GIVEAWAY: The Whole Package by Cynthia Ellingsen

Life has thrown childhood friends Jackie, Cheryl, and Doris a few curveballs. Widowed and broke, Jackie returns home from an extravagant life in Paris, Doris is reliant on anti-depressants, and Cheryl’s plans for a corporate take-over are replaced with walking papers. But after a drunken night sampling the delights at strip club for women, the ladies stumble upon a genius idea and decide to open up The Whole Package—the world’s first restaurant staffed exclusively by very attractive men. Armed with Jackie’s connections, Doris’ ambition, and Cheryl’s business sense, the ladies set out to make their mark in the world.

With THE WHOLE PACKAGE, Ellingsen effortlessly depicts the many dynamics of friendship and the resilient bond of women and friends who manage to work through hardship and have an outrageous amount of fun.

I have one print copy of The Whole Package by Cynthia Ellingsen for giveaway! To enter, please leave a comment below. The winner will be chosen on Friday, August 5th. Please note this is open to US/Canada residents only. Thank you to Erin with The Penguin Group for sponsoring this giveaway!

    Wow. This actually sounds like a good idea for a place. I know lots of women who would want to come to an all guy staffed restaurant! Preferably with a shirtless code. haha

    Sign me up please. =)

    Since I’m a widow with a traveling quartet of other widows (my daughter calls them “The Ladies”), I’m already imagining the twists and turns this plot might take–both heartwarming and humorous. I’m eager to read it. Inspiration for a new blog, perhaps.
