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 … 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?

I’ve never read a book of this type before. The storyline is truly twisted and if you want a steamy turn-on read, this is the book for you.
I liked this stand-alone book. The characters go on in other books, but the story here stands on its’ own. It a great MMMF story, and the gal ends up with one guy, even though there is probably more sharing in their future. It was a satisfying read, and I don’t feel compelled to read the others in the series. I will probably reread this one; it’s good enough.
4.5 Stars
This was so much more than what I was originally expecting; what I was anticipating here was a really hot menage type or quad as this actually has four participants and while this was certainly steaming hot in nature and intent this was also so much more than that.
Totally surprised me this did and in a totally good way as well.
This story revolves around a game; A very adult dark game called taking turns.
And what we have here is a decadent descent into all that is sensual and sexy as our girl Chella spirals further down the rabbit hole as she explores in depth her inert hidden nature.
Smith, Quin and Bric all aboard this ride also and all with there own particular reasons for playing.
One, Two and three each with there own set of bizarre rules agreed on by all; the end game, well it’s all four finally playing together as one whole.
As our tale evolves it quickly becomes apparent that one player is much more invested in the prize and is determined to win by giving Chella exactly what she needs to enable her to move forward with himself as her ultimate home.
“I will give you that, Chella. I will fill in the deep, dark hole you’re so desperate to cover up with whatever it is you’re doing here with us, and I will make your longing go away. That’s my present.”
So I adored all the men here But my hands down favourite was Smith; He has such a quirky atypical guy and I adored the fact he was just so intense and didn’t play with a full deck.
He was my main man here all the way.
The others were OK and all but Smith just had that slight edge for me.
So this was an excellent read that was seriously and surprisingly very emotive.
If I had one criticism here for me it would have been Chella herself I did find her at times to be slightly unreasonable in her attitudes to others.
Well mainly Smith if I’m being honest I think she treated him rather unfairly originally and it got my back up hence the half a star deduction.
As a whole, this is one that I’m happy to recommend just be aware before embarking here this is a romance with multiple partners and is fairly explicit in nature if you’re like me then that last sentence will only entice you to want to read this more.
Taking Turns (Turning, #1) is the first instalment in a new series but this can be read as a standalone as far as I am aware the next part continues on with Rochelle’s story.
So I managed to grab this when it was free so I lucked out there folks.
All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own thoughts.

Very good storyline. Loved this book
This story was different and the characters were all so different. Many emotions reading this story.
One of the better well written erotic romances; with a surprising finish.
So sexy! Already recommended to friends!
I have to say that this book was excellent. I absolutely loved the concept, the characters, the rules, the secrets, the lies, the love. And dirty! So, so very dirty. My goodness. If you like sex games, multiple partners, and the mystery of why, you will love this book. I highly recommend it. I wasn’t even finished before I started telling a friend of mine she had to read it. So, read it. So filthy, dirty good.
This story did not hold my interest, and I did not finish it.
I wish I could read the rest of the series. Wow This is hot, hot, hot!!!
Good book. Male characters a little flat but it was entertaining and I will read all the books in the series
Just bought Book Two because I wanted the story to continue. Great read!!
It’s entertaining. However, book never did really reveal each character’s inner needs, and why. Thus, you haven’t learned anything of what drives each character, what motivates them to do what each does.
I have learned alot from reading these books. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.(ha,ha??). But my husband isn’t complaining. Thank you
I could not put this book down. It was a surprise and unpredictable from the start. I had to know why? Why they reacted like they did and I loved it!! Already devoured the next 2 in the series!!!
An amazing story that keeps youguessing until the end.
The book was well written with well thought out characters. Steamy and sexy as hell.
Talk about hot! This book’s sex scenes should be read with asbestos gloves. The characters are wonderful and I like the opulent setting. I’m so happy this book didn’t have the cop-out cliche ending of the heroine getting pregnant. That’s not sexy. But this book had a very nice happy ever after. I wasn’t sure it would because it was the first in a series. But it can be read as a stand alone book. That’s an important feature for me. The only down side was I thought it was a little heavy, but that’s just me. I didn’t a little skimming in the second half. All-in-all a good read.
Expect the unexpected from the very start. Kind of dark with twists and turns that surprise and haunt with some romance but on a bumpy road to where?
First several chapters were so slow I just lost interest over & over.
