Description
From New York Times best-selling author Eric Jerome Dickey comes this sexy novel brimming with the steamy voices of three desperately intertwined lovers. Dickey centers the story on an L.A.-based writer who is obsessed with gorgeous, nubile Nicole--the very same woman who left him at the altar just three years before. Nicole is torn between her ongoing love for him and her passion for the beautiful Ayanna. It's time for Nicole to make a decision--keep the writer and lose Ayanna, or try to accommodate both and risk losing everything in a conflagration of uninhibited sexuality. Fashionable and hot, this irresistible book will delight you with its sensuous view of the bedroom when the lights are out and the candles are lit.

I'll start this review by saying this, I am a very big fan of Eric Jerome Dickey.There's just something about his work that makes you not want to put the book down until the end.This is also the case with his latest book, Friends and Lovers. Although at first I was somewhat drawn to the story line,

it wasn't until I had gotten through the first chapter that I had found myself hooked. The story line is this: The main character got dumped at the altar by Nicole. Nicole then moved away from their hometown to be with her loved Ayanna.The author comes to visit with leads Nicole to feeling torn between her old love and her new love.Also, Nicole then tries to merge her old life with her new life which leads to hurt feelings as well as new experiences with intimacy.Throughout the course of the novel, the reader is put on a kind of emotional roller coaster. While at times you feel sorry for the narrator, at times, you feel angry with him because he is not seeing things as they truly are. What I liked most about this novel was the way in which the characters interacted with each other.When I was reading this book, I felt as if these were people I actually knew and I was friends with them. In my opinion, it takes a special person to be able to communicate relationships like that to a reader. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much and I have already recommended it to someone.I feel that anyone who reads it will like it as much as I did if not more. Show Less
