While Rome may be the fabled locale where people travel in search of romance, American beauties Monty Harrison and Dana Zimmer discover that The Eternal City is a miserable place to have your heart broken. Their suffering becomes even more painful when their bruised egos collide in a neighborhood bar, resulting in jail time for disorderly conduct and assault.With little in common beyond their crushed spirits, Monty and Dana set their differences aside to team up for revenge on the men who unceremoniously dumped them. They hatch a devious plan using their feminine wiles and the intimate information that only former lovers would know. But in the process, they find that getting even is a lot more complicated than they thought. Recommended for mature readers.

This collection contributes to a small but significant literature on music, sexuality, and sex in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Contributors employ a variety of different approaches to the repertoire: musical and visual analysis; archival and cultural history; gender studies; philology; and performance. By confronting musical, literary, and visual sources with historically situated analyses, the book shows how erotic life and sensibilities were encoded in musical works. It will be of value to scholars of early modern European history and culture, and more widely to a readership interested in the history of eroticism and sexuality.
