The Double-Edged Sword

By: Faith J. Engle

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Maura Lancaster felt trapped in her life. She was stuck in the vicious cycle of an abusive relationship with her girlfriend, Gemma, with no foreseeable way out. She was in desperate need of an escape. Little did she know that escape would come in the form of a beautiful blonde woman who was about to change everything.

Sloane Riley was done with relationships. After a bad breakup with her ex-girlfriend, she made a promise to never let herself fall that deeply for anyone ever again. That promise is put into question, however, on the first day of her new job when she meets a pair of beautiful brown eyes that would dare to change her mind.

Together, they embark on a journey of passion, desire, and danger as their secret affair grows into something deeper and more profound than either of them expected.

Will Maura risk everything to be with Sloane, the woman who has shown her what it means to truly be cared for? Or, will she be unable to free herself from Gemma’s oppression?

Tough topic that can be triggering for some

Overall, it was a pretty realistic story. I liked being able to see it unfolding from different perspectives. However, listening with virtual voice is difficult for me.
