paddlefoot55 's review for:
My Control
by Lisa Renee Jones
ARC received from Gallery Books via Netgalley for an honest review
I had only just finished No In Between before My Control turned up on my kindle, and I just had to start it right away.
In No In Between we start to see Mark losing control as the investigation into Rebecca's disappearance/murder heats up.
In My Control, he is right on the precipice, we just don't know how much more he will take before he tips over the edge. He is no longer Mr Dominant, Mr Control. He is spiralling and it is not pretty.
His relationship with Crystal is also moving forward - well, in a two steps forward, one step back kind of way. I am glad that Mark has not shut Crystal out of his life, and seems to be opening his heart up to her - well as much as he can, as much as he understands himself at this time
"She quiets the storm inside of me and I'll be damned if I understand it."
"Crystals is slipping under my once iron-clad surface where I've let no one in for ten years. Except Rebecca."
My heart broke over and over for Mark. You could feel his heart breaking as each breakthrough in the Rebecca case comes through, as he finally truly admits to himself how he felt about her. It was rough seeing him so broken when he has always been so strong. I just wanted to grab him in a big bear hug - then make a hasty retreat because you know he wouldn't be up for that!
I love that Crystal is so strong. She knows that Mark is not right for her, not good for her, but god love her for sticking it out when things get a little rough, and for not giving up on him when he needs someone the most.
So, can Crystal break through Mark's emotional walls? How will Mark survive when things come to a head with the Rebecca situation?
Nope, for that you are going to have to read.
Ms Jones packs a punch with every single word. This is only a very short novella, but boy there is so much happening in those pages. Seeing this side of Mark gives the reader a whole new perspective of the man.
Now I can't wait for the next installments in this series, and am anxious to find out how the story ends.
