I read "His Other Lover" a few months ago and really enjoyed it. I'm now reading another book by the same author (Getting rid of Matthew) and am already hooked ... not even finished the first chapter yet! (just not had time).

Can anyone recommend any similar books? I'm looking for light romance/deceit/revenge books with a touch of comedy ... ?

I second Marian Keyes

Also i really like Janet Evanovich - she is hilarious.

Marian Keyes, Freya North (tho can be a bit twee- all her heroines are identical people soap and water girl next door types) Lisa Jewell.

Avoid the other chicklitters like the plague, especially the ones with gaudy covers with women in high heels with shopping bags.

Tony Parsons can be quite chicklitty.

Anita Shreve is always a good easy read, with stories based around romance.

Jilly Cooper too, addictive easy lighthearted reading I find.

Anything by Nora Roberts, particularly the trilogies. Quinn brothers and Concannon sisters

Marian Keyes is your woman. Easy reading, great stories and all with a sense of humour.
