The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again

About the book

The amazing women of The Hot Flash Club are once again in full swing, welcoming those in need of relaxation and pampering into their luxurious spa-as Nancy Thayer brings us a charming, sensual, and heartwarming new novel. The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again introduces four new ladies, all seeking massages and beauty treatments, each grappling with their hidden desires, greatest fears, and deepest emotions as their lives are turned upside down by unexpected events.

After nearly two decades of trying to make amends with her husband's cold mother, Polly is determined to become the perfect mother-in-law: kind, accepting, and committed to staying quiet. However, when her son marries Amy, an eco-conscious woman from a slightly eerie organic farm, Polly's best intentions seem to backfire in the most embarrassing way.

Beth, a shy and intelligent aspiring professor, has led a sheltered life until she meets Sonny, a rugged, charming carpenter who sweeps her off her feet. The only problem is Beth may not be able to handle his loud, warm, sports-loving family-especially with the gorgeous woman they all wanted Sonny to marry still lingering at family gatherings.

As the heiress to a prestigious paper company, Carolyn is the mastermind behind the business. Now pregnant at thirty-seven, the workaholic executive is forced to relax due to high blood pressure. But how can she let her guard down when her septuagenarian father has suddenly eloped with a young bank clerk named Heather, who, despite her plain appearance and unassuming demeanor, fills Carolyn with suspicion.

Julia, a free-spirited photographer, has married a man she adores, but he comes with baggage. Tim is a widower with a young daughter, and Julia has bravely taken on the role of stepmother. Yet dealing with the child's manipulative behavior and Tim's meddlesome ex-mother-in-law proves to be a challenge.

For Polly, Beth, Carolyn, and Julia, the time has come to assert themselves and fight for what truly matters-their desires, their emotions, and their identity. As they navigate family drama and embrace unexpected changes, they discover that life is much more enjoyable when you have friends, wine, and chocolate by your side.
