I'm officially a fan!
This is truly the most San Francisco book/series out there.

In this book we continue to learn about the adventures of Mary Ann Singleton and Michael Tolliver along Brian Hawkins. This time Mary Ann and Brian are a couple. It is almost 1984 and Brian wants a baby so bad with Mary Ann. Mary Ann seems hesitant. Her career is taking off and she isn't very sure. Michael Tolliver had lost Jon to AIDS and it's devastating. He goes to London after swapping houses with Simon, a British guy who left the Queen's ship when she visited San Francisco. Mary Ann has a huge crush on Simon and invites him to stay with them at Barbary Lane. Brian also meets a rock star widow and gets invited to a party in her mansion.

Michael runs across Mona in London! who totally ignores him and here we have a little adventure when Michael chases Mona across the city with his building mate Alfred to know what she's hiding. At the same time, we learn about Brian's being sterile and Mary Ann at a lost of what to do to make his wish come true. She does have a crush after all on Simon who looks like a younger version of Brian so she plans this whole thing of sleeping with Simon on the ovulation date of her cycle!
