PLATINUM PLEASURES is a quick and enjoyable read. For me it was the first book I’ve read written by Kate Deveaux. This story shows how mistaken identity can turn into something you would never have expected.Ainsley is in her mid-forties and her longtime boyfriend recently walked out on her to marry a much younger woman. Now she struggles with how to go on and feels like she is no longer attractive and desirable. To make things worse, it is Valentine’s Day and she is all alone. Deciding to take a leap of faith and live a little, even if it is for one night only, she decides to hire a male escort – preferably in his twenties and well-built – to fulfill all her sexual fantasies…Marcus is the CEO of a successfully running company, being only twenty-eight he has it all – well, except for love. He is seen with a different woman every other day, not ready to commit to any woman yet after the death of his wife a few years ago. Valentine’s Day for him is a constant reminder of what he had lost. Doing his administrative a favor, he brings a last minute delivery to its addressee, who is anxiously awaiting it… or him?Hiding behind aliases, they both enjoy a night full of hot and steamy sex with no restrictions and no strings attached, no expectations, just to fulfill their fantasies.I relished the story line – taking chances, live the moment and the fact that middle-aged women actually can find happiness with a much younger man.As this is a novella there was not much space for background, but Kate Deveaux manages just to put the right amount into it so the characters are easy to like and to connect with. She also sets a timeframe that makes the story believable.A wonderfully written enticing erotic novella. Solid 4 Stars!
