ARC received from publisher via Netgalley for an honest review

This is the 3rd book in the New York's finest series, and although I have not read the first two this has not affected my enjoyment of the Cuff Me.  I have read other books by Ms Layne so I knew what I was in for with Cuff Me.

And I really did enjoy this book.

You never know what you've got till it's gone, isn't that how the saying goes.

That's how it is for Vincent Moretti when his partner, his best friend, Jill Henley comes back from leave engaged. 

The emotions jumped off the pages as Vin comes to terms with losing Jill - even though technically she was never his.  Everyone around them knows how he feels.   You could feel his hurt as he tries to come to terms with this new man in her life.

This is a friends-to-lovers/work partners-to-lovers read, and one that had me drawn in from the beginning. The UST between our lovelies is off the charts.  You just know that things are going to be explosive if/when they get their act together.

There is great banter between the characters, and especially with Vin's family.  They had me laughing out loud at times, and even though they taunt each other, it is done with so much love. 

These are two characters that I just wanted with my whole soul to be together.  No one else would do.

But do they get together?  For that you will need to read for yourself.

Ms Layne is one of those authors that you know you are going to get a smile out of reading.

I look forward to going back and reading the first two books in this series, and look forward to more in the future.
