Blurb

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.

My thoughts:

If don't like dirty sex, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. It's about one woman who gets involved with three men, so it's naturally going to include some grubby scenes. But that's not all the story about. One woman – Chella – and three men with three purposes and three very different personalities. The game between the four of them is fascinating as it unfolds.

The book starts with Chella having replaced Rochelle, the previous object of the men's affections. Chella's wealthy and leads a respectable life from the outside, but she has a secret – she wants Smith, Bric, and Quin. She thinks she knows what to expect from the arrangement, but she soon learns that there are some rules to follow. Meanwhile, Rochelle has disappeared, and nobody knows what's happened to her.

This is slower paced than some of JA Huss's books, and although it does have one mystery that leads into the next book, it doesn't have the same thriller elements as some of her other series. But I still loved the story, and I can't wait for book two!
