review 1: You know when you read something that you half like and half hate? Well Trouble in Tinsel Town is that to me. I think hate is a bit harsh, but there were parts I did dislike. As a short story Aimee Duffy has managed to squeeze in quite a lot. This being the first book in a mini series, I don't think it gave us much in getting to know the characters, and to be fair it felt a little flat. I thought Ciara was a moody cow and it really put me off reading it. I like Aimee Duffy's previous work and I know she's a talented, quirky and witty writer, so I'm just hoping the next book in this series will prove me wrong and be great.2/5
review 2: This book took me less than half an hour to read and yet was so action packed and fun. Only a talented author could achieve that... more and despite this being my first read from Aimée Duffy it's clear that she has that talent. There is no shortage of chick lit authors yet Aimée definitely has her own distinctive writing style and I loved it. There's a few authors doing these short releases set in glamorous places around the world but if I'm honest this is the one I was most excited for (which explains my frustration at being declined then approved on Netgalley)! I love the covers and the blurbs and couldn't wait to get stuck in. With short stories it's almost impossible to discuss the plot but basically Ciara and her two best friends Gem and Elle are travelling around the world - first stop LA. For someone not going on holiday this year these books are ideal. Aimée captured the setting perfectly and I was transported to LA for a short time. Arriving at their accommodation Elle is furious to see her cousin Zach is there as well. Ciara however is far from furious when she claps eyes on him... Off to a party at Nobu the girls soon find themselves in a pretty outrageous and hilarious situation. With short stories certain aspects do have to be rushed but could chemistry be created between two characters in just a few pages? The answer to that is definitely. The flirting between Ciara and Zach is light hearted and believable at first and then the heat is knocked up a level... And then as with all the best short stories the book is over leaving you desperate for more. Luckily we don't have to wait too long to meet up with the girls again, this time in Miami and I can't wait. I will also have to check out more from Aimée Duffy, if she can write such a fantastic story in a short amount of pages I'd love to read a full book from her. less
