"The Flirt" is back on the best-seller lists, and well-deserved!

A young, handsome, out-of-work actor is hired to flirt with bored, dissatisfied wives. And who hires him? Their husbands, of course, who would rather pay someone else to pay attention to their wives. Just for fun, of course, just to keep the ladies happy.

He begins with short notes on expensive cards: "I'm going to seduce you." These are so effective that he decides to try to same method in pursuit of his own heart's desire. If one woman is intrigued and fascinated by his notes, surely the one he really cares about will be as well.

Then things start to move in unexpected paths.

This was a fun book, but with an unexpected kick and also unexpected depth. A bit different, and highly recommended.
