Summary: GO GRAB -----> "Between Lovers"
Review: What happens when the one single person you most truly love and admire falls in love with someone else.. But still loves you? Would you compromise? BETWEEN LOVERS capitalizes on the fact that we as humans need to be satisfied in ways that sometimes one person can't always do. There are moments where we grow from certain experiences, and although many may see those changes as rebellious or sinful, we are, in fact, simply discovering ourselves. Just when you think that compromising in a twisted love triangle would do the trick, it doesn't. Or does it? Will family and/or society influence their bizarre behaviors on what step they'll take next? Or will it be another twisted ending, leaving you [asking] for more? Find out by reading "BETWEEN LOVERS." Trust me, its definitely a 10.

Summary: getting to the point
Review: I think that it was a great book because the way the guy in the book had so much love for his wife. I do truely believe that Nicole was being somewhat selfish she wanted her cake and eat it to. The way Eric Jerome Dickey expressed every part of the book it was like watching a movie receiving every detail there was. It was a great book and I will read it again and again. Keep up the work!!

Summary: Pleasantly Surprised
Review: I was sooo surprised with Dickey's poetic style. The story he was able to weave around these characters was laced with imagery, metaphors and wonderful descriptions. I had been reluctant to read his work before, but will definitely read another. He immediately pulled me into this story and took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as these three main characters tried to unravel their complicated relationships.
Try him and you'll see for yourself.

Summary: Give him a break
Review: I think everyone is being extremely too hard on Mr. Dickey.
How many of you have ever written a book? Probably very few. It is not the easiest task to write a book, believe me, I know. I'm currently working on my first novel and it's stressful, time consuming and takes a very patient soul to get the job done. All the late night sessions at the computer, numerous drafts that have to be typed and printed, and not to mention the stress of having to cator to your publisher as well as the fans. Gesh, this man is talented, I think we can all agree on that. Right? His story is alot, 100% better than some I have read by other authors. I can't believe you all have the nerve to come down on Mr. Dickey's BETWEEN LOVERS, while authors such as Zane writing such trash as ADDICTED, gets praise for that insulting piece of "Literary trash".
Personally this wasn't my favorite book, but it did have it's good points. Like I said Mr. Dickey is extremely talented, and his descriptions are breath taking. That man has a way with words. The story also flowed very well and was entertaining at best. I loved the competitive relationship between No-name, and Ayanna, she has a sazzy tongue and was an unforgettable character, to me.
The whole concept of the lesbian love affair, was a bit wierd, but it was done tastefully to be written by a man. I thought the main character was spineless, and all together they were all very shallow, sex obsessed, unholy people, but dang, come on now, they're really are people out here that think and act like that. Mr. Dickey wasn't glorifying their actions, if anything by placing the preacher father (my favorite character) into the plot he condoned all of their actions. The end came smoothly and very nice, and I'm happy that no-name finally opened up his eyes.
Give him a break you guys

Summary: Not one of EJD's best
Review: I've read all of EJD's novels, and for the most part have enjoyed most of them. However, I didn't enjoy this one at all. The first scene was a little confusing...didn't know who was who and what was going on with the guy and Nicole...and the further I read the story just seemed bogged down in senseless sex scenes. So much so that I ended up skipping the sex scenes just to get to the rest of the story, only to become frustratated about halfway through because it seemed I could never really get to the story. Maybe it got better at the end, but I'll never find out because I couldn't make it through the end. The sex scenes, in my opinion, were too explicit, and I didn't see how they were really germane to the rest of the story (but of course since I didn't finish it maybe I missed something).
EJD has always had a fresh style in his writing, something that attracted me from the first novel I read, but was clearly lacking in this story. My favorite EJD novel was Thieves' Paradise; though it was a different kind of a story for EJD, it was very good, very well written, characters that just jumped out of the pages. I hope he goes back to this style in his next novel.

Summary: Disappointed Loyal EJD Fan
Review: I've been keeping up with EJD books and Between Lovers is such a disappointment. Though I knew the subject matter, I expected EJD to be simply detailing an alternative lifestyle - since everyone has a place in society. Instead, the book is about a selfish woman out to fulfill her sexual wants (not needs). The sex is explicit, the characters are shallow, and story line typical when there's shallow characters. This story would have been more appropriate in a short anthology book - not big novel.

Summary: DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: I did not enjoy this book at all, I am a faithful reader of Eric Jerome Dickey books and this book did not seem to captivate me at all. Yes the love scenes was very descriptive but thats all. Their was nothing wonderful about the character Nicole that made these people fall head over heels had nothing special about her. The characters seemed under developed, nothing stood out about them. Ususally when I read a book it takes no more than 3 days tops, but this book seemed to drag for a long period of time.It did not draw me in. There was a few and I mean very few interesting scenes but overall I found it as a huge dissapointment.

Summary: Will the real EJD please stand up?!?
Review: I love EJD and I buy his books faithfully and I usually enjoy them to the fullest. However....Between Lovers. PLEASE! I just could not enjoy this book because the nameless guy was a punk to the nth degree!! In light of that, I guess its best that he didn't have a name - it'll be easier to forget him. As for Nicole, I just do not understand the power of her character simply because there was really nothing special about her. She was immature, greedy, and selfish yet she seemed to have total control of her two puppets. It is sickening the way that the guy and Ayanna allowed themselves to be manipulated by her. Ayanna? I don't know what to make of her. When she first entered the storyline, she was just as annoying as the guy. But then, considering her and Nicole's situation which was revealed towards the end of the book, I could slightly understand why she did the things that she did. Overall, this is not one of EJD's best. When I read a book I like to be able to feel at least one of the characters. I couldn't do that with this book because ALL of the characters were just too pathetic. Nonetheless, I've been an EJD fan for a long time and I don't see that ever changing - EJD just missed the mark with this one.
