Brynn is stuck in a rut following her divorce, decimation of her self esteem, and loss of her job. Her no-nonsense friends, Ash and Sadie, are determined to push her boundaries and get her back into the dating world...or at least find her a hot hook-up. Brynn is not a delicate flower and she is woefully out of practice when it comes to handling men. Her past type has always been the more high maintenance, sensitive, wimpy boy-man. So her friends push her to ignore her instincts and look for the opposite. 

And then she sees Tom...big, burly, handsome, hot, and with dirt on his hands. And impulsively she takes matters into her own hands and initiates a full body slam. But their chemistry explodes into a scorching, Earth-shaking tryst and they are both left reeling from the impact.

But now he needs to find her again....and to come clean about who he really is. And that will bring a whole host of complications and challenges for them to deal with together. 

This is a fast-paced, fun, sexy, hilarious, rom com with lovable characters told in dual points of view.  It is a bit over-the-top, but I totally smiled, laughed, and swooned. I adored Tom with his big heart and manly hands and body that made her feel safe and beautiful. And Brynn was so easy to relate to with her curves, insecurities, and self esteem issues, but she was funny, smart, and natural. They really just fit and were exactly what they didn't know they even needed.  They were mature and just so sweet and sexy together even when they had no clue what they were really doing. 

The side characters of Ash, Braht, and Sadie kept it even more interesting and full of sarcasm and laughs. I loved the no-holds-barred humor, wit and, charm. But it also had some good character growth and messages about hope, home, and happiness. I was engaged by the first page and read it in one sitting. This is one of those stories that you just devour and leaves you with a big happy, smile on your face. 

I am looking forward to their next collab on Man Card.

Brynn is doing her best to recover from her divorce, but despite her efforts to keep her head down her friends just want her to get out and try again. An unexpected sighting of her ex with new arm candy sends her flying (literally) into a stranger’s arms on a dare.

Tom is a “handyman,” but a handyman with a TV show. He isn’t expecting the sparks that fly after he catches (literally) a woman at a party, but the connection they find in the boathouse will follow them, even if he doesn’t actually know who she is.

The situations these two find themselves in had me in stitches from the start -- everything from giggles to full on laughter occurred as I read. This was a case of the perfect story at the perfect time. I absolutely needed this fun, humorous tale.

This was such a fun, light hearted rom-com. The humor was perfect at keeping the story easy and the situations entertaining. I went into this expecting something fun and funny and Man Hands delivered. I have read many of Sarina’s books, but this is my first time reading from Tanya. I look forward to their next collaboration with glee, especially with the bits and pieces we learn about Braht and Ash during Brynn and Tom’s story.
