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.

why do they have a white woman reading I can't get

let me tell you Eric Jerome dickey is probably one of the most highly rated lovable great reads I have ever read in my entire life now let me also tell you that reading the Gideon series The midnight series that just put you in the mood for more now than you come over here and you have this white woman rating and it f**** up your whole $20 book that you just purchased do not buy it just because the narrator sounds like a f****** robot terrible terrible the story I had to buy a hard copy just so that I can reread it in my mind cost me $25 the storyteller messes up the entire read whoever this white woman is reading don't let her touch another Eric Jerome dickey book.

A Must read/listen

This book kept my interest the entire time. Vocals were great. There were a few“Oh, no” moments but several moments of “yes.”

😱☺️

This was a roller coaster ride of emotion. I love how the author played with my feelings. One minute I have butterflies in your stomach. Then my heart is being yank out of my throat. Then I’m in heat.

The narration is difficult to listen to

I literally had to stop listening. I love this author but the choice of narration was poor. I feel like I'm listening to a robot that lacks empathy. So, Ib just wasted a credit because I can't sit through this.
As a Trini, I can excuse the horrible accent, but I depend on Audible to paint the picture for me.

Racy

Like all Eric Jerome Dickey’s books the story is captivating as if you were right there witnessing everyone’s move. This was definitely a book I could have enjoyed listening to on my own, but it was even better with my partner. I enjoyed knowing the characters background their weaknesses and strengths. I was wrapped up in their messy and complicated world, but I do not regret it. I read this book on a vacation day where we had to cancel our outdoor plans due to the weather and I’m so glad it happened that way. It was the perfect setting.

Just as expected

Eric Jerome Dickey is an amazing author. This is my first time using Audible, but I’ve read every book he’s written. This book had me from the very beginning and is by far one of my favorites!!

Unpleasant

While I thought that Ms Spain did a good job with this book, the story itself was no good. I figured it would be erotic, so that wasn't too much of a surprise. However, everyone in this book is laughable. Nia is a terrible person. The twins are awful. Even the putupon wife, Jewel, is a miserable, vindictive woman. I just couldn't with them.

Moving on, this book needs a HARD edit. I think with some time, I could probably cut about six hours off the running time of this book.

With both the characters and the overwritten dialogue, I could not recommend this book to anyone in good faith.
