GOOD WITH HIS HANDS
by Lauren Blakely & Lili Valente
A sexy best friend's brother romance from bestselling authors Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente!
I'm the wrong guy for her.
She's sunshine and cherry pie. I'm whiskey and fast cars. I'm also keeping one hell of a secret from the woman I've wanted for years.
But when I find a list my sister left behind for Ruby, I've got no choice but to offer the sexy, big-hearted girl next door both a road trip and a chance.
A chance to discover how big she can dream.
And if some of those dreams play out in the bedroom? Well, there’s nothing wrong with a few -- okay, several -- hot nights together as we hit the beach, visit old stomping grounds, and test all sorts of limits, in and out of the sheets.
Seven days, then I'm off, moving across the country, far away from her.
No way can things get complicated in a week. Ruby and I aren’t the kind of dream that has a shot of coming true.
Especially once she learns what I’ve done.
GOOD WITH HIS HANDS is a sexy standalone romance in the Good in Bed series!
Ruby Valentine is starting a new chapter in her life. She has been through something terrible and came out of it on the other side, but now it is time to move on. But she has been kind of stuck in a rut, and her friend, Jesse Hendrix has just the way to get her unstuck and to broaden her horizons.
Jesse is Ruby's best friend's brother and they became closer friends during a difficult time for them both. He knows how hard it has been for Ruby to overcome. So now he is providing her with a To-Do List to push her outside her comfort zone and test her limits. And he is willing to go along for the ride. But he also has another surprise for her that she might not be so happy about and might be keeping a secret too.
Ruby has always been sweet, bright, and kind. Due to the things she has been dealing with over the last couple of years, her light sort of dimmed and she was a bit lost. But this is just what she needs to jumpstart her life and her heart. And Jesse has also struggled with grief, but is already planning on making big changes in his life. He is charming, caring, protective, and finding he is even a bit possessive. They share a love of art and creativity. They have history and have shared hard experiences. And they have a fun rapport and mutual respect while also harboring secret crushes on the other.
List, Lust, Life, Love. This is a sexy, sweet, emotional story of loss, trying new things, pushing limits, and figuring out what they need to be happy and fulfilled. These two hover the lines of friends and friends-with-benefits while their feelings are taking off on their own. But they have a set timeline and both have dreams and plans for their future.
Are they asking for heartbreak or will they find more than they ever expected?
These two author's writing styles flow well together. This snappy, hot rom-com is layered over some more difficult topics bringing more depth to their story. I was glad to see a couple of epilogues. I also liked her sassy cousin-friend, Gigi, and she will be the subject of the next book, Good To Be Bad.

Ruby just finished physical therapy after a terrible accident that left her life changed and claimed the life of her best friend. Her outlook has changed with her situation, but she is feeling a little stuck as she looks to what is next now that she is fully healed again.
Jesse found a bucket list of sorts from his deceased sister that he thinks Ruby needs to complete and he wants to be the one to help her. He is moving in a week, but this is the perfect opportunity to spend a few final days with her before he leaves and also help her spread her wings as she gets back on her feet. It doesn’t matter that he’s been attracted to her for years, what can happen in a week?
This was a fun friends to lovers story. I loved watching as they worked through the tasks on the list, as Ruby worked through what she wanted as her next steps, and they played with the fire that sparked between them. The story felt light, but also had a depth with the history between the characters and the secret Jesse was keeping.
This author duo is well matched. The story flowed, the characters were interesting, and the story kept moving forward. I look forward to more from this series, as the side characters continue to be developed and expanded into a full world.
