EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT TO REVIEWERS <3
“Name your other favorite movies,” I challenge Braht.
“All of them?” He chugs his margarita.
“Hmm. Top ten? Top five?”
“That’s totally easy,” he says. Somehow I’ve gotten closer to him on the floor. When he sits back, I actually snuggle in beside him. He’s wearing a ridiculously soft shirt that feels good against my skin. And I watch with fascination as he ticks off the names of films on his fingers. “When Harry Met Sally. The Devil Wears Prada. Roman Holiday. Clueless. And Working Girl.”
I burst out laughing. I can’t help it. “Those are all chick flicks. You should just hand over your man card right now.”
“Not a chance.” Braht’s expression grows intense. “In the first place, I gave you a very thorough demonstration of my man card last week. I don’t remember hearing any complaints.”
I swallow hard, because this is certainly true.
“And secondly, you’re looking at this all backward.”
“I…am?” And why can’t I look away? He has the most beautiful, intelligent eyes.
“Yeah, you are,” he whispers. “It’s the guy who has a firm grip on his man card that can hold your purse. He’s not afraid to be seen with that Tory Burch you like to carry—nice color, by the way. He’ll free up your hands because he likes your hands, and he remembers all the terrific things you can use them for.”
“Oh,” I say slowly. Now my fingers itch to reach out for him. I have to make fists with both hands so I won’t do it.
“Furthermore, he’s not afraid to quote Working Girl. Because Joan Cusack is a genius. And who wouldn’t want to say Melanie Griffith’s best line out loud?”
I can’t help saying it with him, and together we sound like the world’s horniest Greek chorus: “I have a head for business and a body for sin.”
Sin sounds pretty good right now, actually. But Braht’s not done with his speech. “Any man who tells you that chick flicks are for pussies can’t be any good in bed. Because that man does not speak the language of women. He doesn’t know that a little luxury can erase a shitty day of worrying about your ex…”
Braht takes my hand in his and begins to massage it. He has a great technique, applying gentle pressure between each joint. I relax just a little bit more against him.
“…That man doesn’t speak the language because he’s afraid of sounding like a girl. But fuck that noise, honey bear. If a man doesn’t have the vocabulary to describe a satin teddy with peekaboo lace and mother-of-pearl snaps at the crotch, he can’t buy it for you and then strategically ask you to wear it. He can’t plan ahead to blow your mind sometime by lifting your skirt somewhere semi-public and dangerous. And he can’t get down on his knees and kiss that lace and then pop open those snaps while you bite your own hand to keep from screaming when you climax.” Braht takes a deep breath and lets it out in one hot gust. “Fuck. What was the point of this speech?”
“Um…” My voice is hoarse, and my face is suddenly very hot. Let’s not even mention my nipples. “Man cards, I think.” But I’m not sure, because everything tingles.
“Right,” he says with a sigh. “Still got mine. Shall we watch Working Girl next?”
“Okay,” I breathe, sinking a little further into his comforting embrace.
5+ stars
Outrageously outrageous story that will have you snort laughing, giggling and maybe also sigh, swoon and just want to be friends with all the characters!!
This book is the best rom com this year! When you read a book with ease, can’t put it down nor can you go back to everyday life till you finish reading! THAT is a sign of a really fabulous story! I kid you not! I read till my eyes wouldn’t open anymore! They were dropping but I needed to finish! Ok to be honest I did put it down but as soon as I woke I was right up in Braht and Ash’s love story!!! OMG I can’t even begin to describe their love hate relationship!!! Or is it??!!
This book could also be called the Wild misadventures of Ashley and Braht! Seriously those two went through some stuff that you may either cringe or laugh at but anyway, you have to read it! I dare you, as I know, I just know you’ll love it like I did!!
10/10!!!
A fabtabulous rom com!
Book 2 in the Man Hands Series and just when you think you can’t laugh any harder this writing due bring out another brilliantly written hilarious read. If you want a book to give you some feel good factor, leave you smiling like a Cheshire Cat then this is the book for you. It’s funny, has characters you can’t help falling in love with and it’s quirky, just the perfect read on a cold winters night or maybe a day at the beach depending on where you live.
Ash hasn’t had much luck with men, her ex husband is in jail for embezzlement from the company she used to work for, so as you can imagine trusting another man is not something she will do easily, but that’s all about to change when she finds herself working alongside Braht, he seems to be the complete opposite of her, never taking anything seriously but you should never judge a book or man by their cover. Even though Ash knows a relationship with someone you work with is the last thing she needs she can’t keep her hands to herself ....
This book has a lot going for it, it’s funny , it has some great oneliners that will have you laughing out loud, it’s romantic, it’s hot and it will leave you smiling with a fuzzy feeling inside, what’s left to say apart from if you love rom-com this is a must read.
