Jeremy Edwards (Goodreads Author)
The year is 1934, and amiable New York gag writer Artie Plask has taken the West Coast plunge.

Subtitled An Erotocomedic Novel of Old-Time Radio, Jeremy Edwards' The Pleasure Dial is just that - an erotic, comedic, romp up and down the dial of 1930s entertainment.
Living in the digital age, it's hard to imagine a time when radio had quite the presence and significance it did back in its heyday, but Edwards does a superb job of capturing that. His is not a story of shock jocks and washed-up DJs, of commercialized entertainment, or canned amusement. Instead, it's the story of actors, comedia...more

The Pleasure Dial was such an enjoyable read that I felt a bit sorry when I finished it! Set in Hollywood during the Golden Age of Radio, the novel never wavers in its vibrant, lively pacing and flawlessly entertaining storyline. I frequently found myself caught between laughing out loud and beaming with delight at the charm and wit that abounds in the prose, from the dialogue to the description to the narrator's internal musings. (This book also includes the phrase "freelance sex goddess," whic...more
How can you not love an author who focuses first on his heroines' intelligence and second on their sexual exuberance, with physical appearance taking third place? Like his first novel, Rock My Socks Off, Jeremy Edwards' The Pleasure Dial showcases a smart, sexually insatiable woman and the bright but totally laid back guy who loves her.

In a sense this book gets my highest recommendation because I lent it and my Kindle to my flatmate when she asked me to suggest some light bedtime reading. I don't like recommending books and especially not dirty ones so I hope you appreciate what a rare gesture this was.
Did my flatmate like it? She did. She agreed that it was funny, light, charming, and erotic. It's sexy without being shameful and clever without making any demands.

Jeremy Edwards' latest book, The Pleasure Dial: An Erotocomedic Novel of Old-Time Radio, hits all the sweet spots with as many sex scenes as its zany plot twists. Set in the 1930s and starring a cast of characters hard at work on an old-time radio series, the book is all over the dial with sexy scenes in the bath, bedroom and even the back lots of a Hollywood sound stage.

Jeremy Edwards has, in two novels and countless shorter pieces, managed to earn himself a spot as a master of erotocomedic fiction. The light, carefree but deeply affectionate way in which his characters interact with each other has become his trademark, and I'm hooked on it.
See, here's the thing: Jeremy can write sex. Delectable, naughty, and unbelievably arousing sex. He does it often. The Pleasure Dial is full of it. Despite how lust-inspiring his sex scenes are, though, I found myself rushin...more
What can i say? i love Jeremy Edwards' erotica. everything i have read of his has been the perfect mixture of erotic and funny and all wrapped up in a great story line. His new novel "The Pleasure Dial" did not disappoint in any of these areas. The style and language of this novel was particularly great because i really felt like i was a part of the LA radio scene back in the 40s. i could picture it all and let myself get taken away. the story itself was just so intriguing and the splashes of er...more
Here's the thing, folks. There are two authors of modern erotica that I like. Jeremy Edwards is one of them. Yeah, the sex is hot. It's really hot, and yet it's not the best thing about this book.
The characters are hilarious, smart and totally likeable (except one, but you'll figure that out on your own.) The dialogue bursts with wit. The story is clever and perfectly paced. My husband didn't know I was reading something erotic because he kept hearing me laugh out loud.

Jeremy Edwards is an author I always enjoy, not least for his marvellous sense of humour. Jeremy is gifted at combining humour and erotic elements in a rollicking good story. No easy task. His latest story, THE PLEASURE DIAL, is a real treat and it instantly zipped me out of my own head, and kept me glued to the fun. Set in 1930's Hollywood, the story is both witty and salacious, presenting a unique kind of erotic read. I enjoyed every moment.
The Pleasure Dial by Jeremy Edwards is an animated and light-hearted story with lushly detailed and highly erotic sex scenes. To read my review in its entirety, please visit http://www.bookreviewsandmorebykathy....

Exactly what an erotic novel should be, Sexy, witty and smart! I highly recommend this to anyone looking to raise their temperature.
This is not my usual type of read but was happy with it. Funny and sexy all at once. Give it a shot, you will be pleasantly surprised;)
Jeremy does it again! A must read!
