Control by Lasairiona Lewis

5.0

When I saw that Lasairiona Lewis was a new pen name for one of my favorite authors, I was excited to see what she would come up with. And I can definitely say that I wasn’t disappointed!

“Control” is the first book in Lasairiona Lewis’ The Protocol series, and it’s Thor and Addison’s spicy, swoony love story. They had this amazingly intense connection, and I was intrigued by them from the very beginning.

Thor and Addison have one incredible tonight together, but when an eleven year old son that he didn’t even know existed is dropped off on Thor’s doorstep, he does his best to change his priorities so he can step up and be the father Matty needs him to be.

One of the things I loved about this book was that both Thor and Addison were extremely devoted to Thor’s son, Matty. Matty is autistic, and as someone who is on the spectrum, I felt like Lewis really did her research about what it’s like to be neurodivergent.

I also really loved Thor and Addison’s dynamic, I thought it was really well-written. Thor worshipped the ground Addison walked on, and Addison did her best to make sure both Thor and Matty felt safe and cared for. I would highly recommend if you’re okay with the trigger warnings!
