Publisher's summary

He puts the screw in screwball comedy....

Brynn

At 34, I'm reeling from a divorce. I don't want to party or try to move on. I just want to stay home and post a new recipe on my blog: Brynn's Dips and Balls. But my friends aren't having it. Get out there again, they say. It will be fun, they say. I'm still taking a hard pass.

Free designer cocktails, they say. And that's a game-changer. Too bad my ex shows up with his new arm candy. That's when I lose my mind. But when my besties dare me to leap on the first single man I see, they don't expect me to actually go through with it.

Tom

All I need right now is some peace and quiet while my home renovation TV show is on hiatus. But when a curvy woman in a red wrap dress charges me like she's a gymnast about to mount my high bar, all I can do is brace myself and catch her. What follows is the hottest experience of my adult life.

I want a repeat, but my flying Cinderella disappears immediately afterward. She doesn't leave a glass slipper, either - just a pair of panties with chocolate bunnies printed on them. But I will find her.

LOVED it! Hilarious, HOT and A+ performances!

First things first-I'm biased where Sarina Bowen is concerned. I'll read anything she writes and YES I did say READ. That being said, her audios are some of my all time favs for many many reasons (HIM/US are MUST LISTENS) but their humor isn't usually the first reason on the list. All of her books have funny moments, but obviously the addition of Tanya Eby as co-writer inspired some seriously comedic moments.

This book is light on angst and drama, heavy on "I Love Lucy" style moments that will make you laugh out loud. The combination of the "gardener" Tom and aspiring food blogger and recently divorced Brynn are excellent. They're real people with real bodies, self-consciousness and life problems. Listening to them navigate their issues to find each other amongst all the noise is very satisfying and their foibles along the way are hysterical.

Erin Mallon is perfection as always. I'm not sure there's an audiobook by her that I wouldn't listen to. Her male voice is on point and always sexy. Luke Daniels is relatively new to me in romance and I loved his performance. His female voice wasn't falsetto, just a higher tone, which I really appreciate. Plus when "little Tom" is speaking-it's hilarious.

Get some Man Hands and you won't be disappointed. I'm really looking forward to the next book from the dynamic duo of authors!

Romantic Comedy Gold!

This is the funniest audiobook that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. This is romantic comedy gold and I loved every minute! Often when I own both the audio and ebook versions of a title, I will switch back and forth depending on the situation. This is the VERY first time that I forced myself to not read the book, so that I could solely experience it through the audio.

I probably looked like a mad woman walking my dog this week while listening to this book. I was laughing and snorting and had a crazed smile on my face. The narration was absolutely fantastic! Erin Mallon and Luke Daniels could not have performed this better! This is actually the first book I have listened to narrated by Luke Daniels, but it surely won't be my last! Everything was so vibrant and energetic that you can't help but get swept up in Tom and Brynn's story. And don't even get me started on Tom's.... hammer. Holy moly. He had some of THE BEST dialogue in the book and his POV chapter towards the end - I was dying!!

This is a lighthearted and hilarious book. There is no heavy lifting or unnecessary angst or drama. It is pure fun and it is sure to bring a smile to your face. I can't wait for Ash and Braht's book next. Loved this one!

Such a great time

Of course the names are what brought me into this project and I’m so glad that I did take a listen. To normally see Tanya’s name on the narrator end of the credits, I was of course interested to see how things would go on the author end and it was not a disappointment!

The storyline was light and humorous. Not a lot of angst to contend with, just enough to grip you in and keep you listening. While the plot was a predictable one, the aspects that they pulled in to make it their own truly made it special and credit worthy.

The character chemistry was so incredible. Right off the bat. These characters went from strangers to not and it was so believable and had me completely obsessed with them. The female lead is a bigger girl and that is not a typical body type and it was so refreshing. Especially with the way that the male lead described her and her sexiness. It was so believable and it actually went so far as to make my curves feel more sexy. That is the talent of a book to transcend to the reader in that way. I was really, really in love with these characters. Not to mention, hello. A carpenter. The way the female lead described him hammering and nailing and... drilling. This book is so, so sexy.

Very well done. Loved it.

Funny because most of it is real

Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, I’m a big fan of everyone involved in this audiobook, but I must say, my first with Luke.
And let me tell you all about Luke Daniels, he’s performance was outstanding, Tom’s Dick hands down won the best actor award in my humble opinion, 😂😂😂.
I laughed and honestly nearly burped a couple of times myself while listening, brilliant writing and hilarious story.
Can’t wait until the next release in this series by two very talented authors, and FYI Tanya Eby is one of my all time favorite narrators too. Just saying, in case you aren’t aware that her talensts are many. I won’t judge trust me,I only just found out she is also an author. Go figure people, the world is full of talented people.

Don't Miss This One!!

So, there are a lot of excellent romantic comedy-type romances right now, and that is awesome. In times like these, it's easy to miss some wonderful gems. Don't let this be one of them. Sure, it'll be good in five years when you come across it again, but seriously--why wait? THIS is a little different than the others -in the best ways. I did not know that Tanya Eby (an excellent narrator who is one of my faves) also was writing, and this is my first (but definitely not last) listen to a book with Sarina Bowen's name in the byline as well. I can't speak to how their writing is separately, but together, this is a magical writing team. This felt like the most FUN book I've listened to in a while. It was real in the way the interactions between the characters went, but totally "suspend belief for the sake of the full comedic effect in the story" in other parts that gave it a bit of a slapstick feel but not to the point of eyerolling, just to the point of perfect hilarity. The visuals you will compose in your head will crack you up. As others have said, the penis POV was just epic.

Luke Daniels and Erin Mallon were a perfect duo for this wild and crazy but also sweet and sentimental ride. Hold on! It's definitely a good one!

I'd give this more stars if I could

I was not expecting this book to be this funny! I was looking for something fun and entertaining that might be a little funny. Was laughing out loud within the first few minutes. Often rom com can be all fluff or not enough. I thought this was a great balance and felt more real than contrived. Brynn's internal dialogue is just hysterical. Her friends are great. And, even Tom's body parts have some things to say. This could have gone SO many different ways. But, the writing was done beautifully. And, I was SO glad Brynn didn't have the typical jump to conclusions reaction followed with the usual and overused misunderstanding drama.

And, the narration was knocked out of the park. Erin Mallon is just so great with humor. And, Luke Daniels, who I wasn't familiar with, was just as great. For me, this was a great find. I was provided this audiobook by Audiobook Boom and I'm SO glad I requested it. The laughs last until the end.

Hilarious!!

Hilarious! I love this book so much! It's hilarious, sweet, intense and heartwarming. I love the story of Brynn and Tom. The narrators are really perfect for this audiobook. I laughed so hard!! You must listen to this jewel! I've added this book to my list of favorites and I will listen to it again in a bad day just to make me smile! Thank you so much Sarina Bowen / Tanya Eby and Luke Daniels / Erin Mallon for this unbelievable moment. I can't wait for the next book in the Series.

INCREDIBLY FUNNY AND SEXY!

Can we have more from this duo please?!?! This book had me literally doubled over from laughter. It is a great light-hearted rom/com, perfect for a weekend listen, or while you're doing housework. This story had a lot of moments that were so realistic about failed relationships and the toll it can take on you, and every moment was seriously hilarious. I loved the title, I loved the characters, and I want an entire book dedicated to 'Tom's Dick'--one of the best supporting characters ever! If I had to give one criticism it's Luke Daniels performance, it was a bit over the top and overly dramatic, but overall, this book hit it out of the park.

If you like a romantic comedy audio, this is for you!

This audio by Tanya Eby and Sarina Bowen is the type of romantic comedy that will have you in tears. The amount of internal dialogue alone, had me in tears! There’s nothing like reading/listening to a love story that has a solid background of the main characters. This was beautifully narrated, but Eric Mallon and Luke Daniels who managed to pull off both female and male voices to a “T”.
My only complaint, unless I missed it is who posted the scandalous video??! I still give it 5 Stars for the perfect blend of romantic touches, comedy, and scandalous behavior.
