The co-owners of Pleasures, Diana Grady and Josie Reynolds, could not agree about employing Nick as their newest escort. Finally Josie convinced Diana to take a chance on him. Their working relationship quickly took secondary placement when a personal bond surprised them both.

Ms. Renee Knowles has written a dynamic book to start her new series. I was amazed at the plot and how it just exploded on the pages. This was a great story of love, trust and commitment. It also explored background situations and how they affected each of their daily lives. Ms. Knowles searched how the couple’s parents’ malfunctions made the two of them more vulnerable to each other.

There are several secondary characters that were important to the couple’s relationship. They were believable and responsible for some of the trials Nick and Diana had to face. The fact that Diana and Nick had issues from their past just added to the credibility of their problems. The alpha main characters were not above insecurity and self-doubting evident throughout the storyline. Throughout the book this author included several other scenarios which caused questions about where the next installment in this series would materialize.

Ms. Knowles has done a great job in this first installment of her new series, Pleasures, Inc. I assure you that you will, like me, hate to see the ending of this book. I also cannot wait for the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy not only serial books, but sensual ones. This is definitely a keeper. Kudos, Ms. Knowles.
