Pay generous. Discretion a must.' In a small office in Half Moon Street, Hughie Venables-Smythe discovers the world of the professional flirt. A timeless art, it can save a marriage or lift a heart faster than any therapy. Letitia Vane runs a bespoke lingerie shop in Belgravia and understands just how to make women feel beautiful. But she cannot let her guard down and fall in love, least of all with Hughie. Olivia Bourgault de Coudray is in an unhappy marriage to a very wealthy man. When a series of beautiful notecards begins to appear, with intriguing clues handwritten on each, her interest is piqued. But the same clues are being delivered to Letitia. Who is flirting with whom? And is flirtation as innocent as it seems -- or can it lead to far more dangerous territories of the heart?

Underrated!
I adored "Elegance", was less enamored of "Innocence", but fell in love again with "The Flirt". A whimsical piece of fun, at one point "The Flirt" made me giggle so hard when reading it in the tub that my son had to knock on the door to see if I was ok (if you're wondering, it was provoked by the encounter where Hughie pretends he can speak French.)I am puzzled as to why some people found the plot hard to follow, it was hardly rocket science and I found it a very effortless read.It reminded me a lot of Jilly Cooper's novel "The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous", another thoroughly enjoyable piece of fun - if you end up liking "The Flirt" be sure to read the Jilly Cooper one!Recommended.

Some aspects are slightly unbelievable but didn't spoil my enjoyment of this heart warming book
Another one of Kathleen's that I couldn't put down. Some aspects are slightly unbelievable but didn't spoil my enjoyment of this heart warming book.

Not that flirty
A light enjoyable read but needed more depth, too many stories that lacked proper cohesion, a summer piece of pulp.
