Product Description
From Booklist
Following in the footsteps of such compilations as Living Large (2003), a set of four stories about African American women by four authors, Friday Night Chicas presents four novellas about four memorable Friday nights by four up-and-coming Latina authors. Mary Castillo follows an aspiring filmmaker on the Hollywood party scene, where she's seduced by a director. Caridad Pineiro takes readers to Miami's^B South Beach, where a group of gal pals help their best friend celebrate her thirtieth^B birthday. Next stop is Chicago, where Berta Platas portrays a former wallflower who finds that sparks can fly at her high-school reunion. Sofia Quintero's novella is set in New York, where a group of college roommates are reunited for a bachelorette party. All four writers spice up their stories with sexy scenes, but at the core of each story is a strong female bond. The successful, smart, and alluring women will hook readers, and the abbreviated format will have them wanting more. Hopefully, these authors will oblige. Aleksandra Kostovski

Product Description
Whether they're flirting en espanol, gossiping over mojitos, or dancing with their latest papi chulos, these characters prove that there is nothing quite like a night out with your chicas. Set in New York City, Miami's South Beach, downtown Chicago, and L.A., these four flirty novellas explore dating, marriage, friendship, and sex, through the eyes of four different Latina women.
Mary Castillo's Friday Night in L.A.: Isela isn't looking for a one night stand; she's desperate for one last shot at saving her career. Her ticket is Hollywood's director du jour Tyler Banks but one major mistake could cost her everything.
Caridad Pineiro's Friday Night in South Beach: It's Tori's thirtieth birthday and all she wants is a nice quiet night with her family and friends. However, Tori's friends have other plans and during an overnight casino cruise, Tori finds herself taking the gamble of her life!
Berta Platas's Friday Night in Chicago: The once shy Cali has decided to attend her high school reunion. She slips into her slinkiest Donna Karan and puts on her highest Manolos. After all, she's out to seek revenge, Latina-style. . .
Sofia Quintero's Friday Night in New York City: Gladys's friends throw her a bachelorette party at one of NYC's raunchiest male strip joints. They expected a party, but they didn't expect the not-so-blushing bride to disappear with one of the strippers!

Time Well Spent, Mar 20 2006
By S. Cervantes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Friday Night Chicas: Sexy Stories from La Noche (Paperback)
I usually don't have a lot of spare time, so what little spare time I do have is spent wisely. Sad to say but, if a book does not catch my interest within the first 40 or 50 pages....I usually don't ever finish it. When I read this book it had me from cover to cover. It was funny, witty, and down to earth. In most of the stories there were parts that I could relate to. I think that made it all that more humerous. I would probably read this book again in the future. When I finished it I gave it to my bestfriend to read. Needless to say she loved it to.

4 snaps! LOL!, Mar 6 2006
By Jackie "Chinita" Vargas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Friday Night Chicas: Sexy Stories from La Noche (Paperback)
I had to give this book four snaps! I loved it! I was first introduced to this book after reading and falling in love with Hot Tamara by the talented Mary Castillo. One of the writers of Friday night chicas. I did my research on the title as I always do before I purchase any book. I found out that they were 4 stories & 4 writers. More bang for my buck. LOL! I read the excerpt and liked was I saw. I went out and got it, read it and love it! I recommend this book to any one who would like to escape the monotony of the real world and add some spicy latin flava to their life.
Listmania!
