Pleasure Planet

Eros by Claire Thompson
Asia Loran was finally going to take a much needed and deserved vacation. She was going to spend a week having her sexual desires met. The vacation did not come cheap, so Asia did not expect to be made a sexual slave to a man who looked very much like her first love. Ronan was able to sense her deepest most secret fantasies and seemed intent on making each one come true. Although only together a short time, Asia’s feelings for Ronan are intense. When he is suddenly taken from her, Asia misses him terribly.

This interesting tale deals with what happens when we get what we wish for. Only wanting a week of pleasure, Asia never intends to care for her fantasy man. The emotional connection between Asia and Ronan will draw you in as they each find themselves in a relationship they do not want to lose.

Tristan’s Woman by Beverly Havlir
Determined to complete their mission, Tristan and his friends and fellow soldiers, Logan and Jed, have come to the Pleasure Palace. Tristan never expected to fall into lust with Ava(,) a dancer at the Pleasure Palace. Ava is intent on saving her brother, even if it means that she will be given to the ruler of another planet as a sexual toy. Ava feels sexually connected to Tristan and does not want to risk her brother’s life, but is unable to stay away from Tristan.

Tristan’s Woman is a story of attraction and the lust that comes with it. Neither Ava nor Tristan are looking for love, but they are also unwilling to let go of the new, budding relationship. The intense emotional and sexual connection that Tristan and Ava feel makes this an enjoyable and unforgettable story.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable anthology that you will not want to miss. Ms. Thompson and Ms. Havlir have done a wonderful job in giving a look into a very erotic future. Each story explores what happens when two very different people find love in a very unexpected place. The sexual and emotional connection between each couple binds them together.
