Book 1: To Hell in a Coach Bag - A wacky widow, a wild divorcee, a frustrated wife and their mid-life hormonal boss are the "lunch ladies". On a quest to find solace from life's disappointments and recapture their youthful spirit, Dani, Sam, Alex and Max set out on a cross-country road trip.

Book 2: Damned if I Do - Dogged by past heartache, Dani returns to the hotel to win Tucker back. But her hot roadie is nowhere to be found. Picking up a few clues, Dani goes in hot pursuit, but will it be for better or for worse? Sam has pushed her man Kyle away. And when the Canadian hockey referee reappears, he faces an icy reception. Now Sam must decide if she wants to turn her "I don't" into "I do".

Book 3: The Devil You Know - Lunch Ladies Dani, Max, and Alex want to make sure wedding bells ring for pal Samantha and her fiancé, Kyle, even if it requires a showdown with Sam's ex and a case of Ding Dongs to avert disaster. But first, they need to find the bride! Meanwhile newlyweds Dani and Tucker face the joys and struggles of a growing blended-family as Tucker's teenaged daughter, Zoe, who is enamored with the boy next door, enacts a plan that puts her in a risky situation.

Ratings and reviews

Having previously read and reviewed all three of these books, I am so glad that they have come out in one happy, laugh-filled volume. To Hell in a Coach Bag: I really enjoyed the story, which has distant echoes of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I loved the odd friendship between Sam and Dani and their crazy antics, as well as the safety net provided by Maxine and Alexis. All four women are handling their own heartache as best they can, but Dani is the most vulnerable of them all. The road trip to Denver to attend the funeral of Dani’s father is something of a catalyst for each of the women. Kyle and Tucker enter the story as secondary characters, but I would really have liked to know that there was some hope for them in the future. Damned If I Do: The Lunch Ladies continue to stand together and Dani and Sam in particular continue their wacky, music infused friendship. As a widow Dani is getting ready to move on and consider a new relationship, but still has feelings of guilt regarding her marriage vows. By becoming involved with Tucker, it means melding two families together with the resulting complications. Sam on the other hand is fighting her attraction to Kyle because she refuses to commit herself to another man who may cheat on her the way her ex did. His introduction to her children is less than stellar, but due to an unforeseen accident, Kyle gets closer to her family than she anticipated. I loved all the characters in this book, including the children and the two romances between Dani and Tucker, as well as Sam and Kyle are heart-warming with both moments of hilarity as well as sadness. The Devil You Know: I enjoyed catching up with the ladies, in particular, Dani and Sam with their easy wit and love of music. Dani is married with a baby on the way, and Sam is getting married, however the obstacles in her path threaten to blow the wedding apart. It takes creative thinking to put things together again. Much of this story focuses on Zoe and Zack's developing attraction with all the ups and downs that come with youthful relationships, some of which are potentially very serious. However, the younger son Scott applies his genius, not without causing some concern to his dad. As usual, the wit and humour surrounding this extended patchwork family group are most enjoyable. I particularly laughed at Sam rolling her eyes and - “if arms could be raised sarcastically, she raised them sarcastically.” As with other books in this series, tragedy is mixed in with the humour as the friends find their feet in their new relationships. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

When I finished one, I had to start the next. The story line is captivating and keeps you going from start to finish. I recommend this book for everyone to read...there is also a fourth, fifth and sixth book in the series. I have already finished four and five and can't wait to start the sixth in the series. This book will have you laughing, scared and relieved all at once. The characters are very interesting and lead you down paths you don't expect. M.J. Schiller has become one of my favourite authors.
