BRYNN

At thirty-four, I’m reeling from a divorce. I don’t want to party or try to move on. I just want to stay home and post a new recipe on my blog: Brynn’s Dips and Balls.

But my friends aren’t having it. Get out there again, they say. It will be fun, they say. I’m still taking a hard pass. 

Free designer cocktails, they say. And that’s a game-changer. 

Too bad my ex shows up with his new arm candy. That’s when I lose my mind. But when my besties dare me to leap on the first single man I see, they don't expect me to actually go through with it.

TOM

All I need right now is some peace and quiet while my home renovation TV show is on hiatus. But when a curvy woman in a red wrap dress charges me like she’s a gymnast about to mount my high bar, all I can do is brace myself and catch her. What follows is the hottest experience of my adult life. 

I want a repeat, but my flying Cinderella disappears immediately afterward. She doesn’t leave a glass slipper, either—just a pair of panties with chocolate bunnies printed on them. 

But I will find her. 

Snappy, hot and hilarious. New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent

It's FUNNY!! I mean, really funny. My whole body shook, trying to suppress my laughter made me snort and I accidentally doinked myself on the head with my kindle. Stacy is Sassy

Why did I add Man Hands to my bookshelf?

I bought a digital copy of this book back in 2018. After reading Bountiful by Sarina Bowen, I wanted to read everything she had ever written. I am still working on that goal, but Sarina Bowen remains a favorite author. I actually read the fourth book in this series but have neglected the first three. I just noticed that the first 3 books in this series are available in a bundle for a single credit on Audible, so I may have to grab a copy. I have high hopes for this book if I can just find the time to read it!

What are your thoughts? Have you read this book?  Would you recommend it?
