Louise Jernigan and Patsy Leslie became best friends when they were ten years old. Over the next four and a half decades they have been there for one another for the good times and the bad, especially when each lost their spouse. Cementing their relationship was when their children Josh and Diana married, and soon both will joyfully become grandmothers.

However, in spite of being close to each other, both miss having a man in their life. However, no prospects are in sight until now. A hunk has just moved into town, with Louise and Patsy determined to make him hers. Will a battle over a man end forty five years of friendship, or will the two females cool off their libidos before they go too far?

Making a case that people in their fifties have needs, Peggy Webb provides a delightful amusing look at friendship that has survived everything for over forty-five years, but now teeters due to loose libidos. Readers will enjoy the rotating perspectives of the same event seen differently by the mother in-laws. When a man enters the mix, havoc (and fun for readers) becomes the norm, as the audience wonders whether the friendship will survive a male intrusion.
