Synopsis

Five friends share life and laughter and love…until unexpected temptation changes everything
The Book Babes reading group began as five women wanting to talk books—but now they've become family. There's romance author Ava Sinclair, organizer and backbone; happily-married mother of five Ellie Preston, the heart of the group; elegant art gallery owner Sylvie Everett; single mom and sociology professor Luisa Martinez; and ambitious attorney Laken Foster, the wild child of the bunch. For several years now, they've met monthly and discussed the current book a little--and dissected their lives and loves far more often.

But now change is rippling through the group, begun by Laken's restlessness with her freewheeling life of serial hookups and sent into hyperdrive by Ava's suddenly-hot career, while Luisa's abusive ex tries to reclaim their teenage son and Sylvie faces her mother's decline. But it's when Ellie takes her first step into life after her children fly the nest and falls under the spell of the sexy artist who's teaching her to paint that the group's orbit begins to wobble on its axis, and life--for all of them and the men they love--will never be the same.
And then there's the surprise Sweetgrass Springs connection…

I found The Book Babes very confusing at times. I found all the women Luisa, Sylvie, Ellie, Ava and Laken all selfish in one or another. Some was understandable, some I did not understand. My favorite character out of the bunch was Laken she makes no bones about who she is. Ellie and Ava frustrated......more

One of Jean Brashear's best I've read so far. It started with a book club and they became a band of sisters who stood by each other and always, always tried to do their best for their loves, families and their dear, dear friends. There for each other whether times were easy or fraught with confusion......more

Goodreads review by Beverly on May 06, 2024

The Book Babes I liked this book, but not as good as the others in this series, because there was so much pain. I realize nobody is perfect, and marriages aren't either, but I was worried for awhile that there wouldn't be a happily ever after.......more
