Control by Victoria Woods
5.0
Yes!! Finally, we get the long-awaited book 1 of Jai and Claire’s story! I’ve gushed about how much I loved Shyam, but Jai stole my heart! I absolutely loved Jai and this book!
Control by Victoria Woods is the third of four books in the Power Series revolving around the Sethi brothers. Power and Empowered and Shyam’s story and should be read prior to Control. Control is part 1 of Jai’s story. Control takes place about five years after the ending of Empowered and Jai is in control of the Sethi family business. We know from Empowered the drama and danger surrounding Shyam’s departure from the business and Jai’s subsequent assumption of said business. Now there’s a new threat to Jai’s family and his family business. One that will ruin the peace in Jai’s life.
Jai is dominant and needs control in all aspects of his life. He meets Claire, his niece’s ballet teacher, and his world turns upside down. Claire has secrets and dangers from her past which she hides from those around her and she prefers to be alone for fear of her past rearing its ugly head. Jai hides the dangers of his job from his family and Claire. Jai can’t help his attraction to Claire and wants to break down her walls.
Jai and Claire fit together so well! They’re both secretive, prefer control, and I loved it! We see different sides of Jai and Claire as they spend time with each other and honestly, it makes me love them more. I adored the relationship Jai had with his niece and nephew; it was so sweet! There was suspense, mystery, twists, and turns. We find out Jai’s secrets, but Claire’s past is a complete mystery until the end of this book, which ends in a completely unexpected cliffhanger. I did not see it coming and I’m so excited for the conclusion of Jai and Claire’s story!
