Glasgow Kiss by Sophie Gravia 2 Books Collection Set - Fiction - Paperback

Titles in This Set:
What Happens in Dubai
A Glasgow Kiss

Format: Paperback

Overview:
Two sparkling, contemporary romances pair Zara Smith’s bold, funny, and unexpectedly frank adventures across Glasgow and Dubai. In A Glasgow Kiss, Sophie Gravia introduces a 29-year-old trainee nurse who’s hurtling toward 30 and determined to find love—or at least someone to sext—while navigating a city that’s as cheeky as it is charming. Supported by sharp-witted friends Ashley and Raj, Zara launches into a string of dating escapades that feel fearless, chaotic, and impossibly relatable. The mood is audacious and warm, with quick-fire dialogue and moments of genuine vulnerability that land just as hard as the punchlines. In What Happens in Dubai, Zara’s heart has taken a hit, yet she chooses momentum over heartbreak, joining her friends at a Glasgow aesthetics clinic for a sun-soaked, all-expenses-paid getaway. It’s a sharper look at dating in the 21st century—playful, not a traditional romcom, and always blisteringly honest. Taken together, the set offers two standout, stand-alone tales with a shared voice, tempo, and irresistible blend of humor and heart.

What This Collection Covers:

Book-by-Book Guide:
What Happens in Dubai
Zara Smith returns in this razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud adventure about navigating modern dating with humor and heart. After a tough breakup, she chooses fun over forever and dives into a sun-soaked promotional trip with her friends to Dubai, where the stakes are high and the flirting is even higher. The story tracks Zara’s misadventures by the pool, in social circles, and through the messy, revealing moments that teach her what she really values in romance, friendship, and self-identity. Gravia’s voice stays as brisk and candid as ever, delivering sharp one-liners, unexpected tenderness, and a sense of empowerment that comes from choosing joy while still owning one’s desires. The book’s energy remains high, and readers will root for Zara as she discovers balance between playfulness and possibility. A Glasgow Kiss
Meet Zara Smith: 29, single, and muddling through life as a trainee nurse in Glasgow.

The dating misadventures are lively and unapologetic, ranging from online chats that derail to blind dates that misfire, hometown hookups, and flirtatious bartenders who keep things interesting. A pivotal dynamic arrives as Dr Tom Adams—aka Sugar Daddy—shows interest, turning ordinary days into moments with real consequences. Gravia captures the rush, awkwardness, and hilarity of chasing romance in a city that never sleeps, all with a bold, refreshingly honest voice. It’s a story about friendship, flirting, and the moment when attraction meets opportunity.
