Product Description
Product Description
White-collar baby-boomers, Cathy and Paul, are living in a state of hostility since his recent retirement, that they are unequipped and afraid to address.
Cathy's best friend, Pam, has booted out her cheating husband, Donny. The timing is perfect for a girls-only trip - on motorcycles for six weeks or forever. They are loading up saddlebags under the forlorn gaze of Paul when Donny, makes an unwelcome appearance.
In flashback, Cathy struggles to learn to ride a motorcycle and then inspires other ladies to take up the non-traditional sport. Their early adventures include a frightening encounter with black bears and a motorcycle spill high on a busy bridge.
Enroute to Branson, Missouri, the women stop to see Cathy's only sister, Coral, who has survived a partial mastectomy and long-standing guilt over their dad's suicide.
Pam falls for a gentle cowboy while Cathy encounters her handsome former motorcycle coach, Bruce, and eschews the inevitable guilt for fleeting ecstasy.
A chance meeting with a colorful character, Marva, thwarts a horrifying assault by two psycho-stalkers. Badly beaten, Cathy turns to her husband and considers returning home.
In ethereal Sedona, Cathy realizes that she has been unconsciously withholding her heart from Paul. She'd like to start again and trust new feelings. Pam concedes that she will always love Donny but doubts she can live with him.
As the husbands ride south to meet the women, Paul acknowledges his fear of failing retirement and his share of blame for the separation. Donny tries to explain his struggle with monogamy. They arrive to overhear Cathy and Pam plotting seductions. Hope surges in their hearts. Cathy's new 'black' persona emerges in a surprising bedroom finale.

Coming of Age,
By WG Eggleton, Author of Murder Makes Mischief ... (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chrome and Black Lace (Paperback)
In Vicki Bissillion's well-written debut novel, she shows us that "coming of age" can happen at any age. Incredibly detailed, CHROME AND BLACK LACE puts the reader right in the saddle, the motorcycle saddle - feeling and seeing everything the main characters do. It's a story that moves along well to a satisfying ending.

chrome and black lace,
By Vic 'Preacher' Shurtz "Author and owner/ Moto... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chrome and Black Lace (Paperback)
Most romance authors run with to much sex and not enough book. Vicki has come through with a complete book. Her charactor introduction mixes well as she weaves her story into the body of the book, and, the story ends as it should. Although this is Vicki's first novel, her literary talents show.
This book depicts two woman, fed up with same ole stuff, going on a road trip to get back in touch with themselfs. They both find that something or someone special can not only inprove their lives, but it can also show them the path of least resistance. Somethings change and somethings never do. They come home changed women. This is a great book that will have you wanting to read it until your finished. Great Job!!!
