A diverse collection of tales offering a variety of takes on seduction including a very sweet and romantic tale of a husband reclaiming his wife from the ennui of a too comfortable marriage. A good portion of the tales, though, end up with the characters regreting seducing or being seduced.

Dying to Sing

The first book in a mystery series featuring Charlie Plato, 1/6 cowboy bar owner, proud 1st time bunny owner, secret Zack Hunter groupie, and a strong, smart, sassy woman. I already have the next one checked out of the library.

Great author to read if you like the mysteries of Carolyn Hart and Mary Daheim.
