“That’s the thing about sex. It can mean the world to one person and nothing to the other.”
-Biljana Stevens

Billie continues her trek to faraway exotic countries with the hope of healing from the devastating loss of David, the one true love of her life. Her journey takes her to a wild lesbian bar in Chile where she serves, a strict Shibari Master in Japan where she is put on display, and a tantric sex guru in India where she has an epiphany. But does any of it help her broken heart heal?
Jasmin is torn between two powerful men. A heavily connected mobster, Diego, fresh out of prison, and her mild mannered boss, Gladstone, the consummate professional. What will win out, the desire for intense insatiable pleasure or true lifelong love? Unfortunately, she will learn that in life, one can’t always control how things turn out.
Vicky had it all. The perfect husband, a promising career, and beauty. Until cracks in the foundation appear. Mistrust, betrayal, and unforeseeable twists in the road. When it rains it pours. At a lowpoint, she comes to learn that, just when you think things can’t get any worse, they do.
Life goes on for the three best friends as they navigate incredible highs and crippling lows. That’s the thing about life. It can be wonderful one minute, and tear at your guts the next. There is pleasure and there is pain.
The only constant is their undying friendship.

My day job requires a fair amount of writing. Therefore, I never really had an interest to write for pleasure. When you do it all day, the last thing you want to do when you get home, is more writing. Meanwhile, as my business career progressed, so did my involvement in the BDSM lifestyle.

This interest in kinky sex started in my University years. Like most men, I loved meeting women, and especially the occasional one who didn't mind being tied up, or blindfolded, or spanked. I've always loved vanilla sex too - but BDSM became the icing on the cake.

During my lifetime I was lucky enough to meet my fair share of submissive women. And don't for a minute think these women were weak. Outside the bedroom they were confident, opinionated, gregarious and self-assured. However, inside the bedroom (so to speak) they wanted to feel the strong firm hand of a dominant man taking complete control.

Eventually I found the perfect partner, and am happily married.

One day, I flipped my laptop open, and to my surprise - I had an urge to write a BDSM story. Soon I had 20 pages, then 40, then 60. The novel that resulted was 'Testing the Submissive'. The response was very positive including excellent reviews. That motivated me to keep writing, and 'A Condo With Two Views' became my second full-length novel. A few other projects are also in the works.

If you decide to read my book(s), I truly hope you enjoy it.

Book two continues with the lives and adventure of three best friends, Billie, Jasmin, and Vicky. We watch them navigate through a broken heart, complications in love and marriage and a few other surprises. Can Billie’s broken heart heal? Will Jasmin figure out who is her one love and find some happiness? Will Vicky be able to deal with the blows that come her way?

What I Loved About This Book
I was anxiously awaiting book two in this series to see what was in store for these best friends. This book did not disappoint. I have read all of Al’s books and loved each one and for all different reasons. He continues to grow as a writer and this was evident in this book. The raw emotion with all of these characters was penned in such a way that I felt it to my core. I was on the journey with them and feeling everything they went through. I love how Al is able to write from a female perspective. He does a fantastic job at conveying the thoughts, feelings, issues, etc. these women are experiencing. I love these characters. They are very relatable and it’s easy to find small pieces of yourself within each character. I love the friendship these ladies share. They are truly always there and 100% supportive and that is the way friendship should be. You can’t help but to cheer these ladies on and hope they get all the happiness they want and deserve.

What I Didn’t Love About This Book
In all honesty there was only one thing I didn’t love and that was Vicki and her constant internal conflict. I get it and even understand it happens, but it drove me a little crazy as it kept going. I will not get into details because I do not like any spoilers in my reviews.

Overall I think Al has done an amazing job with this read and I will anxiously be waiting for book three. I am sad this series will be coming to a close and I am enjoying being along for the adventures of these three ladies who now feel like friends. I give this book five stars and happily would recommend this to readers.

I really loved reading Pleasure, Pain or Purpose: Book Two: Pain. You need to have read Book One: Pleasure first to understand all that goes on in Book Two: Pain. I have notes that I took while reading this book and part of me wants to share but, I am afraid of spoilers so, I will forego it.

This series is about 3 friends, Biljana “Billie” Stevens (her significant other died and she is a submissive), Jasmin Stallworth (a police officer) & Vicky Knox (married to Andrew). Billie has been grieving her S. O. for a couple of years and wanders the earth trying to get over him. Jasmin really is a kick butt fearsome woman (yes this is edited for Amazon). (You will see why I say that once you read this book and she really is looking for love) & then there is Vicky & Andrew. I have to give credit to Andrew and I am sorry I can’t say why but, if you read this book then you will know. Al Daltrey you had me in tears toward the end of this book. Please don’t let anything happen to Vicky! I love Chad! I think Billie needs him!

Now on to important things when will Pleasure, Pain or Purpose: Book Three: Purpose be coming out? I need to find out what happens next. I am truly loving this series and can’t wait for Book 3!

These books are not ARC’s I am buying them because I really do enjoy reading Al Daltrey’s books.

I see another 5 STAR review for Pleasure, Pain or Purpose: Book Two: Pain.

Holy crap, I freaking love this series! I sooooo need book 3 now! Book 2 picked up where book 1 left off, with the Los Locos Locos breaking into the girls cabin. Let me tell you.. it was craziness, but I'm not saying what happened, because you need to read it for yourself. Hee hee.. So the story continues from there, each girl having their own set of problems and trying to work through them. Vicky has something life changing and traumatic happen to her. Billie is slowing learning how to live again without David and boy oh boy does she have some crazy adventures! Jasmin.. I think she may be my favorite.. she's a kick butt kind of girl and I love it! But she does find herself in a romantic situation that is hurting her. I hope like heck she comes out ok and gets the man she wants. Once again this book is full of emotions and I have found myself deeply vested in these women's lives. The story just pulls you in and keeps you there. I can't wait for book 3!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book. Amazing Author. Can't wait for more...

I absolutely loved this book! For so many reasons. With every book in this series, Al Daltrey draws me closer and closer to these characters. I laugh with them. I cry with them. I hope for them.

The story follows three friends enduring three very different, yet very real struggles of life. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's complicated. But along the way, our friendships help hold us together. And this book is a wonderful reminder of that.
I found myself right there, living vicariously through Billie as she strives to find herself after losing the love of her life. I admire her strength and determination and there were times my heart would truly break for her. I am crossing my fingers for the happy ending she deserves. I was cheering for Vicky to save her marriage. And just when she thinks it's all worked out, life throws her a serious curveball. I just want to hold her hand and tell her everything will be okay. And Jasmin...I LOVE Jasmin. She's a hardcore, take no prisoners kind of girl but at the same time she has this desire to be cherished by the man she loves. There's just one catch- which of two incredibly sexy men will be the one?

The first chapter of this book...OMG. It had me breathless and on the edge of my seat. And then the last chapter left me the same way. Mr. Daltrey has crafted a beautiful story of love, loss, friendship, and steaming hot sexual discovery.

Amazing author. Amazing book. I can't wait for more to come.

I couldn't wait to read this after reading the first book in the series, I soooo needed to read this to get off the edge of my seat with the cliffhanger I was left with!! To my delight book two was already available, so without hesitation I one clicked and jumped straight in.
I love these ladies, Billie, Jasmin and Vicky - three different women, three different lives but three of the closest friends you could wish for. I thought it was excellent how they handled the situation they were in at the end of book one. I must admit I was a tad scared for them but was rather impressed at the way they handled it all.
This journey takes the ladies down more of a painful path but let me tell you it doesn't lack pleasure!
If you have read book one then you really need to get yourself over to Amazon now and one click, you will not be disappointed! I am however now waiting very impatiently for book three!

Not much to say but Wow! After reading Pleasure and waiting for Pain to come out I certainly wasn’t disappointed, Al Daltrey really dives into the minds of these three women and makes you feel like you are on the journey of their lives with them. You feel everything they go through with their ups and downs and can feel how close they are as friends and rely on each other. As always the kinky sex never disappoints and now waiting for the third book to see where else Al Daltrey can take the readers on this amazing journey.

I was delighted to be given an ARC of this, the second in the Pleasure, Pain and Purpose series.
I loved the first book, Pleasure, finding an affinity with these three women. After all, we all know the special bond a good friendship brings, so I was looking forward to reading Pain. It certainly did not disappoint. It was lovely visiting with Jasmine, Vicky and Biljana again. Getting to know them more, being a part of their lives. Pain is something we all know about in varying degrees but these three women faced it together in a way only people who know each other inside out can. I'm not going to put any spoilers, you will need to read for yourselves. But I will say this book will put you through a whole host of emotions; happiness, sorrow, anger, it has them all. A great read from Al Daltrey, I will definitely be one-clicking the third, Purpose.

Al Daltrey's Pain (PPoP book 2) continues where it left off. Billie, Jasmin and Vicky. Billie is still on her journey on trying to move on from her partner's death. Jasmin, what to do with the two men in her life eh? One plus one = maybe none? Ah Vicky, I feel her pain, insecurity and uncertainty. I hope she gets a better deal in book 3. This author weaves a very interesting saga of the 3 close friends and I can't wait for the final book. Ehrm, I hope it's the final one. I highly recommend this book!
