5 Stars for Man Cuffed (Man Hands #4) by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby


A new comedy from the USA Today bestselling duo!

Mac
A good cop can always spot trouble. That’s why my senses started pinging the moment I met the hottie next door. The neighborhood may never be the same. First she confuses me for a male stripper and tries to remove my uniform. (The guys on the force will never let me live that down.) And then there’s the breaking and entering.

I don’t know what to do with her. My libido has a few ideas of its own, though. Bad, bad ideas.

Meg
Hey, it’s not my fault that Hot Cop’s nightstick gets excited every time we see each other. And I can’t help that someone broke into his apartment.
Fine—that last thing was totally my fault. And I intend to make amends. So when he needs a date for his sister’s wedding, I’m there. This is right up my alley. I’m an actor. By the time it’s over, his entire family will believe we’re a couple.

Even him.

Warning: may cause unrestrained giggling in public. Contains: a bridezilla with a turkey leg, a flash mob, and a growly hero.



 
What I thought about Man Cuffed

I'm just going to say it -- I loved Man Cuffed. It was light and wonderful and a great escape read for me after a rough day at work.

I adored Meg. She's upbeat and focused on what is right for her. She's got a great sense of humor and is willing to deal with some uncomfortable circumstances between acting jobs. I just loved her take on life. When she meets Mac during the a bridezilla bachelorette party, well... you need to read it for yourself. It's a great meet-cute.

Mac never forgot meeting Meg, and it's a surprise to everyone when Mac and Meg end up neighbors, which is great because they get to see each other, and not-so-great because Mac knows dating a neighbor isn't a smart thing to do since he's not a long-term relationship sort of guy. He wants her, she wants him, but there's a whole bunch of feelings from past hurts that Mac needs to resolve first.

There's an incredible spark between these two characters, and in the very best way of romantic comedies, Mac and Meg eventually get together. They do have a few things to work out and that does happen (although it involves a boat and a jumper) and brings some healing to Mac's bruised and battered heart, which paves the way for something really good for him and Meg.

Man Cuffed is a feel good read with plenty of humor, a dash of drama, and two people who are perfect for each other. This is on my list of books I read when I need a pick-me-up and it left me with a smile on my face wanting more of these two characters. While there are mentions of past characters in the series, this works very well as a standalone.

Overall, a very entertaining and satisfying romance!
