Three, Two, One: 321

by J.A. Huss

ONE GIRL
Battered, barefoot, and huddled under a bookstore awning in the pouring rain, Blue only knows one thing. After fifteen months of captivity, finally... she is free.

TWO FRIENDS
Self-made millionaires JD and Ark are not out to save anyone when they stumble upon a wet and shivering girl one early Sunday morning. But when you sell sex for a living and salvation rings your bell... you answer the call.

THREE SOULMATES
After years of searching, love lifts the veil of darkness, and three people--with three very big secrets--find themselves bound together in a relationship that defies the odds.

Or does it?
Love. Lust. Sex.
This trinity might be perfection... but not everything should come in 3's.

WARNING: This is a STANDALONE non-traditional M/F/M ROMANCE with a non-traditional ending.

YES!
+M/F/M and M/M/F!
+DP!
+A mystery! I really wanted to know what the heck was going on here?! But then all was revealed...

NO!
-No protection. Ew.
-Ark is a super hypocrite. He judges people who do porn, even though he films porn. But that's different because he doesn't DO porn...except for when he does.
-Blue has no personality traits outside of horny.
-Blue's big reveal was unique, but I just did not care at all. It's a fairly typical one for this author, even though I hadn't read it before. It was just...blah.
-Blue's whole "I don't want to embarrass my family" argument for not coming forward was stupid. That is a stupid reason. She was involved in something horrific! Yes, some people will judge, but come on! She just wants to stay in her little fantasy bubble of being boned by two hot guys on the regular.
-Ark demands answers from Blue about who had her, but she doesn't know because of drugs, blindfolds, masks, darkness, etc. But he meets the person who admits it all to him, and Ark just blows it off. Um...bro? You got your answers?! From the source! What?! But then I guess the book would have ended too early, so...
-It drags on FOREVER! I mean, Ark had a full on conversation with the bad guy and ignores it! Well, it's more like the author chose to ignore it so there could be another big reveal which I also did not care about! It just went on and on and on and on...

I am torn - on one hand I didn't LOVE this story, on the other I am not sure why not. While I would say there are three main characters, the story is told in only two points of view. That made it difficult to connect with them all. Being a character driven reader, this was hard for me. However the two I got to know well, Blue and Ark, were fascinating and at times extremely disturbed and broken people to get to know.

As I have come to expect from Huss, this story is more than what is on the surface. There is a deeper hidden story, and some twists and turns that you won't see coming. Beneath all the sex and blow jobs there is a mystery. Hidden agendas. People who are not what they seem to be. And people who are exactly what you might expect.

While I didn't connect with this one, it most certainly will not be my last book by Huss. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have read of hers, this just missed the mark for me for reasons beyond my understanding. Let me know if you have read it, and what you think!
