What did the characters learn because of what happened in the story? Which character grew or changed the most? Do any of those lessons apply to your life?
Discuss the men in the book—Steven, Kirk, Miguel, Lucas and Chad. Did each heroine end up with the right man? Why or why not? Which man did you like the most, and why?
What did you think of the relationship between Jen and Lucas? Did you expect something different to happen? Did you like the way this relationship was handled? Why or why not?
Pam’s story began in The Girls of Mischief Bay. Did you read the first Mischief Bay book? If not, do you want to go back and read it now? If some people in your group did read the first book and others did not, discuss how your perception is different.

Miguel’s Steak Fajita Quesadillas

Chips and salsa
Margaritas (of course!)
Recipe Miguel’s Steak Fajita Quesadillas 2 ribeye steaks, sliced 1/4-inch thick, then cut into 1-inch pieces Marinade: Juice of three limes
1/2 cup tequila (too bad you can’t use Saldivar tequila!) 2 tbsp triple sec or other orange-flavored liqueur 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
8 oz Monterrey jack cheese, shredded
8 flour tortillas
Mix together the marinade ingredients, then pour over the steak. Marinate for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally. Drain and discard marinade. Cook beef pieces on the stove in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side. Set aside and wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Lower heat to medium-low. Place a flour tortilla in the pan, sprinkle with cheese. Place one-quarter of the steak pieces on it, then top with more cheese and another tortilla. When the cheese on the bottom has melted, carefully flip over and cook another minute or so. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm.
