The Turning Series by JA Huss

The Turning #1

[The Turning 01.0] Taking Turns

JA Huss

I’ve never been afraid of the dark...but that doesn’t mean I wanted to live in it. And maybe everyone wants what they can’t have, but I should’ve thought it over before I accepted the key and unlocked the door to their forbidden world. Number One is mostly silent. He watches me with them very carefully. His gaze never wanders. His interest never wanes. Number Two is mostly gentle. But it’s the other side of him I like best. The wild side. Number Three is mostly reserved. He refuses to cross the line. Even when I beg. It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That’s it. That’s all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden. I just didn’t expect to like them. I heard the door open and close and said nothing. And the footsteps coming down the hallway towards the bedroom. I even heard him say, “Hey.” So softly. “You awake?” Like he didn’t want to wake me. I listened as he stepped into the closet. There was that slick sound a man makes when he pulls his tie through his shirt collar. I heard the unclasping of his watch. The jingle of his belt buckle and the shuffle of his pants as they dropped to the floor. I even heard his moan as he stood over me. I could feel his shadow from the streetlamp outside like it was heat. Then the bed creaked, the mattress sank. And his warm, hard body straddled me. Still, I said nothing. I just buried my face in the sweet scent of the pillow and closed my eyes, feigning sleep. “Rochelle,” he whispered, leaning over me. His fingertips gently brushed the hair away from my shoulder. His mouth pressed against my skin. “Did you miss me? God, I’ve missed you. Two weeks is too long. We need to renegotiate.” He nipped my neck. Kissed it. Licked my ear as he positioned himself to begin. And I said… nothing. Even though my name is not Rochelle. That’s why I’m here. Tied up and gagged inside the closet. Sitting in the dark as three men on the other side of the door argue about where Rochelle went, why I was in her bed, and what they should do next. I should be scared but I’m not. I should be screaming, but I won’t. Because this just feels very, very right. And the only thing on my mind is… what will happen next? **Review "#OMG 5 star twisty bendy, hot read...where you are glued to the book as your heart races because you can't wait to see what comes next and where the story leads!" - Goodreads Reviewer - Denise - Shh Mom's Reading™ "This book has been the best I have read by this author, I can not tell you how much I loved it, loved the all consuming deep connection I had with each and every character this book focused on. And like others that have read this book I too can not wait for the next book of this series, this was an epic way to start it off." *Goodreads Reviewer - Kitty Kat's Crazy About Books * "Raw, vulnerable, emotions poured out of those scenes in such a subtle way. Huss gave you the obscene but ensured that it felt intimate. You were a voyeur into their deepest sexual fantasies and you kept your eyes glued to the scene, holding your breath, fearful that even a blink would cause you to miss a moment of it." - Goodreads Reviewer - Michelle New "Taking Turns wasn't at all what I expected. It was so much more. How J.A. Huss is able to write such an erotic, steamy, pantie wetting tale is beyond me. I couldn't get enough. I had to know how the game was going to end and if there really was going to be a winner. Taking Turns is a definite page turner." - Goodreads Reviewer SM Harshell "The characters are complex and well thought out and unapologetically flawed. They will draw you completely into the story and once they have you, they'll never let you go. I was hooked from the first page and remained riveted to the very last word." - Goodreads Reviewer - Jammie Bebout "It's a pretty intense read and masterfully told as always by J.A. Huss. She not only writes a romance, she writes the gritty that we tend to gloss over, the dark that we don't want to admit we have, and then tosses in something that is happening EVERY DAY in the world to give you a little reality check. I cannot wait for book two." - Goodreads Reviewer - a_tiffyfit "I.literally.can't.even. I just read the BEST book!!!! I was so excited about this book and it did not disappoint. The story was dirty, hot, sexy, twisted and dark. It was more then I could have asked for." - Goodreads Reviewer - Lauren Lascola-Lesczynski From the Author It's not what you think... and then again... it's EXACTLY what you think.
