This was my first book by Anna Edwards. I was so excited to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed!! I loved It…
This book had Romance, Suspense and Some Erotica, . I loved it from the beginning till the end. I loved James and Amy and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I’m so glad I connected with Anna Edwards and received a complimentary copy of this book! I was sucked in right from the start! James and Amy meet while they’re both on holiday and the sparks fly. James is very guarded and due to his status (a very wealthy man in the public eye), decides to keep an eye on Amy after their meeting. Good thing he did! This book has a good healthy amount of suspense and danger…which I loved…and a good amount of teasing about what James’ past could possibly be about or what might’ve happened to him to cause him to be so guarded with Amy. Amy is a strong heroine but does have her naïve moments. I think that’s what also makes her likable for me. She’s human and wants to believe the best in people. It does end in a cliffhanger, but I always suspect this any time I see a book that’s in a series unless the blurb tells me it’s a full-length novel. I don’t mind cliffhangers and can’t wait to read book two!
I enjoyed the twists and turns just as much as the romance!
Found the whole series on Kindle Unlimited!
I loved reading this book so much that I had to get the rest of the series. It pulls you in & locks you in til you get to the very end of the last book of the series. Couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book!
Loved it!
A quick read; predictable; no depth to characters. Nevertheless, an enjoyable read coming off of a rather difficult book club book.
The sex scenes were steamy. I did not care for the way the male lead treated the leading lady. The book was also too short for me to charge to purchase the next book in the series.
Loved it
This story gripped me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. This story brings you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. A hot and steamy romance with with twists. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
Not a HEA. Not a standalone. I Wish I would have known that ahead of time. It’s hot but not your usual dominant male.
Oh my I absolutely adored this book by Anna Edwards do your self a favour and read this series
There are some books that you can’t put down, that stay with you long after you finish reading and leave you needing more. Surrendered Control is that type of book.
Anna Edwards does a masterful job at extracting every emotion possible from a reader. The character development and world development of this book is incredible. The journey and heartache of both main characters cannot adequately be described in a review; I can only say that this is one of the best books I’ve read. It had a true level of complexity between two people in a relationship that is rarely seen.
The path through this book was so addictive that I had to surrender control and finish it in one setting regardless of the fact I needed sleep. It was absolutely addictive and Anna Edwards is now on my favorite author list. I immediately bought book 2 because I need more. I highly recommend this book.
Surrendered Control by Anna Edwards in the first book from the Control Series, which is also the first novel released from this author.
Amy Jones hasn’t felt settled in a long time, since her parents died in a car accident, although she is happy dancing in her Uncle’s club and writing.
James North is a successful business man who is running from things in his past but he is always in control.
When these two meet in Lanzarote and have one passionate encounter, everything changes for both of them.
I loved reading Surrendered Control and seeing the relationship between Amy and James unfold. James learning that he doesn’t need to control everything and Amy feeling like she belongs.I can’t wait to dive into the next part of this series to see how the relationship between them pans out.
I have went backwards with The Control Series and I can honestly say that its my favorite book series. I love the story and the characters. I cannot wait to read the next book. Love the roller coaster of emotions that the readers and characters have to go on. Great writing!
It was my very first Anna Edwards book, and it got me hooked already. Her writing is unique, the story is thoughtful, a must-read.
Amy Jones is a 21 year old dancer in a strip club and James North is an Alpha Billionaire with lots of secrets. Amy and James meet while on vacation and the sexual chemistry between these two is wild! This is Anna Edwards debut novel and it is a well written story line with well developed characters. Surrendered Control is a hot sexy ride that gets better with each page you turn. It’s full of suspense and it pulled me in from the start. There is a cliffhanger but lucky for me I already have Book 2 Divided Control on my kindle waiting for to go.
