The Pleasure Hound: Part One (The Pleasure Hound #1)

The Pleasure Hound is the first of three books in the Pleasure Hound Series. It is a relatively quick read based in a dystopian future in which female births are rare and, as a result, women are the ruling class. Men are considered second class citizens and their main purpose in life is to serve and pleasure women. Only first and second sons are allowed to marry and most marriages include two husbands. Male/male relationships in this world are not unusual or controversial in any way. They are in fact the normal way of things and are to be expected.
Chanyn is a woman who has lived separate from the rest of society for the majority of her life. Her mother, a member of the female elite, moved herself and her daughter to the remains of what was once Detroit. Chanyn (pronounced Shannon) grew up reading books about the world when men and women were born at a more even rate, where women did not rule over men and, more importantly she enjoyed reading about romance and falling in love. When we meet her in the story she is alone since her mother's death. Two men enter her home but hiding isn't an option as they soon need her help. Dain and Khial are lovers, but are not married. The lovers take her back to a civilization and a life that is foreign to her. The reader ultimately learns why the two men have "rescued" her from her life in the ruins, and also about the life that she was taken from as a child and her place in society. We also get to meet Jian, the Pleasure Hound, whose purpose is to determine what arouses a woman and brings her to orgasm, and to share that knowledge with her husbands.
