M. Bovary lives up to her name. She possesses that rare combination of intelligence, beauty, and sensuality that begins in conversation and gradually takes on other dimensions. Effortlessly seductive, cultured without affectation, and deliciously provocative. Behind her baroque soul lies a very well-balanced dose of naughtiness—the kind that first insinuates itself in words and then lets the imagination work. An engaging, feminine, and dangerously interesting companion. I left our encounter understanding that certain temptations were not meant to be avoided.
