TAKING TURNS Turning, Book 1

Four narrators embody the four players in a days-of-the-week sexual game. Turning Point gentlemen's club members Smith, Bric, and Quin welcome Chella, who agrees to the rules. Each narrator uses a husky timbre and rounded tones to emphasize Huss's sensory language. Joe Arden possesses a daring, teasing quality that intrigues without revealing. Sebastian York portrays the no-nonsense dominant trying to play nice. Tad Branson is the sensitive guy who pines for a lost lover. Ava Erickson portrays Chella's eager participation but also her intense vulnerability. The narrators capture the imagination but not without some stumbles. Erickson's portion has a louder volume and a slightly distracting sibilant quality. York and Arden can't entirely sell their characters or the story's swift wrap-up.
