Dark Control

Pretty good cover on this one. A good representation of the story. Great composition and title work as well. Not a fan of how large the author's name is, but overall a pretty decent cover job.

I enjoyed this one a lot. I am partial to a good sadist, and this one had that in spades. Some of the scenes even had me cringing. This was a somewhat angsty read, and I can't say I warmed up to Fort until right at the end. And Juliet forgave him WAY too quickly considering the stunt he pulled was not only hurtful but extremely dangerous. I also have to add that I LOATHED Devin for most of the book, but boy did he step up to the plate at the end. So now I am crazy excited to read his book as well as Milo's.



So deets...I found this book to be well written and well paced. The plot was interesting. No OW/OM drama. Although there is a bit of light sharing involved and the hero gets a BJ after meeting the heroine but before they are together. The hero does say that they are not exclusive once they get together but it was my interpretation that he wasn't with anyone after he and heroine began a sexual relationship. The consensual non-consent sex scenes were hot. Although I do wish we would have gotten a few less rigid sex scenes. I think a few softer scenes would have helped me feel a deeper connection between these two. Until right near the end I was feeling like this book was more sex and less romance. Which I think hindered me from buying into Fort's about face with his feelings. The secondary characters were intriguing, and as I mentioned above, I am very much looking forward to their books. The ending felt a bit rushed, but since we will see this couple in upcoming books, I wasn't too bothered by that.

Like I said I enjoyed it, so this one gets two thumbs up from yours truly.
