He had it. I wanted it.And that’s how it ended up in my mouth.Oh, get your mind out of the gutter, will you? I’m not talking about that!All I did was give it a little lick. Okay, fine, I may have shoved the whole thing in my face. Not my finest moment, but hey, the guy deserved it. At least now Saul Stryker knows I exist.Why is he always hanging around here anyway? Smelling like bottled sin, … anyway? Smelling like bottled sin, looking way too hot while he casually raids my fridge. Just because his business partner is my roommate, Stryker acts like he owns the place. Well, he can’t just help himself to whatever he wants, whenever he wants it!
So what am I, the invisible girl?
That’s it – bring on the coal, I’m done being nice!

For f***’s sake, it was just a pickle!
Why is this chick going all Bad Santa on me? One minute I’m having lunch with Perry and next thing I know, his weirdo roommate is hijacking my kosher dill and slurping on it like a demented bloodhound.
Da-amn.
Is it wrong that I may have been slightly turned on by the way she was deep-throating that thing?
This could get interesting. Because now I’m looking beyond the berets, Uggs and tacky Christmas sweaters, and noticing Jayne Pritchett for the first time.
I gotta say, I’m liking what I’m seeing.
And now all I want is for the little pickle licker to notice me.
Contains sexual situations (obviously), adult language (naturally), and possibly a few inappropriate references to garden vegetables. Just sayin’.

Pickle Licker: a quirky Christmas novella was the funniest, most adorable thing I’ve read in a long while! My first foray into the world of Allie Gail was quite the adventure and I loved every minute! Completely ridiculous, hilariously irreverent and utterly heartwarming, it was the perfect short read.
Saul Stryker (great name) put Jayne Prichett solidly into the best friend’s, much younger sister category and barely even sees her but when stomps adorably over to him and deep-throats his pickle, he can no longer ignore her. Ok well technically it was her pickle but still, you see how that’ll change the way a guy sees things, right? He’s made himself at home in the house she shares with his friend Perry, while they work on their streaming game concept and apparently, Jayne doesn’t like to share her food. After Perry reveals she’s not his younger sister, the blinders come off and Saul finds himself falling for the quirky little bombshell.
Jayne has little opinion of Saul, especially since he’s eating her out of house and home and ignored her for the three weeks he’s been working with Perry. She’s sick, tired and hungry and those three things are combustible. When the infuriating man steals her last pickle, she’s had it. Not only is she going to give him a piece of her mind, she’s going to render that pickle inedible. Or so she thinks. Her display with the pickle seems to turn on a sign saying “let the games begin”. At first she’s resistant but she can’t resist this good looking, funny, completely unfiltered guy for long.
This was an insta-love story full of laughs and tons of heart! Despite not caring for several of the other characters, I loved it. Definitely a great Christmas read! I look forward to more from Allie Gale.

Pickle Licker was the first book I’ve read by Allie Gail. It was irreverent, funny, heartwarming and made me smile. The characters was well written and Saul was super sexy and quite swoon worthy at times. I liked how independent Jayne Pritchett was. She had a less than stellar upbringing with her flighty mom, but she didn’t let that baggage pull her down. She was sweet and kind and fell hard for Mr Stryker.
Jayne thought she hated Saul, after all he hadn’t made the best of impressions with her in the three weeks he’d been in the apartment she shared with her lifelong best friend. But when Saul steals her last pickle, he’s gone a step too far. She’s gonna make him pay!
What Jayne does to that pickle in revenge gets her noticed for the first time and when Saul finds out that’s she and his mate Saul are just friends, he starts to see her in a very different light.
It’s not long before her ‘pickle party’ is being put to use in other more exciting ways. Saul was sold from the first lick.
This was a fast, insta-love, enemies to lovers kind of story. There was very little, angst, no drama for exes or family. Saul and Jayne were just two people falling in love during the holiday season and I enjoyed every sassy, sexy, chemistry laden moment of it. It’s told in dual POV, Jayne and Saul alternating with their sassy, sometimes dirty commentary. There was some seriously aww moments, and kudos to Saul in the tee-teeing incident with toddler Lenny.
All in all, a fun and fast holiday romance and well worth a read.
I liked this book.
If you’re looking for a fun, hilarious holiday read then look no further. This book had me laughing from beginning to end. I was sucked in right from the beginning. I love the quirky characters in this one so much. It’s a light read that left me satisfied when I finished reading. It’s definitely a book you want to gobble up yet you hate to see end. It’s perfect book to read during the holiday season because along with the humor there is plenty of heart.
I absolutely adore this book!! The characters are fun and quirky! Saul is definitely added to my harem!!
Jayne is the roommate of Saul’s co-worker / buddy Perry, and she is fed up with him helping himself to her food, so she decides to take revenge, which makes me look at a pickle in a new light lol. Will these two move on from enemies / lovers now that Saul has noticed the feisty Jayne? No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will certainly not be disappointed! This is a well written flawless story, which has tad angst, and is a heart-warming, fun, steamy, and a thoroughly entertaining read. I was totally hooked from beginning to end, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
