Pleasure

by Eric Jerome Dickey

Pleasure Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Is obsession required to experience the ultimate in sexual fulfillment? Dickey searches for the answer to that question in his latest steamy romance (after Waking with Enemies) via Nia Simone Bijoux, a ghostwriter recently moved to Atlanta. A devout Anas Nin fan, Nia's in hot pursuit of the perfect lay. Enlivened by sometimes catchy narration ('Self-pleasuring was popcorn.... My body was telling me it needed steak'), Nia's adventures with 'identical sins,' twins Mark and Karl, introduce her to the dubious delights of threesomes and more, leading eventually to a showdown with Mark's wife, Jewell Stewark, a TV anchorwoman. Marred somewhat by Nia's pretentious airs (her self-involvement can be crippling to the narrative), this erotic potboiler still delivers its message that saying 'yes' to pleasure can also lead to self-enlightenment." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

WOW!!! this has got to be your best yet. i understood what she was going through with logan, not being connected the way she would have liked. someone who not only could stimulate her mind but her boby as well. when she met up with the twins, i was so caught up in this novel i had to go and read it again. it was like a porno flick but on paper. you had my attention from the beginning. i know that there has to be at least 3 more books. you left us hanging

Pleasure is an amazing story of a woman in search of self. Nia Simone is a strong, independent and fearless woman. She is comfortable in her own skin and she is unapologetic for embracing her sexuality. Nia Simone rejects a marriage proposal from a man who on paper appears to be any woman’s Mr. Right and she instead goes on this journey of self discovery. Along the way she has encounters with people, men as well as a woman, each encounter leaving her bolder than it found her. The longer she engages on this pleasure trip, the louder the sound of the pain train becomes. As I was reading, I knew something or someone was going to come along to rock her world. I wanted to yell “Something wicked this way comes!” What eventually ends up happening was something so unexpected I had to go back and re-read the chapter before it to try and figure out what I had missed.

I loved this book because so many times I found myself gasping out loud. As with most of Dickey’s books, I felt as though I knew these characters. I felt as thought I was watching a movie. End the end, Nia seems to realize the power and the beauty of her feminine and sexual nature.

This has got to be my favorite EJD novel to date. I never wanted to put this book down. I saw so much of who I am in this character. Some of the things she said reminded me of words I have spoken.

This book is very well written and is an absolute MUST HAVE.

If you do not already own this book, stop what you are doing and order it now!
