Mark’s POV novella
I have lost the man I once was, letting guilt and heartache define who I am. Darkness has controlled me, and one woman has seen what no one else has seen in me, what I do not wish to exist. My hunger for her has driven me to the edge of sanity, but no more. She’s about to find out that the Master has returned.
•••••••••••••••
REVIEW: MY CONTROL is the latest novella in Lisa Renee Jones’s adult, contemporary, suspense Inside Out romance series. This is Master and Dom Mark Compton’s continuing storyline as he begins to lose what is left of his control. Told from alternating first person POV (Mark and Crystal) My Control is a quick and emotion laden read.
With the whereabouts of his former sub still unknown and the possibility that she has met her death at the hands of someone he once trusted with her life, Mark Compton is a man on the verge of an emotional and physical breakdown. MY CONTROL pulls the reader into a storyline that overlaps the premise of book four NO IN BETWEEN and gives the reader an up close and personal look at a man whose guilt and emotional well being are dependent on the outcome of the police investigation.
Lisa Renee Jones adds another exciting layer to her Inside Out Series pulling us closer to the final reveal.

I follow him down the stairs, wondering what I’ll find. The tender family man that I’ve glimpsed as he’s cared for his mother? The hard businessman who shut me out after the last time I was here and kept me at a distance? The broken man from the hotel room?
We reach the bottom of the steps and though we turn left, to my right is a dungeon door—which makes me consider another option. Maybe I’m about to see the true Master that I’ve encountered only once before in a bathroom in New York. The memory of him ripping off my panties and demanding that I beg “Mr. Compton” to lick me heats my skin and sets my nerves to jumping. I’d asked, not begged, damn it, and I’d been aroused—which confuses me for reasons I try never to think about.
Kurt stops walking and I realize that we’ve arrived at Mark’s private quarters. He rings a buzzer, and then faces me as the door pops open, giving me a nod. Without so much as a word, he leaves me to enter on my own.
I push open the heavy wooden door and enter the familiar room that seems dipped in a soft glow, a massive four poster bed the centerpiece to various erotic adventures draped in sheer curtains. Those curtains do funny things to my belly that I do not invite, nor do I want to explore. But inching forward, scanning for Mark to no avail, I am forced to search the depths of the room, unable to truly see what’s inside, but certain there’s no human outline.
Finally, my attention goes to a huge archway opening that appears to lead to another room. I swallow hard and move forward. At the entryway I freeze, finding Mark standing in the center of a room with curtains surrounding what looks like another archway leading to a room meant for bondage.
I was right. The Master is here—and he’s the man that I’ve been avoiding. The man who is everything that I do not want.

Love this series but sadly, the novellas are reading like a serial. I wonder if LRJ took Mark’s POV and broke it into a serial disguised as several novellas. I am going to read this but I am finding too many books = too much money 🙁
I hear ya. I am not a fan of serials and sometimes the price is a definite stumbling block with serials.
Thanks for the review Sandy. Sounds like we are getting closer to the end!!
