Length: 14 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's summary

With each step I eased down a hallway filled with grand arches. A swanky red carpet led to the meeting area, where men waited for their dates. We exited the undressing room as if we were at a Hollywood premiere.

New York Times best-selling author Eric Jerome Dickey returns to a character he created in his celebrated novel of erotic daring, Pleasure. Four years have passed in the life of Nia Simone Bijou, and she is approaching the height of her artistic powers. A film she has written is poised for international success, the studio is eager for a sequel, and the media are fascinated by her work. Yet her imaginative mind is wandering.

Though Nia is much desired - by the mysterious, often unavailable international businessman Prada, with whom she enjoys unprecedented attraction; by the fit local veteran, Brett, who puts her through her paces, most often during grueling road training sessions - her first love, Chris, is never far from her thoughts. When Nia receives an invitation to the exclusive pleasure palace known as Decadence, her romantic world gives way to an abundance of sensory experience she could never have imagined.

Even as the Hollywood premiere of her potentially career-changing film approaches, she is drawn further into this forbidden lifestyle. Under the influence of glamorous, sensuous new friends, Nia abandons all caution, and her ability to balance truth and fantasy becomes increasingly blurred. Will her relationship with Prada survive countless temptations? Will her professional achievements be given over to impulsive indulgence? Does decadence know any bounds?

Eric Jerome Dickey’s newest tale of excess - and its sky-high costs - is a thrilling portrait of a glittering world.

Very good book

Glad I decided to take a listen. As some of the other reviewers said the book did get a little repetitive but not so much so that it was distracting. I listened to the first book, this was a little different focus, learning a little more about nia. Nice

Beware VERY Erotic....

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I loved the story line, the sex scenes were very vivid....

What was one of the most memorable moments of Decadence?

The honey and hot tea....I must try that one day!

What does Susan Spain bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love how she reads as if she is actually in the scene....As if she is NIA. Her accents are great too!

Who was the most memorable character of Decadence and why?

Nia of course!

sex sexy read....

after the first book pleasure I had to read it. although it was 85% sex I still enjoyed it.

Love it!

I loved the stories about what happens at Decadence. I listened to this and could not stop.

Too Wordy And Not Satisfying

First, I would like to say, "We get it...you know your way around word play." My goodness, I listened to Pleasure and was hoping Decadence would have closed this round and a round ramble of words, but nope it didn't. I found myself fast forwarding the long explanations of history and overly dramatic fashion show scenes.

The erotic scenes were good and Susan Spain was awesome at bringing this piece of work to life. Susan is what kept me here, otherwise I would have stopped. I finally just jumped to the end and was disappointed that Mr. Dickey used all of these mind blowing words that are sexy in their own way, but he wasn't able to reach down inside of himself and have Nia mature with a man. A man who would embrace her wholeheartedly and please her in her own elements. How can a mind as brilliant as Dickey's not bring this ecstasy full circle?

Granddiva 02

I'm sorry to have to say I hated this book it would be different if I was a nymphomaniac but I'm not book was boring as all get-out and I usually enjoy his books but this was horrible performance was good the story was just boring better luck next time.

Loved it! Want More..

This is an amazing book and story I truly wish I known about places like this in real life... Amazing I read it first before I listened and I love it and want for more...

Nia Simone

She's too smart for her own good. She's very indecisive. She let's good people walk in and out of her life. But I guess that's what makes her unique. She tries to assert herself as a strong independent woman. She is independent without a doubt , but she's far from being strong. She has too many feelings towards too many people. She reflects too much on the past as well. Overall this was a wonderful piece of literature. Would recommend but only to a certain demographic of people.

way to sexual it needs more of a plot not just sx

way to long just being about sex you can write better than just sex books and it didn't even get me in the mood rewrite thx tho...

Good sexy read

It was so good, it was hard for me to leave the story to go and do my work. I usually don't purchase any nonfiction book. I'm more of an autobiography person, but this story seemed so real. I really enjoyed it. I just got my hands on some of the authors older books to see if I enjoy them as much as I enjoyed this one. I think I want Susan Spain to have a french accent and be the voice of my cars gps .
