“I set out to write a book that someone with a two or three-hour flight ahead of them could read and enjoy,” says Harries. “It doesn’t get into politics, it doesn’t expose the dark side of society. It requires very little thinking and, of course, a sense of humor.”
I don’t usually do book reviews. Since I only seem to read books that i’ve downloaded on my phone. But it was nice for a change to actually read a normal book~ with pages. Infatuation was both funny, fun to read. The book caught my attention from the first page and had me continuing reading until I was finished. It was hard to put down, I wanted to see what happened and get to the end, the constant laughing didn’t help and i’m sure my boyfriend thought I was odd, laughing out loud with a book in my hand. Great must read. Perfect weekend book, yes you can read this in a weekend, you will not want to set it down.
A belly dancer with a stolen book believed to be the Kama Sutra on steroids is determined to outwit the Italian mob's most deadly hitman, the dwarf, Nano Mortale in a new madcap adventure from Jonathan Harries, author of Killing Harry Bones.
When Fanny Packer, a voluptuous belly dancer steals a mysterious codex, rumored to make the Kama Sutra look like a children's story book, from a mob family in Rome, total chaos ensues. Fortunately for Fanny, her secret admirer, Charley Brooks, will do anything to protect her from the mob's deadliest hitman, the hirsute dwarf, Nano Mortale. With the help of a dominatrix and traveling on an old bookmobile converted into a brothel organized by the Dewey Decimal System, Fanny and Charley make a desperate run from Los Angeles to Worland, Wyoming, where they hope to unlock the codex one position at a time.
