Praise for ‘The Bride Stripped Bare’:
‘Written with grace and beauty. A brave and honest book that lingered with me.’ Jane Green
‘Wonderfully sensuous.’ Independent
‘Simply too beautiful…a mesmerising and disquieting novel that demands to be read again.’ Vogue
‘Sexual awakening for the dark horse in us all.’ Tatler
Product Description
An intimate celebration of women and friendship from international bestselling author Nikki Gemmell.
‘The Bride Stripped Bare’ exposed female desire as no other book had; raw, intoxicating and breathtakingly libidinous.
‘Pleasure’ looks set to do the same with more secret women's business – dealing candidly with everything from Brazilian waxes to 'secret' underwear, from coping with broken hearts to what makes a perfect partner (a checklist to cut out and keep), from advice on the friends who flatten you (frenemies) to the importance of empathy.
Both bold and intimate, ‘Pleasure’ is a book Nikki Gemmell says she looked for as a gift for a cherished friend – and never found. So she decided to write it herself.
Encased in a stunning design package with beautiful feminine illustrations, this is a book every woman will want to share with her best friend, aunt, sister or fairy godmother.

This book is a lovely gift to others or to yourself. Filled with insightful stories, odd tips and inspiring quotes it's a real treat. The pages are thick and ranging in colours - pinks, red, grey or cream. It covers many topics in a womans life that many don't dare to cover and she does it with sensitivity and ease.
Not a typical Nikki Gemmell so if you've read her other novels then don't expect the same haunting beauty, this is a much warmer and softer tone and often completely different to her usual stuff.

I'm not normally for books that insist on giving you advice, but my mother insisted that I read this one, and I ended up spiriting it away with me to the other side of the world.
It's so uplifting, and so many times I have thought "phew, so I'm not the only one".
Definitely a book that every woman should keep in her handbag.

I've loved all of Gemmell's books and while I was disappointed that this wasn't a novel, I found the book amazing, comforting and difficult to put down. It asks the questions and provides the answers to those thoughts and feelings I was sure only I felt. It was wonderful to realise that I wasn't alone. I immediately bought copies for all my girlfriends and it opened lines of conversation that we'd never explored before.
I love the honesty and raw emotions of this book and felt I got to know myself better by reading it. I'd definitely recommend this book for all women. It's a wonderful present for a girl friend, especially if you just want to let them know you care.
