Jen Frederick has created a sexy, mysterious, and emotional love story set against the back drop of revenge and survival.Wow... Just.... Wow! I was expecting a great story from Jen, but nothing like this! If this doesn’t give you a case of “just-one-more-chapter”, I don’t know what will. I could not put this down. This could possibly be my favorite Jen Frederick book to date (sorry Woodlands boys).Losing Control is one HUGE SURPRISE! I wasn't really sure what this was going to be about. I went in sort of blind, but after THAT my eyes are wiiiiiide open. Losing Control has a twisty and unexpected plot. I absolutely loved it!Tiny desperately needs a job. She gets mixed up with her not-so-law-abiding step brother, Malcolm. Through Malcolm, a job with the very rich and mysterious Ian Kerr becomes available. Ian won’t hire Tiny, but he sure as hell wants her. Coincidentally, Ian starts bumping into Tiny in various places around the city and starts inserting himself into Tiny’s life. She’s not sure what to think of Ian. He’s rich, gorgeous, smart……. everything Tiny’s not. How can someone like him want someone like her??? There’s more to Ian than sits on the surface, and the more time Tiny spends around Ian, the harder it is to deny him. What happens when Tiny starts to fall for Ian? Can she save her mom and her heart?Tiny is such a fabulous heroine. It's refreshing. She’s tough and feisty with street smarts not to mention that sharp tongue on her. She may be “tiny” but she packs a punch in the smarts department. She doesn’t want pity, and she doesn’t want hand-outs. What she wants is to take care of her mom, get the money they need, and still hold her head high in the end…. oh, yes, and one more small thing……. protect her heart.(Sigh) Ian, Ian, Ian. He is one surprise after another. He is mysterious with the ability to side step questions while eliciting information at the same time – OMG, it’s so aggravatingly sexy. He’s dangerous yet heart melting. He’s soft and gentle, sharp and rough. He's ruthless but with morals and a heart of gold. He’s strong yet vulnerable. I could go on and on….. (I think Jen may have created the perfect alpha male in Ian.)The dynamic and sexual tension between Ian and Tiny is unbelievably HOT! Tiny’s quick wit and Ian’s intelligence make for some of the most enjoyable dialogue. Jen proves her versatility by writing a dramatically different storyline and characters from her previous efforts while creating an equally intriguing and captivating story.I have to be honest here. I’m glad I was able to snag a full copy. I’m not sure reading a chapter or two a day would have been safe for those around me – I’m telling you……… you will definitely catch a case of just-one-more-chapter. I seriously cannot wait for Taking Control!
