Penny Harrigan is a low-level associate in a big Manhattan law firm with an apartment in Queens and no love life at all. So it comes as a great shock when she finds herself invited to dinner by one C. Linus Maxwell, aka "Climax-Well," a software mega-billionaire and lover of the most gorgeous and accomplished women on earth. After dining at Manhattan's most exclusive restaurant, he whisks Penny off to a hotel suite in Paris, where he proceeds, notebook in hand, to bring her to previously undreamed-of heights of orgasmic pleasure for days on end. What's not to like? This: Penny discovers that she is a test subject for the final development of a line of sex toys to be marketed in a nationwide chain of boutiques called Beautiful You. So potent and effective are these devices that women by the millions line up outside the stores on opening day and then lock themselves in their room with them and stop coming out. Except for batteries. Maxwell's plan for erotically-enabled world domination must be stopped. But how?

Well, that was ...something. It had me until Penny went to Napal, then it got too silly to think of as a dark satire and rolled over into the realm of dumb.
This book managed to make sex scenes appear as blandly neutral even for me (a severely sex repulsed reader), so I guess I have to give it some credit for that.
How do I say this? This was an interesting read. Chuck has a very vivid imagination, I will tell you that. Wow. He put a new spin on Erotica. Can we call this Erotic Dystopia? This was a change of style for me and I enjoyed it. It really sparked my interest andimagination. Lol.
