Pleasure Island explores the tourism industry in Cuba between 1920 and 1960, as international travel ceased to be primarily a privilege of the wealthy, and incorporated the world's growing middle class. Rosalie Schwartz examines tourists' changing ideas of leisure and recreation, as well as the response of a colonial-era Spanish city turned fleshpot and endless cabaret. The tourism industry mushroomed in and around Havana after 1920, as hundreds of thousands of North Americans transformed the city in collaboration with a local business and political elite. The Depression, exacerbated by a bloody revolution in 1933, plunged the tourism industry into a downward spiral; its steady comeback after World War II, and Mafia-influenced 1950s heyday, ended abruptly when Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. The tourist stream was diverted to Cuba's Caribbean neighbors, where it remains. This work is a history of a very idiosyncratic industry, as well as a study of mass tourism's influence on the behavior, attitudes, and cultures of two politically linked but diverse nations. Rosalie Schwartz is a former lecturer in the Department of History at San Diego State University. She is the author of Across the Rio to Freedom and Lawless Liberators: Political Banditry and Cuban Independence, which won the 1990 Hubert B. Herring Book Award of the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies.

Pleasure Island opened on June 22, 1959, in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Designed by Marco Engineering of Los Angeles, it was the second of three innovative theme parks built across America to mimic Disneyland. Pleasure Island was conceived by William Hawkes, president of Child Life magazine, and with support from Bostons Cabot, Cabot & Forbes and local and national investors, the vision of the park was brought to life. Just by passing through a turnstile, children and the young at heart could leave the present and enter into a world of the past. Clipper Cove was a replica of an old New England fishing village, and Goldpan Gulch re-created the Old West. With state-of-the-art attractions and national and local live entertainment, Pleasure Island became one of the top-grossing parks in the nation. Known as the Disneyland of the East, the park was enjoyed for 11 seasons, until its closing in 1969.

Liam: After serving four years in the army, I'm back home in Texas, but it hasn't taken me long to see that I don't belong here anymore. Luckily, I heard that my cousin, Jake King, is now living in New York City, so I'll join him there, hoping to put the past behind me. And, unlike most other twenty-two-year-old guys, the one thing I'm NOT looking for is romance. In fact, I'm planning on being celibate for the foreseeable future. Mila: I don't need a bodyguard, and I certainly don't want one, but my dad is sure that someone's trying to hurt me. All I want is to focus on my practice and spend time with Grandma Millie at her beautiful resort. However, after meeting my bodyguard, I'm now thinking that going to Pleasure Island with him might not be such a bad deal after all. Former soldier, Liam Finnegan and sex therapist Mila Golding are about as different as two people can be. After Liam is hired as Mila's bodyguard, they fight the chemistry between them, but fate has other ideas. Will they be able to move beyond the baggage of their pasts, or will their biases prove to be their undoing? Don't miss Pleasure Island, the final book in the Sex Coach series. Contains a free preview of the Pure Lust series.
