It's Been A Pleasure, Noni Blake is a story about wanting more: more adventures, more joy, more romance, more orgasms, more pleasure... more everything. Now, Noni Blake just has to figure out how to get it.

At thirty-six, Noni Blake didnโ€™t expect to be starting over. But eighteen months after the end of her long-term relationship, she decides itโ€™s time to start living her life again.

While an encounter with a sexy firefighter is a welcome entry back into the dating world, Noni soon realises she's in search of more than just a series of brief, pleasurable encounters. She seeks more pleasure in, well, everything.

This desire leads her to travel to Europe in pursuit of the one that got away: the alluring, elusive Molly. However, Europe may have other surprises in store...
