The Flirt by Kathleen Tessaro
A Fast Read With Lots Of Enjoyable Storylines
Tantalizing words written on an ivory card. It is the first clue that will lead
an intrigued and intriguing London lady on an odyssey of sensual
experience designed to awaken her romantic nature.
Out-of-work actor Hughie Venables-Smythe has found a profitable new
outlet for his talents. He is hired, often by distraught husbands, to flirt with
wives who are feeling neglected in their relationships. His current
seductive campaign is focused on Olivia, the spouse of a narcissistic
billionaire, and the lady is responding quite nicely to the cream-colored
missives he secretly leaves for her. So nicely, in fact, that Hughie decides
to employ a similar technique—and shockingly similar messages—in his
pursuit of his own heart?s desire: the aloof and charming lingerie designer,
Leticia. But the canny, professional flirt?s brazen anonymous intrusions
into the lives of two women are about to set in motion a series of
remarkable events that no one could have anticipated—setting the stage
for shocking revelations about love, friendship, and domestic bliss.

Personal Review: The Flirt by Kathleen Tessaro
This book reminded me of those movies like "Love Actually" that have tons
of storylines going on all at once, which come together neatly at the end to
leave you with a feeling of satisfaction of seeing how everything turned out
for everyone at one time.
I am surprised to see so many negative reviews here - I really thoroughly
enjoyed this book, and actually cared about each of the characters. I was
particularly fond of Rose, who shows up at an interview to be part of the
staff of a large billionaire's home, and winds up being mistaken for the Next
Great British Art Talent because of a strange interview exercise that went
awry.
I also really enjoyed experiencing the growth of Leticia, a girl who refuses
to be close to anyone, has lots of one night stands but won't get
romantically involved, because she was so badly hurt when she was
younger.
And as much as Hughie is supposedly the "main" character, I saw him
more as a pair of eyes who was experiencing all this stuff and relaying it
back to me, more than actually caring about what he was getting up to.
Having lived in London I loved the descriptions of all the neighborhoods.
I actually bought Elegance - Tessaro's first book - when it was new, but I'm
ashamed to say that it's sat on my shelf unread for the past few years. I'm
going to have to dig that out and read it next. Am happy to have found a
new author I enjoy so much.
