Every now and then I see a book and think - damn, I have to put that on a list and remember to scoop it up. I had one of those moments while looking through the New Releases section on the Kensington website (and, yes, I was checking to see if my August release Viva Las Bad Boys! was up there yet and, no, it isn’t).

This one is Friday Night Cocktails by Allison Rushby. It’s an August 2006 Strapless release. Like the cover. Like the cover copy. Here it is:

Two best friends, one killer hangover, and a whole world of badly behaved men. Let the games begin…
Gemma Barton, here—single girl and website creator. Okay, so I’m not here to decry all men as commitment-phobes and complete dogs, but you know, sometimes they are. After one more date with Mr. Oh-I-Didn’t-Tell-You-I-Was-Already-Engaged and a round of giant margaritas, my friend Sarah and I decided to make “the list”: a chronicle of all the guys who’ve ever lied, cheated, or tried to have a threesome with your best friend.

Well, our little revenge website seemed like a brilliant idea at the time—and soon disgruntled women all over the world were chiming in. It was great. Suddenly Sarah and I were stars, I had a male personal assistant, and all was right with the world. Or so I thought, until big trouble started brewing on my computer. There’s someone out there in cyberspace who’s just made me see the error of my ways. Maybe the male of the species aren’t out to get me after all. Could it be time to stop listening to my inner rage queen and start listening to my heart…?

Here’s the cover:

Actually, it looks as if this came out for the first time in 2004 with this cover:

I prefer the new cover.
