My Control  (Book 5) Inside Out

RELEASE DATE: November 18th


Blurb
Master...


Being that person, that man, is how I define myself, how I allow the
rest of the world to define me as well. And now, with a terrible loss
shredding me inside out and someone trying to destroy my family to
punish me, control is more important than ever. It is everything. It is
what I need. It is all I need. Or maybe I just need...her.

EXCERPT


Excerpt from I Belong to You (Inside Out #5) by Lisa Renee Jones. Copyright 2014


He pulls me forward and in a few steps we’re inside the elegant library, where walls of books are illuminated by droplights from a high ceiling. I turn to face him, not sure what to expect next with his changing moods.


He shuts the door, and before I can blink, he’s advanced on me and I’m against the wall. His hands are pressed to the wall above my head, but he doesn’t touch me. And I want him to. Too much. So damn much.


“Topic number one,” he says tightly. “You aren’t using your own security people. You’re my responsibility.”


My irritation is instant. “I am not your responsibility.”


“Don’t push me on this, Ms. Smith.”


“You know what? It is Ms. Smith to you. And don’t order me around like I’m your submissive. I didn’t sign your damn contract.”


“I think we’re both clear on that fact.”


“And you were right: We definitely need boundaries.”


“I won’t have my security process compromised by outsiders who aren’t fully accountable to me. You’re using my security team. Subject closed.”


“Spare me the dictator routine. I already told Jacob I’d use your people.”


“When?”


“On the way over here.”


“Why?”


“Because you and my father would be like the Clash of the Titans. You and I clash enough on our own. We don’t need to add more to the mix.”


His eyes sharpen. “Is that what you call what we do?” he asks, his voice a rough, low tone that creates a tingling in my nipples. “Clashing?”


I swallow hard, trying to control the heaviness of my breathing that I fear he’s already noticed. “You have a better name for it?”


“Many words come to mind. Should I start listing them?”


“No,” I say, certain I won’t approve of his choices. He glances at my mouth, and I suddenly remember the spicy, delicious way he tastes. Instinctively, my hands flatten on the hard wall of his chest. “Don’t kiss me,” I warn. The heat darting up my arms tells me how bad an idea touching him was.


“But you want me to,” he says, his hands sliding to my wrists, and somehow he makes it darkly erotic. This isn’t one of our spontaneous moments that we dismiss the next day. This is different, uncharted territory.


He leans closer and I splay my fingers on his chest, applying pressure. “I said don’t.”


“Because you don’t want me to, or because you’re afraid of where it will lead?”


“Because I said it. That’s the only reason you need.”


“Yet you didn’t deny that you want me to.”


“Eve really wanted the apple, and look where it got her.”


“If anyone’s being tempted by a poison apple”—his head lowers, lips close to mine, breath warm and tempting on my cheek— “it’s me.”


My fingers flex against hard muscle. “Mark—”


“I think it’s because you’re afraid of where it might lead, of the power you think it might give me over you.”


I try to tug my wrists away but he holds me easily, a gleam in his eyes. “I never fell into bed with you,” I say. “I was captive to the emotions you were feeling, feeding off those. You don’t have the power over me.”


“No. You have the power. That’s what you don’t understand. You have the power—or I wouldn’t be lying in bed at night remembering how you taste.” He pauses for effect. “And I do remember how you taste. All of you. Every last inch. Your mouth. Your neck. Your nipples. Your—”


“Stop it,” I hiss, knowing exactly what he was going to say next. “I know what you’re trying to do.”


He inches backward, releasing my wrists, and taking the promise of a kiss with him, those gray eyes resting keenly on my face. “What am I trying to do?”


“This is a game. It’s manipulation.”


“I want to fuck you. Many times. Many ways. How is that manipulation?”


“One minute you want to fuck me. The next—”


“I always want to fuck you. I just want to do it my way. With your pleasure at my mercy. Your hands tied up. Your legs tied up. Your clit on my tongue.”


“Stop.”


“Why? Am I making you wet?”


I glare, my only defense against an answer I’m not going to give him.


“I’ll find out myself,” he says, dragging my hemline upward before I know his intent.


I grab his hand and my skirt. “Don’t even think about it.”


“We’re both thinking about it.”


His cell phone rings and he stiffens, drawing a deep breath before his hands fall away from me…

Overall Rating:  4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
How many strikes can you get before you're out? As any former pitcher knows it only takes three and you’re out! Strike one is the death of Rebecca his submissive and possible love that the police are accusing and trying to pin on him.  Strike two is his mother’s battle with cancer and the fight to keep his family’s business going.  The final strike is at his very soul, Crystal, the woman that he cannot seem to live without and the one that takes his control!  This is Mark and Crystal’s story about their journey together.

Mark Compton is in trouble! Someone is trying to destroy him, his family and his businesses.  He needs to be with his mother as she goes through her chemo treatments but he also needs to help run the family’s auction house.  Crystal is his mother’s assistant and she has done a remarkable job keeping things up and running during his mother’s illness and his battle to clear himself.  She is the one woman that he is finding he cannot stay away from and needs at his side.  Mark is a DOM, he needs the control and release that gives him.  Crystal is a woman that does not give up control and is just as strong as he is.  Will they find a solution that will allow them to survive the upheaval surrounding their lives? Can Crystal give him the submission he needs and can he give her the control she needs? Or will the horrors from their past keep them a part?

Crystal knows that she should stay as far away as possible from Mark Compton but she also craves him.  Her mind denies what her body cannot deny, she wants Mark.  She loves his family and the job she does at the auction house.  The glimpses of the man she sees below the surface as he takes care of his mother and father only pulls her to him more.  She wants to give in to the needs that Mark brings to life but knows that he must first heal and face his past.  The more time they spend together working to save the auction house, his mother and prove his innocence, the more tied they become to each other.  Can they prove his innocence?  Will Mark share his past and the nightmares that haunt him?  Read this remarkable book and you will be amazed by the answers!

Hero –Mark Compton: 4.5 stars
Heroine –Crystal: 4.5stars
Steam: 4.5 stars 
Plot: 4.5 stars 
Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! This book has it all from hot sex, BDSM, murder mystery and intrigue.  The characters are realistic and the plot will leave you gasping for more! Book 5 in this series is a must read!

Would I recommend this author: Yes! I have yet to read one of Ms. Jones series and be disappointed.  I cannot wait for her next release!
