Ruthless Control by L.V. Lane
5.0
....Swoon... Ruthless Alpha incoming .......
Fans of dark scifi omegaverse will not be disappointed. This book is about Lucian and Madelyn. We have met Lucian from previous books and get to know him more in this book. This is book #6 (with three previous couples) in the Controller series, though you don't need to read previous books, it will be more delicious when you know the bigger story arc.
I am giving Ruthless control 4.5 stars. LV Lane crafts her story well and I fall in love with her unique omegaverse/semi-dystopian settings. Ruthless control also carries some mild BDSM tone.
Lucian is an Alpha through and through and like the title says, he is very ruthless and manipulative. Madelyn is a muted omega. Their chemistry is off the chart and they are scorching hot together. Lucian is typical for LV Lane's Alphas. He has anti-heroes personality, possessive yet very caring and devoted to his omega.
The only small draw back I have about Ruthless Control and holds back another 0.5 star is my feeling towards Madelyn. After reading Lily's story (in Deviant Control/Deviant Evolution and Deviant Betrayal which are Book #3-5 in the series), I feel that Madelyn is a little bit weak. Her life only revolves around Lucian and she caves in easily under his pressure. I would love to see Madelyn stronger with more talent ( like Eloise, Anna or Lily). The ending also feels abrupt. I feel there are some unfinished business regarding secondary characters ( eg. Madelyn's brother, Lucian's brother).
Overall, Ruthless Control is a great read. My favorite is still Lily-Ethan and Ryker. No couples can beat them. And I hope LV Lave continues to write more books from this series.
