I Know How to Pick 'Em, by Lawrence Block
More from Dangerous Women--I Know How to Pick 'Em is one that I kind of wonder if it qualifies. Yes, the lady definitely has intentions, but I wonder if she really knew as well as the protagonist thought that she could carry them off. To be dangerous you have to have bad thoughts and be able to carry them out. Now the protagonist (a guy), he really is dangerous. 2 stars but almost fun.
