A bold, wickedly sinful exploration of our deepest and darkest sexual fantasies and desires. J.A. Huss continues to do what she does best. She pushes your button, your comfort level, and leaves a lasting impression. For some, it may leave a bitter aftertaste but for readers like myself, it leaves me wanting more. More of her scintillating and tantalizing prose. More of her raw and demanding characters. And more of her unexpected storyline.

Do you like the dark? If so, get ready to fall in love and be engrossed in a story that is beyond our wicked imagination where forbidden meets pleasure. Dominance meets submissiveness. Lust meets desire. And where sex is the key to unlocking the doors of three different men. So are you ready to discover why Taking Turns might not be so bad after all?

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. Three friends who happens to share one woman. Yes, if you are not fan of menage then this book is definitely not for you. But if you are brave enough to step out of your comfort zone and explore an erotic fantasy come to life then let me tell you why Taking Turns is absolutely brilliant and visceral.
As the daughter of a US Senator, Marcella Walcott should be the definition of prim and proper but when Chella decides to exchange places with Rochelle, the current play toy of Smith Baldwin, Quin Foster, and Elias Bricman, Chella discovers that being part of a dirty sexual agreement with these three men might not be so bad after all especially each has their own sexual rules and proclivities. Chella loves sex. This taking turns was supposed to be an exploration of her need for the dark and to satisfy her carnal erotic desires.
But what happens when being in the dark gets sprinkled in with light? Will Chella discover why this dirty sexual game of Taking Turns can get complicated especially when feelings, friendship, and possibly love begins to emerge?And what happens truth of Rochelle’s disappearance is revealed? Will either men want to take turns with Chella after her secret has been exposed?

Taking Turns is the reason why I love reading JA’s books. First and foremost, it’s because JA Huss does not give a shit what people think of her books. She writes stories that are unique and in turn readers like myself flock to her characters and stories because she continues to have readers begging for more. She may not realize it but she begs readers to embrace the dark, the light, and whatever shades of colors that may be shining through. This book is utterly brilliant in a sense because she gave these four characters a voice that was different and allowed each of their personality to be spotlighted. No character was in the shadows. Each and every character were stripped and had their raw vulnerability, darkest desires, and thoughts exposed. So if you are looking for a story that was magnetic, sinful, bold, and erotic then I urge you to read Taking Turns.
