Cat's Review of Control Freak (Foster Bro Code book 3) by DJ Jamison @author_dj_jamison @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @DJ_Jamison_ @TTCBooksandmore

I'm the bossy brother ... 

Controlling the world around me is the only way I feel safe. Childhood abuse has left me scarred inside and out. But control makes me feel strong.

Unfortunately, I can’t control everything I want--including my body's panic response to touch. It’s hard to share affection with my brothers, much less anyone else. I’ve all but given up on a romantic relationship.

My only intimacy is with a camboy who can give me what I need without triggering my trauma. Shiloh is beautiful, warm, and sensitive. We're not just camboy and client; we're friends. It’s not everything I crave, but it’s more than I’ve ever had.

Then I find out he’s in trouble—and I can’t stand by and watch him get hurt. I bring him home, pushing my boundaries to protect him. But once he’s in my safe space, so close and inviting, my temptation wars with preservation.

Can I overcome my touch-aversion for a chance at real love—or will I just hurt us both?

Control Freak is Book 3 of Foster Bro Code, about a group of foster brothers who have made a pact to have each other's backs as they heal and find their way to love. TW for references to childhood abuse, lingering trauma and anxiety, and physical assault/violence on page.

Cat gives this book 50... whoops I mean 5 meows (changes as Tams gives the stink eye) with a 4 purr heat index...

Trigger warnings: talk of past abuse and trauma, touch aversion, 

Read authors note and warnings before starting.

Holy cow! This was so amazing. I've been waiting for Holden's book and wondering how the heck he'd ever get a HEA but should have known DJ Jamison could. And she knocked it out of the ballpark and into the next town.
And Shiloh is amazing in himself... so two men needing love and so different but wow it works. There's also some suspense and lots of heat. This was really amazing. 

If you like foster brothers, Camboy, forced proximity, small town, hurt/comfort, emotional challenges, broken men, found family and a very good but emotional story this is for you.  I can't recommend this book enough.



DJ Jamison writes romances about everyday life and extraordinary love featuring a variety of queer characters, from gay to bisexual to asexual. DJ grew up in the Midwest in a working-class family, and those influences can be found in her writing through characters coping with real-life problems: money troubles, workplace drama, family conflicts and, of course, falling in love. DJ spent more than a decade in the newspaper industry before chasing her first dream to write fiction. She spent a lifetime reading before that and continues to avidly devour her fellow authors’ books each night. She lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, one snake, and a sadistic cat named Birdie.
