Although both books completely stand alone, in the series timeline, this story technically comes after&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Turn-It-Up-Turner-Twins-Book-2/dp/B004G5Z762/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Turn It Up: Turner Twins, Book 2</a>, which was released later and is Maxine's brother Max Junior's story.  They really don't have to be read in order and you don't necessarily have to read both, but I promise the whole experience is greatly enhanced if you do.  The Turner family is terrific and since Max Junior and his wife Tasha appear here a little bit, their story will make sense and have some meaning if you do.  Plus, it's truly an awesome story - have Kleenex on hand.
