Odd story about a woman who shares her lover with her best friend to write a magazine article about sharing men. Recommended to me.

Read in Mallorca
I thought this would be hopelessly outdated, and to some extent, there was a bit of that to it, but it nonetheless was a good read. Hanna, the main character, struggles with her need for independence and security. She's ambitious to find advancement in her career and for that she's willing to put her personal life on line, but ends up regretting her choice fairly swiftly when she realises she's being played by her boss. The characters are quite credible - a good holiday read.

Romantic suspense at its finest
I had just finished reading the Women's Murder Club 14th book that Maxine Paetro co-workers with James Patterson and wanted to try something she wrote alone. I enjoyed it a lot.

a cute story about love and friendship and how it's not really the best idea to share your man.
