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!

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.

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.

This book totally reinforces the idea that women over fifty are still vibrant, sexy and ready to embrace life and romance.

Peggy Fielding touches us with her feisty heroine whose fearless dive into a new life nets her romance and more in Giving Up Pantyhose.

Sharon Ervin gives us a poignant tale of a woman whose inevitable loss of her husband is complicated by the intrusion of a man determined to make her his. Rose is a wonderful story, guaranteed for laughter and tears.

Jackie King regales us with a fast paced story of an older woman learning to flirt for the first time in her life. A great story, Flirting at Fifty is guaranteed to entertain.

Paula Watkins takes us on a journey of courage and miracles in Second Best, a story that will move your heart. Proving that true love overcomes all obstacles--even death.

Definitely a keeper! It's on my crème de la crème shelf.

The "middle aged plus" characters in Chik Lit for Foxy Hens are alive with humor, wit and -- yes -- desire!
What fun for those of us who no longer make the bag boys ogle. The Foxy Hens prove there's more to a vibrant woman than meets the eye, and shows the lonely hearts among us there are some pretty sexy "over the hill" guys out there too. A fun read.

Wow! What a gift! Not only four wonderful stories, but a great all-purpose gift for boomer men to give boomer women (and others). All four authors write from the heart with verve and good humor. Each story reminds us of imporant lessons (even those of us who don't have pantyhose to give up). It's good reading. Give it a try.

A great read! These stories will have you laughing and crying as you get caught up in the life experiences shared by these authors. Moving and amusing best describe their adventures.

These zany recollections will have you laughing and crying at the same time. The authors put a light-hearted spin on their life experiences and getting older. Upbeat! Optimistic! Great read!
