At first I was unsure how on earth I was supposed to review In Bed With, a book of lightly erotic, yet ‘unashamedly sexy stories’ by some of the best female authors around, but that was just me being slightly immature and overtly aware of my prudishness. Because, lingerie designer or not, I find it a little difficult to talk the dirty talk whereas I’m old hand at walking the dirty walk – lingerie and heels, sil ‘vous plait. And, as a girl that reads on-the-go, it wasn’t exactly the kind of book that you would whip out on the bus when the front and back cover, ‘guarantee satisfaction.’

However to put it in the politest way possible; the book WILL deliver satisfaction through a trousseau of quirky tales that will take you to my beloved London, romantic Paris, the farthest of American deserts where tumbleweeds roll, and beyond.

I literally did star-jumps of excitement when I found the Cardiff shop, Lunacy.

Fo’ sho’, I heart the online version, and you will too, check it out – www.lunacyboutique.co.uk – it’s AH-MAZING, but a real life Lunacy shop is like the yummiest, scrummiest cupcake ever created – perfect-o!

You can read my interview with Miss Bex and the lovely Emma, the girls behind Lunacy, here, but even more fabulous-o than that, Miss Bex has compiled a Sassy List o’ Love just for us, and girls, believe me, it’s a good one.

I’m not going to lie, Men, Money and Chocolate are three of my most favourite things, so when I saw this book on the shelf in WHSmith at Waterloo station, it was a no-brainer, I bought it.

‘Cept  I wasn’t quite prepared for the impact this book was going to have on me – it’s truly magical. It made me think, it made me cry, and most of all, it filled me with more hope than any self-help book I’ve ever read. FYI: I’ve read A LOT.

The book is about Maya, a firmly stuck thirty-something who takes comfort in her cafe, her food and her unsuccessful relationships. A chance encounter with a customer leads to her transformation from gloomy to goddess, and the realisation that life, with all its pitfalls and problems, offers the opportunity to become so much more than who we are – to grow and be and above all, love!
