Renetta Jones runs a very lucrative online lingerie business from her home. Her models are like daughters to her and they share a close working relationship. She is very wealthy and polished, which has not always been the case. Still married to her abusive husband who is left bed stricken due to a stroke, she still holds onto the belief they are both being punished for past wrongs.
Freddie Palmer is happily married with three children and several grandchildren. She works as a county clerk and although she is happy, her existence is somewhat mundane. After attending a book signing where the author performs a reading from her novel, she is struck with the desire to write. Unsure of her talent as a writer, she signs up for a writing classes led by the author. As the author encourages her to discover her muse, she introduces Freddie to a sordid lifestyle that haunts her everyday life.
Phyllis Neville is a successful account manager at a marketing firm. Throughout her life, her career has been her main focus, even taking precedence over her marriage and her daughter. When she is passed over for a promotion, she begins to reevaluate her decisions. She still has feelings for her ex-husband who has moved on and remarried and she still has not developed a strong relationship with her daughter. When her daughter needs her most, Phyllis has to dig deep in order to be there for her.
These three women were inseparable as teenagers until a horrible secret tore them apart. With each carrying their guilt for a decision made 30 years before, they are no longer friends. With the aid of a private investigator, the secret is no longer buried. Will the trio come to together to face the consequences of the decision they made as kids?
I love the way JD Mason kept the secret to the very end. TAKE YOUR PLEASURE WHERE YOU FIND IT kept me mesmerized until the very end. I was somewhat perplexed with Freddie’s story line, but it was hilarious. Mason is an awesome storyteller with well-rounded characters and strong plot development, which continues to earn her a spot as one of my favorite authors.
