Marie Altom’s heart-stirring new romance will have you believing in the power
of love—and passion—to heal even the most wounded souls.
Never again. Fleeing her hometown to escape an
abusive marriage, Ella Patton swears she has surrendered to a man for the last
time. But while living under a new name, she meets a kind, handsome stranger
who seems different—and will be moving on soon, making Ella reckless enough to
break her rules. With a kiss, the stranger opens the door to desires Ella
believed she would never know. Then he makes an unexpected proposal.
A dot-com billionaire from humble beginnings, Liam
Stone is a man whose past has made him compassionate yet guarded—much like the
beautiful, secretive woman he stumbles upon in a remote Southern town. Though
he intends only a dalliance, when the time comes to return home to San
Francisco, Liam cannot bear the thought of leaving her behind. But when he tries
to entice her to join him, he finds the tables turning dizzingly fast. Suddenly
a little seduction becomes a huge battle for one thing: control.

My Review
 |
| 4.5 Beautiful Gut Wrenching Stars |
Control is book
#1 in the Shamed series and the first book I have read by this author. I was
given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review so here goes...
I have to say this book completely sucked me in,
it was a hard read and in places was just downright uncomfortable but for some
reason it really struck a chord with me.
Ella/Julie is just heartbreaking the cloud of
fear and sadness that surrounds her was so harrowing I instantly engaged with
her and I felt that connection that made me want for everything to be ok.
Ella describes herself as ‘Dead’ every time she
said it I welled up, the desolation and isolation was just heartbreaking.
To be completely honest for the majority of the
book I really disliked Liam, I thought he was a jumped up asshole with an ‘I am
God’ complex. But then there were moments of sweet, beautiful actions that
completely endeared him to me.
God I wanted to slap Liam when he literally threw
money at Ella, I mean he’s lucky he didn’t get punched in the face.
Willow was an absolute nightmare!!!
Christ Laura Marie Alstom I was on the edge of
my seat waiting for Blaine to turn up, psychos like that don’t just disappear
into the background!!!
I loved the sexual chemistry that fizzled
between Liam & Ella, and I honestly want them to have a happy ending
together.
This book is sad there’s no getting away from
it, this is not a happy clappy lovefest but its poignant and thought provoking
and heart wrenching.
I really enjoyed this book and I’m now desperate
to read the next book.
I kind of fell in love with this book 4.5 stars.
