OMG! I could literally feel the life draining out of me as I read this book!
Here are three words to describe this story:
1: Impersonal.
2: Dispassionate.
3: Emotionless
Even towards the end of this book, I tried to care about the heroine's tragic and messed up "reveal," but it just didn't feel right, I just couldn't. I had given all that I already had! This story asked too much of me and took too much out of me.
I now no longer feel healthy...

”Peek into the forbidden”
[image error]
This deliciously, hot, erotic novel is completely saturated in suspense. I was eagerly reading to find out more about each of these characters. The delivery is fantastic, the sex scenes intense, and the mystery exciting.
I’m not a menage, nor a threesome reader, however J.A. Huss grabbed my attention from the first chapter. The story starts off with one of the three hot friends who “take turns” with a woman of their choosing finds out that she ...more

I read this all the while wishing I was Chella, that lucky beech! Is it hot in here?
This is my first book by JA Huss and what a ride. Phew. Deducted one star because of the sloppy ending.

When I read the blurb for this book I knew I was going to enjoy it, I was immediately intrigued.
After reading so many books it's always fun and exciting when you read one with a totally different plot/concept than you've read before, this book gave me that.
Three smoking hot but very different Alpha's, one girl to take turns with.
Smith - Acts like he cares about nothing, is beyond rich, plays the bad boy (very well).

TAKING TURNS: is a twisted new series from the talented author J.A Huss, a delightfully sinful read. I’ve read a few of this authors books but this one just looked delicious!! Spoken in multiple POV’S (Cella, Quin, Smith & Bric) which I love, we get to read all the dirty naughty little thoughts running through their minds. This author did a fantastic job bringing these four different personalities to life, each with their own voice brought together as one unity.

I had no idea what to expect when I picked this book up, all I knew was that it sounded hot as hell and since I know JA Huss writes the dirtiest and most delicious sex scenes, I had an inkling I might like it.
Turns out, I bloody loved it! Not only was it one of the most erotic books I have read in a while, it was such a clever and intriguing story, the suspense was killing me and I loved the whole relationship between the 'quad'.

I'm speechless and I don't know where to start!Taking Turns was brilliant! It was dark, steamy, sexy, mysterious and twisted. I was kept guessing the entire time!!
Everything about the story was well set up, the characters and the plot! Having everyone's POV made the story more intimate!

I'd say 2.5 stars....At times it was good, sometimes a little ridiculous, other times it was hot and dirty!
It had a plot - not well developed or completely believable. The characters were mostly lovable but overcame difficulties too quickly. Also, I found all of the sex scenes underdeveloped and flat.
For more than half the book, my feelings were 4 stars. But after I finished it, they dropped due to plot weaknesses.

Ooh, this was good. Seriously, three men, one woman?! What woman doesn't want more than one man, if only in her dreams?
Three men, each of them giving you something different: what you crave, what you need and what you never knew you wanted.
Smith, Bric and Quin, these boys are naughty, dirty, in fact, downright filthy. And I couldn't get enough of them. Julie weaves her magic with a compelling, original story and this one was OFF-THE-CHARTS HOT!!!!

➦Not entirely what I've expected but loved it still. From the cover some might assume this book is about a gang bang of epic proportions but it's pretty far from it. This book is about 3 men being in an arrangement of sorts with a woman. They each have her on certain days and each of them has a role they play. It's a pretty interesting dynamic.
➦So what happens when said woman one day just vanishes? After all, the rules state that she can walk away any time, no questions asked. Should be easy eno ...more

Wow, I am in awe really. I didn't think any book could beat out my favorite by this author which is Meet Me in the Dark but I was wrong. This book is fabulous.
It’s about the game and the puzzle and the pieces and the relationships. I never knew what was going to happen, you’re along for the ride and when you get to the end you’re smiling. Because not only was the ride phenomenal but the result is 10x better then you could have ever thought and more.

Marcella “Chella” Walcott is a gallery manager searching to fulfill her darkest and most suppressed fantasy. Believing she’s found a way to make it happen, she’s thrust into a dynamic that has many rules but the temptation is just too much to resist despite her own trepidations.
“We’re all dirty here. Be dirty with us, Chella…”
In addition to Chella, there are three other deviant players in this game of lust: Smith Baldwin the eccentric philanthropist, Elias “Bric” Bricman the logical domin ...more

Filthy, Dirty, Sexy and complicated....

I love the dynamic in this ménage / quad relationship, and there's a lot going on in this story not just the crazy hot sex, but just when you think you have this figured out...Boom...you don't!
A must read...really!

This was my pleasure filled reading experience for the weekend. I haven't read any heavily erotic novels for quite a while and I think that JA Huss has reawakened my appetite for them with this indulgent form of escapism.
'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.'

JA Huss takes you on a wildly erotic ride with her latest release. Bound to stir up the romance world with her take on erotic romance. You may have read a ménage romance before, but you’ve never read one like this. There is no skirting the edge of the forbidden, there is only plunging yourself into the darkness and enjoying every heart-stopping minute of this thrilling erotic ride.

I don't think I'm saying anything new when I say J.A. Huss is amazing! But I never get tired of her or her books. She is a one-click author for me. When I saw the cover and read the title of this book, I immediately knew I had to get my hands on this as soon as possible. "Oh yeah, this girl is a dirty slut."
Smith, Bric and Quin...yum! I would like to be in a quad with these guys. These guys are rich. They are friends and co-owners of a sex club. They have their fun and games. And when they find ...more

I am in awe. In shock. And I may need to douse the vaj with more ice than I ever expected. THIS. This is probably my ultimate favorite work by this author thus far and the darkest, most explicit and erotic book I've ever read. Ever. It was utterly twisted, yet so fascinating and engrossing at the same time. It's swoony and breathtaking. I never wanted to put the book down and I could just picture every scene that was laid out. It's outstanding taboo at its darn freaking finest.

I’ve always believed there are some books you shouldn’t research. Some books you need to go in blind so you that you don’t know what to expect. I like guessing about a plot. I like freaking out over what a character may or may not do and what the end game might be. It makes my response to the book real. No preconceived notions. If I learn too much, I lose that. You can never get back that first response to a book. Once you’ve read it, you can re-read it, but your reaction ...more

LOVED this book so much! It reminded me a lot of 321 (only less twisted), which is my favorite book by JA Huss. I was hooked from the beginning till the end. All the characters were unique and very intriguing. They all had different personalities and made the story so much more enjoyable.

I stayed up all night to finish this. IT is really something else. I liked it. A lot. Just didn't love it.
From the beginning I wanted things to turn up the way they did in the end. I was happy about it. Can't say much without spoiling the story, but everyone who wants to read a smexy and hawt book, this is it!
