Since opening up their day spa, The Haven, the wonderful
women of the Hot Flash Club have been busy indulging the
beleaguered, nerve-frazzled throngs. Now, in Nancy Thayer's
hilarious new Hot Flash novel, it's the friends' turn to
grab some soothing, and much-deserved R&R. When a long-time
Haven client asks the gals to housesit her Nantucket
hideaway for the summer, they're beyond thrilled; the cozy
island enclave is the perfect place to shop, swim, chill,
and plan Marilyn's upcoming wedding to Ian, her Scottish
fiancé. And Marilyn desperately needs the break, since Ian's
grown son has crashed at the couple's place with no
departure date in sight. Soon after they arrive, the other
hot flashers surrender to their own summer flings: Shirley
entertains a steamy dalliance with a scruffy, sexy local
fisherman that could lead to something deeper; Faye finds
her dream house, but restoring it could be a costly
nightmare; craft-maven Polly is enthralled by the island's
bounty, from shell art to lightship baskets; and even
hardboiled Alice swoons with romantic adventure-or is it
seasickness? But this lovefest among the sand and ocean
breezes is not without its consequences. Each woman must
determine for herself what she is willing to give up in
order to hold onto what she has found-and all of them fear
that Shirley is on the brink of making a huge mistake, one
that threatens their harmony and their business. But these
concerns may be eclipsed by the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of family heirlooms at the house where they
are staying, and rumors that the place harbors spirits other
than Grey Goose and Tanqueray. Nancy Thayer continues her
hugely successful Hot Flash serieswith this wickedly funny,
delightfully bawdy tale. These irresistible women spring to
life-along with their passions, their sorrows, their joys,
and, most importantly, their friendship. So pack your bags
and join these fabulous five for a season of fun, sun, love,
sex, and estrogen therapy.
