***IT'S ALIVE!!!***

Age really doesn't matter...

I absolutely LOVED THIS STORY!!! It was so relatable and made me feel so connected to the characters. I blubbered like a baby at one stage. Any reader who has had kids and feels a smidge of self-consciousness from their post-baby bodies will get it. Poor hubby walked in as I was wiping the tears from my eyes. He then faced the *Do you still love me?* emotional and hormonal interrogation. I got the eye-rolling, she’s reading another emotional book, my life is tough, face. As you may have guessed, we’ve been here before…a time or two.

Poor Sadie, she’s a battered and bruised (emotionally not physically) woman who works full-time, feels guilty about it and hates that her kids must go to childcare. She’s also feeling undesirable, worn out and a wee bit sexually frustrated. Her ex-husband was and still is an absolute DOUCHEWAFFLE of epic proportions. Every time he made an entrance (or lack of), I wanted to kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

At Sadie’s most vulnerable time, the most gorgeous man comes into her life and nothing will ever be the same again.

Oh my lordy, I LOVED Liam!! I just sat here for two minutes trying to think of a way that he wasn’t perfect and I honestly can’t. Luckily, we get a little glimpse of what he’s thinking and geez he’s so cute and sweet. The facts are the facts – 1. He’s Hot!! 2. He’s great with kids!! 3. He’s smart!! 4. He’s sexy!! 5. He’s thoughtful, sweet, considerate, caring and loving… I really could go on and on…SEE PERFECT!!

Poor Liam has a few obstacles he must navigate to get to his HEA. For starters, he’s younger than Sadie. Now, back in the olden days (5 maybe 10 years ago), I had “issues” with the guy being younger. It’s like a few authors got together to prove my “issues” are stupid. More times than not, I’ve felt like a twit for ever having those “issues”. If it’s the right couple, at the right time, in the right place, it doesn’t matter what your bloody age is.

Liam also has to beat Sadie’s past. He’s got to prove his love and devotion and convince her that he’s in for the long haul. I think anyone facing a relationship after a divorce has these concerns and Liam is thankfully aware of her doubts and makes allowances for it.

Seriously, this was another fantastic instalment to the Man Hands series. The characters were funny, a little crazy but refreshingly real. The sexy times were SEXY!! The storyline kept my attention from start to finish and I was left extremely satisfied. I really hope Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby will continue their writing together in the future.
