review 1: I received a copy from the author.I have read and loved all the books in this series including Rebecca's journals and now through The Master Undone, His Secrets, My Hunger and My Control novellas, we are really starting to understand Mark Compton. Mark has fiercely protected himself so that he does not feel vulnerability and pain from relationships. In My Control, Mark clearly can no longer maintain this as the facade comes crumbling down through his encounters with Crystal. Maybe it's due to the loyalty and friendship Crystal has with Marks's mother that allows her in, but she is such a challenge for Mark that he cannot resist her. Mark and Crystal have an immediate chemistry and connection and it's much more than sexual. Mark intrinsically knows that Crystal is hidi... moreng a painful past from him and maybe it's due to both of them having had and now enduring such pain that their connection runs deeper. POV's vacillate between both giving the reader so much insight. Crystal states, "wondering what I'll find, the tender family man that I've glimpsed as he 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?" Crystal is the only one who has uncovered the many layers of Mark. And as Mark grieves the loss of Rebecca he wants "to infuriate" Crystal to gain back and keep his control. But one statement from Crystal and he knows "my resolve to keep a distance from her once and for all dissolves instantly, " but will he ultimately give up his control? Pre-order I Belong to You, release date November 18, and find out the exciting conclusion through Mark and Crystal in this full length book. And then look forward to All of Me for the final Chris and Sara story coming in February 2015!!!
review 2: The more I read about Mark, the more I like him, and it wasn't always that way! He freaked me out a bit in Being Me, because I couldn't figure him out. I still haven't figured him out, but his rough exterior is finally showing some cracks!I seriously love these novellas, they give just enough to keep you sated until the next book comes out. I have no idea what I will do when the Inside Out series is complete! I may start begging Lisa daily for a fix!Mark is trying desperately to stay strong and not allow the events that led up to Rebecca's disappearance and possible death. He is finally realizing that his feelings for her were in fact very real and now dealing with them in the aftermath is messing with his persona. I think that Crystal has a lot to do with this. I love how strong she is and how she won't bend to his controlling ways.I keep rooting for her and hoping that she will finally be the one to break down his carefully constructed walls.I cannot wait for the next installment from Lisa. less
