"Genevieve" recounts the experiences of Genevieve (but make sure you pronounce it the French way ...) and her attempts to escape her past. When a family event brings her back to her hometown, the perfect life she's tried to construct begins to crumble. This is complicated largely due to her sister Kenya, who is a stark contrast in nearly every way. This book is fairly consistent with most of EJD's books. It's well-written (technically speaking), has an interesting plot and the sexy encounters that have become his trademark. It definitely doesn't rank as one of my favorite EJD books,but you won't be wasting your time or money by checking this one out. "Genevieve" is told in first-person, which I generally don't prefer. If you can get past that, you're in for a fairly interesting read. There's even a plot twist that I hadn't seen coming. I'm not really sure why I put this book on my wish list - maybe because it's set in my native Birmingham. I knew from the first words that it was far more graphically sexual than most books I read, and it made me uncomfortable. But Dickey's prose pulled me in, and I became genuinely interested in Genevieve and Kenya. The story, being told from a man's point of view, was also somewhat enlightening. The Birmingham setting was done well and didn't set off alarm bells for this native. I'm not sure I'll read any more of this author, but it was still a good story. Bookcrossing: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/5862409/ Dickey is an expert sex scene writer; it made me blush. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance-gone-awry story. It has interesting plot twists and a dose or two of amorality. I don't typically read romance novels, but I'm glad I read this because it was good, but if Dickey's other novels are similar, I'll probably take a pass on reading them. At the right price, I'll buy them to add to my collection, but I won't be in a hurry to add them to my To Be Read list. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
HæderspriserDistinctions
Eric Jerome Dickey's boldly sensual novel centers on what his fans love best--steamy romance and shocking betrayal. This is an edge-of-your-seat novel about a good man who loves his wife, Genevieve, but finds himself drawn against his best intentions into an affair--with his wife's sister. Both women have a mysterious and tragic past that raises the stakes in this fast-paced novel. Genevieve hits all the crowd-pleasing notes that we have come to expect from a Dickey novel, delivered in a style that is sexy, raw, humorous, and thrilling all at once.
