Kind hearted and naive, Paige Jacobs wants what every girl craves…to be loved. She uses this need to make excuses when her current boyfriend goes from being a tad jealous and slightly overprotective to stalker-ish. She isn’t that girl and Craig isn’t one of those guys. Things are fine. Perfectly fine. Until the moment a dark-haired, tattooed hottie with a snarky mouth walks into her life and tells her she deserves better.
Confident and boldly spoken, Cameron Green has always been the guy bad girls can’t get enough of and all the good girls want to tame. He’s lived a lavish lifestyle filled with drugs, women, and alcohol up until his destructive path finally caught up with him. Now Cameron isn’t sure what to do with himself or how to dampen the longing for something more festering inside of him since coming out of his drug-induced haze. But when he meets a doe-eyed girl who gets past his walls like no other, everything about him clicks into place.
Together the two learn there are emotions that hold within them all the power to control you…
Control You
by Jennifer Snyder
Once outside, I pulled a cigarette from my
pack and lit it. Inhaling the rich taste of nicotine and menthol into my lungs,
I felt myself calm. Closing my eyes, I thought of the night I gained the scar
on my right wrist. It had been a year ago.
“I’m
such a fuck up.” My voice had cracked when the words came out.
“So
change…”
Eva’s words echoed through my mind. I had
changed. I’d taken her advice and checked into rehab. No one knew besides her
and Scott; I’d kept it a secret. I’d even kept my failed attempt at suicide a
secret. I’d been sober now for a year, and had been slowly working my way back
to becoming someone my parents would have been proud of. Hearing Scott say
those words to me today had meant more than he would ever know.
Taking a drag off my cigarette, I smiled.
After pulling out my cell, I dialed the one
person I needed to be with tonight. She answered on the third ring.
“You know you shouldn’t call me at five
o’clock unless you’re going to take me out to eat,” Eva muttered as a greeting
when she answered.
I chuckled. “That’s exactly why I was
calling. So, what’s your answer?”
“I get to pick the place and you can pay
the bill.” I could hear the playful smirk in her voice as she spoke. We both
knew she’d be paying for her portion of the meal. Eva never let me buy her
anything, but it was fun to joke about it anyway. When I’d paid her rent for
the year, she hadn’t even known until she attempted to make a payment a little
late one month.
“Sounds fine by me.” I put my cigarette out
and dug in my pocket for my keys. “I’ll be there in fifteen.”
“I’ll be waiting,” Eva said in a singsong
voice before she hung up.
I grinned like a fool as I slid into my
car. She was going to be so fucking surprised at dinner tonight when I pulled
out the bracelet I’d bought her. Hell, I might walk away from dinner with a
black eye after she beat the shit out of me for buying her something. Tonight
was a celebration of when she’d saved my life though. Eva didn’t know it, but I
was about to pamper her ass for the night whether she wanted it or not. She
deserved it.

You can interlace all the characters throughout the novels along the way, so essentially you never really have to let them go. Their personality still builds with the others and you can keep improving on their H.E.A. you left them with.
This is what I truly meant with my first answer…once you meet Cameron Green in Control You you’ll understand.
Maybe I should reword this one and say that it makes you wish the places were real. I would love to visit Shooters, the main bar in Norhurst, just because so many things have happened between those walls. Paige’s Closet in Control You would be the best place to shop for clothes too!
This is true. You get used to them being in your head and they feel like friends. By the way, I’m not as insane as that comment just made me sound…this is what we call “writer problems”.
The Coldcreek Series is actually my first attempt at a companion series. The majority of my novels are either continuation series’ or standalones. I’ve had a blast trying this out, though. While I won’t state whether I’ll be writing any more companion series in the future, I can tell you that there will be a total of FOUR novels in this particular companion series—Break You, Control You, and then two others that will release later this year.
