内容简介 Book Description
In Easy, Emma Gold's straight-talking heroine put a randy new spin on the sex life of the single British girl. Now she returns with the adventures of a new woman-about-London. From office politics (fending off the boss's advances; dating the co-worker's son) to bedroom diplomacy (no sleepovers past 3 a.m.; hetero lovemaking must be muffled so as not to offend gay roommate), the only sure bet is that when all the right balls are in the air (so to speak), all the wrong things will become . . . Hard.

From Booklist
After working as a solicitor, London "party" girl Emma comes to the conclusion that a person should like her job, so she quits. Many jobs later, she is working at a temp agency helping other people find work and enjoying it immensely--except for the new owner. Wayne makes inappropriate remarks and advances. Work is great, but her love life stinks until Emma meets her coworker and friend Tina's son, Luca. She is nervous about dating her coworker's son, but he's perfect and the two start to fall in love. But once her personal life is doing great, her work falls apart. Wayne goes too far and Emma fights back, alienating Tina and putting Luca in the middle of the dispute. Gold explores the ups and downs of a sassy London girl's life with irreverent wit, bringing a British spin to the predicament of the modern single woman that will resonate with and delight Americans.
