About this listen
Innocence and naiveté make Amy Jones a rare breed among exotic dancers. She does the job reluctantly...but there’s no hesitation when she meets a mesmerizing, sophisticated stranger while on holiday. Under his skilled hand, she’ll learn the depth of her own strength even as she surrenders to his masterful control.
Successful businessman James North avoids a dark past by hiding behind an enviable career and rigid control - over his business and pleasure. One night with blonde goddess Amy, however, and the blazing attraction that erupts between them throws his ordered black-and-white world into multiple shades of ecstasy.
When innocence and experience collide, the volcanic explosion may burn everything in its path...including the couple’s fledgling love.

Story4 out of 5 stars 522
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Terrific Banter and Chemistry
Fantastic banter, along with great chemistry, between James and Amy really make this book. I really love how they grow together in such a short time. James' mom and sister are great supporting characters and help provide some laughter amongst what could be a lot of doom and gloom.
As I mentioned, the chemistry is terrific. Explosive, even. 🔥❤🎉
"You’re a bad, bad girl."
"Punish me then?"
-- James North and Amy Jones
Things are definitely NOT all fun and games for this couple. Past trauma surfaces and has to be dealt with. In addition, things go decidedly topsy-turvy in the present and come to an unexpected ending, which is really a cliffhanger. (Of course, if I'd read the blurb, I may have known to expect that but I frequently choose books based on title, cover, and/or author. 🤷♀️😁) I'm looking forward to seeing where things go from here.
I read my copy of the book and listened to an author copy of the audio. I really liked the narrator, Kyo Sija. Of course, I'm often a sucker for a British accent. 🥰🎧🇬🇧🥰

Book 1 - Control
This is book 1 in Edwards' Control series and be forewarned it ends in a cliffhanger - no HEA to be found here but plenty of control to be found in both our main characters Amy and James. Amy comes across as naïve and James is smitten from the very beginning and vows to do all he can to protect her. As the book progresses we discover what has our main characters broken, what secrets are being hidden and what dangers lurk around the corners. A thrilling read with an ending that will have you begging for more and wishing for a HEA - but also knowing and understanding where both are coming from. Narration was good - I thought the tone / pitch change for the different characters was a little more exaggerated than it needed to be but as the book progressed I became accustomed to the lilt of the narrators voice. Overall a job well done all around and I'm looking forward to listening to more in this series!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Surrendered control
This is power exchange story about a girl that was raised by her uncle and used to dance on his strip club until when a billionaire goes to her uncle’s club to save the women that was forced to prostitution, James has control issues and Amy accepts him as he is until her uncle kidnaps James mother… the characters are great and unfortunately the book ends in cliffhanger but I loved the story and the performance…

Love the beginning and the end
It’s so weird when you read so many books and you get a set of books that are by different authors, genres and themes and you end up being left with the same feeling. This one starts off with a bang. I fully expected a super dark and dirty read with tons of action. It skirts so many of those themes with out really truly committing. There’s a bdsm theme but it’s really more the idea of it instead of full fledged. Same goes with the alpha male with a broken past. The middle just falls flat with the repetitive we are in this together then not. Plus all the action of the first of the book goes on vacation till the last few chapters and then comes out swinging. The book does leave me wanting to pick up the next one but over all it’s just an eh read/listen for me. The narrators aren’t bad and it may have been the story but I wasn’t wowed by them nor was like disappointed either.

interesting pairing
This follows James and Amy. There are a very interesting pairing each coming to the table with their own baggage/trauma. The characters are well developed and are complex. This has great emotion and a great intensity. The narration is clear and easy to understand. I wasn't a big fan of the narrator's voice for Amy but it did take my enjoyment away for the entire audiobook.
