“You can’t put toothpaste back inside the tube.” pg. 101 Pleasure
This quote struck me because it defines how I feel when I read an Eric Jerome Dickey novel. Although I swore off his work after reading Sleeping With Strangers (not because it was bad but because he annoyed me with page after page of in-depth descriptions and then expected me to go out and buy a part II); I found myself searching bookstores, calling up “reading” friends, and traveling to three libraries in search of Pleasure. Why?...more

Pleasure
“I would like to drink your bath water” exclaimed says the guy from the W. “I piss in my bath water” Nia whispered. Pleasure is a book about a girl who has a problem and she likes to give herself away. She is looking for love and finding it in all the wrong places, so she has sex to fill where the love isn’t.
The book so far that I am currently reading right now is Pleasure by Eric Jerome Dickey. This book is an adult book. I would recommend this book to Valerie Oyibo because she likes...more

I Need Twins!
This sexually charged novel is appropriately titled - 'Pleasure.' Honestly, I almost put this book down for good several times. The beginning was rather slow. Only at the urging of others did I keep reading. After the introduction of the twin brothers did the story actually start moving and became interesting. Overall, the story was good. However, I was disappointed in the ending. With a slow beginning and disappointing ending, this is a book I’d recommend but more so as a library r...more

Recommends it for: grown folks looking for a good read

Okay, I've read several reviews on this book that were on either side of the spectrum... either people really loved it, or they really hated it. To be honest, there were points on both sides that I could agree with. However, when I really sat down and thought about this book, I found the genius in Eric Jerome Dickey's writing, and grew to appreciate him more because of it.
Any fan of EJD knows that he writes about everything... love, crime, deception... the list goes on. So you really have to tak...more

I am very iffy about Eric Jerome Dickey. I loved 'Genevieve' and 'Sleeping With Strangers' but everything else always feel blah to me. Such was the case with 'Pleasure'. It was VERY longwinded, filled with a lot of unnecessary detail (thanks to this novel, I now know which route to take from Atlanta to Greensboro, North Carolina lol). I'm pretty sure they could have cut out 200 pages easy. I didnt quite understand the main character, but I'm going to chalk that up to EJD being a man and trying t...more

This read is cool.....too long for the subject matter for my particular taste, yet a GoodRead nevertheless. Do not get Mi wrong it’s not extremely explicit, but it dragged on in too many spots and just should not have been so long, but that’s just for my taste in particular.

2 1/2 stars. I SO wanted to love this book. Erotica, from a male author? Thought it would be an interesting POV, but then he goes and writes it from the POV of a female character.
Okay, fine. Still on board. Surprisingly, he gets most (if not all) of the sensations right. A set of identical twins, or as the character dubs them, identical sins. Hot menage sex, hot F/F sex, more hot menage sex. There was also the interesting look at black life in Atlanta among the people who've emigrated from the C...more

I had never hear of this author and downloaded from my library without knowing anything about it. What a surprise- initially you think this is a story simply about the heroine giving and receiving sexual pleasure and boy is there a lot of pleasuring going on-with brothers.
It is her journey and theirs to a degree understanding what they want and need out of their lives. Very hot and smexy read, with a realistic ending.
There is only one scene which I thought would not/could not possibly happen tow...more

I was torn between two and three star on this one. I am an advid EDJ fan, but I almost gave up on this book several times. The book did not pick up and really grab my attention until around page 200...that's about half way through the book.
Some parts of the book bored me. Everything about the main had to do with sex and her arousal and sexual thoughts, feelings and desires. EVERYTHING in the book had to deal with sex. After a while, I just started to skim the 10 page sex narratives.
I think that...more

Ummm wow! I have read just about all of EJD books. This book had me aroused the whole entire time. Very well written. It's amazing that when women are exploring their sexual side we are labeled everything but the child of GOD. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK PLEASE DO! Do you know the difference of being in love and being in lust??? Being fucked and being made love too????

This book was sensual, seductive, mouth watering, tantalizing, orgasmic, and erotically poetic. The best novel about seduction I've ever read. Want to embark on a sensory overload into literary erotica then this is your novel! Absolutely brilliant!
