Pleasure's Powerhouse Kindle Edition

by T Onyx (Author), AlTonya Washington (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 37 ratings
Malawi Croyden, Hamri Shaw and Teague Specter have been friends since
the days of their rough childhoods. As adults they travel in the world of the
elite. Teague and Hamri are billionaire corporate giants and Malawi runs
one of the most exclusive hedonistic resorts in the world. Black Paradise
caters to the fantasies of the obscenely wealthy. No request is taboo and the
resort is known in only the most lavish circles. Revered for her discretion
and grace under fire persona, Malawi's fortitude is tested when the ghosts she'
s kept silent for years demand to be heard. She'll need the combined strength
of her considerably powerful male friends to get her through it. Having lusted
after her all their lives, Hamri and Teague are prepared to give Mali all that
she needs...and more.

    From the moment you turn the first page you will not be able to put this book down until you are the end. Malawi Croyden, Hamri Shaw and Teague Specter have been
    friends since the days of their rough childhoods.

    Malawi runs a exclusive resorts along with her silent partners Hamri & Teague. Hamri & Teague are billionaire in their own rights and they would do anything for Malawi. On this resort any and all fantasy come to life what ever your heart desire is granted on this resorts. The guys hadn't heard from Malawi so they decided it was time to plan a trip to see here. Malawi has been having these dreams that brought back memories she rather forget.

    Can't say to much about the story because if I did it would spoil the story, but as I said earlier you will not be able to put this book down and yes it is HOT..........lets just say that Hamri, Teague and Malawi all enjoy their PLEASURE.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great writing and wonderful story

    This is a great erotica story. I loved all the characters in this story, including her trifling mama. The development of the characters made me want to know more about them and to know this story. I could not put this book down. I think I read this in three or four days (I had to go to work and sleep) ***spoilers*** The backdrop of Black Paradise really helped bring this story to life. I loved the relationship between the three friends. I hoped it turned out different, but it was hot!!! Malawi's journey to deal with her trauma is a common one and was highlighted very well in this story. The fact that so many of the people in this story did awful things to each other that stayed hidden and then came to a private island to indulge in dirty fantasies they didn't want anyone to know about was not lost on me. I think it was a great addition to the story.****End of spoilers**** If you want an erotic story you can sink your teeth into, this is the book for you.

    Wow this was truly erotica. From the product description I really didn't expect the whole menage angle, but it surely was a welcomed treat. Mali, Teague, & Hamri, boy they really got in on, where ever and when ever they could. I loved how the sex scenes were all about pleasuring Mali, the boys were never selfish, and always made sure she was satisfied. No two sex scenes were the same, and they all were really hot. The whole angle about her abuse as a child was really heart wrenching, but it really added to the storyline and explained why she behaved the way she did. The ending was a cliff hanger, so I hope there will be a sequel and very soon.

    I really am torn here. I guess I gave it five stars because Ham, Tea and Mali were stupid hot, individually and as a group. OKAY.....I'm not against erotica in any way; I just don't normally read it. That being said maybe it was just me. I wasn't put off by the action per se; It was more the idea of so much fluid swapping. I don't want to say too much about the book to give away TMI but to me I was a little put off. All in all I enjoyed it the book and would try something else by this author.

    2.0 out of 5 stars didn't enjoy; found it quite distasteful
    Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2011

    I really wanted to like this book, as I have enjoyed many T.Onyx/Altonya Washington books. This book, however, was simply not for me. The book was just too trashy for me: molestation, incest, sex for power, blackmail, etc. I never expected all of this in one of the author's works. Most disappointing is that the menage between Mali, Hamri, and Teague doesn't seem like a loving and committed menage. It just disgusted me. So, I can't recommend this book.

    What I liked about this book is that if you took out the hot scenes, there was still a good story. The author addresses a serious issue that can have long term effects and puts a unique spin on the impact of this issue on the female protagonist. The temporary solution only creates more problems that won't be solved at the end of this book. I am so looking forward to the sequel.
