I BELONG TO YOU

• release day 18 November 2014
Inside Out #5
We suggest reading all the other books in this series before starting with this one - but if you don't want to (why not o.O???) you should at least read Mark's Novellas:


The Master Undone
My Hunger
My Control

★★★★★

5 Stars





Master… 
 
Being that person, that man is how I define myself, how I allow the rest of the world to define me as well. And now, with a terrible loss shredding me inside out and someone trying to destroy my family to punish me, control is more important than ever. It is everything. It is what I need. It is all I need.
Or maybe I just need…her.

New York City


ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE NO CONTROL.
- Mark Compton

 


Mark just got back to New York.
He wants/needs to be there for his mom, who's going through chemo/radiation.
And he has to take care of the family business.

And I also have to take the helm of my life, and everything around me. I have to be the Master that I lost somewhere along the line - the one who would never allow someone close to him be hurt, as I did Rebecca.

Then there's Crystal, of course.
He just can't get her out of his head.
They think they're so wrong for each other, but they are totally drawn to each other.
To make it easier for both of them, Mark tries to scare her away from him by offering her a Dominant-Submissive contract.



But Crystal won't be scared away so easily.
She's not going to sign the contract either. She's not a submissive, she could never be submissiv to a man.
And since Crystal loves his mother and wants to be by her side too, they just have to live with being around each other - a lot. Especially since Mark wants to stay in NYC indefinitely.

He's still everything I don't want,
and somehow everything I crave.


But of course they can't stay away from each other for long.
Especially with the danger of Ava still lurking out there somewhere, just waiting for the right time to strike.
Mark has to keep everybody he cares about safe - and that includes Crystal.
He wouldn't survive another person getting hurt or worse because of him.


What will happen to Mark & Crystal?
Will there be a HEA?
What about the whole Ava/Rebecca mess?
Will everybody die at the end?
o.O
Or will there be a horrible Cliffhanger?


I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT OF COURSE...

AMAZING BOOK!!!
 



What?!?!?!?!?! That was it???? NooooooOooOooOoooooo!!!!
No more Mark???? o.O



I BELONG TO YOU was sooo amazing!
I loved every second of it!
The way they both don't really want each other - or at least how they pretend to not want the other ☺
They're so adorable trying to ignore their feelings.....

"You truly excel at being an asshole, Mark Compton. But you're the asshole your mother needs. You give her strength. You make her fight. And if that means you have to revel in your assholeness, so be it. I'll tolerate you for her sake."

This was such a sexy book - so full of emotions ... you just want to crawl into it and hug the hell out of them all....

"... You don't have the power over me."
"No. You have the power. That's what you don't understand. You have the power - or I wouldn't be lying in bed at night remembering how you taste. And I do remember how you taste. All of you. Every last inch. Your mouth. Your neck. Your nipples. Your-"


It was so wonderful to see how those two damaged souls fight their way through all the problems of the past and present to get to their HEA.

She is freedom. She is passion. She is the safe place where I can be the man I've tried to deny beneath the Master persona, and failed.

 If you loved the other books in the #InsideOut series, you will definitely love Mark's book too!!!

The big bad Master from IF I WERE YOU etc. has finally found his perfect match.

I have been lost, and in some way, this woman has found me.

Now, there's only one tiny little Novella left - Chris & Sara's wedding...I guess/hope that we'll see Mark & Crystal as wedding-guests ☺
ALL OF ME - coming in February!



#GetTheBookNow



I mentioned it before - but can I please have the Inside Out TV Show on my TV tomorrow??? And can it please be a daily thing? Because I want/need to stare at (naked) Chris & Mark all day long!







Advanced copy received from publisher via Netgalley for an honest review.



What a wonderful conclusion to Mark and Crystal' s story.

I have always been intrigued by Mark Compton, need to know more about him, even when he was a huge a-hole.

And I was definitely not disappointed in I Belong To You. I loved that we got to see both sides of the man, the mystery. I always knew there was more to the man than the Master we have seen in previous books on the series. I loved that we got to see the softer side of him.

My heart broke for him and with him as we get to see more of his relationship with Rebecca.

Crystal is amazing. Strong, feisty. Love how she stood up to Mark as much as it pained her.  

This was a sad story, a happy story, a sexy, sexy story.  Tick in every box (as we always get with a Lisa Renee Jones book).



I loved the imagery of New York City - as I have just been there I could picture the sights and smells of it.

  Please Ms Jones - I want some more!!
