4.0 out of 5 stars! I took a chance... and I'm glad I did. By Lisa - A Risque' Affair Book Blog on February 10, 2016 Format: Kindle Edition
Truth be told, my go to genre is usually New Adult. I don't normally pick up books in the Erotica category. I find that sometimes you get a lot of sex, without a lot of emotion or character development. That changed when I read Pleasure, Pain or Purpose by Al Daltrey.
This is the story of three friends navigating through life. Billie has lost the love of her life, Vicky learns secrets about her husband and Jasmin is put into a situation that could cost her a career and so much more. You get snapshots of life for all 3 women, in alternating chapters from their point of view. Although each woman goes through very different scenarios, you can't help but appreciate the bond they have.
Whenever I see a synopsis caution of kinky sex, I wonder if that's a warning that the scenes that don't contain sex will fall flat. I worry that the story is just filler and the main part of the story is... well... the kinky sex. That is NOT the case here. Sure, it contains BDSM but the story holds up on its own. We are given background on each character setting each scene up to weave 3 separate stories together. Each story is different, yet each working part contributes in a way that holds your attention until the very end.
This is part of a series. It does end in a cliffhanger. You are left with unanswered questions. But does that really matter? It gives the story time to sink in as well as gives you something to look forward to.
To Al Daltrey, Thanks for proving me wrong. And I'm glad I picked this one up. |
