"If it was possible to give Point Us to Paris more than a five star rating, I would, because it's definitely my favourite of the three so far." Reviewed the Book "So far I'm really enjoying this series" Lost to Books "Okay so I don't like Paris but I did really like this book. I think that's more to do with Aimée's writing and the characters that she has created more than the city itself though... This installment to me felt shorter than the others, or maybe it's the fact that I'm now so addicted to the series that I'm reading them too fast." Book Addict Shaun Part 3 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories. Ciara would rather be anywhere else in the world than Paris. All the gooey eyed couples and handholding are making her miserable. But Elle doesn't have time for moping - not when she's got the three of them on the guest list of an exclusive club. So Ciara tries her best to enjoy the free champagne, the loft party looking over the Seine and a little harmless sexting - until they realize they've stumbled into a nightmare none of them were prepared for. The ideal summer treat for those relaxing days soaking up the sun!

"Aimee has brought me some of my favourite books this summer and I definitely won't be glad to see the back of these characters. Flirting in Florence is my easiest five star rating of the series. " ~ Reviewed the Book "There was more emotion in this instalment and I dislike the author for leaving it on such a cliffhanger! It's just mean and makes me want to start the next one even though it's 1am. :-) All I can hope is I get the ending I'm looking for in the final book, which I'm both sad and excited to start." ~ Lost to Books "Hooray, the sixth installment of the summer flings series is here, and an opportunity to check in with Ciara, Gem and Elle and see what they are up to as they arrive in Italy. Infact I was so eager I downloaded it at midnight, snuggled under my duvet, and had finished by 1am." ~ Jill Loves to Read Part 6 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories. Instead of hitting the designer shops with her friends, Ciara's all about proving Florence can be enjoyed on a budget - and she isn't talking about the sexy Italians Elle and Gem pick up for the duration!

When Vic accepts a teaching position in Jakarta, she has already been working and travelling in Asia for many years; she thinks she knows what to expect.

It also becomes apparent that there will be no support or companionship from her fellow Westerners and colleagues. Fajar has lived in Jakarta all his life. He gets by, loaning money from friends and family, spending his nights racing, and his days working on the roads as an ojek driver. When he impresses a customer with his understanding of English, he sees an opportunity. He dedicates himself to being the woman’s driver – taking her to and from work, running her errands. He thinks he’s won big. Neither Fajar nor Vic expect to find friendship and solace in their strange arrangement. But, before long, they will step outside the mores of their cultures together, crossing a boundary that will shake both of their lives.
