Excerpt
Elle’s prince charming stepped forward until he was standing right in front of her, so close she could breathe in the scent of his woodsy cologne, could see the darkening of his golden eyes and the now captivating smile curving his lips that did crazy, arousing things to her female hormones. Authoritative and Intense was an incredibly hot look on him, but this charismatic version gradually emerging had the ability to sweep her off her feet.
“I’m Hunter Wilder,” he introduced himself, and tipped his head curiously. “And you are?”
So incredibly smitten. Her tongue suddenly felt tied, and while he was the epitome of confident male sophistication, she had to struggle not swoon like a Disney princess in front of him. “My name is Elle.”
He raised a dark brow. “And your last name?”
She bit her bottom lip in debate, which didn’t go unnoticed by him as he candidly looked at her mouth like he wanted to devour it. The thought sent a jolt of lustful need pulsing deep and low, settling in all those dormant places that had forgotten what it felt like to be wanted and desired.
There was something incredibly magical about this moment, about tonight and this enigmatic man who’d made the decision to stop her from leaving when he easily could have watched her go. This evening was all about fairy tales where anything could happen, and she wanted that enchanted, mysterious feeling to remain because tomorrow, her less than appealing reality still awaited her. And she was fairly certain that a wealthy, dynamic man like Hunter Wilder wouldn’t be interested in a woman who had a wealth of issues and problems currently plaguing her life.
With that thought in mind, she kept her reply flirtatious, and her full identity anonymous. “Tonight, it’s just Elle.”
“Okay, Just Elle,” he teased, his voice infused with amusement as he extended his bent arm to her in a gallant gesture. “Will you be my date for the evening and accompany me to the Wilder Way ball?”
Determined to have fun with this man and enjoy her evening, wherever it might lead, she nodded and slipped her hand into the crook of his arm. “It would be my pleasure to be your date for the evening.”
A slow, sinful smile eased up the corners of his kissable mouth as he slid a big, warm hand over the one resting on his forearm to hold it there—as if she’d even consider letting him go. “Trust me, beautiful girl, before this evening is over, I have a feeling the pleasure is going to be all mine.”
The dark, forbidden promises glinting in his eyes stole her breath and sent a delicious, decadent heat cascading through her veins. Oh, Lord. Elle sincerely hope so.

Liza's Review:
I really wasn't sure how much I would love Absolute Pleasure as it was a Cinderella retelling, and until now the movie Ever After was my only positive look at Cinderella. Erika Wilde totally and completely blew me away with Absolute Pleasure!
I loved grouchy Hunter Wilder when we first met him, and couldn't wait to meet the woman who in one night pretty much brought him to his knees. Elaina "Elle" Darien was everything I hoped for and more for Hunter. She is so very strong and I loved her for Hunter.
Hunter and Elle had such amazing chemistry. Like OMG smoking hot, steam up my kindle screen chemistry. Hunter is all Alpha and in charge and Elle just seemed to blossom when they were together. I seriously loved Hunter wanted to take care of Elle, yet gave her space if needed.
Elle's step-mother Helena might have been even more evil than the one in Cinderella, and her step-sisters Gwen and Claire honestly didn't seem much better at first. I was so glad when the step-sister I didn't hate came forward to help out Elle when really needed.
Absolute Pleasure was so amazing I literally re-read it as soon as I finished reading it the first time. It hit on all my favorite things in a contemporary romance. I loved both Maddux's and Hunter's stories so much and can't wait to read Tempest's story. Erika Wilde is one of my go-to authors for sexy, hot, emotional romances, and she totally delivered with Absolute Pleasure in the very best way.
