Publisher's summary

Wendy Gale isn’t the kind of girl you marry.

She’s not even the kind of girl you date. She’s not a friend with benefits, she’s not a one-night-stand, and regardless of what she thinks, she's never been a rebound.

Wendy Gale is the kind of girl you kidnap and lock in your basement so she can’t ever escape. She’s the kind of girl you tie up. You put a collar on her. A leash. Handcuffs. You chain her to things and gag her mouth. A blindfold isn’t a bad idea, either.

Because Wendy Gale is the kind of girl you grab on to - any way you can - and you never let go.

Wendy. Babe. You only need to know one thing about me, okay?

I will never let go.

Gorgeous Misery is a dark romantic thriller about one man’s desperate desire to save the woman he loves at all costs. It is the third book in the Creeping Beautiful series and must be listened to in order.

JA HUSS DOES IT AGAIN!

I JUST got involved with “romance” novels, like within the past 6 months and JA Huss was my first author to introduce to the world of romance and spice. But that’s not what Huss does exactly is it? After reading all that Audible has to offer from Huss and now a few other “romance” novelists, I can wholeheartedly state that J.A. Huss is a MASTERMIND. Out of all the novels I’ve listened too, she is the ONLY author that has me literally emotionally invested with her characters and stories. I can’t believe we’re not done with Sasha and company and I couldn’t be more thrilled to hear it! I’m SO EXCITED about book 3 in this series and as usual Huss DID NOT disappoint. The mind fuckery continues and it’s amazing! I’m absolutely inlove with Mackenzie’s performance as Wendy. I’m so excited for the final installments to this particular story! Cannot wait!

couldn't stop listening

Couldn't stop listening! Julie reminds me of my wonderful, creative, artist son. The talent just spews out from a bottomless source. if you try to tell him what to paint you are missing out on his endless creativity. After listening to Julie's books and her "Book Shit" I see how blessed we are to enjoy their gifts. I love her characters and their stories.

Twisted! I love it

I am so glad that I started these books when they were all out except the last two…. I would have went crazy waiting! The thing about Julies books though…. She is fast and doesn’t make you wait forever!!! Thank you for that Mrs Huss! She also releases them on audio very quickly! Thank you and please don’t be done with this world! We still have most of the shrike kids and their kids!

Worth the wait

I love JA Huss’ crazy dark romances. I am so glad that writers like Huss have a river of ideas and plots and places in their heads and some otherworldly muse pours those stories onto the page. When I first started reading Huss there was a large body of work that I read voraciously. Now I have to wait but maybe that’s a good thing because I don’t do much else when I’m reading this author. I reread the first two books of this series on Friday and Saturday and just finished listening to the third Gorgeous Misery on Audible. This book does have a cliffhanger so you may want to wait until the last book releases to read this one. I couldn’t do it and I’m just going to live with the anticipation. One thing about a Huss serial: It starts out good and just gets better and more interesting and complex and the journey is so satisfying.
Enjoy.

Excellent!

Once again JA Huss has made me wonder what in the world I just listened to and shake my head in wonder at the intricate storylines and plot twists that her devious mind seems to weave by magic. In a dark world where nothing is as it seems I’m constantly amazed at how she transforms immoral characters into friends, lovers and men and women of integrity in a shadow world where it seems no morality exists. You will fall for Nick and Wendy and fall in love with the narration performances of Joe Arden and Hathaway Lee who were excellent in their roles. I love this world JA Huss has created and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

Nick & Wendy with a little Merc on the side!

One of my favorite things about JA Huss books is by the end, I am typically stunned into silence, and the only word I can muster is.....

F*** !!!!

Seriously, she is the only author that I have read (or listened to) in the romance genre that has been able to throw that metaphorical curveball into her storylines, and I just do not see it coming! Curveball is perhaps a bit of an understatement. It's really more like a nuke exploding in front of you. Then left to watch, as the blast radius ripples out and blows apart everything you thought you knew about the entire story.

I'm so excited to FINALLY have Nick Tate and Wendy's story! These characters play roles in so many other "company" books. So for them to have their own leading role is fantastic. I am assuming it is going to be continued in the next book.

I also love that Merc (from "See you in the Dark") is back! He's been so very twisted in other books. So to see him get twisted, it's more than amusing!

This book did not disappoint!

Performance was awesome. Hathaway Lee (Wendy) has become one of favorite female narrators. Joe Arden (Nick) and Troy Duran (Merc), as always, did a fantastic job!

Loved it!!!
