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.

Love the voice of the reader

loved the way she read the book want more of her voice on his books

Should have read this a long time ago

It started off slow but I’m a EJD fan and this is his only book that I hadn’t read but have owned a physical copy for years. It started out slow but boy did it deliver! Gonna miss his writing.

Not my favorite EJD but still a good read

I own every single EJD book that he has published. I love EJD but this one was a little flat when it comes to plot line and character development. I wanted more insight more twists and turns. Most of the clinchers I figured out long before they occurred. In my mind Bijou was more developed from the last book. I loved her character but felt she was better developed in the previous book. It seems that EJD relied on all of the previous development and flatlined Bijou in this book. I also wanted more development of the other supporting characters. Despite all of this it is still a well written book and a good read. It will never be one of my fav. Maybe I shouldn't have read A Wanted Woman before this one😋

Empowering

The book was great. I loved how the women sought to satisfy their needs and not be concerned about the judgements of a man. I like the relationship between the mother and daughter. Can wait for the next book.

It’s so so!

This book was somewhat OK. It was entertaining and interesting but I wouldn’t really recommend reading it again.

can't wait

i have been looking for a author that will keep me rooted in his or her books and i must say with this book i am ready to continue on

Sexual

I’ve read many of EJD’s books and thought I started at his very first one. However, this book is that of a different kind of education on another level for me. It has left me with the fantasy of giving up everything here and move to France to learn their seductive tongue....so, toast to another fabulous read Eric. You are my most favorite author ever!

New fave

This book has hit home for me! I had to listen for a second time. Excellent book.

Was not as I expected

It had highs a low's. Very graphic sexually. Did not except that to the degree it was. The reader made it exciting.

It was ok. But that voice was terrible

The narrators voice was terrrrrrrrrrible at first but then you get over it. It’s ok.
