The ladies of The Hot Flash Club are back and better than ever, opening the doors of their exclusive spa to all those in need of a little R&R. Nancy Thayer brings her signature wit, sexiness, and heartwarming charm to this delightful audiobook, expertly narrated by the talented Carrington MacDuffie.
But that's not all - The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again introduces us to four new women who are ready to take on the world, one massage and seaweed wrap at a time. Each of these women is facing her own struggles, trying to balance her secret dreams, deepest fears, and complicated emotions as their lives are turned upside down.
Polly, after years of trying to make amends with her husband's icy mother, has made a vow to be the perfect mother-in-law. She will be loving, accepting, and keep her opinions to herself. However, when her son marries Amy, a woman with an eerily serene family and an organic farm, Polly's optimism is tested. Why is it that her best intentions always seem to end up in her mouth?
Beth, a shy and brilliant aspiring professor, finally finds love in the charming and rugged carpenter, Sonny. But surviving Sonny's loud and affectionate family may be more than she can handle, especially when their preferred daughter-in-law, the beautiful and earthy woman from Sonny's past, is still lingering around.
Carolyn, heiress to a prestigious paper company, is a workaholic executive who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at thirty-seven. Forced to relax due to high blood pressure, Carolyn struggles to let her guard down, especially when her elderly father elopes with a young bank clerk named Heather, leaving Carolyn feeling suspicious despite Heather's unassuming nature.
Julia, a free-spirited photographer, has married the man of her dreams, but it comes with a package - Tim is a widower with a young daughter. Julia does her best to provide maternal support, but dealing with the child's manipulative behavior and Tim's meddlesome ex-mother-in-law becomes increasingly challenging.
But our fierce ladies Polly, Beth, Carolyn, and Julia are ready to take a stand for their passions, their hearts, and most importantly, themselves. As they navigate through family drama and embrace the unexpected changes in their lives, they come to realize that with friends, wine, and chocolate by their side, life can be so much easier - and a whole lot more fun.
