About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey, “one of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century”* explores the depths of desire in this sensual blockbuster.

Born in Trinidad and living in Atlanta after a relationship gone bad, Nia Simone Bijou is an ambitious writer who has it all. Except for the one thing that'll give her the control she craves-and the power she deserves: absolute, uninhibited sexual satisfaction. Now, in the sweltering days and nights of summer, the heat is on. Nia's fantasies will become a reality-with man after man after man. She will shatter the limits of erotic love. She will open herself up to experiences she never dared before. And as her fantasies begin to spin out of control, she'll discover the unexpected price of the extreme.

Ratings and reviews

I did not like this book. I couldn't get pass the first 200 pages. It was horrifying nothing I expected from EJD. He usually writes so wonderful with characters filled with promise and meaning.. This is by far one of the worst books I have read this year. I liked the style of writing. THAT'S IT! It had a nice poetic feel to it. It started out really sexy, and very open. There were parts where I could feel just a tiny bit of pleasure. And Then... It got dirty. The sex was no longer erotic or sexy, it was dirty and nasty. Reading it made me feel uncomfortable at times and I thought that I would eventually throw up! (That is how disgusting it is) Ms. Tiptress PassionReads

I've been reading Eric's books for years and I live them. He's my favorite author. His work isn't like many other Urban fiction authors, his books require more brain work, and I absolutely love it all. And own them all.

Okay first off let me say I have been a eric jerome fan since high school 03 :) and I love him because when I am readings his boks its like watching
