Great addition to the series
Control Games was a well-paced book and a great addition to this series. Julie, Dante, and Christopher were all great characters with their own wonderful quirks. The three didn't always get along, mostly Julie and Dante, but the three somehow meshed really well. I don't know how, because if I were in Julie's shoes, I'd have knocked Dante's teeth out a few times, but that's why she's with him and not me.Unlike with Andi's book, this one isn't a friends to lovers story and is much longer. It dives in more with each character's personal issues and how they overcome them with the help of the other two. It actually made me disappointed for Andi's book because the depth in this, is what I had been looking for in Andi's. I feel a bit cheated because, while I love Julie and her guys, I like Andi and her's more. Which, for those who loved Andi, Isaiah, and Kane, they do make a few appearances in this book and you can tell their relationship has deepened in their "off screen" time. I did love that about this book. It shows the character development continued when we couldn't continue to follow.What I loved about this book though, was how Julie allowed herself to give up control in many areas but was strong enough to not let it all go. And what she did let go, she used to strengthen herself, just like it was supposed to. What I really didn't like, was that no one figured out who was causing them so many issues through the book until last minute when he reveals himself. It was so obvious that I wanted to shake them senseless.Overall, I loved this book, and really hope there's at least one more in the series. I don't know who it'd be about, but I'm hungry for more.I received this book as an ARC and have given my honest opinion on it (I have purchased because I loved it so much).

Awesome read
I was given this story for an honest review. OMG! Where to start....well we have Andi and her boys from the 1st book in this story which is awesome. Her business partner Julie and she get an investor in their cookie business in the form of Dante, a famous chef. His IT guy ,Christopher, is also his boyfriend. Some of the arguments in the beginning of the story between Dante and Julie are epic. They really know how to push each other's buttons! When Christopher and Dante decide to help Julie lose some of her controlling ways, the fun begins. Julie, Dante, and Christopher are on fire as a threesome!!!! Throw in a psycho from Julie's past and you've got more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Great story!!!! Couldn't put it down! Worth way more than 5 stars!! I highly recommend this book!

Pretty decent short story
First off, this is a short story and a super easy read. This is the 2nd book in the series but it doesn't have to be read in order. There is some minimal character overlap where I would recommend reading them in order. It would ruin the outcome of the first book if you don't.This is a story about a long-term couple that has interest in bringing in a third person to their relationship. It's intriguing and the relationships between the characters has you invested early on. What I find most interesting about this book is the alpha-male and the more submissive relationship in the couple. It created an interesting dynamic when the interest in the additional person comes up. There is also a story overlay as their professional lives overlap.This is definitely worth the time to read. It's super sexy and you'll love the HEA.

Disappointing...
This book was a huge disappointment for me. Julie the main character spent the whole book arguing and trying to control everything! It was so frustrating and annoying, she was a very unlikable character. There was no chemistry between the three main characters except perhaps between Christopher and Julie but even then she spent most of the time pushing him away. The other thing I didnt like is the sex all revolved around the woman, there was no real MM scenes or interaction. It was only hinted at, not cool.

TO MUCH CONTROL
I was hoping this instalment would be as Good add the first but alas to my bitter disappointment, it was not. The main reason: the heroine Julie. It was like she completely changed from book one where we met a snarky, funny best friend. Cut to book two and i couldn't stand her. What a GINORMOUS bitch. She was nasty to everyone, at all times and by the end when she mellows out is too late. My dislike and distaste were solidified. After this fiasco, i need a break from this author.

It is okay
I am always honest, and My rating requirements , of course, differ. I have read a few books from this author. Hashtag series was cute. Book 1 of "Cookies" was cute. This one lacked the details that create empathy, sympathy, or any other emotion. I finished it a few months after starting this read, and it has few errors which gave it my 3 star rating. Unless you are easy to please, it isn't worth the money.

Get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat
A well written "menage" romance driven storyline. Both Dante and Christopher were hot and appealing for very 7 thought provoking and insightful. The heroine was well cast and was real.All in all, although menage love interest is present, they are hot but the whole book isn' t just for sex scenes - good story too!!Great book, great ride.

My favourite Allyson Lindt yet!
This was truly Allyson’s best work that I’ve read so far. The characters all had depth, baggage, and complexity and the sex was naughty and kinky at times. This ménage has to be my favourite three person relationship that I’ve read and it really demonstrated Allyson’s skill as a writer and her grasp of the complexity that relationships, especially poly ones, can bring. Loved it.

Hot hot hot
Totally tantalizing book, kept me on the edge of my seat with all the weird accidents. Also love the guys definitely my type. Just sad that I don't see a 3rd book . I'm already looking to see what other books this author has. Being a baker myself it was an interesting take. I I'LL also be sure to recommend this book to the ladies in my reading group , with the disclaimer to have some ice on hand .he'
