Trouble in Tinseltown (Summer Flings, #1)

by Aimee Duffy

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!

When I saw Trouble In Tinseltown on Netgalley, it looked like the perfect little read for my lunch hour! I’m not the biggest short story reader, but I find they do in a pinch, and are a quick and easy read when you’re not able to get into something fuller, and Aimee Duffy’s new series seemed the ideal thing for my lunch hours.

Trouble In Tinseltown is the first of seven short stories, following best friends Ciara, Gem and Elle on an around the world adventure of which I am insanely jealous. I dream of flying around the world, visiting hot, fabulous destinations, and the first stop for the girls is LA! Who doesn’t want to visit LA?

The girls are definitely a handful, mind, and I liked that the main focus was Ciara, the more level headed of the three girls and I enjoyed her flirtation with Zack. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes (if it goes anywhere since they’re off to Miami next). I enjoyed Trouble In Tinseltown, it was a cute, short read. It wasn’t perfect, but for my lunch break it was ideal. I can’t wait to go to Miami with the girls (I love Florida!).
