Cuff Me

by Lauren Layne

Overview

Meet New York's Finest-three hot brothers sworn to protect and serve the city they love . . . and the women who've stolen their hearts.

Vincent Moretti is one of the NYPD's top homicide detectives-and one of the most eligible bachelors in town. His family, however, thinks he should date his longtime partner, Jill-a sassy, sexy, smart-mouthed blonde who drives him absolutely crazy.

Behind the quiet authority, tough-guy demeanor, and dark aviator glasses lies a man with a big soul-and a hard body that can soften any girl's heart. After years as his coworker, Jill Henley has given up hope that anything could happen between her and Vin. Besides, loving him would break all the rules. But seeing Jill with someone else triggers feelings in Vincent he never knew he had. Now he'll have to stop playing good cop/bad cop-and find a way to convince her to be his partner for life. . .

Editorial Reviews

★ 02/29/2016
A high-profile murder case is the backdrop for this cleverly crafted finale in Layne’s New York’s Finest contemporary trilogy (after Steal Me). New York homicide detective Vincent Moretti likes his aviator sunglasses shiny, his leather jacket snug, and his cases solved. The introverted cop limits his relationships to his close-knit family and his partner, Jill Henly. When she goes on sabbatical for three months, he realizes how much she means to him, so he decides to ask her out when she gets back. Jill has secretly harbored a crush on Vincent for six years. His grumpy disposition and cocky attitude do nothing to discourage her. However, she can’t wait around for Vincent forever, so while she’s away she ends up getting engaged to another man. Vincent wants nothing more than for Jill to be happy, but he’s devastated to learn of her engagement. For the first time in his career, he begins having trouble concentrating on work, which forces him to deal with his feelings. The secondary plot involving the unsolved murder case is as gripping as the smoldering romance. Readers will be very sad to bid farewell to this standout series, its well-developed characters, and their whimsical repartee. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, Seymour Agency. (Apr.)

Publishers Weekly

"4 1/2 stars! TOP PICK! Layne can always be counted on to create an engaging, steamy and thoroughly rewarding reading experience, and she brings all her considerable talents to bear on this third installment of her New York's Finest series. This story dwells in tiny details and unforgettable moments that combine to make this cantankerous partners-to-lovers story into something remarkable. Layne forces both her highly reserved hero, as well as his outgoing, clever heroine, to undergo some intense soul-searching, but their longing only makes their happiness that much more intense and adds considerably to an already-winning series."—RT Book Reviews

"4 1/2 stars! HOT! Smart dialogue, creative plotting and an insightful, unexpected romance ensure that Layne's latest New York's Finest novel is a sure-fire success...a pitch-perfect addition to a lovely series."—RT Book Reviews on Steal Me

"Layne launches the New York's Finest contemporary romance series with this stellar example of the genre. Ava and Luc's sparks are immediate, and the evolution of their relationship-which starts with little common ground except a dedication to singlehood-is stimulating and realistic. They negotiate their professional and romantic interactions with banter that's clever but not self-satisfied, and their moment of truth feels warm and real. Fans of slightly gritty contemporaries will adore this"—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Frisk Me

"4 1/2 stars! The first in Layne's New York's Finest series is funny, delightfully steamy and deeply touching, setting the bar quite high. Layne creates protagonists who are fully realized and likable, ensuring that their individual journeys are as clever and moving as their romance, and her novels are always the better for it. A bustling, detailed setting and a stellar cast of supporting characters, particularly the hero's large and outspoken family, provide the perfect backdrop for her characters and keep expectations high for the rest of this soon-to-be-a-hit series."—RT Book Reviews on Frisk Me

"Layne is hands down the queen of witty dialogue and sexy scenes. Frisk Me was a sensual combo of both that left me dying for more."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken

"Frisk Me is a terrific love story—equal parts sweet and hot. Layne is a master of both sexual tension and the soul-satisfying HEA."—Serena Bell, USA Today bestselling author

"Funny, intelligent and touching."—Ruthie Knox, USA Today bestselling author on After the Kiss
