A Taste of Pleasure by Antoinette

A Taste of Pleasure

by Antoinette

What would you do with a considerable inheritance? For one woman with a voracious appetite for pleasure, it's all about satisfying her diverse tastes-in the kitchen and in the bedroom-in this scintillating erotic debut by Antoinette.

When London Shelby's beloved and unconventional grandmother passes away, leaving her millions of dollars and a philosophy of “pleasure without pressure,”the twenty-six-year old paralegal decides to live in a lavish and sensuous manner that honors the sybaritic spirit of the woman she looked up to.

Yet London is not without her demons, and her lifestyle opens her up to emotional upheaval when she falls for a married man. London's craving for Deacon Wayne is overwhelming, and when he moves abroad, her world begins to fracture.

Driven to sate the hunger that consumes her, London embarks on a string of clandestine affairs, fully giving in to the dark side of herself. But there are always consequences when one lives for the moment, and there's no guarantee that London will be able to emerge unscathed.

I was expecting to like this book so much but I didn't. I struggled with it so much! The main character, London, was so naive at the beginning and then she would sleep with anyone she found attractive. If it had been done well, I wouldn't have minded this but London was so irritating that I couldn't stand anything she would do. I want to stop reading at 10% but I continued to 25% and ended up skipping to 55% and still, nothing that would catch my attention. I ended up finishing the book but it never got better.

This book was filled with backstabbing characters, the writing was sloppy, the story wasn't captivating at all.
