Temptress
Temptress is a short story originally featured in the best Make Them Pay - A Thriller Anthology.
When local bars become the hot target for thieves, Detective Reyes is reminded that temptation comes in many forms.
Kent, Grady, and Red have the bait and switch routine down to a science. Although, Red is the newest member to the tiny crew, she's the biggest weapon in their arsenal. She's hot as sin and the poster child of distractions. Kent and Grady knew she was going to help them pilfer all the dive-bars in the town they'd set their sights on. It would be easy money with her in the spotlight.
There was just one small problem. They hit Lucky's bar first. A bar that was owned by the father-figure of Detective Reyes, of the Midland Law Enforcement Center.
Detective Ricky Reyes is on the hunt to catch the thieves that stole what wasn't theirs. Will he catch the band of thieves before they skip town? Will justice be served?

Too tempting not to read
The title/cover lures you in, and the story keeps things rolling hot. I love noir detective tales, and this one did not disappoint.

This was a random read as I have another book by this author on my TBR. This was super short so I thought it would be a good taste test to see if I would enjoy something longer. Unfortunately...I didn't enjoy it...at all. It's not a BAD book/story...I just didn't see any point to it. The characters didn't stand out as anything special and there was nothing interesting about the plot. Definitely not one I would recommend...but at least it was short.

I didn’t want this Short Story, Temptress, to end.
Kent, Grady, and Red are a trio that call attention to themselves and clear out Bar safes thanks to red skirts and shirts.
It’s Detective Reyes job to find these thieves before they hit the next bar.
This story is full of comical, passionate, and surprising red panty fun!
Kudos to author Fallon Raynes on a Five Star Story.

A cute, little, fast paced read. It's good for a short story. I'd love to see this turned into a longer story if the author felt like it!
