The PMS Club (Avalon Romance) [Hardcover]

Carolyn Brown (Author)

Book Description

Series: Avalon Romance | Publication Date: August 2006

Dixie Nelson arrived in Florida with a mad spell sitting on her shoulders. Her two friends Faith and Jill could flirt with the tanned and gorgeous men on the beaches all they wanted. She wasn't going to do anything but try to get over her anger and enjoy a perfect summer... one with no men allowed in her heart. Not even the good looking T-shirt painter who employed her right after he accused her of shop lifting.

Boone Callahan spent all his summers in Florida, painting and selling T-shirts to the tourists. How was he supposed to know the woman running out of his shop with three tee shirts tucked under her arm wasn't trying to steal them? Or that when he hired her as part-time help she would wind up stealing his heart?

Dixie and her friends, all school teachers from Arkansas, have endured wars and rumors of wars, true PMS, men problems, school problems, and shared the joys and sorrows of life for five years. Nothing could possibly destroy their friendship. But during the wonderfully hot summer, the very roots of the Sisterhood are shaken. Will it survive? Can Dixie and Boone find a future together? Is "happily ever after" a myth or does it really happen?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Dixie, Faith, and Jill are 35-year-old best friends and teachers in the Greenbrier, Arkansas, school system with a plan for the summer: no men. In exchange for companionship at his charity functions, Faith's uncle has lent them his Florida beach house, but during their first week there Dixie is accused of shoplifting by a store owner who then hires her as part-time clerk, Faith hooks up with a much younger man who spends his days surfing, and Jill comes home from the bachelor auction with stars in her eyes, full of details about her very own dreamboat. It looks like the no-man plan needs some revision. Brown's latest chaste contemporary takes cues from two movies: Steel Magnolias and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. With the three women identifying themselves alternately with characters from each film, readers who haven't viewed them may find the references meaningless, but overall this is a pleasantly light and breezy read.
