Part 2 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories.

The girls are off to a beach house to catch some rays - and if they play their cards right - super hot guys!

With drinking games in the name of Gucci, a surprise visit from a very pissed off Zack and hunks galore, Miami is turning into their best stop yet. Not to mention Ciara finally comes up with a way to have her cake and eat it too!

The ideal summer treat for those relaxing days soaking up the sun!

This is the second book in the Summer Flings series, you can see my review for the first part here. 

Well the girls have moved on from Tinsel Town, and are now in Miami. There are some fantastic descriptions of Miami, that took me right back to my trips there last year. Having been on holiday to Miami, I think was partly what made me really want to read this part, and I wasn't disappointed. 

Elle and Gem are up for some more casual encounters with the male kind, and it seems like that and drinking to excess are their only motives for this trip round the world.  They are entertaining but so far fairly shallow characters that provide great entertainment. 

Ciara on the other hand is clearly going to be the star of the series, I feel we are getting far more of her background so far, and the chemistry between her and Zach is undeniable. 

I loved the scenes between Zach and Ciara, with a special mention to a section featuring ice-cream, where I was really feeling like I was Ciara, reading it.. 

With lots of booze, sun and muscle men on offer Miami is an entertaining short story, and a lovely second part in the overall Summer Flings series. 

I have always enjoyed Paris as a city, so will be interested what the girls get up to in Book 3, Point Us to Paris.

Part 1 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories.

Armed with a degree from Oxford that she doesn't have a clue what to do with, Ciara Bree convinces her two best friends, Elle and Gem to spend their first summer of freedom backpacking across the globe. Now it's time to shop, sunbathe, think about boys for a change, and party hard...

First stop: LA!

The girls hit Tinseltown for a few days of shopping, star spotting, and even a movie premiere!
But their plan to sneak into an exclusive celeb party in West Hollywood backfires. Elle's gorgeous older cousin, Zack, is called to the rescue and despite knowing she should stay away, Ciara just can't seem to resist him.

The ideal summer treat for those relaxing days soaking up the sun!

This is an incredibly short story, but it is the first one in a series of 7 Summer Flings, which combined would be a more regular length book.

This first part is a fabulous introduction to the characters Elle, Gem and Ciara. The girls all meet at university and are best friends. Now having finished their final year at Oxford, they are spending their summer travelling, and their first stop is LA. 

This is an entertaining story, and made me really want to spend a few days in sun drenched LA. The scenes at the celeb party are very funny, and there is definitely some chemistry between Ciara and Elle's cousin. 

Aimee Duffy has managed to pack a lot of story into an very short space. You definitely get a feel for the three girls distinctive personalities and a hint that you are in for a complete treat with this series.  

I will be looking forward to reading the next step of their trip in Miami. 

I feel that the Summer Flings series will be perfect for when you are wanting a quick escape to somewhere exotic, with a splash of laughter and a touch of romance!
