I've finished "A Summer in Sonoma" by Robyn Carr.
Product Description
They've been best friends since seventh grade. But this summer, teetering on the threshold of thirty, four women are going to need each other more than ever.
Cassie has sworn off romance after yet another bad date. Yet deep down, she's still looking for Mr. Forever. A long-haired biker doesn't figure into her plans, so where's the harm in touring the back roads of Sonoma on a Harley with Walt Arneson?
Julie married her high school sweetheart — who can get her pregnant with a mere glance — too young and now wonders how her life became all about leaky faucets and checkbook balances. Maybe love isn't enough to sustain the hottest couple in town.
Marty's firefighter husband has forgotten all about romance, and an old flame begins to look mighty tempting.
Beth, a busy doctor trapped in a body that's betrayed her yet again, is becoming a difficult patient and a secretive friend.

My Review:
I'm a huge fan of Robyn's Virgin River series so I thought I would try one of her contemporary romances and I'm glad I did!
This book is about four best friends who are the verge of 30 where two are married and the other two aren't.
Cassie is an emergency room nurse with a penchant for picking the wrong guys. Her latest date turns into a disaster bordering on date rape, when an unlikely hero comes to her recue - Walt, a tattooed biker with a taste for the finer things. She's very hesistant to get involved with Walt because she doesn't think it's appropriate (he's a biker and his job isn't high paying, etc.) Wait until she finds out his real job is!
Julie can just get pregnant by her husband Billy by a mere look! She's a stay home mom who takes care of the bills (she's hardly keeping up with them - sometimes she doesn't pay certain ones each month just to have food on the table) and her three children. Billy works two jobs one as a firefighter and the other as a construction worker) so all he can do is come home, eat and then go to bed! Julie finds out she is pregnant again and she's having a breakdown! A tragedy occurs and that wakes up Billy to what's happening to the bills, etc.
Marty and Joe have lost the romance in their marriage. She yells at him to clean up his mess, take a shower, shave, etc. He thinks the yard work is the man's territory while the household is the woman's territory so everytime Marty yells at him he works harder on the outside work.
She's very tempted by her ex boyfriend Ryan who cheated on her years ago. He's says he's broken up with his fiancee and says he misses Marty and how he could have given up what they had!
Beth is a workaholic OB/GYN and cancer survivor who gets some bad news. She finds out she has breast cancer and doesn't want any of her friends to know. Cassie finds out by accident when one of her co-workers asks her how her friend is recuperating. She finds love with another doctor who understands and knows what she is going through.
4/5
