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.

4.5 hot and hilarious stars

Another fantastically fun book from Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby! I love this series, full of laugh-out-loud humour, heart and sexy romance, and this book is so much fun!

This is the fourth book in the Man Hands series, and is the story of Meg (younger sister of Sadie from book #3), but the character crossover is minimal, and you can easily read this one as a standalone.

Aspiring actress, Meg, is working as a waitress when she gets herself into an awkward situation. While attempting to ‘assist’ at a bachelorette party, she tries to literally rip the pants off the sexy stripper who walks into her restaurant dressed as a police officer… only to discover that he’s not a stripper and actually is a police officer. Whoops! It’s one of those situations that you really want to just move on from and forget about, but when Meg moves into her new apartment a few short months later, guess who is living right next door? That’s right! Hot cop, Mac, and she unexpectedly gets right up close and personal with him once again as she hears his nightly escapades and filthy dirty talk through their thin shared walls.

Mac is a dedicated police officer who has been hurt badly by love. So, in the way of romance heroes everywhere, he has sworn off love and relationships and instead engages in no-strings fuckbuddy arrangements. It works for him, and keeps his life complication-free. And then a big complication moves in next door.

Sparks fly between Meg and Mac from the very beginning. They are wildly attracted to each other, and they don’t hide it, but Mac isn’t prepared to start anything up with the woman living right next door… awkward! So amidst some light breaking and entering, plans about a fake date and other general shenanigans, they become friends… friends who flirt and who say inappropriate things, and it’s so much fun watching them banter back and forth!

I hear him moving about in his apartment. He sighs, and even that is sexy. It’s a warm night, so naturally I hear him step outside to take in the breeze.
“You peeping over here at me, Copper?” I call out.
He peeks over the divider, all cute-like. “That depends. Are you topless?” He asks this somewhat hopefully.

“Can I borrow a cup of sugar?”
Her smile grows mischievous. “Is that a euphemism? Please say yes.”

I love Meg. She’s smart, bright and bubbly, and she’s so much fun. A little OTT perhaps, but in this kind of book that totally works, and I thought she was so freaking entertaining! And it’s a wonderful mix with Mac, who is a bit more on the growly side, but has a wonderfully dry wit, and the two of them bounce off each other beautifully! I laughed so many times, their honesty and openness is fantastic, and I loved watching them fall for each other while Mac tried his best to keep Meg at arm’s length…. yeah, that was never going to last.

“You make me crazy. You’re a whole lot of trouble. You challenge me. You kick my ass. And I’m so fucking hungry for you right now my cock is about to rip out of my pants.”

Sexy and so much fun, I laughed so many times throughout this book. Meg and Mac have a fantastic dynamic, and when their friends and family get involved it’s even better. I loved watching things shift and change between them, and there is a bit of drama as they figure it all out, but it’s done really well, working to build anticipation and excitement, and creating a heartfelt and romantic ending that made me swoon.

I loved this book. It’s a quick and easy read, and lots of fun. I’m hopeful for more from this series, and excited at the possibility of more.

4.5 stars.
