Okay just when I thought I had this story all figured out the author totally blindsided me.  This is one of the reasons I love her stories.  The story really is about Amelia and Justin and how love comes from a twisted start.  Tate is just a distraction and not a love interest.In Controlled we see Justin really controlling Amelia and keeping her under his influence by intimidation or so it would seem.  Justin tries to give Amelia clues as to why he is the way he is but neither Amelia nor the reader can understand where he is coming from.  Eventually when Amelia gets free with Tate’s help we finally understand what makes Justin tick.  Justin is flawed but he really does love Amelia and he is trying to keep her safe in his own warped way and keep her safe from himself.  That means keeping her thin.  I now at long last understand Justin and start to tentatively root for him and Amelia to make it.Justin: “Do you love me?” His soft grey eyes haunted her again.Amelia: “I do”, she said shocking herself.  “But our love is harmful and painful”.Justin: “No, our love just is”, he said.  “I really do love you, you have to understand it”.Some have suggested that Amelia is weak.  I would like to suggest that Amelia is a very strong woman to find the capacity to love a man who is as flawed as Justin is.  Justin really does love Amelia but he has some serious issues and it takes a strong woman to love a man unconditionally inspite of his flaws.  Amelia’s love shines light into Justin’s darkness and she is his only hope for redemption.Right on to book 3 – Freed!
