Product Description
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.

Erotic to the "n"th degree... April 3, 2008
20 out of 21 found this review helpful

Well... Eric is back with his most erotic and emotionally driven novel yet. The eroticism and plot do a strange dance. Throughout most of this novel the sexuality/eroticism is the driving force while the actual plot takes a very close backseat. Fans of his will recognize this and it's a little "strange". What drew me to Eric was his Autobahn fast plot with really tastefully done sex scenes. In `Pleasure' it's more Autobahn fast sex/eroticism sex with a really tastefully done plot.

`Genevieve' stands out because of shocking sexuality of the 1st chapter... the 1st chapter in this book will make that seem like Junie B. Jones! Nia is a flawed, educated, sexual, confused, talented, crazy, insatiable, women who is trying not to be so...well... flawed, confused, crazy, and insatiable! She is looking for pleasure and she finds it with 2 brothers (2 TWIN brothers)! Well... at first... 2 brothers! She takes it to a whole. Nuther. Le-val with other characters.

Anais Nin's work is a strong influence in this book and Eric does a wonderful job of mixing their styles. This book doesn't have the classic "wtf" twists that makes Eric's books so good. No, this book has something different. That difference will depend on who reads the book. For me, this book was pure erotica. Pure meaning it permeates the story, your mind wanders on what you think will happen next, or rather what you WANT to happen next, Eric leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination, and makes you squirm.

Nia will make you laugh especially when she continually irked by the grammar (or lack thereof) of her ex. Depending on what side of the tracks you're on you will feel sorry for Logan or you will want to murder him. Karl and Mark... I think they need therapy. I know the story was about Nia but what was up with those two? Seriously... what the heck happened to them to cause them to do some of the things that they did/do? It was good that they were there to give her some yoni-help but those two brothers need Jesus!

I didn't really get Jewell or Kenya. Their parts in this story left me wanting. Also, Eric must have a GPS implanted in his head because the man takes you through a virtual map that almost scares you how accurate it is. His descriptions of the islands, the food, the weather, the storm that forces Jewell and Nia to spend time together, the relationship with her mother (wow), her feelings about Karl and Mark, her relationship with KiKi Sunshine, and everything else. This is where Eric shines and shine he does!

I gave this book 5 stars because it really is VERY good, despite the absence of his trademark air-tight perfect plot. Oh, and one more thing... big ups to Mr. Dickey for having Karl drive a Jeep Wrangler! He didn't say whether or not it was a `Rubicon' but still made me happy! :-)

EJD has put me to sleep yet again. I bought this book yesterday because I am a huge fan, but his last two books have done nothing for me. I've read three chapter and I can't take it anymore.

When I bought this book, I was looking for something along the lines of "Chasing Destiny" wherein it took off from the first chapter. I can't believe I've wasted my money, yet a second time on this author.

Although I've read the comments of the other two people, I can't agree with them on how this book is written. I don't even want to finish reading it, just as I did with "Sleeping with Enemies."

I apologize to all the over reviewers before me and after me, but I don't think that I will be supporting EJD for a very long time to come.

I hate to say it but this was his worst book. I love Erotic Fiction & EJD, but get to the point why don't you. I couldn't get to 100 pages before I started reading another book. He could have wrote this book in less the 200 pages. This book was just to discriptive, and long winded. I hope his next book is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a good Read until his next Book, Check out books by Noire, Allison Hobbs, AlSaadiq Banks & Quentin Carter, True Page Turners!!!!!!!!!

Eric Eris Eric...............
This book was so wanna-be Zane. This is not what I am used to reading from him and I hope that he gets back to actual plots instead of cheap over the top sexual fantasies !!!

I'm not even to page 200 in this horrible book as of yet and it's not looking good. The only reason I'm attempting to finish it is because, against warning of a good friend, I purchsaed it for almost 20 bucks. I'm conveinced the people on here that stated they liked the book, were hired by Mr. Dickey himself to promote. I am/was a HUGE fan before this "book" was released. Sleeping wth Enenmies and Waking with Strangers were GREAT works....He should have left this one alone. And though I'm not to page 200 yet, it seems quiet predictable where this plot is going.
