This is a fun escapist romcom starring lovely leading ladies
with awesome chemistry.
Winter Carlyle – corporate lawyer, divorced from a TV
personality drama queen, mostly foil to her player lady-nip (as in catnip) best
friend, family trouble shooter. Pandora – sizzling lounge singer, Gussie is
seriously distressed when her son, Michael (in his twenties), declares that he’s going to
marry a woman much older than him. She makes Winter go to the lounge (Silver
Fox) where Pandora performs and report back to her about the cradle-snatching
woman. Winter goes to the lounge with her bestie, Jessie (a consummate player)
and a couple of other friends. Winter finds that Pandora is not interested in
or encouraging the besotted Michael in any way but more alarmingly, there seem
to be sparks between her and Pandora. Pandora and Winter meet ostensibly to
figure out how to handle the Michael situation but find their connection
growing deeper.
Mad attraction, crazy ploys, cop-and-robbers, witchy-bitchy
ex, a clutch of Pandora admirers (and broken hearts) fill this thoroughly
enjoyable book.
Pandora and Winter both have their insecurities about each
other but are dealt with on gentle, tender (and sometimes grand gesture) ways.
We loved how they both jump to each other’s defence more than once and do not
shy away from calling out anyone who is not giving the other respect. The
attraction and chemistry between the two is fabulous. While there are really no
surprises in the book it is constantly interesting and totally engrossing. We thoroughly
enjoyed reading this one.
Definitely recommended.
