The Glory Girls (The Shady Lane Series) (Volume 1)

THE GLORY GIRLS, Book 1 of The Shady Lane Series Too young for retirement and too old for trendy fashions, their marriages and their waistlines have seen better days. The Glory Girls, may be women of a “certain age” but they have no intentions of acting like it. Sassy, classy and just a touch smart-assy, they are loyal to a fault and rally around one another like Musketeers on steroids when the need calls for it. Determined to combat marital complacency, the trials and tribulations of mid-life and the inevitable monotony of predictable days, they invent the “flipping” game, a simple means of deciding what they should do without favoritism. When the last envelope is opened, their next escapade is determined. Playing by their own rules each of them is required to participate, willingly or unwillingly, but, nothing could have prepared them for what was coming next, nothing in their wildest dreams. Mayhem ensues when they land in a class to learn the Art of Seduction. Stirring up laughter, mischief, revenge and long-lost loves along the way, the eight-week course merrily dances them down a path to crossroads they have been diligently avoiding for years. Three time divorcee Jazzy O’Brien has a knack for picking the wrong man for all the wrong reasons. All indications are that she’s about to do it again. Always in charge, Dell Potts wears the pants in her family—and everywhere else for that matter, but when another woman takes an interest in her husband, is it time for a change? Logical, level-headed Vivienne Fletcher always plays by the rules but finds the flames of her second marriage have burned down to dying embers, leaving her with three choices – live with it, light a fire under it or stomp it out. Irreverent, fun-loving, Nina Kimball hates to play by any rules except her own until she is plunged back into a twenty year old game that she is determined to win this time — one way or the other. Sworn to a solemn oath to remain friends forever because they know too much about each other and blackmail is not beneath any of them, the Glory Girls is a lively, fun-filled, glimpse into the bonds of friendship, the strength women draw from one another, and the undying truth that “a good friend will help you move, but a really good friend will help you move the body “.
