I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Pleasure." It definitely ranks high on my list of EJD favorites and books in general. As a warning - this book is NOT for the faint of heart. If you're not comfortable with erotica, this is NOT the book for you.

That being said, this is a substantial read that will keep you engaged the entire time. The story itself is solid and its twists and turns are all well-written. The characters are well-developed and each has their own story that is explored. As mentioned before, this is a very sexual, hedonistic book. The sex scenes are graphic, but tasteful, and really do serve to complement the story.

I definitely recommend!
Reminded me too much of a Zane novel. Main character was a nympo, not real plot or story line.
OMG. He is the king. The King of whatever genre his books are in. Pleasure is the perfect title for this novel. so good. 7hrs 50mins
