The third book in the 'Dixie' series begins on the eve of the Millennium, December 31st, 1999, with Kurt Meyer and Kelly Hardy having finally married and enjoying their reception / New Year party at her brother, Doug's, Dale House.Five men are gathered on the terrace; all tall, good-looking, in their forties and with twenty-one children of varying ages in total between them. Kurt's father, Sef Meyer, Doug Hardy, Dave (Sandy) Sanders, Chris Lievers and Andrew (Andy) MacFay are now all firm friends. However, events over the next 24 short but dramatic days test their friendship and the relationships with the women and children in their lives.Sef's wife, Zana, has an escalating alcohol problem but that's nothing compared to the secret she harbours. Doug is due to marry in three weeks but can't forget his last love, Sarah, who is now happily married to Simon Leigh. Sandy soon falls out with his eldest son, David MacFay (Andy's stepson) over a very controversial decision he takes to help Lorna and Will Hardy. Chris has his own personal dilemma but keeps it close to his chest, while Andy's interference in his daughter, Susie's, love-life pushes the door open for a rival to step in.Add into the mix, six men doing 'The Full Monty' at a leaving party, steamy hen and stag-nights and Kelly's debut art exhibition - of naked men - and this book is a delightful concoction of fun, frolics, fears, friendships and, at the heart of everything, families.
