I've been taking care of myself for as long as I can remember. Kicked out as a teen, I’ve gone from living on the streets to earning money in any way possible. My life has never been easy, but it’s still mine.

Now Evan, a mafia enforcer, has taken a liking to me. He thinks he can “save” me. Well, he can fuck right off. I'm never going to be dependent on anyone else ever again.

Because if I start to fall for him, if I start to rely on him, it'll hurt even worse when he inevitably decides to dump me just like everybody else does.

This is the second book of the Mafia Doms series. It can be read as a standalone, but it is best enjoyed after reading Submit. Content warnings include stalking, sex work, and violence. Control is an 83k word “mid-gray-to-dark” hurt/comfort novel from Adara Wolf & R. Phoenix. Please look inside for more detailed notes.

R. Phoenix

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
R. Phoenix (code name: Raissa) has an unhealthy fascination with contrasts: light and dark, humor and pain, heroes and villains, order and chaos. She believes love can corrupt, power can redeem and that the best of intentions can cast shadows while the worst can create light. She agrees with those who say that the truth is best told through fiction — even though fiction has to make sense while reality can be utterly baffling.
Her dark paranormal books explore a world where humanity has become prey, subjugated by “supes” — vampires, werewolves, and witches — who have seized control. They range from romance to dark erotica to horror and everything in between, exploring different aspects of the Fate of the Fallen universe. She’s even published something she calls “playful dark erotica.”
Her tendency to explore dark topics isn’t limited to a supernatural world. Her contemporary romance, Too Close, deals with the difficult topic of domestic violence. She is passionate about the need for greater awareness and understanding of an issue that’s often misunderstood.
She loves chatting with readers, though she often awkwardly rambles. No matter how much she tries to keep her bad and often perverted sense of humor in check, it seems to escape at the most inconvenient moments. (Thanks, universe.) Feel free to friend Raissa on Facebook and chat or send her an email!

Love Phoenix and Wolf's world building 😍

Helios has a rough life and Evan's life is lonely. It doesn't help Evan that his boss is flaunting his love life in Evan's face 🥲 Evan just want someone to take care of and come home to. Helios just want to survive the hand he's been dealt.

I find their story to be a sweet love story set in a Mafia world.
The quote: “You’re like a genie, you know that? Has anyone wished for your freedom before?” absolutely broke me 💔

Control is the second book in the Mafia Doms series, which follows Submit. It is on the lighter side compared to previous books like Surrender and Submit however, it is still dark and TWs are provided by the authors.
Evan Griffin, who is the head of security for Silvano Cresci, becomes obsessed with Helious. It's lust at first sight. He becomes so infatuated he stalks Helious and wants anyone who harms Helious to pay for the pain they have caused.
Helios has had a very difficult life after being kicked out from home by his parents. He doesn't trust anyone for good reason. Life-changing events one after another have made him lose any hope of ever getting out and having a normal life.
Evan will do anything to provide stability and protection for Helios. He crosses many boundaries, Evan is not a nice guy but when it comes to Helios he melts and becomes this golden retriever who will do no harm.
Evan doesn't relent on Helios. He needs him to survive. Helios will not only know and feel loved by Evan and Chorizo, he will also feel safe like he never has ever before.
Once again another book I enjoyed from these two authors. The continuation of this series keeps getting better and better. Seeing previous characters make an appearance is great Silvano, Kyran, Cristiano, and Fox. So now I'm curious to see who's book is next...👀

Deliciously dark mafia romance

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024

Deliciously stalkery. I’m a huge fan of how entranced Evan is from the moment he first lays eyes on Helios. I’ve had fun watching Adara Wolf and R. Phoenix explore the mafia world and this book definitely satisfies those dark mafia romance appetites.

Dark, gritty Mafia MM romance

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024

Another fabulous mafia doms book. I have enjoyed this series so much (starting with Cristiano and Fox in the ruthless daddies series). In this book we get to know Evan better, we met him previously when he took over as head of security for Silvano. Cristiano is the one that brought him into our lives! So thanks Cristiano cause woo, Evan is hot and just so dang sweet (well to Helios). Evan is mysterious, dangerous, and so sexy. He is just minding his own business, doing his job when Helios saunters into his life and completely turns his world upside down. Evan is hooked, he can’t focus except on Helios. Helios is a stripper at the club Silvano’s meeting is taking place at. Helios is flirty and sensual, but we learn it’s an act. The poor guy has a manager/pimp who makes sure Helios does his job. Evan tries to break down Helios walls but it’s slow going. Helios doesn’t trust easily…or at all…especially men as dangerous as Evan. He’s terrified but he knows how to play the game and survive. It’s such an intriguing and interesting plot, with lots of steamy times, blood and gore, a protective, possessive man, and a stripper that just needs a helping hand and to let those walls down. As always the writing is fantastic. This book was smoking hot, funny, sweet and twisted and dark for those of us that just have black hearts. This is a great dark mafia romance between the muscle and the stripper. And if you haven’t read Cristian and Fox’s story or Kyran and Silvano’s, I highly recommend all three books. This duo of authors always bring a great plot, endearing characters and all the feels.

Loved the story! 🖤

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

Helios, a captivating dancer at a strip club, finds himself drawn to Evan, a man who becomes infatuated with him at first sight. Evan is willing to do whatever it takes to protect and care for Helios, despite the fact that they met while Evan was working. Their story delves into the serious issues of familial rejection due to their sexualities and the ways in which they have both experienced abandonment. However, they manage to overcome these hardships and find solace in each other's arms. Their bond is further strengthened by the presence of their adorable little dog, which adds a touch of sweetness to their lives. Together, they create their own family, a beautiful testament to their resilience. In addition to their personal struggles, Evan also discovers that Helios is being taken advantage of by his boss at the club. This revelation leads to a series of action-packed events, as Helios longs for a fresh start and a life free from fear. Evan becomes his unwavering protector, always by his side no matter what challenges they face. As their relationship deepens, they share their true names and officially become boyfriends, a moment of great joy for both of them. Their journey towards finding love and peace amidst the chaos is truly captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, which introduced me to the talented duo of authors. It has sparked my interest in mafia-themed stories, and I look forward to exploring more of their works in the future.

Only Slightly Stalkery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2024

We've had Silvano and Kyran, plus Christiano and his Murder Twink Fox, now we have Silvano's bodyguard Evan and his own twink Helios.
The bosses are having a meeting at a gay strip club, and Silvano is annoying Kyran by teasing Evan with the twink and giving him a dank from the lithe Latino dancer, Helios.
Thing is, after the private dance, and a bit more, Evan is obsessed.
He's sending gifts, turning up at his work and outside his home, and though Helios sees it as stalking, Evan just wants to take care of him and date him.
And his dog - though it's only a street dog, the animal has imprinted on Helios.
Helios isn't used to being treated kindly and he's stuck in the job with pimp Steve because of a debt he owes.
Evan might be big and scary but he's also sweet and sort of adorable, with Helios calling him Papi.
The washing of the dog scene is hilarious, the scenes with Fox being Fox are great too.
I look forward to seeing what Knives is about in the next book and we get a HEA - after a lot of vengeance that is.

First time reading this combination of authors and I enjoyed it. The book had been recommended to me and I glad I took a chance on it.
Evan is just the right balance of good and bad to be the papi that Helios needs. It takes a while to get through the walls Helios has built but it’s worth it in the end.

Evan is captivated by H from the moment he sees him. H is forced to be a sex worker after being kicked out of home for being gay. H hates what he does but is petrified of the life changing feelings Evan shows him & the fact his pimp won’t let him leave.
