Taking Control

Jen Frederick — 2015

In their secret world, unspoken wishes for pleasure come true and the allure of glamour and passion can easily disguise a deadly secret. After a tumultuous riches-to-rags childhood, Ian Kerr decided to spend his life focused on making money and it s paid off. Then he meets sassy, smart-mouthed bike messenger Victoria Tiny Corielli, and he wants nothing more than to introduce her to his world of elite luxury and enticing desire. But a businessman as ruthless as Ian always has enemies lurking in the shadows the kind of enemies who violently claimed his parents and are willing to use Victoria as a pawn in their deadly game. Plucked from her lowly walk-up apartment and financial struggles into a glittering world of wealth and privilege, Victoria is almost overwhelmed and almost delirious with insatiable desire for Ian. Then sensuality turns to serious peril as Ian s rivals and the people Victoria thought she could trust close in, putting her in jeopardy. Torn between the temptation of carnal passion and the terror of unfathomable danger, she discovers that the dark side of suddenly having it all is knowing you could lose everything."

Blog | Twitter | Instagram As a note, an e-galley of this novel was sent to me via NetGalley by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way. For my full review of Taking Control by Jen Frederick, please proceed to BOOKEDJ. When you’ve got a book as fun as Losing Control, a sequel can often be a tricky addition. It isn’t always easy to navigate through a second installment when the one that came before it was such a fun experience. You’re often left wondering how the author could possibly top it and expand on their story, if it’s at all possible to add on without watering down its original content. The Kerr Chronicles started off solid in its first book; heartbreaking, tension filled, smutty goodness with a seriously soft and intelligent side. It could easily have you hot and bothered one moment, tearing up the next or basking in the warm fuzzies from cuteness. Jen Frederick is a talent to be able to portray each of these, and more. Each character is developed and comes to life right before our eyes. Tiny and Ian are both something else: phenomenal characters in all the ways that make reading enjoyable. And while these two continue about their way in this second installment, I can’t help but wonder if Jen Frederick’s gotten in a bit of a slump when it comes to continuing their story.
