Four years after the events of Pleasure Nia Simone Bijou is determined to satisfy her high-octane sexuality. Sure, the best-selling writer has fond thoughts for her recent lovers Prada and Bret, but her smoldering inner cravings drive her to seek much more. "I wanted love and the beauty of sex. I demanded it sinful yet classy, loving but raunchy." Message to Nia: Come on down to Club Decadence, a pleasure palace where group sex is expected and welcomed. Her ecstasy fulfillment gets complicated by ex-lover Chris who dumped Nia but now shows up at Decadence wanting to reconnect. Inside Decadence everyone is rich and gorgeous but the sex isn't just hot, it's hawt.
VERDICT Dickey's writing can meander into clunky dialog and long-winded decryptions, but his legions of fans seem to forgive those drawbacks. It's all about the sex. and Dickey certainly has a talent for creating ultra erotic sex scenes. Purchase multiples, Dickey's widespread fans will place beaucoup reserves. [See Prepub Alert, 10/8/12.]
