About this listen
Their romance was a modern-day fairy tale: handsome older millionaire falls for struggling young waitress. Robert swept Elsie off her feet - and into his bed - put a huge diamond on her finger and spirited her away in his private jet destined for happily-ever-after.
Eight years later, Elsie Kolstadt realizes the clock has struck midnight. The five-star restaurants, exclusive address and exotic vacations can no longer make up for Robert's desire to control everything. From her hair to her music, Robert has things the way he wants them. No matter what.
But it's Robert's ultimate, unforgivable manipulation that finally shocks Elsie into action. Though divorce would strip her of everything, she can't live under his roof any more. Making her decision easier is Dion Carter, a high-school football coach with a heart of gold and a body of sculpted steel. Suddenly Elsie is deep in a steamy affair that could cost her everything - because Robert will stop at nothing to keep her under his thumb.

Story
In Tempting Fate by Jane Green, Gabby and Elliott have been happily married for 18 years. They have two teenaged daughters; they have built a life together. So why does 43-year-old Gabby feel like she has only three more minutes left of youth? Why do her friends so desperately try to hang on to their attractiveness? And why does she ever even look at the handsome guy - 10 years younger - at the other end of the bar one night? Gabby is the last person to have an affair - a physical one, at least.

Stefan Zoric is heir to an elite worldwide modeling agency. Practically a prince. My arrangement is simple, as far as sham marriages go.

Interesting
This is a story of a may/december marriage where the husband is rich and controlling and the younger wife wants more freedom and more sex, and a baby. While coming aware of her husbands manipulation, she imagines an affair with a stranger. Then she meets him. It was messy and interesting but I didn't finish it. .

a steamy sexual story with a good plot/soryline
This book is a must read, the sexual content was tremendous with a combination of sexuality and love to its full extent. The storyline kept me captivated and the characters came to life. I'm a new fan- keep writing Kayla!

This is the first book that I've read by Kayla Perrin and it's great. Some may think this book is too explicit, however I think Ms. Perrin was being real with her scenes. Hats off too you Kayla, you defiantly have a new fan.

It's a decent story with a good narrator.
OK overall I liked this story, good character development and interesting story line, It just seems like the ending was so rushed, and I hate when the main character does something so completely stupid and unnecessarily puts her life in jeopardy. I'm always concerned when I download a book with black characters that they're going to make the dialect so obvious and I hate that! Luckily this narrator doesn't make that mistake and that makes me very happy.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
yes, but it could have been so much better
If you’ve listened to books by Kayla Perrin before, how does this one compare?
yes, i like that one better
Would you listen to another book narrated by Madison Vaughn?
sure
Do you think Control needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
yes because, so many things left undone spike, her pregnant friend, and Dana so many things unanswered. but like i said it had been so much better,

I loved the plot and the character development of Elsie
Overall it was a good book. I wish it was longer and had more insight on the supporting characters. I don’t like that after Elsie met Deon we no longer hear about Sharon. I wanna know spike ever came back or if treasure ever came back around and regretted trying to make Elsie stay in a loveless controlling marriage

Don't waste the credit
This was a terrible book!!!! You really can't get into the story because of all the nasty sex every two minutes. Don't get me wrong I like a good romance book, but this is no romance this is nasty porn. If you are looking for something dirty this is it for you, but if you want more out of a book, don't waste your credit.

I thought it would never end
Would you try another book from Kayla Perrin and/or Madison Vaughn?
No
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I could have made it much better. It had a decent beginning. But it took forever for something to happen in this story.
Which scene was your favorite?
I don't have one.
What character would you cut from Control?
I didn't like any of them.
Any additional comments?
The narration was good. It was the writing that was lacking.
