Bad Sisters (2011)

Deeley is just about to discover her services as a fake girlfriend to gay actor Nicky are no longer required. Thrown out of Tinseltown, she heads back to England and her sisters. Oxford-educated Maxie is the epitome of respectability, married to an MP and about to adopt a Rwandan orphan. Devon helms a successful franchise as a TV cook (think Nigella Lawson) and is married to a rugby star. Deeley's return stirs up memories of a secret that the girls all share from their dismal childhood, one that must stay buried at all costs. Focussing on each sister in turn (although perhaps Maxie doesn't get as much of the limelight), this will appeal to those looking for a well-constructed story with lots of intrigue and sexual tension.

Bad Girls (2010)

Amber is nearing the end of her modelling days - her addiction to prescription drugs certainly isn't helping - so instead her agent is hiring her out more as an escort. But when an international trip turns bad, she ends up in rehab. Lap dancer Skye gets the opportunity to make some money away from the strip club - by heading off to the same US clinic to seduce Hollywood star Joe Jeffreys, who's being treated for sex addiction. And for Petal, the daughter of a legendary rock star, she's grown up being exposed to tawdry scenes. But when she overindulges with her musician boyfriend Dan, her reformed father forces her to go clean up her act. This is a well-plotted story which keeps you wanting to know more about the characters and how they will fare. As a bonkbuster, it does get quite explicit.

Divas (2009)

Stunning looks, a gorgeous fiance and a limitless trust fund - London's IT girl Lola Fitzgerald is a spoilt and pampered princess whose father gives in to her every whim. Evie Lopez is just as stunning but she's had to work her way up to become financially stable. But these two women are in for a rude awakening when Lola's father - and Evie's lover - falls into a coma, giving his new wife Carin control over the finances. First thing on her list is to get rid of Lola by cutting off her financial support and leaving her penniless. Next on her hit list is her husband's mistress Evie, who she plans to evict. Although Lola and Evie cannot stand one another, they must combine forces to overthrow their number one enemy - The Ice Queen. This is a classic tale about going from riches to rags overnight, with a Cinderella/Snow White-inspired villainess thrown in. (PP)
