Book Review: Pleasure by Eric Jerome Dickey



When crippled by an insatiable appetite, the hunt for fulfillment carries a significant quest to quickly satisfy ones fervent desires. For Nia Simone Bijou, a successful writer residing in Atlanta, the thirst for Pleasure drives her sexual curiosity from the lifeless pages of a fictitious book, to the tangible corridors within her silken boudoir. Synonymous to the adventures of her personal idol Anais Nin, Nia embarks upon a tantalizing journey to accommodate her body's silent call for a life of uninhibited erotica.

Through her eyes you are invited into a world of risk, fantasy, seduction and consequence. Mark and Karl, her identical sins and Kiki Sunshine, her unexpected inamorata, aid in Nia's desire to convert her unrestrained fantasies into a quenchable reality. Yet remember, a life without limits is the perfect enemy to a world with open reservations. As with any salacious desire, the heat behind Nia's irrepressible actions evoke a consequential promise of an intruding nightmare.

The answer to each page reads like a bridge towards everyone's unspoken fantasy. Dickey doesn't disappoint when portraying the hidden potential that rests in the whisper of an extreme intimate encounter. The rhythm within each passage reflects the rapacious hunger that drives one towards the peak of sexual insanity when on a search for a resounding Pleasure. Although the plot takes a quiet backseat to the celebration of erotica, there's never a dull moment or a pause in the heat to give the reader an opportunity to dry the sweat from their own hungry eyes.

Be aware, you may be easily swept away by the silent undertone of your own burning desires as they intermingle within the rising steam of Dickey's vivacious storytelling. To say the least, pleasure is an erotic lullaby teasing you with a sensual song through out the long and restless night. It'll hold you captive within its pages, until your own mind chooses to awaken itself from the fantasy to press onward unto the dawn of a new chapter.
