About the author
Nikki Ashton
51 books401 followersI live in Cheshire with my husband, two dogs and mum in law and write romantic humour and contemporary romance. My first two books, Guess Who I Pulled Last Night? and No Bra Required both stayed at number 1 on the Amazon Humour list for 3 & 4 weeks respectively. My ambitions of becoming a writer started at the age of 10 when I started writing poetry at school, and was given the honour of reading one out to the rest of my year group (an horrific experience that I will never forget). Thankfully I have a wide variety of strange and wonderful people in my life, otherwise I'd be stuck on what to write about! I am currently talking to family and friends, finding out their innermost secrets in readiness for my next book.
My books are romances that come with a little more than vanilla sexy times, sometimes a few tears, lots of hot men and feisty women, but ultimately they'll make you smile.

I am starting to find it hard to write reviews for Nikki Ashton as every book she writes is even better than the previous one. I absolutely love Claudia and Lucas, their 'situationship' is a rollercoaster, and you will them all through it to move forward but with that hilarious humour that only Nikki can do. This book is brilliant, funny, excellent story but such an easy read as in i couldn't put it down and devoured it. I couldn't recommend this series enough, it's so nice to have lead characters that have curves and the insecurities that we all do. It's written so unbelievably well, in the way that Nikki does, she pulls you and gets you so enthralled in the story you live it and i didnt want it to end!
Although you don't need to read them in order, i would do, as they just keep getting better and better.
This is definitely my favourite of the curvy girls club so far!

The Situationship brings us another romcom novella from the trusty pen of Nikki Ashton.
The chemistry between Lucas and Claudia is off the charts but from respectable lawyers, you just don't get the same opportunity for dodgy situations that will provide guffaw like humour.
The source of the humour this time is not the couple themselves but their extended families, of blood and not, that bring us to full blown laughter.
As Claudia and Lucas navigate their 'situation', there seems to be some surprise that feelings develop. Only for them...we all knew!
Another lovely read with hilarious and deliciously spicy interludes.

Usual Nikki Ashton excellence!
I’ve really enjoyed the Curvy Girls Club series so far and this book didn’t disappoint!
Loved the pond scene which really made me laugh. However, her Mum and Dad well, that just made me feel ill 🤢😂
I only wish each book was longer to enjoy the laughs even more!
Thanks Nikki, a very easy but fun book to read, again.

Book 3 of The Curvy Girls Club series from the wonderful Nikki Ashton. This is such a fun and easy read, ladies think seriously about adding this to your holiday reading, heck, get the whole series so far. The Situationship, a new term for me but if you' want the old school definition, it's good old friends with benefits 😊. But don't tell Claudia and Lucas that, because they don't have a clue what their relationship is. Both divorce lawyers, for rival firms and both excellent at their jobs. For reasons all of their own, and 2 sets of rather questionable parents, they have both decided a long term relationship is definitely not for them, and marriage is a no go zone, so the next best thing is FWB. The chemistry from these two is explosive, fireworks every time they have an encounter, but unfortunately no quickies in the office, well they are respectable lawyers. But Claudia does have a daydream or 2 about it. Lucas is obsessed with Claudia's rather ample booty and makes no bones about it. The laughs come quick and easy as we meet both sets of totally insane, all in their own way, parents. They meet each other's parents, and still insist they are just friends, but Claudia begins to realise that her feelings have changed and she wants Lucas in her life more than just as a quick shag when the need arises or a booty call. But does Lucas feel the same way. Throw in Lucas' delightful card shark of a granny, walking in on Claudia's parents in a position no one ever wants to see them and you have a perfect Nikki Ashton romcom. As usual with Nikki's usual brilliance we have what feels like a full book in this Novella. This can be read in a few hours, as can the previous novellas in this series. Almost one for everyday of your holiday by the pool. Looking forward to the next one.

This is book #3 in The Curvy Girls Club series and it's another good one!
Claudia and Lucas are both divorce lawyers who just so happen to have a mutual beneficial relationship 😉 Lucas calls it a "situationship" which basically means you act like a couple and look like a couple but aren't actually a couple.
Both Claudia and Lucas start to develop feelings but find it hard to tell the other person. Can they overcome their fears and tell one another? Are other factors going to come between them?
This is another funny rom-com from Nikki. Man, she knows how to bring the spice and humour in every book! I laughed so hard as these two were so funny together. It's another novella but it is the perfect length and there is only one more after this one which I'm gutted about. It's a fantastic series. It's great for a quick read or a palette cleanser if you've just read something heavy. I have throughly enjoyed following Lucas and Claudia on their journey for their HEA. Lucas made me swoon 🫠 He is such a big teddy bear inside ❤️ I can't wait for the next one!

This is the third book in the Curvy Girls Club series and is a little ripper of a story. Honestly, these books are quick reads that make you laugh out loud while enjoying a different type of romantic adventure each time, and this story is exactly that.
In this romance the adventure is about a ’Situationship’ seeing as both lead characters don’t want to be tied to a real relationship. Claudia and Lucas are best friends who have an intimate bond as well. Both are extremely talented family-law solicitors and often end up on opposite sides of the court room—making it that little bit more adventurous.
Both lead characters are very humorous with their witty comebacks and fun banter. Both understand each other… mostly. 😉 And both have interesting relatives but Claudia’s take the cake! (Well, they would literally, if they could!)
Once again, this very talented author has written an outstandingly witty romance that I recommend to everyone.

Another brilliant addition to this fab series - I believe this may even be my favourite so far!
The story revolves around Claudia and Lucas, who are intent on a having a friends with benefits relationship yet find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other. Nikki Ashton skillfully weaves their banter and playful exchanges, creating a dynamic that is both entertaining and heartwarming. Their interactions are filled with clever dialogue and humorous situations that had me chuckling throughout the story.
I highly recommend this delightful quickie as a perfect pick-me-up for any romance enthusiast.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book, and despite thinking I wasn't going to get a chance to read it, I picked it up today and genuinely was unable to put it down until I finished it. Nikki has a way of instantly drawing you in to the world's she creates, and getting you completely invested in her characters lives, so much so that it takes you away from whatever is happening in your own life. This book proved to be the best distraction to real life, it's funny, it's heartwarming, and it's real. I will forever be in awe of this woman and her writing.

friends with 😜😜
Another great book by Nikki Ashton 🥰
So Claudia and Lucas are Family Lawyers and are having a friends-with-benefits relationship, BUT they don’t like that word and call themselves friends-situation-ship 🤪🤪
They both want what they ‘don’t’ want 🤷♀️ but hey, you can’t mess with the heart ♥️
Along the way, you see both Claudia’s ‘💩’ parents and Lucas’s very eccentric ones along with gran 😜 she’s a little diamond in the rough
And the 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 defiantly needs a read now 😂
Can’t wait for book 4!!!!

The Situationship is book 3 in The Curvy Girls Club, I adore all Nikki’s books, the fact that she can write some many different styles , these quick summer sizzlers are bang on Nikki’s romcom brand.
Each of these has been better than the one before. This time we enjoy the antics of Lucas & Claudia, 2 professional lawyers, who are as successful and as committed to their careers as each other. But they are not so commited to finding their “one”.
A wonderful spicy story during which you the reader will be willing them to see what we already know - They are made for each other!

Another fantastic addition to this series. This time its lawyers Claudia and Lucas’s time to shine. They have a friends with benefits or as Lucas calls it a Situationship going on and they both have to fight their ever growing feelings until it hits the point to where it needs addressing. I loved Lucas’s crazy family, his gran was a hoot she literally had no filter and the scene with him and his mam shopping had me crying with laughing because that is something I would well I have been known to do so it all felt very real. A nice short read
Perfect for an afternoon read sat in the sun.

I think this is my favourite from the Curvy Girls Club series, but there's still one more to go. Loved the 2 main characters Claudia and Lucas and Gran was hilarious. Still say we need longer books for all of these characters....please

An amazing story of overcoming a horrible youth to becoming a lawyer. Claudia Davenport and Luca Caulfield were to people that fought their feelings till destiny took over. A fun, heartwarming and even sad story. A must read. Amazing.

This book had me laughing so much at 130am while trying to discreetly read in bed I actually thought the other half would wake up 😂 This is my favourite read of the year so far and I a not wait for the next one.

Awww This book has that feel to it. Claud and Lucas are so cute together! They have steam in and out of the bedroom too! I loved reading book 3 of Nikki’s new series so much. I was right there with Claud, I felt her frustration, her feelings growing and the disappointments. I needed to know how it all came about, so I kept reading and was at the edge of my seat almost biting my nails! Nikki you did a great job and I’m excited I was able read this amazing family/friends/life you created in your writer world. Want to know how this one ends? Ha! Not telling, go grab your copy now and curl up for a fabulous read!

OMG, I don't know where to start with this brilliant rom-com by Nikki, it has you laughing right from the start.
I loved Lucas and Claudia, but my favourite character was Gran, can you imagine meeting your whatever-he-is family for the first time and coming face to face with Gran, she is a straight-talking card hustler who has no filter, you can't help but love her, her comments were outrageous but true, she was one smart cookie.
Claudia and Lucas are both divorce lawyers often working opposite each other but there is a connection and chemistry between them and rather than call it "friends with benefits" Lucas prefers to call it a situationship, which is all fine till they both start to have feelings but both too coward to tell each other.
Although this is a novella, you have as much laughter as in a full novel, and the romance and comedy have a perfect balance, its hard to choose between all of the books so far which is my favourite but this one is the top at present, but knowing Nikki the last book will blow your mind.

I've really been enjoying this series and was looking forward to read the next one. I loved the chemistry between Lucas & Claudia a lot as their banter was playful but there were also a lot of emotional moments that made you really connect to them. It was a fun, great lovely story.
Lucas & Claudia are both divorce lawyers and not looking for anything more than a casual relationship so what they've got going on together is exactly what they want... or isn't it. With everything going on around them, they don't really have to focus on each other but when a high profile case pulls them together, they'll have to finally face what's really in front of them. Will they find their way to one another in the end?...
