Helen Dawson is Mayor of Ferris, her small Nevada town. She a mother, pillar of the community, and an icon; Helen is the responsible one that everyone goes to with their problems. She has two grown children, both in college and lately she has felt something was missing in her life. When she reads an advertisement in a Las Vegas newspaper, she is intrigued by the promise of what they are selling. No one in her sleepy little town could guess that Helen is harboring a secret wish to feel like a woman again: to feel desirable to a man and be romanced. So Helen plans a weekend away from her responsibilities and contacts the Acme Escort Agency and to purchase the services of an escort.

Once in Vegas, Helen is hit with doubts until she sees a gorgeous young man across a crowded restaurant. He makes her want like she never has before, and his mental seduction sets Helen afire with longing. When she sees him again in the crowded hotel bar, he passes his card to her and suggests she may like his services while in town.

Fallon is a man that is sensual in every sense of the word; he is young, attractive, and confident, and likes what he sees in Helen. His work for Acme has introduced him to many women of all ages and sizes, but Helen strikes a chord in him; she piques his interest in a way few ever have before. He will introduce her to every sensual fantasy she may have, and some she may never have thought of, but will one weekend in Vegas be enough to satisfy them both? Only time will tell…

Pleasure is appropriately named for this is one woman’s journey to break free of the restraints binding her and enjoy being a desirable woman. Helen is a strong and independent woman, caught up in her everyday responsibilities so much that she has forgotten what it is to just be a woman: a desirable woman. When she meets Fallon and feels the desire he has for her, it is as if a light switch is turned on, releasing her inner seductress where she blossoms into the woman she was always meant to be. Fallon is a man every woman would love to have for her own. He is gorgeous, sexy, and attentive with a core of honor, warmth and caring that runs deep. He and Helen set the pages on fire with their intense and frequent sexual encounters, but the romance that is subtly interwoven by author Adrianna Dane garnered lasting praise from this reader. I highly recommend it.
