I’m reading this series out and I might reread it. I remember a few couples from their previous appearance in their own books and they are here too. Though the book can be read as standalone.
Hindsight this isn’t my preferable plotline but the scenerio was pleasurable and scorching hot. Lucian is an Alpha who is ruthless and devious. Madelyn is a non-dynamic. This different dynamic is different and gives a different perspective from previous books which keeps me interested.
I really enjoy this series and was so happy LVLane decided to add to the series but from the civilian side of the storyline. I loved knowing more about the non-dynamics and other Greek classes, along as the muted omegas. Getting to see another side of the Omegaverse world while still have some cross-over with some of the previous characters that dealt in the military part was genius. I think it have a better work-building aspect to the series. You get to see how the Uncorrupted are influencing all people and all worlds and that they have to be fought even on the homefront. I love the story between Pet and Lucian, how it evolved. Each one of them came into the situation thinking one think thing and expect a certain outcome, but somewhere along the way it changed, as it they, into something greater for both of them.
Ruthless Control is book 6 in the Controllers Series by L.V. Lane, and boy it doesn’t disappoint–Hotness overload!
Lucian is an Alpha and a ruthless business mogul, who is used to getting to what he wants …
Madelyn is a non-dynamic who is at the bottom of the status food chain.
And when Lucian sees her for the first time, it doesn’t matter what she is–he wants her.
I was very intrigued by Lucian in the Deviant Control books, with his pets and refined manner. I am happy to report that Lucian is everything and more that I expected, even though he is no Ethan, he is a bit of a romantic, which I liked.
The chemistry between Lucian and Madelyn is off the charts, it’s almost a Cinderella story, in the sense that the handsome prince (Lucian) saves the beautiful and feisty servant (Madelyn) from a harsh life, by giving her a way out.
There is way more to the book than I can put in the review and not spoil the plot for you, but know that this book and series is a must-read for all Dark Omegaverse readers.
This was quite a story! I loved the storyline, and it reads so quickly that you blink and its over. It sucks you in from the first sentence and absorbs you into its world of Alphas, Omegas, suppressants and the political culture. I’m always a sucker for an alpha/omega story and this was quite a twist on that. I am trying very hard to not give anything away, but holy cow guys! This is a phenomenal read, give it a try!
I love this series as a whole because it brings different kinds of Omega to the Omegaverse world, because they have gifts. And they are sent into the war because of these gifts.
I also liked how this book had an Omega who doesn’t end up going to war and yet you still get as great a story as the others in this series. The author brings enough action and angst that it is never a boring read. And you get so see things from a different perspective.
Also this book moves the story along even while it takes place pretty much the same time as the last story in the series.
I have to admit I couldn’t put it down and read it way faster then I wanted to! I love a book that I want to finish, but I don’t want to finish at the same time. Those are the best kind of books!
Deliciously Ruthless!
This is an utterly fantastic story with a very sexy but completely ruthless alpha male. I was completely enthralled and captivated by Lucian. He is the ultimate controlling alpha who gets what he wants. He took me on a very stimulating and steamy ride of epic proportions. Lucian draws you in with his smouldering good looks and his fierceness. I would love him controlling me! Madelyn is very different from the other omegas. She’s sassy, witty and very stubborn. Lucian is the perfect alpha to control her. Their interactions are full of rage and intense sexual chemistry. The perfect combination.
This story was phenomenally written and highly entertaining. It was sexy, intriguing and thrilling. I crave these characters and absolutely want more!
Honestly, for real, hands down this is my favorite of the series! I think you can really tell how much this author has grown from her debut book to this one!
There’s just something about the Alpha character of Lucian and his ruthlessness that will draw you in and absolutely not let go. I think the main female/omega character Madelyn is well written too. She’s different from the omegas out there. She has a reason to be and has a hard time coming to grips with it all. She’s always hidden who she is and almost has herself convinced that she’s a non-dynamic … Almost.
I think this book has a bit of everything, lust, intrigue, sensuality, brutality, and most of all a great balance of Alpha/Omega. Not over the top, but not too little either.
I highly recommend this book.
Madelyn is a sassy redhead who has decided she has run out of options so trying to play the most dangerously cunning alpha she knows somehow seems like a good idea. In hindsight she realizes that probably wasn’t the best laid plan but wow does it lead to an intriguing and sensual scenario that I am still fanning myself over. Wicked and wild Lucian is one of the sexiest alphas I have had the pleasure of reading this year. This couple and the red-hot storyline was a winning combination for this reader which I enthusiastically recommend! I am still eyeing my kindle suspiciously expecting it to start smoking at any moment.
I was super curious about Lucian and his Pet after reading Deviant Betrayal and L.V. Lane didn’t disappoint with this installment in her Controllers series. While being a part of the series, to me this book has a somewhat different tone and content from the previous books. Here we step away from the war and into the opulent world ruled by Lucian. Lucian is the embodiment of devious, scheming Alpha who is as ruthless as he is utterly delicious. he definitely finds his match in Madelyn who has her own agenda and secrets. I really enjoyed the slow build of their relationship and the way they both developed and evolved to fit each other’s needs. It wouldn’t be an L.V. Lane book without some significant steam and it delivered on that front as well. I also really enjoyed the side characters (Rhett!!!), getting to visit with Lilly and her boys as well as the set-up for a potential future story (pretty please!!!).
Lucian is the supposedly sophisticated Alpha but he’s just better at hiding his feral nature. He meets his match in Madelyn or Pet as he calls her. Great exploration of submission and genuine dominance. All wrapped up in a well written omegaverse story.
