I really enjoyed the first two books in this series so I had no doubt I'd enjoy this one as well but Handcuffed In Housewares had a little bit different feel to me. It wasn't quite as heavy, it was more light-hearted and dare I say more fun. Of course when the hero and heroine meet because he's naked and chained to a toilet in an upscale home furnishings store, you know this isn't going to be a typical love story!Burton Anderson thought just thought his life was getting back to normal when his date handcuffs him to a toilet and leaves him there naked. There's a really good story why that happens but I won't reveal it because you just need to read this book and find out for yourself. It just so happens that designer Leigh Schyuler was getting an early morning wall through by the store's owner when he's called away and she discovers Burton. After she helps him they part ways but she's finding it hard to forget him and when a friend needs a contractor he's the first person she thinks of. A chance meeting in a hardware store leads to a date with her friends followed by hot as hell sex on a desk.Being this is a novella, the story progresses at a rapid pace but I still couldn't help but love every minute of it. Both Burton and Leigh have some trust issues because of previous relationships gone bad but thankfully she has some good friends who make her see reason. I like that she confronts him and that he realizes his fears were irrational.There was so much to like about this book; I loved seeing the characters from the previous books as well as the rest of the Tulle & Tulips crew, the dialog was witty and entertaining, the characters though damaged were willing to put themselves out there, and because this is a Nikki Duncan book the sex was sizzling. For a quick, hot, and fun read don't miss Handcuffed In Housewares, you won't be disappointed!Review copy provided for an honest review.
