From Booklist
When Londoners Katie and Michael meet in New York, it's love at first sight. Michael's ex-girlfriend, Sally, isn't worried. Michael frequently jumps from woman to woman, and his relationships never seem to last for very long. But Sally's best friend, Jude, knows that Sally is still carrying a torch for Michael and schemes to get them back together. Her handsome coworker, Paul, figures in Jude's plan: he is obviously interested in Sally, and his attentions to her might inspire Michael to dump Katie. Jude herself is dating Scott, who seems to be more involved with his job than he is with her. But when the group comes together to celebrate Katie's birthday, a bit of unexpected news throws a big monkey wrench into Jude's plans, with major repercussions for the whole group. Henderson's latest is a delightful romantic comedy with several unexpected twists and turns. In a genre that can be formulaic, it's particularly refreshing to find a romance in which the reader can't predict the outcome by the second chapter.

Michael's a notorious womanizer -- he broke it off with Sally years ago -- and the girls have gotten used to his endless parade of brunettes.

So what will his reaction be when they try to break free? Don't even think about it!
