Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey revisits the scene of his sexy holiday romp Naughty or Nice, as the McBroom sisters’ romantic adventures make for a white (hot) Christmas.
The lives of Frankie, Tommie, and Livvy McBroom haven't turned out quite as planned.
Frankie has a pair of stalkers, and she calls upon Driver, an ex-con, to bail her out of a potentially life-threatening situation...
Tommie and her long-time love Blue are now engaged, but due to something her more-mature fiancé has done, the wedding is indefinitely on hold, and Tommie has found herself captivated by to a younger man...
Livvy is unable to overcome the psychological barrier caused by her husband Tony’s affair. Their rare relations are by her rules and under certain conditions—it has to be a ménage à trois...
Though as close as any sisters could be, none wants the other two to know the dark secrets she is hiding. And during this season, all of the McBroom sisters are Naughtier than Nice.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dickey's excellent second novel of the McBroom sisters (after 2003's Naughty or Nice) spans a year from one Christmas to the next, delivering family drama, romantic angst, and sexual gymnastics by the boatload. When eldest sister Frankie McBroom is betrayed in love, her sisters, Livvy and Tommie, come immediately to her defense. But soon the rest of the McBrooms are struggling to conceal the flaws in their own relationships, and their secrets and lies endanger them all. Everyone in the book seems simultaneously focused on love, honesty, chaos, and self-destruction. Dickey has deft control of each voice, and the Los Angeles backdrop is so well drawn that it becomes a character in its own right. The resolution is messy, terrifying, and satisfying all at once, with fresh blooms of hope for all concerned.
