If you decide to read Losing Control by Nina Croft, you are really in for a treat. I found this book to be teasing and fun. It's my first from Nina, and I found her writing to be engaging with a smooth flow.Kim is a security agent, and she's become best friends with her boss, Jake, who is also the owner. They do things like go skiing, have movie night, and generally buddy buddy stuff. Jake was really there for her in the past when Kim really needed a friend. She had just got out of an abusive marriage, and needed to get back on her feet. Present day, Kim feels like she needs to get her groove on and she is looking to the men in her company. Jake gets wind of this and well, let's just say he has other plans for Kim. He wants her for his own, and Jake always gets what he wants.Ok, let's start with Kim. I absolutely loved this girl. She was nave to the point of hilarity. Blind to the fact that this beast of a man, Jake, was completely into her. And when she figures it out, she takes steps to make him less attracted to her. The silly girl actually manages to make herself even more sexy and is just clueless to it. But under that, there is a scared woman who has had a horrible past. She is trying to overcome that, but she just isn't going about it the right way at all.Jake is fantastic. The man is so clever, he is a damned genius, I tell you! His antics over Kim had me giggling, especially when some of his employees clued Kim in on the speech they were given upon her employment. When Jake gets the opportunity to get closer (and by closer, I mean wayyyy closer) to Kim, he jumps at the chance. And the man has some seriously sexy hotness going on. He is imaginative and he brings the heat in some major ways.When it comes to sex in Losing Control, there are a lot of fun times. This author teases you sometimes, without letting you get to the um, final goal. It was great to feel the tension and frustration right along with the characters.  Both Kim and Jake have control issues, meaning neither wants to lose it, and so seeing them come together is something that is terrific on so many levels!All in all, I really enjoyed this book. The characters were fun, yet they had heart.  They flirted and played with each other in a way that had me eager to see what each new day brought.  The sexual heat was mind blowing. The drama was definitely present and accounted for. Jake is a man to love, and Kim is a fireball of fun. I definitely recommend!
