A blizzard has cut off public transport and the only way they can all get home is via the 'santa bus' - a charity thing run by a bunch of crazy seniors.
The men, a blue angel pilot (like the UK red devils), a bounty hunter and an ex-football player (now retired through injury), are thrown together with 3 cute women and bunch of mad oldies.
Full of great one-liners with terrific comic timing.
The book is NOT as you might think three short stories but a full length novel with each of the three men being written by one of the authors in alternating chapters. I know this sounds strange but it works wonderfully.
I recommend it a lot - good sex, great fun, terrific dialogue, and the oldies including a cyber granny are all hysterical .
In comes Sam's best friend, also on his way to Maine and also stranded at a train station in Allentown, PA. Trish Jensen's characters Kevin Wilder, a bounty hunter for the NYPD, runs literally right into his quarry, a woman named Callie Brandt, a woman wanted by the law for running out on her court date. But she isn't what she seems. Kevin, now trying to find a way out of Allentown, hops on the Santa Brigade with Sam's help and Callie cuffed to his wrist. Sparks soon fly when Kevin realizes that Callie is no criminal but her body should be outlawed!
Last, but not least is Kate Holmes's characters, an ex-football quarterback for the SanDiego Typoons named Stan Kijewski who finds himself stuck in a snowbank in the middle of nowhwere Vermont when he spots a lone cottage in the distance. Not wanting to freeze before he makes it to Maine for the wedding, Stan decides to try and walk to the place. He is dumbfounded when he finds the place is run by the forest ranger Dana Freeman that he was supposed to pick up along the way for his mentor and friend in Maine. He discovers that Dana is no rough woman he thought she'd be and is fastly becoming tempted by her cool attitude and very womanly curves under the heavy sweater she wears. After realizing they are stuck, Stan calls his best friend Sam and they too are picked up along the way with the Senior Santa Brigade!
A bus full of wacky and nosey seniors, the trio of friends and trio of women soon learn that getting to Snowdon is going to have to be a group effort! Amid storms, strandings in lodges, snowbanks that can't be moved,(but with the wily ways of the bus's driver, a NASCAR driver from tears past and a list of old boyfriends that owe her favors, anything can happen) charity stops along the way, two 'Dr. Ruth' wannabes, Mr. Senior-Studmuffin, A Retired Marine Drill Instructor, Cyber Granny, and the rest of the wacky bunch, love blooms between the three couples. Although there wasn't nearly enough room for real in-depth introspection into each couple's thoughts and feelings, the story was well worth the read and extremely funny and touching. If only I could've been on that bus...Stan, watch out hahahaha
