Complete Control

<b>4 Smut Scale Stars</b><br /><br />In addition to the dystopian omegaverse twist this series offers, this installment offers a little second chance element. Hudson and Anna met a couple years prior during the overtaking of Anna's hometown and Hudson "rejects" her. Although in book one Logan made a comment that Hudson only goes for voluptuous blondes when what he really wants is a petite brunette. And guess who's petite and brunette... <br /><br />Delicious. Hudson was my favorite brand of alpha hole and I just loved him. I am also really loving this series world and omega/controller set up. <br /><br />Not sure how I feel about Lili's story taking four books. But let's find out.

Crappy, crappity, crap.

Alphas who care nothing about what their omegas want for their lives? *me (a feminist) giving it 5 stars*<br /><br />Idk why I think I'm a feminist when I keep giving these books 5 stars just because LV Lane has become my nomination for dirty talk professor? if any of the mysognists in my past saw my goodreads I would be screwed

They had met when he rescued her three years before, she was little more than a child and she didn't understand her dynamic. She's now a little more experienced, better able to manage her attraction to him. The H is fantastic, so tough, and he cannot manage his attraction, he really cares for her. Very fast, action packed balanced with steamy interactions. Just loved it.

Excellent follow-up to book one of the series. This is a story of Hudson whom we met in book one and Anna (Kitten) who is a healer. I adored this couple just as much as Logan and Eloise. Hunter is pure alpha dominance and a natural controller, but he also truly cares for his Omega. I was really curious to get to know Anna's character since healers were mentioned (and not too favorably) in book one. I loved how Ms. Lane let us in to see Anna's inner turmoil as she is torn between her love of healing and her struggle to accept her subservient dynamic. This book is not only scorching hot but also has an engaging plot and a cast of intriguing supporting characters whose stories I can't wait to read.

Much better with the alternating POVs. It’s nice to get into the alpha’s headspace at times. Yes still on my mindless sex romp reading mission!

A well worth pre-order! I could not put this down! <br />This is the 2nd book in this series and this time we are introduced to the Healer Omega, Anna. Her controller 'Hudson' is as Alpha as they come!<br /><br />The book is full of yummy dark fantasies and a heavy load of erotica. In other words, just my cup of tea. Be warned though - this book might make you squirm in places, make you slightly shift positions...so don't read it in a public place. ;) <br /><br />In this 2nd book we also take a look at a new dynamic - the Mu, although very short, we do meet a couple of them and some descriptions are made so we understand them better. After all the Omega universe in general only consists of Alpha/Beta/Omega, and this new Author has added some new dynamics like the Mu ++.<br /><br />The plot was easy flowing, there was a good amount of action - we are after all in the middle of a warzone for most of the book, it was easy to follow and I felt like I had all the information I needed throughout the book - I never felt lost or wondering how "how did that happen?". <br /><br />One of the things that bother me though if I were to be critical, is that there (again) is no knotting going on in this book. To me, this is almost considered "unnatural" to read an Omegaverse M/F that does not have knotting between the Omega and her Alpha. I keep waiting for it, but it didn't happen, and that is disappointing.<br />However, it is mentioned in the book this time so it does exist in the Authors universe, I guess she just didn't include it - which is such a shame. I feel the book could be even better if it was included. <br /><br />Despite my criticism of there not being any knotting, this is a great addition to the Alpha/Omega M/F universe. The author is new and I feel there is great potential! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book. <br /><br />It is the 2nd book though - and even though they are stand alone, I do recommend reading book 1 first, because it does help make more sense of things.

<a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/19017663.L_V__Lane" title="L.V. Lane" rel="noopener">L.V. Lane</a> definitely stepped up her game when writing <b>Complete Control</b>. Many of the things that I felt were missing in <a href="https://goodreads.com/book/show/56196389.Taking_Control__The_Controllers___1_" title="Taking Control (The Controllers, #1) by L.V. Lane" rel="noopener">Taking Control</a> were included here. I'm not taking any credit for that as the author had already written 8 books by the time I came to this series!<br /><br /><br />We had several chapters from Hudson's POV, allowing us to get a feel of his personality, and we got much more story too. The plot in <b>Taking Control</b> felt rather rushed and hurried, squashed into the last quarter, whereas it flowed throughout the entirety of this book. I felt more invested in these characters due to seeing them interacting in a variety of settings. Plus we got to see Anna at work as a healer, as well as experience more of the war and the role of the controller on more than a sexual level.<br /><br /><br />Anna seemingly never really spoke to anyone other than Hudson, and briefly to a recruiter, which is something I hope doesn't become a theme of the books. However a theme I do very much enjoy is that the omegas all seem to have a strong and determined personality, despite how much the alpha's in charge try to suppress them. They have sass in abundance along with an ability to snare their big, bad Alpha's hearts.<br /><br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading the follow up book but need to read Lilly, Ethan and Ryker's story first.

I was so happy to see Hudson get his book. He is the epitome of an alpha. His dynamic with Anna was fantastic. She might be a sweet healer omega but she is no push over.

Complete Control (The Controllers #2) – L V Lane<br /><br />Alpha Controller v Omega Healer – Not all love stories begin smoothly…<br /><br />Our FMC Anna (aka Kitten) has never met an Alpha. For her first eighteen years she has lived a quiet and sheltered life with her unremarkable parents and siblings. She has not yet revealed a dynamic and knows nothing of Alpha/Omega relationships.<br /><br />Hudson, brash and unforgiving Team Leader and Alpha brute. We met him in book one when his team was tasked with rescuing a government minister with vital information on the Copper virus. Not many would cross him, even his own crew jump when he talks. <br /><br />Hudson finds Anna in a destroyed building. She has been hiding from an Uncorrupted crew that is part of the force ripping her home planet apart. She has been separated from her family and on the run for the better part of the night. After Hudson and his team make short work of the Uncorrupted crew trying to capture Anna, he spies her in between a stack of tables and chairs and coaxes her out. Shortly after, Anna reveals as an Omega and the fun really begins.<br /><br />After some initial tension between Anna and Hudson, he decides that she must be disciplined for her own good. He roughly spanks her and this brings on some rather distressing sexual feelings for her. After a brief yet comforting growl from Hudson, he places Anna on the floor to kneel at his feet in a submissive manner. She looks at the bulge between his legs and he advises her that this is not for her, ever. Anna’s lesson is learned and she is changed irrevocably by these events. She is shipped off to an Omega colony for training.<br /><br />Two years pass before Hudson and Anna meet again and their initial attraction flares again when Hudson is allocated as her Controller. She fights this, thinking he does not care for her at all, but this is not actually the case. Hudson has not been able to get the little Omega out of his mind for two years. Thus begins their journey and adventure. Heat level and growl factor in this book rush to fire starter levels as the two personalities clash, but there was never really a choice, for either of the. Hudson really does care and when he finally realises this the moment is rather poignant. I love an Alpha in love!<br /><br />Great plot and character development add to the brilliant world building. You can almost smell the aggression coming off the pages when the Alpha moves to Control mode. Amazing!<br /><br />Usual warnings for Alpha/Omega power exchange, spankings and high level explicit scenes that are totally mouthwatering. Five Stars.<br />
