Synopsis
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.

I've only read Man Card (book 2) in the Man Hands series by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby, and the hero, Braht, really made an impression on me. I am so happy I was able to pick up Man Cuffed because it's hands-down the funniest romance I've read this year.

 Man Cuffed opened with Meg working at Ye Olde Tavern, serving a bridezilla and her rowdy group of friends. They were getting antsy waiting for the strippers to arrive, and Meg just about had it when finally three men dressed as police officers show up. Hoping to get the show on the road and containing the restless group, she takes it upon herself to help out the "strippers" when they just seemed to stand there. Turns out the man she's trying to strip off his pants is Officer Mac Maguire, an actual cop who came in to warn the restaurant about a serious problem. After that meet cute, Meg and Mac do not run into each other again until several months later, when Meg ended up renting an apartment next door to Mac. Through a series of [hilarious] circumstances, Meg, an actress who just can't seem to catch a break, ended up agreeing to play Mac's date to his sister's wedding and the story takes off from there.

Now, I have to say the humor in Man Cuffed won't be everyone's cup of tea. Some might take an issue with the characters' over-the-top ridiculousness, especially Meg, but I personally enjoyed it. You kind of have to suspend your disbelief and when you do, you'll have a grand old time! I was laughing and snorting at some of the antics the characters get into. It's a good time! You don't need to read the previous book in the series to enjoy Man Cuffed, although if you did some of the characters do make a cameo or is mentioned.

I highly recommend reading it between dark romances or emotional ones as like a palate cleanser (which is what I did) and I appreciated it for its humor all the more. If you're in the mood for a fun romance that's a little over-the-top and a little silly, pick up Man Cuffed.
