"three fun romances"
"Prologue". In Charleston best friends Catherine Maderis,
Kallie Bradshaw, and Gina McCutheon are all twenty-nine
and single so they vow to make love with their fantasy
lover before their next birthday. "Still Waters". Museum archivist Catherine has never
tasted love. Extremely shy she goes after her secret
fantasy, business mogul Phillip Trent, who makes her
dreams sexual thoughts. Catherine invites him to be her
escort to the museum's Midsummer Night's Masked Ball. "Skin Deep". Artist Kallie feels good that Catherine is
engaged, but five months have passed since the pact and
she still has not told Beau Donovan how she feels about
him. She knows he thinks of her as his best buddy. Beau
must let Kallie know he finds her very attractive. He
pays their friends to not join them as they usually do
when they go to watch the Savannah Sand Gnats play
baseball. "Party Girl". It has been nine months since the pact has
been made and Gina has no one so she agrees to go on a
cruise and find someone to have sex with. Also on board
is family friend banker Thomas "Trey" Lipman III who six
years ago rejected her advances when he ripped her for
being a party girl. He tells her he is proud of her
charity work that he has followed; she in turn thanks him
for showing his contempt six years ago making her wanting
to change. He apologizes as he says he wanted her then
and wants her now. "Epilogue". The three friends thank one another for
pushing them to go after their fantasy man. The three tales are fun as each of the couples is likable
and the interactivity of the three novellas through the
female friends adds to the understanding of their
personalities. Though there is limited conflict, readers
will enjoy these women pursuing their fantasy. Harriet Klausner

SummaryIt begins with a toast among three beautiful best
friends—Catherine, who's used to putting business
before pleasure; Kallie, who's in need of a casual lover;
and Gina, a former party girl who's given up on romance.
Their pact is to make their naughtiest fantasies come true
before their thirtieth birthdays. They have one year to make
it happen—and no position is too compromising. All it's
going to take is finding the right man, capturing the
perfect moment, and stirring up enough courage to issue the
most provocative invitation of the year. The race is on.
Who's going to cross the line first?
