Losing Control by Jen Frederick

Losing Control (Kerr Chronicles, #1)

by Jen Frederick

Welcome to a world few people know. A world where the hottest bedroom desires become a reality and where good girls like Victoria “Tiny” Corielli shed their sweetness for carnal, bad-girl pleasures.

Victoria nurses her mother through cancer treatments and works long hours as a New York City bike courier to pay for the roof over their heads. When a suspiciously high-paying delivery job thrusts her into the arms of impossibly attractive businessman Ian Kerr, Victoria is sorely tempted to enjoy his attentions and his chiseled body, if only to forget her responsibilities for a while…no matter the cost.

Kerr seems to have it all: money, power, and charisma to spare. What he doesn’t have: revenge on an old nemesis, but he intends to get it. Kerr is prepared to cast innocent Victoria as the lure in his vengeful plot. Yet the more they explore midtown Manhattan—and each other—the more she means to Ian. Will it be too late for him to stop the dangerous plan he’s already put into motion?

Revised edition: This edition of Losing Control includes editorial revisions.

Really enjoyed it

To me this story was a bit like a fairytale with a heroine struggling with her day to day life and a hero who can fix all of her problems with a click of his fingers. Unfortunately Tiny, our heroine, doesn't trust or accept our hero, Ian's generosity straight away. She struggles to give him control of her life, but eventually realises that it is in her very sick Mother's best interest.

Ian and Tiny learn to trust each other and their feelings for each other grow. Both have faced hurdles in their lives but I can tell that this has made their connection stronger. The way Ian helps to look after Tiny's Mum was so sweet.

A decent amount of steamy bits, with a great and believable connection between them.

I really enjoyed the first part to the series and already have part 2 ready to go.
