Since opening up their day spa, The Haven, the wonderful women of the Hot Flash Club have been busy indulging the beleaguered, nerve-frazzled throngs. Now, in Nancy Thayer’s hilarious new Hot Flash novel, it’s the friends’ turn to grab some soothing, and much-deserved R&R. When a long-time Haven client asks the gals to housesit her Nantucket hideaway for the summer, they’re beyond thrilled; the cozy island enclave is the perfect place to shop, swim, chill, and plan Marilyn’s upcoming wedding to Ian, her Scottish fiancé. And Marilyn desperately needs the break, since Ian’s grown son has crashed at the couple’s place with no departure date in sight. Soon after they arrive, the other hot flashers surrender to their own summer flings: Shirley entertains a steamy dalliance with a scruffy, sexy local fisherman that could lead to something deeper; Faye finds her dream house, but restoring it could be a costly nightmare; craft-maven Polly is enthralled by the island’s bounty, from shell art to lightship baskets; and even hardboiled Alice swoons with romantic adventure–or is it seasickness? But this lovefest among the sand and ocean breezes is not without its consequences. Each woman must determine for herself what she is willing to give up in order to hold onto what she has found–and all of them fear that Shirley is on the brink of making a huge mistake, one that threatens their harmony and their business. But these concerns may be eclipsed by the mystery surrounding the disappearance of family heirlooms at the house where they are staying, and rumors that the place harbors spirits other than Grey Goose and Tanqueray. Nancy Thayer continues her hugely successful Hot Flash series with this wickedly funny, delightfully bawdy tale. These irresistible women spring to life–along with their passions, their sorrows, their joys, and, most importantly, their friendship. So pack your bags and join these fabulous five for a season of fun, sun, love, sex, and estrogen therapy.

"Fun read about a group of over 60 friends. If you liked the Golden Girls television show you'll like this. It was fun to listen to on audiobook and it was one of those impulse (I saw it on the library shelves) check outs that I don't regret."

" Opening the book to a middle aged sex narration. Come on are we that pathetic? I moved on... Write something. Very shallow in my opinion. "
— Candice, 2/11/2014" This was the 4th book in the "Hot Flash series" and once again I found myself laughing out loud. Unfortunately I believe this was the final book in this series. I would have loved to see it keep going. "
— Cindy, 1/30/2014" The last book of this series. Sorry it had to end. "
— Shelleen, 1/29/2014" I enjoyed this book as much as all the other Hot Flash Club books. It was not hard to remember all the characters. It was like getting together with old friends. I hope Nancy keeps writting about these amazing ladies. "
— Mary, 1/18/2014" Fun series especially for someone who's a member of hot flashes like me. This one dragged a little and sometimes it felt like the characters were losing soe interest with each other. Does this mean this is the last of the series? "
— tbears, 1/17/2014" basically a scooby doo episode. And disgusting middle age body functions. I probably should have read the original Hot Flash. Been amused and stopped there. Won't pursue this series. "
— Cg, 1/13/2014" This is the last of the four hot flash club books, and I hated to see it end. This one finds the gals spending parts of their summer on Nantucket. The stories of the five main characters are by no means wrapped us, so maybe Ms. Thayer has more in store for us. "
— Jeanne, 1/9/2014" Made me want to go to Nantucket no matter what the season. "
— Diana, 1/4/2014" Ok, I know this seems ridiculous; but I picked the first one up in a bookstore one time, and I really enjoy the friendships these ladies have! cute read "
— Sharon, 12/22/2013" I'm ready for the next adventure of the "hot flash girls"!!! "
— Jane, 12/15/2013" A summer read -- not too much to think about. Just an easy read. "
