This review is from: The Casanova Embrace (Paperback)

Warren Adler's "Casanova Embrace" is an overdone and oversexed book about 3 women and their lover, a Chilean in exile. At the beginning of the book, Eduardo the Chilean, is killed in an explosion, and a CIA man tries to piece together the who and whys of the murder. On the way, we meet three women that bore us to tears, and by the time we get to the part where they know they've been had, we don't care.
