Control is part 4 of the 7 part mini-series.

Control is the name of the game. Jonathan wants it and at times Monica wants to give him it to him.

"When I say you're a king, you are. You rule the world. You have everything. You can do whatever you want."

****4.5 stars****

The 4th installment, Control picks up and continues off Submit, where Monica finally accepts submission from Jonathan. She’ll give up control sexually to him but is determined not to let him take control of any other aspect of her life especially when it comes to her music and ambitions.

"I accepted him as a dominant in bed, and that worked out very well for us. In the outside world, I was my own woman. "

"I could have told her he dominated me, and I submitted by letting go ****4.5 stars****

The 4th installment, Control picks up and continues off Submit, where Monica finally accepts submission from Jonathan. She’ll give up control sexually to him but is determined not to let him take control of any other aspect of her life especially when it comes to her music and ambitions.
.
"I accepted him as a dominant in bed, and that worked out very well for us. In the outside world, I was my own woman. "

"I could have told her he dominated me, and I submitted by letting go of everything I expected of myself. I ceded all control, all emotions, all physical boundaries, and in doing so, I found sexual honesty. I felt closer to him than I felt to anyone else because he saw parts of me I didn't."

What I love about Control is that we get to see dual POVs. The relationship is getting deeper and I have to say that seeing things from Jonathan's point of view sheds new light on the story. With each installment of the series, I'm loving Jonathan more and more. I love how sweet and caring he is of Monica. They seem to balance each other out. Yes, he may be dominating and kinky with his sexual needs, but he definitely shows how much he cares for Monica.. His caring side borders on the need to control and protect her. The need for him to control and protect Monica...is where the problems arises. Monica is willing to let him control her sexually behind closed doors but doesn't want him to control her personal life.

"What you're breaking isn't some little, meaningless coupling. We aren't some casual fuck, and we never were. Not from the first night. Not from the first time I laid eyes on you. You were built for me. I denied it as long as I could, but we were meant to be together. You are the sea under my sky. We're bound at the horizon."

OMG!! My emotions are all over the place.. what an ending to the 4th installment. C.D. Reiss has done an amazing job with each installment and each one gets better and better. Her writing is just beautiful and literally she makes you feel connected to Jonathan and Monica.

It just gets better and better. I am a wrecked mess I hate all the EXs and I know that got some bad shit up their sleeves! This series oozes originality. The story line the twists and turns. You think you figured it out ans CD throws you a blindsiding curve. It hits you and you never see it coming. There are no check lists, no cookie cutter story line. The series is, Not a goodread, A FREAKING FANTASTIC-READ!!!!
