Critic Reviews

"If you're looking for something mind blowing, dark, mysterious and panty-dropping-hot, Three, Two, One (321) should be your next read!" (Christy Baldwin, Bookbabes Unite Book Blog, Goodreads #2 Best Reviewers)

Sex, lies, and videotape...

As described, J.A. Huss delivers a dark suspense novel that pulls you in and makes you desperate to discover the truth behind all of the lies. All three of the main characters battle demons and lean on each other as a means of getting through the pain.

I would classify this book as erotic suspense. The sex scenes throughout the book are copious and graphic. My only issue with this tryst of three lovers comes down to implausible suspension of disbelief. JD and Ark perform and tape sex acts in public places. The girls who appear in their videos are vetted to include contracts, drug screens, and STD checks. The "show" doesn't go on unless the girls are clean. When this duo comes upon the heroine she immediately falls into bed with both of them and they engage repeatedly in unprotected sex. I found it hard to believe that they could be so careful with all of the porn actresses in their videos but not with the heroine who they find barefoot, scantily clad, doped up, and on the street. She could have been a walking STD for all they knew about her.

With that said, the story itself was unique and suspenseful. It took a long time for all of the truths to come out of the shadows, but the reveal was great.

The narration was excellent. I've listened to many books narrated by Sebastion York and Ava Erickson and they make a good team for this story. Ava was great intoning and differentiating the male characters thus making the dialog very easy to follow.

At the end of the audiobook, J.A. Huss recounts her process of Three, Two, One. She talks about the inspiration for the book and how it evolved over the 42 days she spent writing it. It provided insight into the story and added to the listening experience.

Definitely worth a credit.

5+ stars! Absolutely loooooooved this audio

Wow I don't even know what to say right now. I'm in shock I think. Shock and mourning. Shock that it was so incredible and totally mourning the fact that it's over. Great story with deep Characters, amazingly hot sex, mystery, and more, all while pulling on major heart strings. I can't even pick my favorite thing about this book as I loved the whole package. Wonderful job JA Huss, and you picked perfect narrators. Major kudos! Thanks for the bonus too 😉

Absolutely amazing story!

I have listen to hundreds and hundreds of books in fact , I don't hardly ever watch TV! I have to say this is one of my top five favorites! The love, the devotion, the darkness, the screwed up heads all make this story so compelling. A must read in my eyes, but if you don't do dark and think life is all sunshine and roses this is not for you. If you see life with it's good and bad, sunshine and cloudy days and most of all love a good love story with mystery and drama then grab it and enjoy! You

Sexy, Twisted, Brilliance brought to life

Listening to this story ( That I already love) brought it to life for me.

What other book might you compare Three, Two, One (321) to and why?

It is in a class by itself. I would not compare it to any other book out there. The story is phenomenal.

The depth of emotion really brought the story to life.

Yes and I could not stop listening.

Mind-blowing!

What made the experience of listening to Three, Two, One (321) the most enjoyable?

The amazing narrators of course!

What other book might you compare Three, Two, One (321) to and why?

I haven't listened to another book like 321 before so I have nothing to compare it to.

What about Sebastian York and Ava Erickson ’s performance did you like?

Sebastian York is one of my automatic one clicks. His voice is rough and sexy, perfect for an alpha male character.

This was my first book narrated by Ava but it will not be my last. She gave each character their own voice and really made you feel like part of the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Jaw dropping

Any additional comments?

I loved everything about this book! It is definitely a darker read with a lot of erotic scenes. It's steamy and it will break your heart before putting it back together again. Not for the faint of heart, so if you're looking for a HEA wrapped up in a nice bow this might not be for you. If you're looking for something unique and different though you'll love 321.

A Part of My Soul

I read the book 4 times and having now listened to the incredible Sebastion York and Ava Erickson narrate it, I can say hands down this always be my favorite story. Nothing can trump the feelings the audible version evoked. I knew these characters intimately before. Hearing their words spoken Ark, JD and Blue are in my soul now. The story came to life and I could sense the longing, conflict, lust, love and desire. I understood them and got more information that was hidden by hearing them speak. My heart beat faster with every chapter. The sensuality, heat and true eroticism came through in ways that you felt part of the scene.Julie Huss is a master storyteller and bringing it to life in this manner is a mind blowing experience.

You've never read one like this.....

If you could sum up Three, Two, One (321) in three words, what would they be?

amazing, suspenseful, hot

What did you like best about this story?

How about everything! JA Huss has a gift to weave a story that you never know where or when it will take a turn and yet it's always the very best in the end.

What does Sebastian York and Ava Erickson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They both did a great job giving these characters voices. You can almost feel like your in the room with them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Several actually, when they first bring Blue home and she says "I can't feel safe unless I'm surrounded..." Later as Ark is trying to figure it all out after the video shoot, "That seals the deal, we're not one, not two, we're three....." and of course the ending, but I can't give that away.... :)

Any additional comments?

This is so worth the price, it will suck you in and keep you enthralled until the very last.

Three, Two, One, My Soul Has Burst

Where does Three, Two, One (321) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Where does this book rank? One of the best books that I have listened to by far. I usually do not like audiobooks but JA Huss is definitely changing that for me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Asking me who my favorite character is, is like asking me who my favorite child is... Just kidding but Blue is my favorite character because she is just so heartbreakingly real to me.

What does Sebastian York and Ava Erickson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They definitely bring the story to life that you don't expect from the book at all. It doesn't sound like they were reading a script. It was like they were actually a part of the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I could if I had the time. Thankfully I did because I had surgery so I have been laying in bed listening to it.

All things should come in threes

Would you listen to Three, Two, One (321) again? Why?

Yes! First of all, the story is amazing. This story sucked me in from the very beginning and never let me go. The performance? Umm. Sebastian York is every girl's dream voice and Ava is Blue. No questions.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Three, Two, One (321)?

There are so many memorable moments and I don't think I can list the ones that really stand out here. But "I saw her first" will probably go down in my 'famous one-liners' list.

What does Sebastian York and Ava Erickson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Life. Voices. Magic. These two bring the words to life. I can hear them, I can feel the emotions. If I thought I had immersed myself into the book when I read it, nothing can compare to the way I felt while reading it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Is this a real question?! Who wouldn't want to listen to JD, Blue, and Ark all in one sitting. The story carries itself and the narrators bring it all to life. Of course I listened to this all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

As a fan of the book, I just knew I had to hear this played out on audio. And this audio delivers. Wow! I'm pushing this book--and the audio--onto all of my friends.

321 is steamy hot!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The narrators brought the book to life and if you thought reading it was steamy, hearing it was way more intense!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Three, Two, One (321)?

The one scene with Blue, Ark and JD - can't tell you more than that without giving away the scene.

Which character – as performed by Sebastian York and Ava Erickson – was your favorite?

Ark and Blue

Any additional comments?

This book is so full of suspense and lust the combination keeps you on the edge of your seat!

excellent book and performance

wow wow wow..what can I say a must listen to. The performance is outstanding. Seb and Eva are brilliant together. I loved it

Three, Two, One (321)

One girl, two best friends, three soul mates. Three, Two, One by J A Huss is brilliant, sad and thrilling with shocking twists you don't see coming! Sebastian York and Ava Erickson are excellent narrators. I highly recommend this audio book you won't be disappointed.

Something different, dark and romantic

Just reread this book so must share what a great read it is! Completely engaging storyline. Characters are gripping. Lots to twists and turns in this story.

Two best friends running a porn channel. They find her in an alley, running away, beaten and starved. They take her home and then this unusual love story begins.

I'd highly recommend. Not a predictable read. It's an unusual love story and your not sure till the end of there is going to be any happy endings. It's a one off story and your not left in suspense or it's not a story cut short when your left to find out from the next book in line. This is always a bonus!

If you like JA Huss you'll love this story. Happy reading!

Brilliant story

Was unsure at first as I'm not into abuse stories but love and problems they all had and the twist and turns in the story pulled me in and I really enjoy it. I would recommend this one brilliant xx

Loved it!

What can I say? I loved loved loved everything about this book and those voices were the perfect match , the sex was hot but the characters pulled me in even more . If I could give this audiobook/book 100 stars I would and for anyone who's read just the book , the audio version is even better

mind opening book

What made the experience of listening to Three, Two, One (321) the most enjoyable?

amazing story, characters. the naughty scenes are mind opening but it is the love story that ties everything together.

What other book might you compare Three, Two, One (321) to, and why?

I listened to over dozens of rom com books and adult fictions, and none of them can compare to this one. A must read.

Have you listened to any of Sebastian York and Ava Erickson ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Sebastian York at his best. and Ava Erickson was also very good .

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the ending made my heart squeeze.

MIND BOGGLING BEAUTIFUL

If you could sum up Three, Two, One (321) in three words, what would they be?

A.MUST. READ

What other book might you compare Three, Two, One (321) to, and why?

It has NO comparison to anything I had ever read or heard before.
After a couple of sleepless nights listening to both Sebastian York and Ava Erickson completely bring this story to life, I was desperate to reach the unexpected finale. I knew it wasn't going to be all fluffy clouds and pink unicorns but I was totally blown away!
This story is like nothing I have ever come across before, and I am delighted to have download it.

What about Sebastian York and Ava Erickson ’s performance did you like?

Sebastian and Eva were born to play this story. The narration was flawless, and it had so much energy, passion and conviction that for a moment you forget is all fiction. Both actors had to play the 3rd character and it never waver or faltered, momentum carried on till the last breath was spoken.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES YES OMG YES.

Any additional comments?

The story takes the listener into a journey of, deceit, lust, passion, sex, lies and ultimately love. But how can Love exist when it's based on lies?
From the moment Blue comes into the picture you realise this is going to be a very heavy and painful portrayal. Having been a prisoner for so long and experienced what can only be described as hell, she is finally free. But one thing is to be free from the ordeal, another is to be free from all the demons which have now taken residence in your body and your soul. Its almost like one of those movies where a person gets abducted and comes back seemingly normal but it is harbouring some evil specie which is slowly taken over ready to pounce and kill. It was like that for me, I was an spectator to this beautiful yet cataclysmic situation.
Blue literally stumbles upon Ark and JD, two men who contrary to their looks and personality have a unique bond. Ark "sees her first" and he is quick to understand that something is very wrong, JD not far behind may have "seen her after", but he is drawn to her immediately. Blue "sees them both" and can't help but feel safe for the first time in a very long time.
Lines are crossed, confessions are made, truths are hidden.

Gritty... hauntingly good.

I really liked the characters and the basis for the story, although we don't want to admit these lifestyles exist - they do and people profit from them.
The sex scenes were pure porn and well written but did not overpower the story behind the characters . Great back story, I'd figure where it was going with Ark, however the ending did surprise me.

Not for the faint hearted

Wow. I had no idea what I was getting myself into reading this book. I don't think I've ever read a threesome book, and this was definitely a threesome book. Not only was it about the sex, it was quite a dark, gritty, suspense. I had no idea who to trust. I don't think either Blue, Ark or JD knew who to trust. Secrets and lies are definitely at the forefront of this love triangle, and it was a love triangle, I truly believed they were all in love. There were so many twists and turns in this book, and nothing became clear until the very last chapter. Is a standalone story told in Dual POV, suspense to the end. I loved it. Sebastian York was perfect as usual.

amazing

I loved this book when I read it but was amazed how much better an audio book was the voices are perfect loved it x
