I loved The Triangle (Shape of Love #1) by J.A. Huss and Johnathan McClain, which is a romantic suspense novel. The story is told in the three main characters, (Danny, Christine, and Alec's), point of view. Christine starts the story after she wakes up on a couch in a place that she doesn't recognize, she has a terrible headache, blood stains on her pillow, and a bottle of pain pills with her name written on it, sitting on the table next to her. Christine has no idea who she is, what has caused the long gash with a lot of stitches on the back of her head, nor where she is. The next thing that happens is that a man is calling her name while banging on her door, and she doesn't know if she should open it. She opens the door and sees a man who says that he is Danny, and apparently they have known each other a long time. Danny asks her, "What have you done?" and "What did Alec make you do?", and she has no idea what he is talking about. She tells Danny that she has no memory of anything, and the next thing she knows Danny is making her pack up all of her stuff, which includes three types of guns or automatic weapons that are hidden around the residence. Christine soon finds out that she is a thief and a murderer, and that Alec, who Christine has been with the last four years, called Danny and had him go to Christine and get her because he knows that Danny will keep her safe because he loves her, even though he hasn't seen her in four years. Danny would do anything for Christine because he has loved her from the time he first saw her, when she was 10 and he was 14 years old, and they were like brother and sister. Danny now loves her in a very not-at-all sisterly way.
Danny was very hurt when Christine left him to go with Alec. He has no idea what they have been doing the last four years, but he knows that it couldn't have been anything good. Alec is a master manipulator, and he teamed up with Danny and Christine about ten years earlier. Alec is a wealthy psychopath from South Africa. He was born from wealth, has no need for money, but he enjoys stealing and killing. Mostly Alec enjoys manipulating other people to do his dirty work. Alec was attracted to Danny when he saw him at a gym in the United States ten years ago. He met Christine through Danny, and the three of them were a team together, stealing money and diamonds, smuggling diamonds with their help. This book is the about "the triangle" of Danny, Alec, and Christine.
This book is really entertaining, and there are so many twists and turns that you never know what is going to happen next, or who to believe. It definitely keeps you on your toes because just when you think you have things figured out, the story changes. There is a lot of MMF and MFM sex in this book, but it is an essential part of what this "triangle" of people is all about; it is not gratuitous sex, and it seems essential to understanding the relationship that these three people have to one another.
I loved this book! The story is complicated, makes you think, and keeps you on your toes. The characters are wonderfully complex, which adds to this story's entertainment value. This story ends in a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the next book in this series called "The Square". J.A. Huss is a magnificent writer, and this collaboration with Johnathan McClain is great. I highly recommend this novel! I think that this would make a wonderful movie or mini-series in the future.

when is the next instalment coming?!?!
Yes, yes. I freely admit it: when it comes to J.A Huss and Johnathan McClain, there is nothing that's going to stop me from getting my grubby little hands on their books because hot damn. Together, they make one heck of a good story to read. The Triangle was nothing like i would have expected. I thought i'd get something along the lines of the Turning series, but i was so very wrong. This was a mix of K Webster/M Never/JA Huss/Ann Mayburn/Johnathan McClain all mixed into one hella hot book. This was intense. It was dark, hot, chemistry aplenty and so much angst and suspense that i was at the edge of my bed trying to get closer to my kindle so that i wasn't going to miss a single moment of what was happening to these three characters. They were so different from one another that it was fascinating to see how they meshed well together to give each other what they needed and when they needed it. I enjoyed watching their dynamic amongst one another, and loved seeing what they could do because let's face it, we're talking about mobsters and killers here... Am i excited to read the next instalment of this series? Oh absolutely! Am i willing to be patient about it? Not one single bit. Because there is only so long that i want to wait and lately, i don't have much patience when it comes to the good stuff. *ARC provided by Author in exchange for an honest review.
