RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Rarely do I read a book that leaves me nearly speechless. HANDYMAN by Jody Lynn Copeland has managed to do it, though. Really. This collection of three short stories, each hotter than the one before it, almost defies words. But, ahem, let me try and fill you in. And then.well, you'll just have to decide whether or not to read this. I have a feeling I know what you'll decide.

Three women, each with her own agenda: one trying to forget the past, another hoping to find a man who's not as unreliable as the ones she's used to having, and the third in search of a final hurrah before tying the knot. The men who satisfy their various needs are all hot, sexy and with more substance than meets the eye. They, too, have agendas of their own, their main one being meeting their monthly expenses without doing anything they'll regret overmuch. Yes, they're eye candy every woman would like to take a bite out of, but Benny, Thad and Nash have something else in common-they know each other. The reader gains insight into each man in the exchanges they share, which is like icing on an already delicious cake.

HANDYMAN by Jody Lynn Copeland is a wild, erotic ride. My only complaint is that it ended too quickly! I enjoyed each story and will look for more by this talented author. Next time I read one of this author's titles, I'll be sure to turn the fan on before I turn to the first page. Yes, these stories were that hot!
