5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun for all foxy hens!,
By
This review is from: Chik Lit for Foxy Hens (Paperback)
When passion grips you, you can be wracked with guilt. Lonely bodies can betray a faithful heart. Sometimes they can burn us alive. I have to tell you, after I finished reading Sharon Ervin's story; I had to take a cold shower. Peggy Fielding wrote about Rhett Prideaux, the philandering husband of our heroine, Lori. How dare he cheat on our sweet Lori? But revenge is sweet, and handsome. In walks the handy man from Heaven and I fell for him, just like Lori did. Oh, who needed crusty ol' Rhett when she could have tall, wide-shouldered, look good enough to eat Joe Casey? Jackie King wrote about Katy Cole, who fell in love with Garry Ray and what she believed to be a forever marriage. But her lousy, no-good, bum of a cheating husband took her along the first two times he had a date with his girlfriend. Revenge came in the form of tall, muscular, looked great in stone-washed jeans, Luke Wallace, a structural engineer I wouldn't mind checking my foundation. Paula Watkins tells a well-written story about two women who are supposed to be friends, each sharing her own view of the relationship and how she truly feels about the other one. Bertha is a true friend that loves Pandie dearly. Pandie is the kind of "friend" you only wish on your worst enemy. This story has a bite to it. It gnashes its teeth, grabs you and won't release you until its chewed on your heart. Do yourself a favor; give yourself the gift of this book. No matter what age you are, you'll feel like a Foxy Hen, too!

This review is from: Chik Lit for Foxy Hens (Paperback)
A charming reminder that love and adventure are every bit as exciting for those who have a bit more life experience. The drama of youth only heightens our appreciation. These stories make you laugh and give you hope -- no matter what your age.
5.0 out of 5 stars
romance and fun for women of a certain age!,

This review is from: Chik Lit for Foxy Hens (Paperback)
With stories of loves-lost and found, less-than-best friends and men doing what men do best you'll find enough spice and substance to make you laugh out loud and find hope in the challenges of life in the real world. Readers will agree with the authors: "Fifty never looked so good!"
Sharon Ervin has published a list of novels, articles and short stories as long as the ruggedly muscled arm of her cowboy hero in "Rose." Peggy Fielding, a well-known writing instructor in Oklahoma and popular speaker at national writers' conferences, shows her own quick wit in her novella "Giving up Panty Hose." Peggy's heroine shows her philandering husband Rhett the front door while a handyman comes in the back! Jackie King has published a number of short stories about women and women's problems. Her novella, "Flirting at Fifty," will find you wishing for a leak in your roof so you can practice your flirting skills with the handsome handyman. Paula Jean Watkins, Tulsa County Public Defender, has written a story titled "Second Best" which reminded me of the old saying: "with friends like that who needs enemies?" A book with just the right combination of romance, laughter and real-life adventure.
