Friday Night Fever — Andrene Low

Samantha's life is perfect, until the day her boss hits on her and she finds out her boyfriend's a cheating & #$@. It's not something she's going to take lying down, even if her deliciously wicked revenge has her fleeing New Zealand for Australia. Not that Melbourne proves to be a safe haven either. Embracing the single life with behaviour her mum wouldn't approve of, Sam runs into a macho Italian with a penchant for garlic, an appendage he's named after a popular luncheon meat and a nasty habit of stalking. Thank goodness friends Jennie and Brenda are there to help her teach him what happens to guys who treat women badly. After this, that 'salami' of his is only good for slapping between a couple of slabs of white bread. Add to this a burgeoning career designing clothes for pampered pooches and being framed for a crime she didn't commit; and Sam's got her hands full. Almost too full to decide if Chris, a local Melbourne guy, might just be her 'Mr Right' after all those Mr Wrongs. Will Sam make up her mind about Chris in time, or end up actually doing time? It's going to be a close-run thing. Friday Night Fever is the first in Andrene's Sexy Seventies Series and is a riotous mix of comedy, romance, sex and violence. Think mash up between 'Sex in the City' and 'That 70s Show' and you're halfway there. Originally published as "This Girl's Abroad"
