What kind of woman invites another woman into her perfectly wonderful marriage?
That's what Amy Gage did.
Today, we don't want to rehash a lot of what has already been said, but that's the crux of Razor: Desire's Edge. Amy's unusual request of her husband sets the wheels in motion to change every dynamic in their marriage and relationships with others.
At first blush, the typical person would think she's nuts. But, after reading Desire's Edge, and especially Love's Storm, you must conclude that Amy is a rare breed of woman. She could lose her husband to her best friend. Their family business could be destroyed; their relationships tattered beyond repair. And when some of that happens, Amy is unwavering. She loves Bryce; she loves Raine. She's steadfast in this triad. She chooses polyamory with all its joys and heartaches.
Readers could wonder whether Amy lied to Bryce right from the start. She expressed feelings for Raine that were deeper than simple friendship. She was physically attracted to her. Did Amy know she wanted a more intimate relationship with Raine, and created that opportunity using her husband as bait? At one point, Bryce calls her out, accusing her of precisely this.
Her parents divorced when Amy was a teenager. She lived with her father, a die-hard traditionalist, a veteran, a devout Irish Catholic. Her mother left them behind after being stifled by those black and white rules. Amy's relationship with her mom is weak. Maybe she was too afraid to voice her desires for Raine because doing so would make her feel like the rebel her mother is. Her father and Bryce would disapprove. Then what? In addition, Bryce's mother has played a more pivotal role in Amy's life than her own mother has.
So, is she caught between the loving, steady, maternal figure Lisa Gage portrays, or does she want to embrace a suppressed part of herself that is more like her own mom? The more time she spends with Raine, the more she gives into her latent kink. Raine's dominant relationship with Bryce makes her weak with desire. The fetishes she explores at Lucien's dungeon shock and arouse her. She's eager for more experiences, and Bryce promises to take her back to play. The sexual freedom she's enjoying is recreating her own self-image.
We think she's scared to death of acknowledging her true self, but as the story progresses, Amy is drawn to that destiny like rain droplets on a window pane.
Knowing all this, Amy could be you or your neighbor. She's intelligent, complex, passionate, and beautifully fierce. She'd have to be to create a loving relationship among three people who had no idea polyamory was the end game. At Love's Storm conclusion, she's being set up for the shock of her life. Readers will feel the landslide of emotion heading Amy's way. She'll be forced to examine fully her motivations so far, and the consequences of her actions. Asking those questions and living with the answers is going to be one of the hardest things she's ever had to face.
RAZOR: Desire's Edge by Margie Church and K.B. Cutter
Amy has a core need to occasionally be sexually dominant with her husband, and he's not getting the message. Her solution is very unconventional. She want hers best friend, Raine, a lifestyle Domme, to mentor him.
Initially, Bryce thinks Amy's crazy.
Raine brings a new level of excitement and kink to the marriage. What they thought would be a temporary situation evolves into much more, especially when Amy and Bryce develop deeper feelings for Raine. Their newfound intimacy makes all three examine their views about love and sex outside marital boundaries, their sexual identities, and the definition of family.
Embracing an inevitable destiny, the triad lives on the razor's edge of a happiness many will never know.
