In Atlanta, best friends Stacie Long and Tameeka Johnson totally disagree on what they desire in a man. Whereas Stacie has a list of ten items that she has revised several times to improve the attributes of her desire, Tameeka has one requirement. She just wants to meet her soul mate while Stacie assumes she is God's gift to mankind so deserves a wealthy healthy specimen.

Neither have had any success in finding The Hunk. Both attend the Sexy and Sultry New Year's Eve gala unescorted in spite of being beauties. At the event, Stacie meets NBA star Crawford Wallace while Tameeka meets Tyrell Powell. As they continue to see the new men in their lives, the two females wonder if that have found their perfect mate, but both have doubts that their feelings are reciprocated. Their respective hesitations grow especially when Jackson and Mohamed enter their lives.

This is an interesting chick lit tale starring two delightful protagonists though the seemingly ever present lists are included. The storyline follows the two women as they wonder if they have found their respective Mr. Right, but question if they are their lovers' Ms. Right especially when new men enter their lives. Sub-genre fans will get pleasure from these Georgia Peaches as they search for love.
