А если соблазнить его поцелуями? Возможно, в этом плане есть потенциал!
WHAT COULD HAPPEN FROM A LITTLE HARMLE55SITTING, ANYWAYS?It .was n't like she wanted to become a bride after all. The novel explores the possibility that a woman may be attracted to a man despite the fact that they have nothing in common.Judith Christenberry's intriguing story is an enthralling escape from the ordinary. Shelby, an architect marrying Isabella Sean, feels haunted and enraptured by her aunt Kay's on-and-off lover, Peter Campbell. Though disabled from polio, gentle Peter is intensely passionate about music, birds, and a number of books, including Kay's celebrated historical fiction. Often they talk on the phone late into the evening.Is it love at first sight or post-mortem sex, coming into consciousness centuries and centuries later? It is impossible to say. Peter is a man of real charm and tremendous joie de vivre, but little harmony exists between Shelby and their dream life at sea.Isabella sees something dangerous in Peter, though she cannot quite articulate it ("the five times worse").In their first "tangy" night together, Shelby's sympathy with Peter resonates through the pages. Although biophilic ("We must fight to protect the soul so every living creature can thrive"), mastodonic ("Expecting a live-in corpse to trap you forever sounds like an urban fantasy"), and uncorporopathic ("No penchant for sexuality or productivity evenies my lack of ambition to save [Peter], any more than [he] is saving me"), she senses in him potential declaration of love.
