Trying to figure out the rules of her first lesbian relationship is a difficult task for Callie Emerson. She and her girlfriend worked long and hard hammering out an agreement on fidelity. But Marina is having an even harder time keeping her end of the bargain.
Regan Manning and her lover had a very traditional relationship, built on a foundation of monogamy. Or so Regan thought. She is devastated when she learns the truth, and she is unwilling to forgive or forget.
Cheating partners brought Callie and Regan together. Not as lovers, but as friends supporting each other through tough times. They slowly realize that they could be more than friends. But each has to get past her insecurities before they can even try to make that leap.
It's not easy for either of them - the path to true love rarely is. But their friendship can be a bridge to commitment, if only they let it.

Doublecrossed edition by Susan X Meagher Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
SX Meagher is one of the few lesfic authors where I still have the need to buy any new book she publishes, her standalone novels at least. Thinking about it, she's actually one of three, the others are Georgia Beers and J.M. Redmann.
I feel that Doublecrossed doesn't live up to her usual standards.
First of all, I was disappointed by typos etc. that take me out of the story while reading. Little issues like extra blank spaces etc. I can overlook, but an incorrect name for a character, incorrect/incomplete quotation marks that leave you wondering where the heck the dialog starts/stops is another matter. Granted, there weren't a lot of these instances, but enough to bother me. Another thing I usually never encounter in her novels are point of view issues - there were a couple of those.
And while I usually enjoy her style and especially like her dialog, there were many instances where I wondered who on earth talks like this.
I liked the basic idea for the story, two women meet over the heartbreak of having their partners cheat on them, any discussion of anything but monogamy is rare in lesbian fiction so I appreciated that. But the execution wasn't always to my liking. I don't mind when I don't particularly like characters, even though in a romance that's a hindrance to the enjoyment, but here there were a lot of instances where I wanted to smack either of them. Hard. Not necessarily because I didn't agree with them, but rather there was no character growth or a character's reaction came out of left field. The points that are made are often made repeatedly, which is annoying, and many things are forshadowed - and not very cleverly. Other plot points hit you over the head and you wonder why they weren't mentioned before, especially when there were scenes that, in hindsight, should have included them.
Despite all of this I did enjoy especially the second half of this book.
But I do feel that it would have benefited greatly from another set of eyes to not only iron out the punctuation/typo/POV issues but editing in regard to flow of the story and character motivation. It does come together in the end, but I'm not quite sure that this approach, I guess letting the reader know no more than the character does at any given point in the novel, was the best for these characters.
Callie Emerson has been in a rather one sided open relationship for the past eighteen months. The rules of the relationship were made to suit both parties. But mainly because Callie's lover, Marina, wanted to be free to see other women. Then Marina broke their rules.
Regina Manning and her lover, Angela, have been in a monogamous relationship. That is until Regina found out that Angela had been cheating on her for the past eighteen months with Callie's lover, Marina.
Angela and Marina's affair was instrumental to Callie and Regina meeting. Before long, the two women became firm friends. As time passed, both Callie and Regina began to realize they wanted more than just friendship. But unfortunately, their pasts kept coming back to haunt them.
Will Callie and Regan be able to put the past behind them? Will they allow themselves the happiness they both deserve?
This is an excellent, well written story. Although I didn't particularly like Regan's character. I know she had been wronged by her ex lover, but she treated Callie in such a judgemental way, I felt that I wanted to slap her. It wasn't until the story progressed that I could understand more of Regan's reactions and the reasons why she behaved towards Callie as she did. It still didn't endear me to her though. I thought Callie deserved much better.
As I read on, I became aware that Callie was no where near as affected by the break up of her relationship with Marina as I'd first thought. Which came as rather a surprise. I think this probably made it easier for her to want to move on than Regan.
I enjoyed the book and it had me turning the pages late into the night to find out how the story ended. I will re-read this at a later date as I feel I may get more out of it with a second read.
This is the 3rd book that I read from this author. So far, her books are lengthy (what I love) and high -interest reading. The characters were well developed and interesting. Book ended on a high note.
The book has a very good story line premise. I thought I was going to have a problem with the way interacted with each other but as it turned out, it evolved into a good story. I liked it!
