START OF BACK COVER TEXT - In Triple Exposure, photographer Nicky Hennessey is at a crossroads. Passionately involved with old friend Beth Forrester, she must face the painful truth that Beth is unwilling, and perhaps unable, to leave her marriage. To make matters worse, the property that Nicky has bought appears to be a financial disaster. But from the moment she meets Meg, Nicky's life takes a new direction. Still, Meg has her own tangled relationship with jealous, possessive, Denise. Beth, her lesbian affair with Nicky discovered, leaves her husband. Then the horse that Meg has been boarding on Nicky's property disappears under ambiguous circumstances. Meg leaves Denise... And the complications have only begun. - END OF BACK COVER TEXT

What is it about Jackie Calhoun's books? I can't recall if I've ever read one when at least one of the main characters is married or partnered. That means that at least on of them is cheating on someone. The bad part is I like her writing, so I continue to read her books. I just wish she could come up with a different theme for once.

In this book, Nicky is in love with the married Beth. They have occasional trysts and have been together for a long time. At the same time, Nicky is wrapped up in a pseudo-relationship with Meg. Problem is, Meg's partner Denise is crazy jealous and Meg won't or can't break things off. Mix in all that soap opera drama with a dilapidated farm, job loss, and a stolen horse and you have this surprisingly-enjoyable book by this popular author of women's fiction...

The characters are fun and funny to watch, but there is a lot of tragedy--especially on the part of Beth's husband and Denise - as they learn the whole truth. The story is surprisingly easy to follow. This book isn't for everyone, but if you've ever liked Calhoun you'll enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Triple Exposure, June 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Triple Exposure (Paperback)

This was my first Jackie Calhoun book that I have read. I have absolutely fallen in love with her writing and she is now amoungst my favorite authors! This book was so real in the way that it is written and could be any one of our lives. It is so easy to relate to the characters and feel all of their emotions. She keeps you so engrossed that it makes it hard to put the book down. I am currently on my second Jackie Calhoun book and am enjoying it as much as the first. If you have never read any of Jackie Calhoun's work this would be a wonderful book to begin with. I recommend this book very highly and her as an author! Have fun reading!
