Publisher's Summary

From national best-selling author Rochelle Alers comes a sizzling, sensuous story of three diverse 30-something women whose lives are forever changed when they are invited to join the exclusive world of the Pleasure Seekers.

Ilene is a captivatingly beautiful supermodel, Faye is an award-winning advertising executive, and Alana is a brilliant editor for today's hottest fashion magazine. Now all three women are caught in the whirlwind of the super rich and famous. They find themselves the objects of the desires of every man; from movie stars, politicians, CEOs, and rock stars, to European royalty; men for whom there are no limits, nothing is too expensive, nothing is forbidden. From Manhattan to Paris to Southampton, their new worlds are a torrent of sensual delights and unlimited luxuries. But ultimately they realize that there's only one thing more satisfying than money and power: love.

Very Enjoyable

Based on the title and synopsis, I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book. To my surprise, I was totally captivated. I found myself loving and hating each of the main characters. In this book Alers manages to take readers into the lives of four individual women without over- or underdeveloping any one of them. Additionally, the narrator did a wonderful job breathing life into Alers' words. I will definitely keep an eye out for other titles by both this author and narrator.

Interesting Story

Wow - I wasn't quite sure what this story was about based on the title - but got sucked in about 10 minutes afterwards. I really enjoyed this book, as it told stories of 4 women (not just the 3 inidicated). Each story stood on it's on and had lots of drama, romance, etc. Ms. Alers is one of my fave authors, so when I saw this audio, I had to purchase. Gabra Zackman also did a good job with the narraration. I'd say more, but that would give the premise of the story away. If you want a good "women's" story with some intrigue - go for it.

Boredom finders

The first two hours of this book are so monotonous and dull that I'd rather be listening to just about anything else. The plot has so far managed to be both far fetched and unimaginative - 3 beautiful women of color whose men have all proved disappointing will now be paid up to $5000 a day to spend time with rich men. The problem is, everyone is so aloof and professional they are virtually indistinct and completely unconnected and uninvolving. I couldn't care less what happens to any of them. I also think the publisher could have gotten an Africain Americain to narrate as the pasty midwestern accent just makes a flat story flatter.
A sad waste of time and money.

I liked it!

This was my first experience with this author, and I really liked it. It's not your typical romance story, although there are some definite "steamy" elements. Despite the pronounced differences in the characters, it was interesting and entertaining to see how they were drawn to each other and interfaced in each other's lives. I rarely listen to books twice, but I will probably make an exception with this one.

A Pleasure to read

Well written, vivid characters, great content that is meaningful. Recommended read. I could not stop listening. Thought this would be a book with not much substance but gave it a chance - - was I WRONG! I have recruited several new audible members who wanted to purchse this one.
