"Good with His Hands" was a fun best friend's brother romance, though it had kind of a bittersweet note to it because main characters Ruby Valentine and Jesse Hendrix didn't really bond until after Jesse's sister was killed in a car accident. Ruby was badly injured in the same accident. Two years later, she had learned how to walk again and worked through much of the grief of losing her best friend, but she certainly wasn't living her best life. When Jesse found a silly to-do list his sister left behind for Ruby, he knew it was the perfect thing to get her out of her rut, so he decided to use the time he had left before moving to Los Angeles to help her complete it.
Ruby and Jesse were very cute together, and I enjoyed their banter and steamy chemistry. I particularly appreciated the way that they supported each other and tried so hard to keep Jesse's sister Claire's memory alive. I also loved the book's message that it's important to seize the day because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Given my battle with breast cancer over the past two years, it's a message that really resonated with me; I think I needed the reminder to be more open to finding ways to incorporate this philosophy into my daily life.

Overall, I really enjoyed "Good with His Hands" and recommend it for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy readers. I look forward to the next book in the series, which will feature Ruby's cousin Gigi. She was a fun secondary character in this book, so it should be a good one!

About "Good with His Hands"
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!
