Story
The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Story
I've been in love with my best friend since forever. Okay, fine. Like, kindergarten. It started out platonic, obviously, but then became.... Nope. Still platonic. The problem is that Parker Ellis has been straight since forever. And that makes it difficult to convince him that the two of us are meant to be together. And now, there's no point. All is lost. He's gone and gotten engaged to his high-school sweetheart - which means I have to grin and bear it, while pretending to be the happy, supportive best man, while he prepares to commit his life to a woman.

Story
When Miller Hobbs finds himself on a winter vacation in Colorado with the giant, exceedingly loud, Marian and Wilde families, he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both. So every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and fills Rockley Lodge with holiday merriment (and noise), he escapes to the quaint downtown of Aster Valley where he spies a man through the bakery window kneading dough and dancing to music only he can hear.

I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life. Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check. But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan. And I definitely didn’t expect Fenn Reardon, the island’s incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can’t live without.

But if you get that close to a man with fire in his eyes, you’re gonna get burned, and I was no exception. One taste of Grey Blackwood ruined me for life. The way Grey sees it, I was the one who did the ruining. I humiliated him. Wrecked his life. Destroyed his future.

The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

The issue is that mayhem always seems to find me (which is definitely not my fault), and this time, it comes in the form of a woman looking for her daughter.

So, when one of my brothers hooks up with a dude from another frat house, it catches me off guard when I can’t stop thinking about them…together. There’s only one way for me to get this obsession out of my head, and that’s by jumping in with both feet and putting it into practice.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Publisher's Summary
Tucker Wright’s Clues for Life:
What’s a four-letter word for an utterly oblivious, totally commitment-phobic, heartbreakingly gorgeous man with a pet pig named Bernadette?
That’d be D-U-N-N, as in Dunn Johnson, my very best pal and fishing buddy since I moved to Licking Thicket.
What’s a six-letter word for a nerdy, crossword-loving town doctor who’s doomed to be hopelessly, thoroughly, irrevocably, in love with that straight best friend for the rest of his born days?
That’s T-U-C-K-E-R, as in me.
But when I agree to let Dunn be my 24/7 dating coach, and he decides to get our whole crazy town in on the act, there’s only one six-letter word to describe the pair of us.
I-D-I-O-T-S.

A sweet, quirky friends to lovers romance!
This is the third book in the series and can be read as a standalone.
Dunn and Tucker's relationship is quirky and so wholesome!!
I loved this cute friends to lovers romance small town romance.
Dunn and Tucker's relationship had an easy comfort to it which I enjoyed. The chemistry build up between them was intense and palpable.
The tone of the story was lighthearted and angst free.
The narration was enjoyable and engaging.

Dunn and Tucks story was as funny as the first two. I started it this morning and didn’t stop it until I finished it. Highly recommended. Lucy and May are a great writing duo. You can tell that they must fed off each other’s story telling. Of course Michael Dean as always very enjoyable to listen to.

Laugh out loud adorableness
The third in the series (must listen to Fakers first and Liars second), this story was just as sweet (and sexy) as the first two. I have to admit that I laughed out loud on so many occasions that my husband thought I was going crazy. The adorable town of Licking Thicket and its crazy, quirky inhabitants have found their way into my heart. Many, many wonderful moments of sheer genius in the clever, witty writing. But equally wonderful in storytelling is the narrator Michael Dean. He really brought all three stories to life. Yep, the sexy connections between the lead characters in each story are incredibly hot, which on balance makes this series one of my favorites. I'm hoping there will be a fourth, with a love interest for Carter. Well worth the purchase or Audible credit!!!

Best, best friend to lover!!
Dunn and Tucker have been friends (best, best friends according to Dunn) since Tucker moved to Licking Thicket. I like how clueless Dunn is when it comes to his feelings for Tucker. This leads to some mishaps and hurt feelings, but Tucker has a lot of patience and is unable to stay mad at Dunn for long. This book is very sweet and funny with a few teary-eyed moments. These authors never fail to produce a wonderful book, and this is definitely no exception. This book is probably best enjoyed as part of the series so you can get to know the other Thicketeers. They are half the fun of these books after all.

Disappointing for the usually great Lennox
I've been a huge fan of Lucy Lennox for several years (Made Marian series, Forever Wilde series, Aster Valley series, After Oscar series, and many standalones). All have been excellent. This is the first title of hers with which I've been truly disappointed. It has plenty of small town atmosphere and the quirky characters we would expect in the Thicket, however there is NO story, as such.
(Possible spoilers ahead!) There is no villain or threat, no plot goal (something to be won or accomplished or overcome), etc. It is only about "will they or won't they". Will the two main characters realize they were meant for each other?
Most of the dialog seems to be either giddy townsfolk chit chat (way too much of that here!), or inner dialog detailing the angst of one character or the other. There was no real plot or action, nor story line as such.
I found this to be very boring, as there was nothing to "root for" and no suspense. As a listener I had zero rooting interest except, of course, that one wants to see the meant-for-each-others get together (but we know this will happen).
I suppose one can't totally fault Ms. Lennox, since we don't know how the collaboration with Ms. Archer works, nor what Ms. Archer's contribution or influence may have been. However, fans of Ms. Lennox (of which I am one) should be warned that this is not her usual excellent combination of plot (none here!), character and atmosphere.
Michael Dean's narration is, as always, flawless and spot on. He is superb with what he was given. The characters and atmosphere are good. It's just too bad there's no story (as such) here.

Freakin’ Amazing! 🤩🤩
May Archer abs Lucy Lennox are absolutely brilliant in this collaboration for ‘Fools - Licking Thicket #3’ 🥰
I can understand why this is the favourite, it’s sheer brilliance. 😊
This audiobook has had me laughing one minute, screaming out loud the next in frustration - but ultimately laughing throughout.
What I love about this series is that all the ‘regular Thicket’ characters are included too. Just amazeballs!! 😁
Another great narration by Michael Dean - oh that voice!! (Swoon 🥰)
I’d give a 100🌟‘s if I could ☺️
Looking forward to hearing the next audiobook 🥰

Fun romantic series
This is the third book in the series and possibly my favourite as well as an excellent continuation of the Licking Thicket story, possibly the 'Gayest town' in the whole universe. The likeable characters and ever surprizing storyline make this the type of thing you can dip into again and again. I highly recommend giving it a go.

Adorable idiots
Another cute, hilarious addition to the Licking Thicket series. I love the town, and both boys. The characters were well written and watching them blunder through was so fun. At times the story did waffle a bit, but Michael Dean's performance carried it so I didn't get bored.
I really hope Carter's story is next.
