'Thor:
Protocol. Routine. Control.
Not anymore.
My life turned on a dime in the blink of an eye. From making pancakes for the curvy redhead I met at the club, to being the single dad of an autistic, eleven-year-old boy.
I need help.
She needs a job.
I’m usually a one-and-done kind of guy, but she draws me in, holding me hostage with her green eyes and sass.
I’m playing with fire. But maybe this time, I want to burn.
Addison:
Things I expect after a one night stand: breakfast, small talk, maybe even another O before the awkward walk of shame in last night’s clothes.
I don’t expect to open the door to his house and find a kid surrounded by all his earthly possessions.
Fired from my job, homeless, and the perpetual screw-up of my family... How can I even think about caring for someone else’s child when I’m incapable of looking after myself?'
Control is the first book is Lasairiona's brand new series based on the 'Protocol' club. We were first introduced to this club back in Austin and Mackenzie's story 'Two for Boarding'. In fact we first met both of our main characters in that book. Addison is one of Mackenzie's friends, while Thor was the barman working that night.
Thor and Addison's story is told over the course of 30 mouth watering chapters as well as an epilogue. Oh as well as a sneaky bonus scene that is separate but more on that later. This story not only jumps straight into these two characters seeing each other again outside of the club but also goes straight into the flirting that I must say is just as delicious as those spicy scenes we all love!
Thor is a single dad who is also a Dom, he is the type of Dom that if I am honest I wouldn't mind meeting myself. Thor is a certified one night stand man who is very upfront with his partners about their expectations of the encounter and afterwards. Don't we all love an honest man who also happens to look like a god?
Addison is a women who knows what she wants though she is having a hard time at the moment. This hardship is through no fault of her own, the cards were not working in her favour. Though I like to think that it all changed. Addison is also the type of girl who lives and breathes the phrase 'mates before dates'. This is just one of the characteristics you will love about her.
So let's talk spicy scenes, there are quite a few in this book. Now I don't how the author does it but somehow she manages to one up her spicy scenes with every book she publishes. Now I was expecting kinky spice since this series is based on a Kinky club. However I somehow am still shocked (in the best way) at the spicy scenes that were delivered.
Throughout this book, whether the topic was kink or Thor's austistic son readers are able to tell how much research and effort that author put in to ensure that it was factually correct. I will admit when Thor's basement was being described I may have had to google the odd item mentioned.
As mentioned there is a bonus scene that is offered up at the end of the book, if readers want more (I certainly did). This bonus scene was somehow spicy 2.0, I read it on a bus and felt so naughty doing so. I don't want to say much but I will say that.
One thing to note with this book, as with the author's previous works there is a content warning at the beginning of this book. Please take note of this warning and don't continue if you are not comfortable with the subjects mentioned.
Overall this book really set the bar high when it comes to this new series. I loved reading Thor and Addison's journey and if anything with the background characters of the club mentioned it makes me very excited to see whose story we are getting next. Check out this book yourself HERE.
Until Next Time
