Compromising Positions

All Ms. Edmondson’s characters seem to find themselves or someone they love in COMPROMISING POSITIONS.

When Patsy finds her husband in a COMPROMISING POSITION with his bowling buddy, she flees to her best friend Crystal’s house. Crystal offers her a place to stay until she gets her life straightened out. When Bud, Patsy’s husband decides to play dirty during the divorce, Patsy teaches him a lesson of messing with a woman in her forties!

Crystal who always assumed she had the perfect marriage finds herself fantasizing about her co-worker. Will she succumb to her desires when she learns of her husband’s attraction to another woman?

Maureen is a single mom struggling with the issues most teen girls bring home. When she finally meets a man who she feels connected to, her daughter Rhianna is fit to be tied. There is no way she’ll let her mother date her teacher and she’ll do just about anything to keep them apart.

Ms. Edmondson has a full cast of characters in COMPROMISING POSITIONS, creating a bit of confusion in the first part of the story. As the story begins you learn about Crystal, then Patsy shows up on the front door and you are drawn into her crisis. This reviewer felt there was a struggle throughout the story between Patsy and Crystal for the top spot of heroine, but that won’t stop you from wanting to know more about these women.

Ms. Edmondson definitely takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions in COMPROMISING POSITIONS. Once this reviewer got a grip on who was whom she wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next.

Ms. Edmondson did a tremendous job pegging the teen Riana in this story. Rhianna is a scorned teen, who feels she’s a victim of her parent’s divorce. Her storyline was classic case of what teens are capable of if they don’t know the full extent of a divorce.

While COMPROMISING POSITIONS starts out with a bang, it’s hard to decipher each character right away. This reviewer felt it was worth hanging in and figuring it out and would recommend COMPROMISING POSITIONS.
