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, while 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.

For the amount of explaination we get about Anais' life you could really skip the autobiography. 2) The characters are really one dimensional and shallow. There is... more info
Where is Eric Jerome Dickey:
I am a fan of Eric Jerome Dickey and I have read all of his books. I must say I was surprised. This book was terrible it was just about sex and there was no storyline. I finished the book because I started it but I would not recommend the book. Eric Jerome Dickey please come back the true readers want an actual story. Washington, DC
It was my PLEASURE:
All I have to say is CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING. This book was great. I have to admit when he first came to the scene I was not fond of his books. They were a little to trivial and stereotypical for my taste, but now -- these characters have grown on me like when I first started watching Sex and the City. There is a level of familiarity that does not allow me to 'neatly' tuck this one away and read it on a rainy day -- NO, I finished this book within 3 days (unheard of for me because I'm... more info
