Will she find love with the troubled but kind-hearted Todd, or will her past hold her back? Sun, surfing and romance - what more could you want from a getaway read? Author: Georgia Toffolo Available as: Audiobook, Kindle edition and paperback.
One reviewer said: 'Omg I devoured this book, just as much as the first one! Georgia's characters are so believable I'm almost sad to finish, I was so immersed in their world. I love the fact each woman sees themselves with flaws (Like we all do sometimes) but the people who love them build them up instead of tearing each other down. A true celebration of love and friendship with a whole heap of emotion. I laughed out loud, cried, got angry and was frustrated at times but I would definitely read it again and again.'

Another two-in-one to keep you reading. You can get stuck into the story of academic Bristol as she gets more than she bargained for when she becomes a girlfriend for pay.

7 of 7The Queen (The Original Sinners)
A seductive deal, a newfound passion, Eleanor is ready to explore her life as a dominatrix but there have to be consequences. This compelling book is one for bedtime reading. Author: Tiffany Reisz. Available as: Kindle edition, paperback and Audiobook.
One reviewer said: 'I have finally finished them and oh my god what a story. Reisz writes with a beauty in every word and every line. I fell in love with Soren king and Nora/Eleanor and Elle at the very beginning and didn't think it was possible to love them more but at the end of the Queen I do. Reisz writes the most beautiful love scenes and darn right dirty scenes I have ever read. Please if you love deep uncontrollable and undeniably love then these books are a must. I am so happy that I read these books but I will miss them. I will be looking out for more by this author and am sure from reading this series and the novellas that fill in the gaps I will love whatever she writes next.'
