CONTROL is the next standalone romantic suspense in USA Today bestselling author Kathy Coopmans’ The Diamond Empire series.
My mother warned me Jolie West was forbidden. Of course, I didn’t listen. Because all it took was one look at the girl with flaming, fiery hair, and I was captivated.
Enthralled by her beauty and the blaze I saw burning behind her blue eyes.
From the first touch of her warm skin, I was burned.
Singed.
That is until one conversation with my father turned my world upside down. He let me know I had family duties that I couldn’t walk away from.
I went from fire to ice and broke mine and Jolie’s hearts.
It’s what was best for her.
Me? Not so much.
My soul was lost the day I sent her away.
Vowed right there she would forever own it. Even if, she’d never know.
That was years ago when we were just teenagers. Not a day has gone by that I don’t crave her. Miss that spark that made a man like me come alive.
I thought I was protecting her until I wasn’t. Someone hurt Jolie, and I won’t rest until I find out who.
Now that she’s back in my life, I won’t let her go.
Consequences be damned, I’m finally going to claim what’s mine.
GET. IT. TODAY.
“I agree it’s my fault. I disagree that I’m like them, and you damn well know I’m not, Jolie West.” He bites back with an arrogant grin that reaches his smoldering eyes, and the way my name rolls off his tongue throws a lit match on my already simmering fire. “I’ve had protection on you for reasons we’ll get into another time, but you?” He leans in, his hot breath at my ear, “Were and still are a terrible liar. I let you go years ago, and it was the dumbest thing I’ve done. I won’t do it again. I want you in my house, my bed and I’m going to have you. That’s not a threat. It’s a guarantee.”
Slowly, he edges a finger down my neck, pressing against my pulse. It jumps wildly, close to bursting right out of me, and warmth floods between my thighs.
My mouth waters.
Heart battering hard.
This man always had this effect on me. Touching me and making me lose my mind. Rational thoughts always disappearing.
Vanishing into thin air like they’re trying to do now.
I shiver, goosebumps breaking out on my skin as recollections slam into me. The first thing Aaron would do after being away from one another for hours is take in the entirety of my face and then press his finger right where it is now before capturing and prisoning my eyes.
Telling me he liked to feel my heart flutter rapidly just from me seeing him.
From his touching me.
I think now, as his gaze lifts and dips to that spot, it was nothing more than a lie. One to conceal something from me or something else altogether, I’ve no clue.
4 Stars from Renee!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The story has secrets, pain, and heartbreak.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first:
Concede (The Diamond Empire, #1)
Callous (The Diamond Empire Book 2)
This is Jolie and Aaron’s story. They were in love but he broke both there hearts when he sent her away. Sending her away was supposed to protect her. Years later he still wants her deep in his soul. When he finds out she is hurt he is determined to figure out who hurt her and why. Then he is going to have to figure out how to get rid of the danger and keep her as his own.
I recommend this book.

Kathy Coopmans is back with the third book in her addicting Diamond Empire series and y'all, I have to say.. I'm really loving this spin off series. I adooooored the originals (some of my fave re-reads!) and now.. the second generation is capturing our hearts all over again in the best ways and moments.
Control gives us Jolie and Aaron’s book and I promise, you're heart sure ain't ready for these two or their story. Packed to the brims with heart, heat, suspense, danger, angst and all those pesky af feels y'all.. Control will hook you from the very start and keep you going until the very last word.. it sure did me.
I absolutely love Kathy and she is a frequent must read author for me. She writes romantic suspense with the best of them and I can't help but fall for her swoony heroes every single time I meet a new one.
