Mark Compton's life continues to spiral out of control. Rebecca's disappearance and supposed death has been hard for him. Though he's doing everything possible to overcome the obstacles popping up left and right, maintaining a semblance of order has been difficult.

To top it all off, Crystal's presence in his life has sent everything into a tailspin. Mark keeps telling himself that he'll keep her at arm's length. That he won't continue to involve her in the chaos he calls life. Yet he knows that ...more

Another in between novella leading up to the last novel (Soon!! Nov 18) and the final installment in the Inside Out series.
We get to follow Mark and the demons hounding him, the guilt over failing Rebecca, over friending Ava & Ryan and the determination of making them pay.
We also get to see Crystal and how much she wants to help him.
A great appetizer that makes me so much more ready for I Belong to You!!
Quick, short read with a fast pace and suspense.

I love these novella's that gives us a little more background on the characters in the Inside Out series. After reading My Control, I find that I like Mark more but my heart breaks for him. I really am hoping he lets Crystal in and realizes that he doesn't have to be alone. I also hope we find out what broke him in the first place.

I love where the story is going and I am anxious to find out more about the roles each individual played in what happened to Rebecca.

The story was well written and was ...more

Mark's POV continues, you see him unraveling from the first book "The Master Undone", through "My Hunger" and now "My Control". In this last book, guilt is eating him alive. He is drinking more and apathetic to everything except Crystal. He loses all control with her and just wants to be in her embrace. He hates/ loves this feeling that is trying to get out. Really, who is this man, what happened to the real Mark? It is heartbreaking to see him slide into this void, until he receives some inform ...more

My Control is just further proof that Lisa Renee Jones can pack a wallop into a very short space. This book takes place after No In Between and follows Mark meeting up with Crystal again Of course, they come head to head and fight, but they also lust (or maybe love?) even more. Hands down, this is my favorite Mark POV books thus far in the INSIDE OUT series. Why? We FINALLY get Crystal's point of view! I have been dying to get into her head. And while, I've loved her from the get-go, if you have ...more

An Inside Out Story in Mark’s POV

My hunger for her has driven me to the edge of sanity, but no more. She’s about to find out that the Master has returned.

In this short novel we are provided with an insight into Mark Compton's inner turmoil.
Mark must face his emotions. He is breaking apart. With the loss of R ...more

This was another short read about Mark and Crystal. And even though I love getting glimpses into their story I hate cliff hangers and this one was definitely that. I finished it today and immediately started I belong to you so I wasn't forced to wait a long time. I am not a patient person so that worked out perfectly. This was a great read in spite of it being short and a to be continued.
I was given this arc by the author for a fair and honest review. ...more

Full Review posted at Book Lovin' Mamas

All in all, this short novella was a delightful, quick read. It has it’s heated and dramatic scenes. (which is something Lisa does very well within stories) Lisa also leaves you wanting more, which has me counting down to November to find out what is going to happen next with Mark and Crystal. I give this book 4.5 full moons and recommend it to contemporary erotic romance readers out there. I highly recommend reading this series in order. It would be more b ...more
