Feeling Trapped
Danielle Edwards has the man of her dreams, the one guy she cannot live without: author Max Bland, who wrote a best-selling novel about a lesbian pope. Danielle, however, is bisexual (a fact Max knows nothing about) and no matter how strong her love for him is, it's not strong enough to keep her from wanting intimacy with women. Eventually circumstances arise which force Danielle to out herself to Max but she assures the writer that she wants no one else but him.Temptation
Danielle's predicament is made even harder when she meets Katie, a gorgeous lesbian who does little to hide her own attraction to Danielle. But because of Danielle's involvement with Max (who happens to be Katie's favorite writer) the two women realize they cannot act on their feelings. Unfortunately, they clicked so well at their first meeting that even though they stay apart for six months each of them can't stop thinking of the other.An Offer Is Made
But during those same six months Max has been doing some thinking of his own and he's come to the conclusion that in order for Danielle to feel complete as a person she needs to enjoy both sides of her sexual nature. So now with the stage set Danielle pounces on the chance to be with Katie and then becomes a woman with two separate love lives. But they won't remain separate for long...soon all three of them of living under the same roof, trying to keep their sanity.Fresh & Unique
Fresh, unique and extremely funny, Two For One is delightful with believable, likable characters. The most revealing thing about the book, however, is what it says about romance in the twenty-first century. For instance, when Max tells a reluctant Danielle that for her own good she needs to have sexual relationships with women, he says:
"Look, to hell with the current societal paradigm of one person/one mate, alright? That may be fine for most people; it may be fine for completely straight or completely gay folks but for someone like you it's too confining. Your bisexuality won't allow it. It's a variable that alters the equation."
Open-minded and thought-provoking, Two For One is a comedy with a message: the world is too diverse to put the concept of love in such a narrow box.
