Rating: Summary: The Attractions and Problems of Open Bisexuality Review: Caution: This book contains a great deal of explicit heterosexual and lesbian sex. The book's language is also filled with explicit sexual imagery. There is also coarse language in many places. If such things offend you, you should definitely avoid this book. You will find it a one-star effort. Intensity. That's what's special about this book. Anyone reading Between Two Lovers will feel their emotions being crushed by a vise several times the size of themselves. Whether you agree with or disagree with what the characters are doing, you will find yourself being drawn into their compulsive world of love and love-making. Once again, Eric Jerome Dickey has turned the written word into a compelling experience with life. Between Two Lovers will be most appealing to those who are wondering what it is like to be permanently inflamed by love, women who have wanted to experience physical love-making with other women, and those who are wondering how you can cool a harmful passion. The plot seemed quite realistic and thorough in addressing all of the perspectives that will come to bear: religious, familial, desire for children, how to please two people at once who are in competition, and the siren call of greater sensual pleasure. After you finish this book, step back and think through what your core values and beliefs are. Use the story to test yourself on what you would have done differently from the three main characters of the unnamed author, Nicole, and Ayanna. If you are older, you might also want to think about what you would have done if you were Nicole's mother or the author's father. Give and receive love that builds your spirituality . . . as well as your personal connection!
Rating: Summary: Great Read Review: This was the first Eric Jerome Dickey novel that I had ever read. I loved it. Nicole is the main character of a love triangle that suprisingly consists of another man and another woman who are both in love with her. The lies and emotions involved in this novel were displayed very realisticly. I loved the novel and I have gone on to read other novels by this author.
If you are up for a good read and want to laugh, cry and knod your head in understanding this is the perfect book for you. Enjoy!! I did.
Rating: Summary: ERIC JEROME DICKEY STAGE PLAY! Review: I loved Between Lovers. I am hooked on EJD. Hey! I heard that Friends and Lovers is being done as a stage play! Check out www.imreadyproductions.com for more about it.
Rating: Summary: EJD HAS SOME IMAGINATION! Review: EJD keeps getting better and better. Just when I thought he could not top Friends & Lovers, he's proved me wrong with Between Lovers. This very complicated 3 way love triangle is DA BOMB! EJD has a very vivid imagination and makes me wonder where did he really get this story from, let me tell ya. The book starts off slow and does'nt truly begin until the character Ayanna comes into play (she's fierce). With this novel, Nicole is the focal point of a love triangle, with two lovers-one male the other female (talk about putting a twist on things). For the life of me, I still don't get what was sooo special about Nicole, because I did not particulary care for her as a character. She was extremely selfish, but whatever it was, she had her lovers HOOKED beyond reason (talk about some serious love). The erotica in the book was EJD at his best. This book is not for the prude, but the open-minded. If you can read E. Lynn Harris then you'll love this book. BIG UPS EJD!
Rating: Summary: A change from his norm, but still a geat read Review: Unlike Eric Jerome Dickey's other novels, Between Lovers is only told from one point of veiw, but don't let that turn you away. It is the story of one man's struggle to grow out of an unhealthy relationship. His former fiance is now living in San Fransico with her new girlfriend. And the male narrattor is visiting her and struggling with the changes in the girl he used to love and the woman he sees now. All three characters go through tremendous growth in this book, and at times I missed the female point of veiw. But at it's heart this book is about him and his role in all of these changes. Mr. Dickey retells a classic tale (the love triangle) with a modern day twist. For those who have problems with the lesbian storyline, once you've read the book you'll see why it's pivitol to the storyline. Because his girlfriend's new lover is a woman, he can't resort to testosterone and fight for her like a man. This forces him to fight for her on a romantic and intelectual level. That makes this book a must read for any woman who wanted to understand what it really means "when a man loves a woman" and any one who's ever broken someone's heart.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Dickey Fan Review: I love all of Eric Jerome Dickey's books except for two. This book is one of the two. I did not like any of the characters and the book is sexually over the top.
Rating: Summary: more like 3.5 Review: this isn't my favorite book from Dickey. It's not that it is a bad read, I'm just not sure how realistic it is. I don't know any man who is just gonna accept that the woman he loves is in a twisted, very odd relationship with someone else. Neither lover, in my opinion, is going to be that patient while the person in the middle takes her sweet time to figure out what she wants. Having said that, this book is, once again, a pure display of Dickey's genius. It is an original look at the very typical love triangle. Dickey does an excellent job of showing both sides of the situation, as well as explaining why the chice is a difficult one on the part of the woman in the middle. I was pleased with the end, as I usually am with Dickey's books. But I was troubled by the circumstances that finally played into the middle woman's long term choice.
Rating: Summary: Hot and Exciting Review: I enjoyed reading Between Lovers. I just now started reading Eric Jerome Dickey's books and I can't stop. This was the first book I read. I enjoyed reading about the situation a lot of people may go through. I enjoyed it, but I wish Nicole would have chosen her 'other' lover instead of the one she ended up with at the end.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book Review: I must say, this was one of the best books I ever read. It took you through a full range of emotions. It'll make you realize how powerful love really is. If you're not already hooked, this book will make you become a Eric Jerome Dickey fan. I guarantee it. Blessings!
Rating: Summary: Boy, talk about having your cake and eating it too! Review: The character of Nicole has been a very busy girl. On one coast, she's been continuing to sleep with the man she left at the altar on their wedding day. On another, she's found a new love to keep her occupied and satisfied. The new love, however, is another woman, and they both know about the affair of the heart and body Nicole has been displaying to the other. Nicole seems to have the perfect solution to quell all fears and answer all questions about the lovers involved. How about all three get together and have one big relationship, where the only catch is that there will be no love shared between the outside players, just sex? It's every man fantasy with boundaries. Problem: How do you expect a perfect threesome when two of the players are bent on turning Nicole's heart out and making her get rid of the competion at large? Complex and frustrating at times, this body of work is written differently than his past novels, yet involves a subject matter that's not always read about. Definitely different and interesting.
