Received a copy for review from the publisher, thank you!

Blurb:

Claire Kennedy is NiceGirl, the anonymous author of steamy online blog 'Scenes of a Sexual Nature'. An internet sensation, she attracts the attention of Mark Bell, a hot London publisher. But when it becomes clear that Mark is interested in more than just a book deal, Claire has to act fast. Because little does Mark know that NiceGirl is a lot more experienced in the bedroom than real-life Claire Kennedy.

Mark is offering Claire the life she's always dreamed of - a steady relationship, the literary world of London and a posh Highgate apartment.

But when Claire hires the services of struggling artist and commitment-phobe Luca to brush up on her sex skills, things get more complicated...

Some Girls Do follows the story of Claire Kennedy, a twenty-something average girl who leads a normal life, which includes working at a bookshop to whet her love of books and spends her days writing her blog. But no one knows she's the famous sex blogger, NiceGirl. When her blog strikes a book deal with one of the hottest (and most handsome) publisher in London, Claire makes the most drastic measure to live up to her alter ego's reputation (and skills!). In comes Luca, a struggling artist with a reputation for being a womaniser, who is willing to take her under his wing and educate her about the art of sex. Ahem. Blush. (I love those scenes. Bite me, Luca...)

I adored Claire. I could definitely relate to her, I mean, she loves books! And I love books. OK, that's pretty lame, but the thing is, I could understand her and like me, she'd prefer to stay at home with a good book and a cup of tea. Her alter-ego, NiceGirl is a notorious sex fiend. God bless her! Scenes of a Sexual Nature, Claire's blog is all lies. Completely fabricated, fictional! A sweet, thoughtful heroine who is a completely different person(a) who falls in love in the most unconventional way, juggling love, friendship and sex. The characters were very well-written. I really fell for Luca, he's such a gentleman, given that he's a heartbreaker by nature, he's one of those "good guys".

A seriously addictive novel filled with naughty bits and frankly, pretty rude, but with the right amount of sizzle. I couldn't get enough of it! I think that Clodagh Murphy's writing shines through her character's emotions and clever plot. Aside from all the romance, there are darker, more emotional themes in the book which contributes to the progress of the book and creates more depth in her characters.

Some Girls Do has an engaging plot which will keep readers' hooked, filled with saucy and incredibly sexy bits. Let's be honest, who doesn't like to read about sex? Follow Claire's journey as she picks either love, friendship or sex? Or can she have all of them? Funny, addictive with a bitter sweet ending, Some Girls Do is chick lit with a twist!

Rating: 9/10

Claire's character literally screamed RACHEL MCADAMS! And she's lucky to have TOM HARDY as Luca. Lucky cow..
