Publisher Description
The intrepid women of The Hot Flash Club are back for the holidays, soothing jingled nerves and stressed shoppers in their exclusive spa and celebrating the joys of the season. In her witty and delightfully wisecracking prose, Nancy Thayer tells a heartwarming tale packed with fun, secrets, romance–and an ample dose of good cheer. When the Hot Flash friends gather at the spa to trim the Christmas tree, they share steaming mugs of hot chocolate, a few laughs, and a vow to make this holiday one to remember. And it is–but not in the cheerful, ho-ho-ho way they expected. Instead, Christmas brings family conflicts, household accidents, plane delays–and that’s just the beginning. After a hazardous holiday season, the women make resolutions that they intend to keep . . . in a perfect world. But life–and their friends and relatives–cause complications. Shirley lends financial support to her boyfriend’s schemes, which infuriates Alice, whose own son commits an act she’s not sure she can accept. Marilyn travels to Scotland and falls in love, but her octogenarian mother needs her at home. And when Polly and Faye find themselves pitted against each other by a younger woman, an they overcome this clash to make a new, entrepreneurial dream come true? Then real disaster strikes, bringing new challenges and surprising revelations. Just as every month of the year throws new problems at us all, so too does the end of the year give us the chance to reunite and put these problems into their proper perspective. And when the Hot Flash Five get together for the holidays, we should expect nothing less than the unexpected.

" You really need to start from the first book to know who's who & what's what with the Hot Flash Club. It was not the best of the bunch but still fun with some good observations on life, the universe & everything from the perspective of women of a certain age. Wish I had a group of friends like this. "

" Great for light reading. A different format from the earlier two books. Maybe a little formulaic and really, who rips all of their clothes off when enduring a hot flash? "
— June, 2/10/2012 -

— Shelleen, 5/2/2011 -
" Okay, I think I have had enough of these ladies. Not that I do not like them, but too much of a good thing is still too much. This was entertaining and each chapter was a different holiday during a one-year period. "
— JoAnn/QuAppelle, 2/26/2011 -
" Is it possible for one author to write five books and keep them fresh. This series is amusing but not inspiring. "

" A year in the life of five diverse female friends who's only common denominator seems to be their age. If there are problems, the Hot Flash ladies have them...you can only read to find out if the issues are resolved...or not. "
