attractive

eccentric college professor enticing her protégé with informal lessons on
dance, drawing, and desire
* A
stage manager struggling to remain professional with the show's sexy
director
Whether
you're looking for a playwright provoking her friend's uptight cop neighbor to
help with blocking, two choir men battling for the affection of the
girl-next-door, or a struggling writer finding an unusual muse in the Japanese
countryside, this collection will have you ready for romance.

Excerpt :
From Resonance
He’d sat outside the café every day for a week then
disappeared. Only a short time later she’d heard the violin music drifting
across the street. From the window, she’d had a clear view of those long
fingers stroking the strings of the wooden instrument with a lover’s touch.
After that, she’d asked around. Apparently he was indeed brilliant, but he knew
it. He’d made short work of angering all the neighbors with his sharp tongue
and condescending words. Still, Colette didn’t want him to talk to her; she
merely wanted him to look at her.

and condescending words. Still, Colette didn’t want him to talk to her; she
merely wanted him to look at her.
And it had happened. She caught him looking up at her flat
in the evenings as she stood by the window, brushing out her long hair. Colette
could tell he was studying her, trying to decide what to make of the girl who
wore barely-there boyshorts in full view of the street.

Today, she was waiting. He played his violin every morning
at 5am despite neighborhood complaints. You could set your watch by the second
he picked up the bow. On this lazy Sunday morning, when the café would be
closed and nobody would be on the street, Colette had woken early to watch him
play. Planning on playing a bit herself, she’d thrown on a simple white
cardigan and nothing else. She’d be disappointed if he didn’t show.

My Review
4 stars
In the Arts of Love this story takes you on a journey of several stories that all focus around the arts. Music, Theater, Writing, and Art. In every category their are several stories that include characters that have a love or job in each field. I really enjoyed each short story. They are very short, but written well.
