I have read several books by Jen Frederick and loved a couple of them. Her Woodland series was just okay for me, while Last Hit and Last Breath are two of my absolute favorites…. like ever. I was really excited to see how this book would hold up against the others. I can honestly say this book blew me out of the water!! I read Losing Control as fast as possible and ate up every single word. Let’s discuss shall we?Victoria (aka Tiny) is a bike messenger in New York City. In the first chapter of the book we find Tiny in a doctor’s office sitting with her mom while the doctor explains that her mother’s cancer is back. I think the reason I connected so much to Tiny was that immediately you are thrown into her pain, but also her strength. You get a sense from the jump that she is really vulnerable, but she is determined to bear the weight of what’s happening to her mom. Tiny does what she has to do in order to make the best life she can for her family… including doing some shady work on the side for her ex-step-brother. While reading this book, there were so many times I felt this connection to her and just wanted to give the girl a damn hug. I don’t want to reveal all of her secrets… so just know that this chick is tough and it’s because she doesn’t have much choice.Ian Kerr…. freaking Ian Kerr. I was blown away at how much this man got under my skin. He’s just so F-ing perfect. This is the type of guy I live for in a dirty book. He is alpha, dominant, sexy as hell, but not an ahole about it. He is obsessed with the heroine and he does everything he can to get with her. I loved that Ian never took “no” for an answer and pretty much stalked Victoria until she caved. This book kept me smiling because of the way he had to have her. He never listened to her protests and pushed for everything from her. What more could a girl possibly ask for?Hot damn the sex in this book is so good! I love that you work up to it so it doesn’t burn out right away. The main characters have a chance to emotionally connect before the big bang which makes it all the better. I wasn’t expecting the level of dirty talk I got from these two, so I was shocked at how many parts I kept highlighting. This book hit all my wants for a dirty romance.Overall this book had everything on my checklist for a perfect read. The story was suspenseful and kept me reading. The heroine was tough, but had her weak moments. The hero was a hot alpha who was obsessed with the main chick. The sex was outstanding and littered with dirty talk. I don’t know what else you could possibly want. This book is a two part series and book one ends on a cliff. It’s not a relationship cliff hanger so when I finished it, I didn’t want to stab anyone. Book one leaves it open for the next installment and thank GOD we don’t have to wait long to get it.
