Platinum Pleasures was my first introduction to Kate Deveaux’s work.  It is a short story about a case of mistaken identity.  This is the story of Ainsley and Marcus.  Ainsley is a woman who has been left by her long time lover and no longer feels like she is attractive. She has decided to order herself a special treat this Valentine’s Day.  Marcus is a young CEO and widow who does not want to be reminded that it is Valentine’s Day.  However, when he is asked to make a special last minute delivery this will turn out to be the most interesting Valentine’s that either of them has ever had.I enjoyed the idea that this story presented, not all stories have to have a young woman as the lead.  It was refreshing to see a slightly older woman finding love and happiness with a younger man.  The characters in this story were very easy to connect with, however I would have enjoyed a little more back-story on both of them to get to know them a little better.  This is one of the few books that I have read lately that there really was not any type of conflict in the story.  I have to say that this was definitely a different type of read for me.  I would give this book 4 stars and look forward to reading more from Kate Deveaux.ARC provided by author for review
