LOSING CONTROL by Nina Croft is the story of two best friends/boss-employee, Jake Knight, the CEO of Knight Securities and Kimberly Rawlings, Kim a Security expert and aspiring gun-slinging Bodyguard. Four years after the break-up of a loveless and abusive marriage Kim had finally come into her own and she is ready to take on a lover. Jake who has had a secret crush on her for all these years volunteers. But Kim is not easily convinced. LOSING CONTROL is very much the journey of just that, letting go of one's past and giving up control of the present. It follows Jake in his relentless pursuit and very sexy seduction of Kim, with her fighting him every step of the way.

I really loved LOSING CONTROL it is such a romantic story but also has some humor and sadness in it. I really loved both of the characters but Jake stood out to me the most, he is very charming, noble, patient, determined and loyal and Kimberly is who he wants but she doubts herself and feels as though because of her loveless marriage she wont and will never be good enough for him.

Kimberly doesn't know how Jake feels and that he is in love with her and will stop and nothing to be with her. The characters were both very lovable and both had their insecurities and were both willing to help the other get over those insecurities. I really loved the fact that they were friends and then went to lovers and Jake used all his kinky goodness to get Kimberly to realize what he was feeling.

The story line to LOSING CONTROL is so cute and just everything I could have wanted from a story and more. I really loved the way the story unfolded and the author did an amazing job and I can't wait to read more by Nina Croft.
