Total Exposure by J.A. Huss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The spotlight is my enemy.
The cameras are my cure.
🎥
Jordan Wells says he can help me. Heal my soul and fix my fear so I can perform on stage again to a sold-out crowd. His game gives me a reason to go on, but his price is total exposure.
📸
The stranger watching my every move is anonymous.
👀
Or is he?
❓
The daily notes he leaves seem familiar. His unreasonable requests bring out all my hidden fears. And then one night in the dark… his touch is everything I ever wanted.
💌
It was supposed to be a guaranteed win.
🎉
A way to move past the performance anxiety.
🎻
One less thing to worry about in a sea of dreadful things to worry about.
🌊
But what we do in the secret anonymity of night might be more frightening than anything else.
😱
Because I like it. And I want more of it. And I’m willing to give up everything just so I can play this game forever…
Total Exposure
Hot and bothered!

The heroine: Evangeline – was a child violin prodigy who was used by her parents for fame and money. When she started to grow up the money started to dry up since she was no longer such an oddity. She grew up in the spotlight and after leaving her parents she became a recluse with an extreme phobia.
The Hero(es): Ixion (a.k.a. Ix) – his former friend Jordan, that he shares a mysterious past with asks him to do a favor. Jordan is a lawyer that makes things happen and he is working with a psychologist to help a female client in a very non-standard form of aversion therapy.
The Story: In order to get rid of her phobia so she can play the violin again, Evangeline’s therapist suggests she move into a house where she is being filmed all the time and watched by a man. Ix stays in the basement of the mansion Evangeline is staying at. He isn’t supposed to reveal himself or talk to her.
This was sizzling hot and made even better by the narration. Christian Fox has a deep and sensuous voice which hit every button of mine. I plan to search out more books that he narrated. His voice was so perfect for the stalkerish voyeur that is Ix. I loved that name as well. Elena Wolf did the female narration and I have been impressed with her in other books and she did a good job with this one as well. Teddy Hamilton was added for the mysterious Jordan.
There was a lot of mystery in this book. There was a long history between Jordan and Ix and every time he referred to the past, I kept looking for his name in the blurbs of other J.A. Huss books to see if I was missing something that happened in a previous book. Jordan is mentioned but not Ix, so it is certainly possible though the other people he mentioned don’t appear in the blurbs either. Everything was explained as the story progressed and I really like the way it was done.
