Bunco Babes Gone Wild
Romance gets a little dicey in the sassy, sizzling second novel by the author of Bunco Babes Tell All. Georgia Meyer needs some time to think?and what better place to get her head on straight than Whispering Bay, Florida, in the company of her sister Frida and her sister?s Bunco-playing friends, aka the Bunco Babes? Georgia?s boyfriend?and boss?Spencer Moody made a slight miscalculation in the romance department and gave her a calculator instead of an engagement ring. So she needs some sisterly advice, in between rolling dice and drinking frozen margaritas, as to her next move. While considering subtracting Spencer from her life, Georgia meets the very handsome Dave Hernandez. Unfortunately when a Bunco night gets a little out of hand, Georgia reveals more of herself to Dave than she intended. Now, as she helps the Babes prepare for a Bunco Black Tie fundraiser, she needs to search her heart?and keep her shirt on?long enough to decide if a love affair with Dave might be a dream come true.

Woo-hoo! Just learned I won this book in the drawing - can't wait to get it and read it!!
Review:
When I received the book I realized there was a first book and I like things in order, so I had to read it first (It being Bunco Babes Tell All). Which I think you really should read it first just to get a little bit of history of the Bunco Babes of Whispering Bay, Florida.
This story is about Georgia, who is the sister of Frida (one of the members of the Bunco Babes). She comes for an unexpected visit after her boyfriend of five years gives her a calculator for their anniversary. During her visit, she meets Dave who is nothing like what she thinks she needs in a partner.
Georgia was hard person for me to like. She was so set in her ways about things that it grated on my nerves a bit. She eventually lets her hair down (and few other things) and realizes life isn't always meant to be scheduled and once again, things aren't as they seem. She learns about friendship (something she never really had before) and she also realizes what's important in life.
Still a very good book and a great 2nd book for this new author! Can't wait to read more by her.

Geraci has done it again! This book was fun and lighthearted from start to finish--truly a joy to read, especially in the midst of a chilly winter! The author has created such a warm, likable community in this book (as she also did in her debut novel, Bunco Babes Tell All), that by the end of the story, the reader feels she knows not only the lead characters, Georgia and Dave, but an entire town of humorous and delightfully quirky people. Present in the book are themes that touch on the strength of family bonds, the durable nature of true friendship, the balance between responsible adulthood and the pursuit of a passion...in addition to lots of funny dialogue and some hot romance in steamy Florida. I didn't want to leave the characters and the setting when the book was done. I was thoroughly entertained!!

Sometimes I run across a book that I enjoy so much that I can't help but wish the characters would invite me over to play sometime. That was exactly how I felt after reading Bunco Babes Tell All by the very talented Maria Geraci! In fact, I've wanted to crash her Bunco night and beg her to be my friend – since I only live a few hours away I've really had to restrain myself!
This book gave me the same sense of longing for a group of strong female friends as Sex and the City had. These women are not only believable, but you'll want them as your closest pals. They'll be your support network and the ones making you laugh out loud. They come to life as you turn the page, and I felt deeply connected to them. It takes a great writer to pull the reader in so deeply and I can't wait to read the next books in Maria's Bunco Babes series.
The story of Kitty and Steve was delightful to read and I loved them as characters. Each is interesting in their own right which makes the payoff when they come together even better! From the first meeting that includes bathroom humor, mistaken identity AND a male stripper, to the obstacles they overcome, I was under their spell. This book's characters had me thinking about them days after having finished the book and I'll be happily following their relationship in the coming Bunco Babes books.
This book is a fun, sassy, laugh out loud read that will leave you looking for your own Bunco Babes group, and counting the days til the release of the next book in the series! (Hint – It's soon!) I finished this book weeks ago, and I've been itching to pick it back up for a re-read for the past few days! I really loved it and know my copy will be worn and dogeared before the end of the year!

Another great read by Maria Geraci! I read Bunco Babes Tell All first, but it's not necessary to read them in order. This is a different story with a different main character. The author does a great job telling the reader about each character briefly enough it doesn't bore the reader if you read the first book but with enough detail you know who's who. Such a fun, easy read. Again, very much a relatable story with ups and downs. I absolutely loved the ending!

My thoughts...Maria once again provides a fun, light-hearted romantic comedy for adult readers. Bunco Babes Gone Wild was every bit as sexy as the first installment, Bunco Babes Tell All. We meet a new character, Georgia, who finds herself in an uncomfortable situation with strangers. Little does she know, it won't be her last. We also meet a sexy, Prince Charming named Dave, but it he her Prince Charming? The original girls are still around mixing margaritas and dishing out gossip. Who knew a dice game could be so sexy?
There was only one thing about this installment that turned me off. It took me a while to warm up to the heroine Georgia. She starts out really snobby and materialistic. After a while, her character started to open up a bit and you could see that she really does have a big heart and good intentions. It was just part of her character, but the superficialness was a turn-off. Maybe it was just her way of protecting herself from others. Overall, this was another great read. I would recommend it to fans of a good light-hearted story (with a touch of sex).

Won on GoodReads through First Reads!!
Fairly typical chick lit. I wanted to like it more than I did. I think that if I could relate to the main character and her love interest more it would have been better. What I did really like was the friendships among the women. For me the book would be more enjoyable if that was the focus of the book and the romance was secondary.
I do think that there are women who would love this book, though. There is definitely a market for it.

I liked both of these Bunco books, however as always there is some language and sexual content. I honestly don't think it's necessary to add that stuff in, it can still be a good story without the extra "color".

I spent more time laughing than anything when I was reading this book. I love the quick wit along with the sincerity that is mixed in with the bunco babes. Ms. Geraci knocked this one out of the park! Great read, one I couldn't put down!

Maria Geraci's Bunco Babes Gone Wild is quite a read and I mean that in a very good way. Georgia has left Atlanta and headed to her sister Frida's in Whispering Bay. She had just celebrated five years with Spencer and was hoping he would finally propose. He did not do that. He gave her a calculator and told her it was top of the line. Spencer had been married before and had two children. To her the children and his business always came first...she never did. Now she had to figure out if this was a relationship she wanted to continue as it seemed to be going nowhere.
Georgia met Dave Hernandez soon after she landed in Whispering Bay. There was definitly sparks flying between them but she denied it as she was in love with Spencer. This is really a love triangle with Georgia trying to figure out what and who she really wants. There are also many, many laughs. The Bunco Babes do go wild in this book. It is best that you pick this up and see for yourself what happens between Georgia, Spencer and Dave. I hope you like it as much as I did. Really hated for it to end.
