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.

Not only is In Bed With a very clever PR dream – lets be blatant, it just is – it has cleverly encompassed different writers of different genres from Jane Moore; columnist and journalist, Adele Parks; super author-girl and Jessica Adams; astrologer for Vogue and Cosmo. Each story is totally unique, and part of the fun is trying to work out who has written exactly which story, as each author has a porn star style pseudonym (combination of their first pet and their street). Some are smuttier than others, which is great for instant gratification, and some are darker hints of eroticism that delve deeper into the reader’s imagination.

So, to finish this off – insert connotations in this slot – Fifi Warren, (my porn star-style pseudonym – thank god the rule is not pet and first street, otherwise I would be Jack Three-Ton) has compiled a Sassy List that you might like to be In Bed With because as Diane Von Furstenburg said in the last episode of The City: “…The most important relationship you’ll ever have, is the one you have with yourself…”
