ETO Best Erotic Book Brand 2010 --Erotic Trade Only Magazine
Product Description
If one call could set you on a trail to the heart of your darkest fantasy, would you make it. Charlotte does, and her bold decision propels her into a world where no desire is too outrageous, decadent or extravagant to be satisfied for a price. Her own fantasy life merges with reality when she is hired to work for the shadowy organisation she first encountered as a client. She organises an array of wild set pieces involving banquets, film productions, mansions full of pleasure slaves, as well as thoroughly researching those requests that chime with her own kinky tastes. Two men, one woman, and every sexual fantasy imaginable these are the ingredients that make up the business of pleasure.

Aladdin had a Genie in a lamp; you now have Justine Elyot.
Two men want you to be happy. Very happy. Extremely happy, as a matter of fact. They want to make all your dreams come true and by Gosh, do they succeed !
All the characters in that novel choose to take the aforementioned men up on their offer. They go boldly where so few people have gone before, namely beyond the reservations and objections many have when it comes to sex. They revendicate their bodies' rights. They demand satisfaction... And all their pleasures are yours.
For that's the trick to good erotica. For the writer not to leave you, the reader, outside in the cold. You want to be there, with them; you want to breathe the same air, drink the same wine, touch the same velvet (or latex) and kiss the same lips.
Justine Elyot offers you just that. She presents you with these essentially likeable characters, far from the standard-issue cardboard perverts that sometimes people erotica novels, and invites you to follow them, closely, on their journeys.
The characters talk like you, think the same things as you, make the same mistakes we've all made (or would all make in the same circumstances). They are exquisite and witty, delightful and naughty.
They will interest you, they'll make you laugh (quite a lot, actually), they'll make you empathise and, above all, they'll make you come... for more.
Just make a wish and click on "add to basket". The Genie will take care of everything.

Being a big fan of Justine's previous book, On Demand (Black Lace), I was very excited to get my hands on her latest release, The Business of Pleasure. This, like the author's previous book, isn't a novel. It's a collection of short stories written to a theme.
The main protagonist in the book is Charlotte. Looking for some spice in her life, she signs up to have her deepest, dirtiest fantasy fulfilled by some shadowy agency which specialises in such things. She gets what she wants, and a whole lot more. Turns out the bosses running the company have an interest in her, over and above taking her money. And this is where the real fun begins. Charlotte winds up working for the guys, helping to make other people's fantasies come true.
However, Charlotte is considered to be so much more than an employee and things quickly become deeper and darker than she ever imagined possible. Is Charlotte in over her head, or can she handle the business of pleasure?
Well, what a fab book! I don't want to give too much away, but I definitely think it works as a collection of stories. I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy The Business of Pleasure quite as much as On Demand, but that's purely because some of the themes included in the book aren't to my tastes. But that's not to say they're not to yours. There's lots of sex (naturally), spanking, bondage, swinging and much more.
The writing is superb; it flows wonderfully, the characters are very alive and the dialogue is sparky. I whizzed through the book in a matter of days, it was that interesting and easy to read.
If BDSM and darker themes are your bag, then you should definitely grab yourself a copy of this book. Immediately.

As always, Justine Elyot writes the best BDSM. She has a wonderful sense of humor. Her heroines are always sophisticated and funny. Her Doms are always strict, but playful, with an ornery streak. I love Justine's dialogue, because it's always so smart and quick. Her smut it hot, and there's always such a strong sense of fun in her books, they always make me grin from ear to ear.
The Business of Pleasure is about an agency that caters to woman's fantasies. The main character Charlotte goes to work there for two very different Doms that enjoy testing her limits. I love MMF stories. LOL
Anyway, this is a fun sexy romp. I loved it!
