Publisher's summary

How realistic is it to believe that one lover can satisfy a woman's every fantasy?

Nia Simone Bijou is a woman who has it all - and is driven by the desire for more. Born in Trinidad, reared in Los Angeles, living in Atlanta, Nia is a writer, a thinker, and a woman in conflict. She's dealing with two sides of her Gemini self, feeling as if there are two women living inside her, both struggling for domination.

One side of Nia is a logical yet heartbroken person who has never let go of an old pain. The other side is a sensual woman who will not let her rest, desiring intimacy and sexual freedom, demanding pleasure.

In the sweltering heat of July, loneliness, desire, and a struggle with both the sensual self and fantasy inspire Nia to become sexually adventurous, meeting lovers who arouse her in diverse ways, lovers who give her unimaginable experiences, generous lovers who desire to please her as much as she desires to satisfy them. Fantasies spiral out of control, and with her life on the line, Nia discovers that pleasure does not come without pain.

Filled with passion, populated with characters that are sexually uninhibited, Pleasure is an unforgettable journey into a free-spirited world.

PURE TORTURE!!...but in a GOOD way

Would you listen to Pleasure again? Why?

This was my very first audible book. I would listen to it over and over. Eric Jerome Dickey is one of my favorite writers and I love anything he puts out. I've never experienced a bad book from him and I do not expect to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Nia Simone Bijou is my favorite character. She is open and free, willing to sacrifice everything to find herself.

What about Susan Spain’s performance did you like?

She is very articulate and can change from character to character flawlessly.

If you could rename Pleasure, what would you call it?

Loved It!!

I really enjoyed this book because Eric Jerome Dickey did a wonderful job of explaining and describing the charcters and the seens in the book. This is not a love story more like erotica! I hope there is a part two to this book. I would suggest this book to anybody just put your seat beat on for the ride!

"HOT"

What did you love best about Pleasure?

Loved all of it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Pleasure?

When Nia was with both of the brothers.

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

EXCITEMENT!!!!

If you could take any character from Pleasure out to dinner, who would it be and why?

The brothers cause they both were SEXY & HOT!!!

Any additional comments?

Just reading the reviews I was a little leery about getting the book but, I'm glad I did. I like to read reviews & go off of them but, this is one book I'm glad I decided to order it & not go off the mixed reviews. This is one of the best stories I have listened to in a while.

The words become scenes...

As you watch the story unfold. I anticipated the excitment in every chapter. It was hard to stop listening.
