In this third installment in Blackston’s Flabbergasted trilogy, Jay, the former-stockbroker-turned-missionary, travels to Australia for an exotic vacation. Accompanying him is his girlfriend, Allie Kyle, his best friend, Steve Cole, and Allie's lime-green-loving soul sister, Darcy Yeager.Jay is only a day into his romantic trip ‘down under’ when he makes an unpleasant discovery: Steve had the same plan for this vacation, and packed an engagement ring to present to his own sweetheart during the trip. So who proposes second and looks like a copycat? Not to be deterred, Jay and Steve come up with a plan. They will trek in different directions with their beloveds, without raising the girls' suspicions. Each man will have a limited time to carry out his plan, and the couples will rendezvous later at a predetermined location. All goes well until Jay and Allie find themselves stranded in the outback with little food or water, a jeep the color of the red dirt that surrounds them, and no way to let anyone know where they are.

"I thought the book was a lot of fun. It helps if you've read the previous two so you have a bit more of an emotional attachment to the charaters. With out the attachment the book can seem a bit dry sometimes (no pun intended) but still a good read. :-)"
— Rivkah. (4 out of 5 stars)
" The last book in the Flabbergasted trilogy. It was sorely not as good as the first two. It included several cliches that the author obviously avoided in the first book. I was disappointed, but it did resolve a few cliffhangers cutely. "
— Karen, 11/24/2013" This was a fun airplane read. However, the ending was disappointingly predictable, especially after reading the two books that preceed this one. "
