Synopsis

Game over? Belle is starting to wonder if she should call time on the call girl business...get a day job, a life free from secrets and have a 'normal' relationship with the Boy. But will Belle cope with the nine-to-five, a staggering decline in her underwear budget and no more paid sex? As Belle explores life and love after the game, her story is frank, smart and refreshingly honest. Punctuated with advice, anecdotes and reflections in her inimitable voice, this is a novel of secrets and lies, scabrous wit and more than a little lust.

Book Overview: Belle's adventures have been hardback and paperback Top Ten bestsellers The TV series received massive attention and a second series is on the way. Over 200,000 copies of the TV tie-in have been sold, taking Belle within sight of half a million copies. With the TV series introducing more back-story for Belle, now is the perfect time to move into fiction. In this gloriously sharp and refreshing novel, Belle is still centre-stage, but carrying on her story in fiction gives Belle free rein to be as outrageous as you can imagine... Belle's distinctive voice - sexy, clever and witty - has always put her head and shoulders above the pack of copycat writers. This standout quality of writing shines through in the new novel. Belle has fantastic appeal across the market: 'She lists like Hornby. She talks dirty like Amis.' INDEPENDENT 'Bridget Jones stops moaning and goes on the game' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Media Reviews
'Playing the Game keeps the reader entertained and interested, thanks to Belle's quick wit and and straight talking' LONDON LITE 'Belle's first foray into fiction still finds the former call girl on sparkling and outrageous form, as the escapades become even more risky.' THE MIRROR 'impossible to put down.' CITY AM 'Belle does post-coital camaraderie almost better than anything that comes before.' -- Boyd Tonkin THE INDEPENDENT 'An extraordinary number of call-girl memoirs have surfaced recently ... Belle differs from these sexcapades in the most fundamental way, however, in that she can actually write. ... she is brilliant - frank,witty and observant ... Whoever you are, Belle, you can give up the day job and keep writing.' -- Francesca Segal THE OBSERVER
