Not as good as Three of a Kind, but enjoyable. Love's Lovely Counterfeit is the weakest and I enjoyed Serenade the most (there must be something about his opera novels.) Both Serenade and the Butterfly are interesting, because he tackles issues that today, and most certainly at the time, make people uncomfortable, and tackles them in a straightforward casual way. I personally also enjoyed the author's commentary, in either a foreword or an afterword, I don't recall which.
