In this scene, Amber Johnson, owner of AJ's Cafe and heroine of the first book, All She Ever Wanted, makes a cameo appearance:)
Natalie fished in her purse for a pen. “I don’t know, Brian…what if I can’t make it back in January?”
Brian looked up in surprise. “You were born in January? What date?”
“The eighteenth.”
“No way…that’s my birthday!”
Natalie produced her driver’s license. “See?”
“I’ll be damned. I never knew that.”
“See there?” Amber broke in. “You come home and lunch is on the house.”
“Not dinner? I was hoping for that chicken and goat cheese dish you make. The one with the excellent sauce.”
“You don’t bring a special lady here for her birthday dinner.” Amber smacked his arm in a playful manner.
“You take her to Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Am I right?” She directed the question to Natalie, who agreed with her.
Brian looked sideways at both women. “Thanks, Amber. I really appreciate you telling us how to spend our birthday.”

We have a Ruth's Chris in my town. I've never been there for dinner. I think it would be a nice birthday place!

I was born in January but two days later. It is a great month.

@Catherine: I've not been to one since 1996. My hubby and I really need to eat there again; it was delicious!!
@Debby: This was one of the plot twists suggested:) Two friends discovered they shared the same birthday, and had been in the same class since 3rd grade, but never knew it until the 25th reunion!
