Bestselling author Thomas Long consistently gives readers characters that are memorable, and in his new short ILLICIT PLEASURES he once again doesn't disappoint. We are introduced to sisters Simone and Shannon---and I'm sure that anyone with siblings can relate to the relationship (or lack of one) that they have. Simone has always felt slighted by the family because she was so different than her big sister. Shannon was the one with the exciting career, adventurous live and the adoration that Simone craved. What made it even worse was Shannon's disrespect for her sister and disregard for her feelings.That all changed one day when Simone arrived for dinner at their mom's house and was introduced to Shannon's new man C Mack. Being exactly the kind of man that turned her on, Simone realized that she had to have him---and giving her sister some of her own medicine in the process was just going to be icing on the cake.I believe that men and women will enjoy reading this engaging story by Long. It's not just about revenge. It takes you into the old adage of what goes around comes around and why it's just nice to be nice. Interesting enough ILLICIT PLEASURES also reminds us that women can be players just like men, and when it comes to getting what you want, there is no gender that has the monopoly on revenge.Just enough to give you that much-needed literary hit, Thomas Long's ILLICIT PLEASURES shows that payback can be a... Well, you know. :-)
