Jordan’s story wasn’t what I expected. He’s been a passionate guy, a bad guy, a misunderstood guy, a troubled guy, but never really the good guy or the “hero”. I’m not sure he’s the definition of a hero here either. Just know that he’s got a heart and a soul, and they’ve been battered through the years. I’ve loved seeing his story unfold.
JA Huss has mastered the art of keeping a reader guessing, quite literally until the very last words of a book. Play Dirty is one of those books. There’s no cliffhanger, but there’s an anticipation that Jordan’s story isn’t finished, that maybe he’ll have more to say at another time, in another book. At least I can hope. But despite my hope, know that all the pieces of this series come together in Play Dirty. The seemingly unrelated past events become a-ha moments. It’s like unwrapping an exciting, unexpected gift…
Wow! Just amazing! What an incredibly good book, full of so many twists that my head spun….in the best possible way! I am so very glad that Jordan was finally center stage. I have been intrigued by him since the Turning Series, and this series has been so compelling and seriously delicious fun. That’s one of the many things I love about JA Huss’ writing..it is so full of a kind of wonderful, semi demonic glee. I can see her rubbing her hands together while saying..they won’t see this coming!
If anyone was to ask me which was my favourite book by Ms Huss, I would struggle, because when I start thinking about them, each one has its place, but right now it would have to be this one. Superb!
Wow, this book! I am not even sure what to write! I think the twists and turns that this book took left me completely shocked. I honestly, just did not see them coming. Not in the slightest bit — and that is weird, I usually have a pretty good idea where a story is going! It was steamy and mysterious and chock full of things going on. My heart just bled for Jordan. Like I want to wrap him up in my arms and tell him not to worry, everything will work out. I just wasn’t expecting that. But I am greedy… and I want more. I want to know more after the book ended. I want to know more about Augustine and Alexander. I am just not sure I am ready for Jordan’s story to be over…
The final book in the Jordan’s Game series, and it’s Jordan’s game. I loved this book from beginning to end, it kept me on the edge of my seat, just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, another twist was thrown in. It is sexy, suspenseful, and fun, all rolled up in one. A must read series!
What a great book! I dont even know where to start! This lady can do no wrong. She is a definite one click for me.
Well now the Game Master has been trapped in a new game and it’s not even his. When ex lovers proposition you to do as they ask so you can have what you want, sure you give it a try. Not everyone’s heart is in it. You can feel the tension and just want to tell everyone to chill out and just play the game. But trust is hard to come by with some and that little nagging feeling you get is worth listening to. When you trust the wrong person and mistrust the right ones things get blown out of wack so badly.
Jordan will have to come to terms with feelings he thought were gone. With truths the will rock him and new amazing surprises that will shock even the readers! There are also some of the hottest moments I have read in a while. This was a fabulous ending the a great series.
This book absolutely wrecked me. I walked away so many times I lost count, and struggled with the fact I couldn’t finish it. If course, that’s always how stories written by J.A. Huss go for me. I forced myself to sit and finish reading. There are so many plot twists, surprises, and distributing things in this book, that is not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk, and know that it’s dark and twisted, but does have an HEA.
Wow!! Just Wow!!! SPEECHLESS!! PLAY DIRTY put the Icing on the Cake to this Series!!! Thank you J.A. Huss!!! I Loved this BOOK from the Very beginning and Wondered WHERE you will be Venturing in the next chapter!! There are some Twists & Turns that will leave you Speechless!!
This is a Must READ BOOK!!
Wherein the Game Master gets played.
Jordan has been the puppet master. The one pulling the strings. Manipulating the pieces. He even played the notorious Elias Brickman. But sooner or later the thrill is gone. The past beckons when the promise of the present loses its thrill.
That’s Jordan’s headspace when we open Playing Dirty. He past personified comes to town in the form of the love of his youth, Augustine – AND Alexander. IT’S CALLED PLAY DIRTY. DON’T ACTED ALL SHOCKED ABOUT THE MENAGE. But he never did love Alex. He was just a condition to be met to hold onto Augustine – which he didn’t. Of course it ended badly and all that baggage is standing between Jordan and the cure for his ennui – The Turning Point Club. Alex and Augustine own it and Jordan thinks it will fix the gapping hole in his life.
So he proposes a game. Because he’ll win of course. After all, he IS the game master.
Yeah RIGHT?! This is a JA HUSS book people. You know what that means. Layers of manipulation. A roller coaster ride of intrigue. Lots of angst, angry sex, and kink. The Mistress of Twisty delivers on all counts. If you love The Turning series Jordan’s story is the perfect epilogue and it will scratch all of your dirty little itches.
5 Stars
Play Dirty by JA Huss is the fourth book in the Jordan’s Game series but it can be read as a stand-alone. I feel like I say this with every book I read of hers but HOLY HELL this was not what I was expecting at all. The twist and turns had me trying to figure out how it was going to play out and I was wrong with every thought I had.
Jordan is the game master. Always the one on top and always getting what he wants. But when Augustine and Alexander come back into his life, he isn’t sure what their angle is. Are they playing games with him or is there another reason? Jordan is used to being the one to control the game playing-will this be able to figure out in time?
I loved this book so much!!! I swear there is no one that can pull off these plot twists like Ms. Huss can. I get so swept away in her stories that I never want to come out. This book is well written and the characters are absolutely amazing! Play Dirty is a must read! You will not be disappointed!!
Clever ending to a great three book series. Interesting characters.
This was so far from what I expected in the last standalone of the Jordan’s Game series. It was definitely steamy and carnal and all kinds of fucked up—as what you’d expect from a J. A. Huss novel—but I don’t think I realized how broken and damaged and so damn lost Jordan Wells truly was until I read this. We may have known him as the game master, but all along, was he really?
When we first met Jordan and have seen his kind of kink, I’ve always wanted to know his back story. I wanted to know what happened to him and what made him the way he was. Because Jordan Wells was a good guy—we’ve been shown quite a few times the things he’s willing to do and how far he’d go for those he cared about—but he does these things in his own screwed up way.
Play Dirty isn’t your typical ménage kind of romance. It talks about the possibility of loving more than one person at one time and being in a plural relationship, but this story doesn’t stop there. There was so much more going on beneath the surface. If you’ve read the previous books in this series, and even the Turning series, you’d already have had a glimpse of Jordan, the lifestyle he’s addicted to, and the huge question mark that is his past. And this book—it gives you an all-access pass to fill in the blanks you’ve had about this guy.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved getting to know Jordan, but I wanted so much more from this book—I wanted to know more of where that epilogue would’ve led to. For some reason, I felt like I was left hanging after reading that part. Like I missed a couple of chapters. But nevertheless, I was still kept on my toes the whole time, trying to connect, comprehend and put together the puzzle pieces of Jordan’s complicated life, all that he’s been through, and what Alexander, Augustine and Ixion really mean to him.
Wow! This book….this is why I totally enjoy JA Huss’ books!
Although this is book 4 in the series, you don’t need to have read the other books in order to read this one.
Jordan has been in several books, starting with Taking Turns. In this book we finally find out his story. And man, is it messed up! There were so many surprising and shocking things that were revealed. It is a wonder that he was so seemingly normal.
I totally recommend this book. It is a wild ride.
4 stars for – Play Dirty – book four in the Jordan’s Game series by J.A. Huss. This book can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend reading the whole series to have a better understanding of the inner workings of Jordan’s mind. This book is about a MMF ménage relationship – while in comparison to other ménage books I have read this one was very mild/tame, it obviously still has some man on man love – so if that’s not something you find appealing you may want to skip this one.
Jordan Wells wants one thing and has liquidated all his assets in preparation of purchasing the Turning Point Club back from the person that bought it. He is not prepared at all when he discovers the new owner is the only woman he has ever loved and her now husband, whom he also had a sexual relationship with but she chose him over Jordan ending their arrangement.
Augustine and Alexander showing up in Denver offering to sell the building that houses the TPC if he gives them marital help in the form of one of his games throws Jordan into a tailspin. Not believing a word either of them have to say but deciding to enjoy the benefits while they last leads to one of the strangest games he has ever played. Jordan decides to investigate a few things and comes to quite a few shocking realizations about quite a few people and starts to question everything he thought he knew.
In true Huss style this one will not disappoint but instead leave you shocked. With lots of sexy times, crazy mystery and intrigue for days this is not one you will want to miss!
I have to say that I am just in awe. Complete and total awe. Huss’s books never go down that straight storyline. She twists and loopy loops our brains so we have no idea in what path Huss is going to take in each and every one of her books. Which is why I love her books so much! You never get a boring read with Huss.
That being said. This is the final book in Jordan’s Game series. Boy did she go out with a bang! We finally get to see the real Jordan. What has happened in his past that has shaped him into the puppet master he has become over the years. We get to see how vulnerable Jordan actual is. We get to see and feel his guilt and not fitting in anywhere. There is so much going on behind the scenes you just have no idea.
Did you notice that I didn’t tell you about the story? I really can’t without ruining it for you.
Jordan’s games finally might come to the point where he can’t control them. Is he the gamemaker, or is he a pawn now?
Sexy times, suspense, and a shocking conclusion await you in Play Dirty. I tried to figure it out and was so wrong that I don’t know why I bother. No one should try to guess what’s in the mind of JA Huss.
Holy mother of all game makers! This book took an unexpected twist and right when I thought I was finally starting to understand. I spent most of the Book not trusting Alexander and Augustine but wanting to and yet completely trusting Jordan when I know I shouldn’t. However even feeling and knowing all this, I still wasn’t prepared for the ending.
Jordan has one mission and it is but his old stomping ground and bring it back to life. This is why he does what he does. He always gets what he wants and never takes no for an answer.
Augustine and Alexander certainly give him a run for his money though, he doesn’t know their game and why they are putting up such a fight regarding the building he wants to buy from them, but he can only handle so much.
Now truths are revealed and everything he thought he knew turns out to be a lie. He is reeling with the facts and realizes that in order to win the game him might have to leave all the other players behind.
I can honestly say that I have been waiting for this book since the Turning series and it did not disappoint. This book can be read as a standalone but to get the full effect you really should read the whole series.
What an extraordinary ending to this fabulous series!! Just BRILLIANT!!
Jordan’s story was filled to the brim with plot twists, which kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! OMG, and that epilogue, the best ever!!
There is only a couple of authors that got me hook when it comes to a menage stories. Author JA Huss writes the most memorable menage stories ever, and her writing is flawless and so vivid, that she makes you feel like you’re there with them.
Alexander and Augustine were a perfect match for Jordan. I love getting to know who he really was in the inside, and following his story, which has been an emotional roller coaster for me. I JUST LOVE IT!!
I highly recommend this amazing story. Expect the unexpected, and enjoy the ride!!
Each book in this series can be read as standalone!!
The master game player finally gets caught up in his own game and every step of the way kept me intrigued. I never knew what was going to happen, what was motivating the players and if anyone else was involved. This story has so many twists and turns that I couldn’t set the book down until I knew all the secrets that had forged Jordan’s life. And oh man are there secrets.
This is a menage that is not really my thing but if done right I can accept it. I appreciated these characters and their struggles but I did have a hard time feeling a true emotional connection between them other than what they had shared in the past. There is certainly plenty of steam and chemistry between all three of them but Jordan was floundering as he was forced to confront his past and how that had affected his present self. I actually hurt for him and wanted him to find peace not within a building but within himself.
Overall, this was a great book! Huss knows how to dangle the bait in front of you before springing the trap. It’s a tried and true method she uses repeatedly and even though I know it, I freely walk into it each time.
In a word… Mysterious.
Jordan was always a puzzle, a mysterious guy, and there’s no way his story wouldn’t be the same.
Who’s the master and who are the puppets of this game. Who’s moving the pieces in Jordan life?
As always I fail to know what were the twist and turns and how the plot was going to pan out, I will keep trying!! LOL
So get to know who is really Jordan Wells get this book!!
My only wish was that there were more time spend with the three of them, I wanted to really get to know them as a couple and I felt like I didn’t get enough of that aspect of Jordan life.
