When people look at me, they probably think I’m just an average Joe. They don’t see a man who owns a successful construction company and has enough money to make most rich men cringe. And they definitely don’t see a dominant man who goes home to three beautiful women every night.My days are on repeat, like a scratched album that plays the same words over and over. At both work and home, the words … the words “Yes, Sir” and “No, Sir ” is all I hear.
I control every second of every day.
Most men would kill to have what I have. Hell, back when I was eighteen, I would’ve killed to have this life. But now, I need a change, one that will move that needle and start a new song.
I need someone to take control.

Jordan Conners spent his whole life trying to please his family by helping run the family business. He was leading a life that wasn’t his; one he had no control of. At 25 years old, he decided it was time to man up and live the life of his choosing; to take control and find his own happiness.
The story picks up 21 years later in Del Rapids South Dakota, where Jordan runs his own construction business and leads a rather unconventional lifestyle with three women, Tori, Carrie, and Lyla who obey his every command.
For most men this would seem like a dream come true, but for Jordan something is missing. The girls fill his heart but there is an undeniable void that plagues him. There is a part of him that searches for more; a piece that is missing.
Little does he know that that something may just have walked into his office, in the form of a potential client named Maria Dregon. Instant Sparks fly for Jordan and she ignites something in him he can’t quite place.
Not only is she smart as a whip and fiesty, she is a force to be reckoned with. She is beautiful, strong, independent, and has this air of confidence about her but will she be what Jordan is searching for ? Or will her assertive personality be too much for Jordan?
“Take my control”, was such a gripping read it had me at the very beginning! It was erotic and raw and has everything a good read should. There was love and passion, lust and desire, jealousy and envy, the building of trust and the betrayal when it’s broken and strong characters that each played their own part.
CK Marie made you emphasize with all of her characters by showing us where they came from and giving us a full understanding of how hey got where they are today.
Carrie and Lyla started off as young friends that turned into something more. They have a chemistry that is undeniable and a bond that is untouchable. You can feel how in love they are because it emanates right off the pages!
Then there is Tori. She really stands out to me. As a child she was abused by a lot of men including her father and she became a runaway at 16. She is shattered, damaged , and broken. She enjoys the pain of the whip because it reminds her she is a survivor and that her past is real and of how far she has come. She went from a scared little girl , to a life on the streets just trying to get by, to the current situation she finds herself in with Jordan and the girls in a safe and loving relationship. To me, she has come full circle and it’s captivating to watch. To watch her figure things out on her own while finding herself and her worth in the process is beautiful.
Maria, on the other hand is the opposite of Tori. She exudes confidence and knows what she wants and will let nothing stop her from getting it. She is in control and that intimates most men but most men aren’t like Jordan.
It was exciting to see how the dynamics changed as the characters developed. It was a tug of war on my emotions as Jordan and Maria fought for dominance and how easily they both gave up control to eachother. She put a Dom on his back and to his knees, while he claimed her for himself.
I felt the numbness and them coming alive. I felt the dominance Jordan established and him spiraling down as he was losing control. CK Marie opened my eyes to a whole new world and the ups and downs that come with it.
An easy flowing erotic quickie which I read in one sitting. While Jordan, Lyla, Tori and Carrie’s relationship may be unusual, the angle and ease of the storytelling, made it all feel completely comfortable and normal. The look at Jordan’s past and how he met the girls, to the present time, and their ease of their dynamics as a foursome, was fascinating and there were many sizzling moments.
Cracks appear in this equilibrium, especially when the cat amongst the pigeon flies in, in the form of Jordan’s business associate, Maria. Queue instalove, tension and whole bundle of highs and heartbreak, that had me zooming through the pages.
Jordan had a wonderful life with his three beautiful, obedient women and an amazing career. But he was starting to feel something was missing, he was feeling emotionally unfulfilled. Maria enters his life and immediately Jordan feels a strong connection with her. She is his equal in every way.
CK Marie does an excellent job making me feel the emotions of the characters in this book. I felt Tori’s pain and Jordan’s anguish that he was the reason of her pain. I felt the chemistry and raw sexual tension between Jordan and Maria.
I enjoyed every page of this book and cannot wait to read more of CK Marie’s books.

Until one day, he meets her, the one who makes his heart pound. But will she accept him as he is? Can Maria do as he asks? I look forward to reading more by this author.
