Kitty and her Florida girlfriends have been getting
together to play Bunco every Thursday night for years. It's
a girls' night out ritual that is sacred to the so
called "Bunco Babes." They have shared dating horrors,
marriage proposals and babies. This tight-knit group is
held together by Kitty, Shea and Pilar: the reigning queens
of Bunco.
This particular story revolves around Kitty. She's
celebrating her 35th birthday and lamenting her non-
existent sex life and dwindling bank account. She's
certainly needing a little male companionship and some
money. She is a real estate broker who's fallen on hard
times as a new cookie-cutter neighborhood has cropped up in
town and is represented by another broker.
The "Bunco Babes" try to make Kitty's birthday special by
hiring an exotic dancer. While she's being detained by
Officer Bob, Kitty's thoughts go to Steve the Plumber, the
hot repair man who shows up to fix her broken toilet just
as Bunco is getting underway at her house. After everyone
leaves for the night, there is a knock at the door and
Steve has returned because he left a plumbing tool at her
house. Basically, Kitty's toilet is not the only thing that
gets fixed by Steve the Plumber on this particular night!
BUNCO BABES TELL ALL is a very lighthearted read. If you
just don't have time to schedule regular girls' nights out
with your friends, pick up this book and you just might get
your girlfriend fix. The gossip, food and drinks are always
flowing. Maria Geraci has created a storyline that
will be easy to follow-up on in future novels.
Woman cannot live by Bunco alone.
Meet the Bunco Babes of Whispering Bay in BUNCO
BABES TELL ALL. Every Thursday night they roll
dice, drink frozen margaritas, and catch up on all the
gossip in their small north Florida town. Kitty Burke is
the only Bunco Babe who is still single—which is okay—but
she's thirty-five and may need to face the fact that her
image of Mr. Right is all wrong.
Take Steve (the “handyman”). Very sexy—but on paper, with
three failed marriages and a shady career, maybe not great
husband material. And, yes, his ring tone is “Freebird.”
Certainly fellow Babes Shea and Pilar vote thumbs down.
But maybe there’s more to Steve than meets the eye (which
is considerable). Is it time for Kitty to take a chance
and hope that she can be as lucky in love as she is at
Bunco?
