Lysandra Keates is running out of options. Her father is dead, her mother is ill, and her efforts to find respectable employment have ended in failure. With her small savings bleeding away, she swallows her pride - and her terror - and turns to Vivien Manning, an infamous courtesan, to match her with a wealthy protector. For years, Viscount Andrew Callis has lived a monastic existence at his country estate, hardening his body against the snobbish, lazy young man he once was, hardening his heart against grief over the deaths of his wife and infant son.

When Vivien asks him to spend one month training a young woman in the ways of a mistress, his mind resists . . . but his body responds with an ache he thought long dead. As Andrew begins his gentle tutelage, he finds himself falling under the spell of Lysandra's innocent charms. And as they give in to the powerful hunger, the last thing Andrew ever expected, or wanted, forms between them. An emotional connection that could carry them well past the training period - if only Andrew can open his heart to the possibility of love.

Just so predictable. No depth. Not sexy. Not romantic. Narrator was okay but story was so blah.

Boring and predictable

What did you love best about An Introduction to Pleasure?

It is truly a love story. Oh there's a lot of juicy sex but the story is there. I really felt sorry for the decision Lysandra had to make but it turned out for the best. Andrew and Lysandra made a good couple.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the way the story developed. This could have been considered an audio porn story, but it was so much more. What happened to these two characters prior to their meeting made it interesting. Also, I enjoyed finding out why Andrew didn't want to get close to another woman.

What about Carmen Rose’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed it.

A good narrator is important to any audible book & this one was great!! Jess Micheals writes wonderful stories that are more then just erotic. They are interesting & the plot is intriguing.

Excellent

I loved this book. It’s so nice to actually have a hot steamy regency romance with a great story.

This was my first Jess Michaels listen. Read the reviews which said the steam level was high, but that is an understatement. The story was interesting although fairly unbelievable. Carmen Rose did a fabulous job narrating very steamy scenes without making them obscene.

Steamy is an Understatement
