Control of Five by Aleera Anaya Ceres, A.K. Koonce
3.0
Alright
This was a good book, but it felt rushed in places - or like entire explanatory scenes were skipped. From the slow burn beginnings in book 1, we find the entire harem stepping up and stepping into this one... and it’s hot, really hot, even if some of it makes little sense emotionally. Case in point, Phoenix is still being a raging jerk, yet in one scene he is selling cookies lamenting how much he hates the silly funding ploy and how much he hates feeling anything for her, BUT the next scene he’s apologizing to her! Did we miss a scene? There are a few other moments like that, but o won’t spoil the story by explaining. And it IS a good story, despite these complaints of mine. It’s intriguing.
