BETWEEN LOVERS, the sixth book from best-selling author Eric
Jerome Dickey, takes a more different turn than any of his previous
novels: this one involves a bisexual triangle between an unnamed
narrator, his ex-girlfriend and her lesbian lover.
The story revolves around Mr. Anonymous, a jilted fiancé left at the
altar by girlfriend Nicole, and who’s now back in his life. A year later,
however, things have truly changed: Nicole is now in a committed
relationship with Ayanna. That doesn’t stop her from having her cake
Mr. Anonymous at first is down for it at first, but then his heart is torn between loving and hating
Nicole, the fact that she put him in this position. And soft-stud Ayanna feels the same way; it’s only
their love for Nicole that makes them want to share her and hold on to her tightly.
And that one night open’s a Pandora’s box. In opening himself to anything, he’s learns everything –
and what happens next is anyone’s guess.
I enjoyed the basic premise of Between Lovers, and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat.
However, the whole three way between Anonymous, Nicole and Ayanna dragged on far too long for
me. I wondered what would make a person want to stay with a selfish woman like Nicole, who
basically wanted to have both lovers for herself without regard to either person’s feelings. The novel
also doesn't do anything for the negative perception of bisexuals, portraying them as people who
simply flip from men to women at the drop of a hat.
Dickey is the master of spellbinding, sinful novels, and Between Lovers definitely keeps it hot.
