Dangerous Control kindle cover

Not all fantasies are safe, sane, and consensual. Welcome to the world of The Gallery…

Milo Fierro lives for two things, dominance and music. At The Gallery, where depravity rules, he’s known for his passionate desires, but on the outside, he’s learned to hide beneath a veneer of dark-eyed professionalism. It’s too dangerous to be himself. Most women don’t understand.
Alice definitely doesn’t understand. Her father was his violin teacher for years, and now that she and Milo are adults, she thinks they can be friends. The girl he knew as “Lala” draws him in with her grace and kindness, unaware of his ugly, hidden side. He can’t touch her, or even stand near her. He doesn’t dare reach out to her, no matter how much her talent and beauty inflames his lusts. She deserves better, deserves a man who’s nothing like him…
If only she wasn’t so impossible to resist.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars





I've read all the previous books in this series before getting my hands on Dangerous Control by Annabel Joseph, so i really did know what i was getting into when i picked up this book. The first book in the series was the one that touched me the most, because it was new and we're looking at the seedy aspect of BDSM and how a club would use their rules to ensure that no submissives were safe from other Dominants. Then, the second instalment left me with that feeling of 'meh', but it was still very good, keeping me entertained as i read the characters' story.

Now we have Dangerous Control, Massimiliano and Alice's story. Compared to the previous instalments, these two have a long history. They've known one another since their childhood and have had this love/hate relationship between one another. Love because no matter what, they will always care for one another, even with their distance. The hate part - well, there's this aspect that Milo thinks Alice can't handle, his Dominance and Sadism, which i'll admit is interesting to watch him with her in the few scenes we've been privy to read in this novel. So that dynamic, the love/hate, was almost, at times, infuriating. I get it. I really do. Can a sadist truly love someone even if they crave hurting them?

That part was a bit annoying from Milo - but that's probably just me. As for Alice, well, she's quite the people pleaser, but she does have a backbone. I still wonder if it were any other person than Milo, would she have craved the pain as much as she did in this book. I think that's the million dollar question - is masochism linked to the person that deals the pain or is it an innate need? That, ladies and gents, is subject to personal views and what this author has done was pretty much show another side to this type of relationship that shows just how far love will push an individual to show their need for the other.

Excerpt:
I let out a tortured breath and pressed harder against her, body to body. If we weren’t clothed, I’d be inside her. I wouldn’t have been able to go for a condom. I would have just thrust inside her and ridden her without mercy. Gentle lovemaking? Fuck. Even with clothes between us, I could feel myself turning to a monster, wanting to devour her, consume her, possess her with rough, unrestrained passion born of too much longing. Years of longing. My body still tried to argue with my mind, as I pulled her thighs wider and slid my body against hers, mimicking penetration. Maybe she was into violence. Maybe she was into rough sex. Maybe she wanted a monster for a lover. Maybe she was into dungeons where submissive women served Dominant men and weren’t allowed safe words. Maybe... Maybe I could restrain myself before I revealed the depth of my perversion, and destroyed our friendship for life. I pulled away, exerting the most effort I’d ever exerted in anything, missing her taste before our lips even parted. My whole body trembled at the physical agony of parting our bodies when I wanted her so much. “Wait,” I said. I forced myself off the couch to kneel beside her. “Please, we can’t do this. If we start, things will go too far…”
