I’m not a humble person.
I am confident in my capability, for all society considered me less important now because I’m an Omega. I was late to reveal my dynamic, and my personality was already firmly set. You could not erase twenty-five years of self-belief, and I doubted a lifetime ever would.
But, I’m not infallible, and on the day Tolis was attacked I made some questionable choices.
~ Doctor Lillian Brach
Publisher’s Note: The Controllers is an action-packed, dark romance series with a unique take on the MFM Omegaverse genre.

Dr Lillian Branch is assigned with two Alpha controllers – Ethan and Ryker. They are modified to meet Lillian’s needs. Both are sadist, controlling and protective. Lillian has lived independently as long as she could by suppressing her dynamic but danger finds way and she needs her Alphas now. Ethan is so commanding and brutal, Ryker is violent and manipulative. Both are so caveman and controlling to Lillian’s rebellious and fierce nature. There are so many hot scenes and I haven’t got enough of Ethan.
Focusing now on the evil Dr Erison Tsing, he is upto something. I define him as the sneaky snake. I like the concept of this story. Having seen the appearance of Lillian in few of the books I was curious about her, now I can’t read fast enough to know her part of the story.
Nicely woven this is the steamy beginning of Lillian’s story with two deviant Alphas.
Having caught glimpses of Lilly in previous books I was very much looking to reading her story, and this opening instalment did not disappoint. I had expected a little more fight from her BUT I totally bought into her decisions, actions and choices. She’s also pragmatic and knew not to fight battles she could never win.
In some ways I still feel as though we only just scratched the surface of Lilly and Ryker’s characters. I definitely got the impressions that L.V. Lane has so much more in store for them all and only as these events unfold will we truly get to learn everything there is to know about Lilly and her two men. Having only seen brief glimpses of Ethan so far, I’m curious as to how he will fit into the story.
Whilst it isn’t the deepest of most complex of plots, there is just something about the author’s voice that captivates me. Part of that is her ability to craft engaging characters and write then in such a way that I feel their emotions and am soon fully invested in them. I virtually read the book in one sitting, pausing only long enough to purchase the remaining 3 books that feature this trio.
The omega elements in this were somewhat subdued, but we still get plenty of domination by both her sexy Alpha controllers. Included are elements of mystery, particularly surrounding Lilly’s singularity and the experiments being conducted on her. I will be jumping straight into the next book to continue this exciting adventure!
Dr. Lillian Brach has lived a privileged life, even after coming into her dynamic as an Omega at the ripe age of 25. While other Omegas were given to the highest Alpha bidder, she was able to continue her medical work with dynamics and the Copper virus. She defied the rules of society and her dynamic. Then one surprise uprising attack changes her life. When she is given to two Alpha controllers due to her singularity, she is unsure she will survive their style of conditioning Omegas.
This novel was psychological torture in words! The prequel in this series briefly mentions Ethan Black, one of the Alpha controllers designated for Lillian. During that brief exchange, you get the picture Ethan is an Alpha no one wants to mess with, and any Omega in his care better be on his or her Ps and Qs. Let me tell you the introduction of Ethan Black in this novel is scary as heck! Lillian refers to him as “the war god.” There is no kindness in him at all. However, this novel is more about Lillian and her conditioning or training with Ryker Sherwin. Ryker comes from a privileged background like Lillian. However, he has a dark side that he keeps hidden behind his movie-star good looks and honeyed words of compulsion. I think the author only gives us a smidgen of the true Ryker. Ryker and Lillian go through an emotional transformation in this novel. Throughout the entire novel, all I could think is, “This guy is a sadist psychopath!” I am going to assume Ethan is worse because Ryker indicates at different points in the novel that Ethan is more “of a maniac” than him. I enjoyed every depraved word and scene in this novel. I read this novel in one day and just downloaded part 2 of Lillian’s Omega journey. This novel does not end on a traditional HEA but a cliffhanger as Ryker transitions Lillian to Ethan’s care. If you are sensitive to manipulation/psychological mind games, bloodletting/vampirism related intimacy, or want a clean-cut HEA, this novel is not for you.
Wow! I thought the first 2 books in this series were crazy hot and full of Alpha. But this book almost puts that to shame! Lol I love how Ethan gets his little bit of Controller time in with Lillian before he has to pass her off to Ryker. And Ryker isn’t all right in the head. But he is very good at controlling and also very good at manipulation. He figures out that Lillian has a bit of fear about Ethan and uses it to get his own way in things.
I loved this new installment in this series and can’t wait to find out what happens next. I also love how different Lillians Singularity is. And how her controllers have to do things differently because of it. Definitely recommend this Omegaverse! But be warned this does end in a cliffhanger…
Intense and Intriguing!
This was another intense and completely intriguing story. Definitely fast paced and intensely erotic. Way too irresistible to put down!
Lily is an amazing character that is sort of an anomaly. She is quite unique and has a fierce attitude that makes her slightly defiant. Her uniqueness is really enticing and could possibly bring some big growly alphas to their knees. Her interactions with her two alphas is intense and really explosive. I can’t wait to read part 2 of the story to see how much more she can take and if her two growly alphas come together to help her.
Fantastic writing again. Can’t wait for part 2.
Deviant Control-Part 1 is the third installment in the Controller series. L. V. Lane enhances the futuristic world that she built in the first two books. L. V. Lane is a master of dialogue and writing extraordinary Alpha men and their rebellious women. The characters are protective, strong, controlling and hot. The plot is thrilling and full of action and suspense.
We finally meet Dr. Lillian Brach in book 3 and find out that she a special Omega. Her Singularity is so severe that she needs not one but TWO Alpha Controller—and yes, it is mega HOT! Ethan is a beast and Ryker is psycho but oh, so sexy. Lilly is kidnapped and her two Alphas are sent in to rescue her, and so her life changes. This book is so good; the series is one of my favorites!
This book is for mature audiences only who enjoy Alpha men taking control and demanding obedience from their Omegas.
What a twist
There is no way you would be so cruel a to leave me hanging like this –
Oh, wait you live to torment your readers!
Lillian has been one of my favorite characters in this series since the beginning. I was a bit upset (putting it mildly) when it was believed that once she presented she was no longer worthy of being the lead scientist. And to put you know who in charge? I am eager to see him get his comeuppance. I know he is up to something evil.
I have to admit I was very impressed with how you explained the shift in psychological dynamics once she presented and how she handled the transition.
Let us move on to her controllers…
Holy hotness!!
I need more … They both are wells of untapped darkness bleeding onto the pages.
Oh and the lithe tidbit you slipped in about her blood?
I’m hoping that plays a predominant role in book two
As for her old assistant…
Oooooh I am more than a little obsessed with Ryder and Ethan. Talk about big bad alphas. Lily is definitely on a very steep omega learning curve. Can’t wait for book 2.
