Product Description
Though Laney DeGraff is a successful president of a family-owned bank on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, she can’t seem to feel happy about anything. Then she meets Theresa Aguilar, a sleek, sexy lawyer, and is invited to join an exclusive group called the Pleasure Set, a privileged society of powerful women whose sexy goings-on remain steadfastly secret. Soon Laney finds out that what is really happening within the Pleasure Set is not only dangerous, it’s lethal.
Suddenly in too deep, Laney realizes that to leave the group would be deadly so she reaches out to Detective Sandrine Girard, an honest cop with a flawed past, who arranges to have her go undercover in a delicate operation to not only catch Theresa but to save Laney from both career suicide and certain death. But the intense attraction that grows quickly between Laney and Sandrine threatens to expose them at the most critical juncture in the sting.
Some people would kill to get into the Pleasure Set. But Laney just wants to get out alive.

Pleasure Set, May 21 2010
By George Bernard Shaw "GB" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pleasure Set (Paperback)
The characters were hard to identify with or care about. The story was convoluted and did not make sense. This book could have used a good editor and a lot of editing.

Edge of your seat thrill ride!, May 23 2010
By E. B. MULLIGAN "Bronwyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pleasure Set (Paperback)
This is one book you shouldn't start in the evening as I did because you will not want to stop reading after the first two chapters.Laney has taken over the presidency and running of the boutique bank set on glamorous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills California. In her thirty-four years she has been as conservative in her personal life as she must be when running her bank. She has just had her cheating lover move out after 4 listless years together.
Into her life and her bank enters Theresa. Theresa has Femme Fatale written all over her (think Raymond Chandler bad girl). But she seems safe enough to Laney as she is a married woman.
Sandrine Girard is a French woman who has long been on the Los Angeles police force and has regular business contact with Laney in her role on the on the force's fraud department. Sandrine as never had a steady relationship due to trust issues fostered from an early age. She sees Laney as someone who she may want to give her trust to for the first time.
Laney is attracted to the opportunities, business and personal, Theresa can bring and steps outside her normal cautions.
The writing was so well paced I found myself saying aloud "NO! Don't do it!" And hot, the novel is very sensual.
Very entertaining story and realistic ending.

Extremely pleasurable, May 12 2010
By TerryB "Lesfic fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pleasure Set (Paperback)
Laney DeGraff is the president of her family owned bank. After the demise of her long term relationship, Laney accepts an invitation from Theresa Aguilar, a married lawyer, to join a group of rich celebrity type women, called The Pleasure Set. Soon Laney discovers that the group aren't the innocent party goers that they seem. She discovers they are a deadly group that will stop at nothing to further their ill gotten gains and pleasures. She can't get out of the group without destroying her life and everything she has worked for. Even her life could be at stake. Laney enlists the help of detective Sandrine Girard, an intriguing woman she had begun getting to know. Together they enter a race against time to get the evidence they need to clear Laney of any wrong doing.I've enjoyed Lisa's previous two books immensely, but this has to be her best yet, in my opinion. The tension and excitement throughout this book kept me turning the pages until I'd finished it. In other words, most of the night. This is a book to start when you have plenty of time to finish it as you won't want to put it down. One I will be keeping to re read. Oh yes, and it is really hot too. Steaming!
Listmania!
