Synopsis (taken from the back of the book):
Amber Salpone doesn’t mean to keep ending up in bed with her friend, Greg Walterson, but she can’t help herself. And every time it ‘just happens’ their secret affair moves closer to being a real relationship, which is a big problem when he’s a womaniser and she’s a commitment-phobe.
While Amber struggles to accept her new feelings for Greg, she also realises that her closeness to Jen, her best friend is slipping away and the two of them are becoming virtual strangers. Slowly but surely as the stark truths of all their lives are revealed, Amber has to confront the fact that chocolate can’t cure everything and sometimes running away isn’t an option.

Living La Vida Loca by Belinda Jones


Title: Living La Vida Loca
Author: Belinda Jones
Status: New, Available
Price: RM27 (without postage)
Synopsis (taken from the back of the book):
Carmen has been feeling the need to break free for too damn long! So when her equally frustrated friend Beth suggests the ultimate escape – dancing their way through a series of scorchingly-hot countries - she can’t resist.

There’s just one catch…they can only go on this adventure if they participate in a reality TV show, one intent on teaching them the mournful tango in Argentina, the feisty flamenco in Spain and the sassy, celebratory salsa in Cuba.

As they travel from Buenos Aires to Seville and ultimately steamy Havana, each dance has a profound effect on the girls – as indeed do the sexy gauchos, matadors, and dirty dancers who partner them.
But, when the sun goes down, will Beth and Carmen have what it takes to go beyond the steps and free their hearts for love?

Me and Mr Darcy by Alexandra Potter


Title: Me and Mr Darcy
Author: Alexandra Potter
Status: New, Available
Price: RM27 (without postage)
Synopsis (taken from the back of the book):
After a string of disastrous relationships, Emily Albright has had it with modern men. She’s rather curl up with Pride and Prejudice and step into a time where men were honourable and strode across fields in breeches, their damp shirts clinging to their chests. The men she meets are more into pleated trousers, two-timing and internet porn.

So when her best friend invites her to Mexico for a week of margaritas and man hunting, Emily books a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead.

There are no dream men here. The coach is full of pensioners, apart from one Spike Hargreaves, a foul-tempered journalist writing a piece on why most women would love to date Mr Darcy.
But then she walks into a room and finds herself face-to-face with Darcy himself. And every woman’s fantasy suddenly becomes one woman’s reality.
