Best-selling author Van Whitfield is
back with another hilarious peek into the romantic lives of today's
everyday Joes.
Readers across the country are discovering the marvelously original
voice ofVan Whitfield as he champions the romantic trials and tribulations of
today's everyman. In Guys In Suits, a laugh-out-loud expose of
how differently women treat blue collar guys versus white collar
"suitors", Whitfield shines the spotlight on the desperate bus
driving Simon and his stock broker best friend Stuart, D.C.'s consummate
ladies man.
Having just turned thirty, Simon is in search of his soul mate and is
determined to settle down. Stuart has different plans. He subscribes to
the "Quintessential Male Manifesto", the 60-day Rules -- A
theory that suggests men are inherently bound to successfully co-exist
in relationships for just 60 days!
Weeks 1-2 are the "Glory Days," when a man actually looks
forward to "communicating" with a potential mate. Weeks 2-4are
known as the "Realm of Reality," the period where the gloss
wears off. The "Prozac Period," weeks 5-6, is a time of high
anxiety because the woman thinks she's found Mr. Right…but the guy
knows he's in too deep. And the "Dawn of Destruction," the
final era of the 60-day rules, is when the guy is ready to bail, but
unfortunately, the woman isn't!
As Simon and Stuart's annual New Year's Eve investment group vacation
approaches, (with their two "happily" married buddies and
their wives, no less) they're in a mad dash to find dates. As the
deadline for this fun-in-the-sun extravaganza approaches, both Simon and
Stuart have met potential Ms. Right's, and are confident that for the
first time, they'll take their dream dates on their annual island
get-away. Everything looks good, but just before the tickets are booked,
a staggering discovery threatens to upset Simon and Stuart's seemingly
perfect plan.
With all the laughs and hubris of a sweet old-fashioned comedy, Van
Whitfield takes readers on a madcap romp through the rocky terrain of today's
relationships.
