Lipstick kisses and caviar dreams don’t have a place in my life or his.~ Max (Rebecca Robbins)I’m a bad ass bitch. It’s a truth of mine. I live it and breathe that shit. No, I’m not conceited or full of myself. It’s just something I’ve discovered over the years.I’m damn good by myself, always have been, always will. What I didn’t know is I can be improved upon.Enter the equally bad ass and hella … the equally bad ass and hella charismatic Deckard Camden. Who, the hell, told him to be this jaw-droppingly gorgeous, mountain of a man, in comparison to my little self, projecting a wall of defense that rivals my own?
Nobody prepared me for the sensual words that would fall from his lips or the massive … peace he would bring to my life.
Damn sure didn’t get me ready to be Deckard Camden’s wife … wait, what?

Prologue and excerpt set the characterization of Max and Deck to the ‘T’, but it leaves a lot of questions as to why and loads of “whats”. What is Deck doing back? Why did Deck leave to begin with? How did they get married ~ this is said right from the get-go even, so how did it come about? What exactly is Deck involved in?
Seriously wonderful chemistry between the two main characters, their banter is sexy with an underlying layer of sarcasm. Had the right amount of grit yet softness to it; under almost every hardcore exterior is an interior that is suffering sometimes with a bit of a vulnerability. No matter how hardcore Deck is, you can tell his only soft spot is for Max, even Max was melting and swooning at how sweet he actually is!
The story-line is amazing as everything unfolds, as this is not just a book filled with romance. The questions I asked at the beginning are all intertwined throughout the ARC of the book that I received for a book tour and am excited to see more from the author, Kelsey Elise Sparrow, and maybe another book boyfriend like Deck 😉
I enjoyed reading this story because it had a great female lead. The story had more interesting characters that helped propel the story home. Loved it.
This story is really well written, has characters that are created with tantalizing depth and captivating story line.
Do yourself a favor and get this one. It is worth every penny.

Max is an awesome badass heroine I just loved her she made this book for me from her inventive named tattoo shop to her no nonsense feisty attitude with Mr tall dark and handsome himself Decker. I loved Max and Decker’s banter and found myself laughing out loud. The chemistry between them is of the chart and the book has a great flow. I couldn’t put it down.

I enjoyed this story. Deck and Max were made for each other, their attraction was strong, they were drawn to each other. The chemistry that was between them was sexy, they were good together.
Paper Lipstick by Kelsey Elise Sparrow. I thought this story was well written and entertaining. This book is filled with a good mix of drama, personal conflicts and sexy scenes. I would recommend this book and author to others. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved this book! It has an amazing and well written storyline and characters. The narrator for the audiobook does a fantastic job! I would definitely recommend this book!
This book was so entertaining. It has a little bit of everything in it all wrapped up with a pretty bow. I really enjoyed this book and will be looking forward to listening to more of her books in the future.
Narration is great! She helps bring out all the emotions in this book.
Action packed, fast paced, except for the explicitly detailed hot steamy sex scenes which Max and Decker got on like bunny rabbits.
Narrator Nicole Rene was new to me.
Reviewed for Audiobook Obsession.
I am giving this book 3 stars which I think is very generous.
The characters are meant to be adults but come across as adolescent teenagers.
Their personalities throughout the book are inconsistent and the dialogue does not fit the characters.
There was no depth to the characters, and their relationship had no chemistry. Every character in the book is obsessed with sex. Almost every conversation contains something about sex.
Max and Deck’s relationship is unrealistic in how quickly they got together considering they have no genuine conversations.
For example, Deck plans a dream date for Max… they go and she is excited but because he planned something amazing she wants to leave to have sex and complains when that can’t happen. Another time they are hanging out with friends and she kicks them out to have sex.
There is a lot in the book that is pointless and does not enhance the book
The plot to the story is very thin and overall I found the book boring. I could have easily DNF this book but I pushed through hoping it would get better. It didn’t.
Audio review:
Paper Lipstick caught my eye with its cover, title, & tag line.
Max (Rebecca Robbins) is a sassy, rebel & resolute female lead character. A nursing degree to “Inked To The Max” tattoo parlour owner, such a cute name I love it. Deckard Camden is broody, protective, & a zany alfa male lead. A second chance romance with off the charts chemistry. Suspense is interweaved throughout the romance with underlying danger brewing in the background. Supporting character’s play a instrumental role in this narrative. Ends with a perfect hea epilogue.
Narrator Nicole Rene’s tone & pace was just right. A smooth & easy listen.
This is the first book by this author, and I enjoyed following Max and Deckard story. I felt this book has great storyline, and makes a really second chance love story. I loved Max and Deckard’s characters and the other colorful people you meet in the book.
Absolutely loved this book!!!
