Their Controlled Chaos
Jinelle Sutton has known from a young age that she is more than human. Chaos is a big part of her life and she's learned to ball it up and hide it away from the world. Which isn’t too hard because she's always been a bit weird. A high IQ and social awkwardness means she's got very few friends. She longs for the day she doesn’t have to hide who she is. When she hears about a surrogate program with an alien shifter planet she jumps at the chance. After all, who to better understand her than alien shifters?
Daeria is much more than she expects. Her new friends are also surrogates and have special abilities of their own. She feels like she belongs for the first time in her life. Then there are the four wolf shifters who each claim to be her mate.
The war that took so much from the Dearia shifters may have ended, but they're still dealing with the aftermath. The evil that wants complete control over the planet seeks out a powerful relic that gives him anything he desires. It’s up to Jinelle, Harland, Turk, Seff, and Merric to find the relic before Xaxhin does. All the while, Jinelle’s powers grow stronger and more uncontrollable. Then again, when has chaos ever been controlled?

Anyone who has dealt with a toddler on sugar knows that chaos is a powerful force. Jinelle has the gifts of her heritage as the great, great granddaughter of Chaos. Since her arrival on Daeria her powers have grown as has her fear of using them.
This story tells of the power of love and happiness over fear and anger. Jinelle and her wolves are hot, hot, hot! A little crazy is a wonderful thing.

HOLY COW! I loved this book and did not put it down. Dang, I am trying to think of how to write this without spoilers. This book was that good. If you read the others... this one caps them all off. Everything comes to a head and it takes a little chaos in order to win. Jinelle met her mates a while back but has not completed the claiming. Why? Something just hasn't been right. Well that something was 2 missing mates. There is an HEA but it is hard fought for. This book has it all. Steam, danger, fighting, chaos.... I loved it all.

Jinelle decides to travel to another world to find happiness and love
Jinelle grown knowing that she had magical abilities and she has seen with her own eyes what can happen if it is allowed free reign, Chaos is something that she has fought to keep this under control at all times so that her powers are being kept controlled so that no one is inadvertently injured.
When she decides to travel off world to Daeria to find mates that would love her and with whom she would be able to start a life, perhaps have a family. What she had not expected was that she would have to join forces with the other women that were now mated to wolf and dragon shifters as they fight to discover Desires Horn.
Jinelle has had two mates for some time Turk and Harland and now she has had her last two mates Seff and Merric who have finally made the mated group complete and now as they are about to go into the most important battle of their wars so far, they. are a mated group
They are fighting for the very life of the planet and the people that they have come to love and care about, they are a determined group with the ability of magic that they will need to battle this war.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

Their Controlled Chaos is the fourth & final book in the Wintervale Packs series set in the Daeria World. In this book we follow human Jinelle & wolf shifters Turk, Harland, Seff & Merric as they find their happily ever after.
Jinelle has almost always known she's different from everyone else. She keeps to herself in order to hide her secret from the world & to keep control of the Chaos. With nothing left to hold her there after her grandparents deaths, she's more than willing to go to Daeria as a surrogate. A place where she hopes she doesn't have to hide who she really is.
Turk & Harland always hoped they would be Jinelle's only mates, but deep down knew there would be 2 more. Just like the other surrogates that came with her. That doesn't mean they're exactly happy to find out that Merric & Seff are also her mates. Can Jinelle's mates learn to work together to help her win the fight against the evil that threatens all of Daeria?
This was perhaps my favorite of the series. The main characters are somewhat familiar from the previous books but they really came alive for me here. They were all likeable, engaging & down to Earth/Daeria types of people. The plot was a continuation from the previous books & it was neat following them as they found their way together. The plot line was interesting and kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen. The power of Chaos was a new & fascinating aspect for me, too. All in all, this was a real win for me.

Four Heads are Better Than One
Jinelle signed up for a government program to go off planet to be a surrogate for alien shifters on the planet Dearia. She finds out that she's a descendant of, Ehena, the goddess of chaos, and that her powers on Dearia are stronger than they were on Earth. That's not really a good thing since she lost control of them at a young age and caused people to die. So she's holding onto her powers tighter than hand on a ... well, anyway. You get it.
At the start of the book she's got two mates, Harland and Turk, enforcers for the pack. That changes when she meets Merric, who then brings in her last mate, Seff. Who she's met before but was too shy to speak up. Merric has previously been mated and didn't think he'd have another mate in his lifetime. Seff is an IT geek (but still a cutie) and didn't think Jinelle would want him when she had two studly enforcer wolves already.
Jinelle slowly learns to use and control her powers, and how to fight Xaxhin, who's trying to get control over all of Dearia. I feel like she learned to trust herself and her powers as well as her mates. She finally got to live free as herself.
I really liked this book, it was well written and the characters are quirky and fun. The sex scenes were hot and frequent, without being obtrusive to the story. I've read other Dearia stories before and I'll read more of them. (I think I may have missed one!)

Jinelle + four
Great finish!
Jinelle had no one left on earth to keep her there when she had a chance to help repopulate another planet. Maybe she could get some help with the unsettling power she is feeling.
She's right, she has power. Finding it, how to control, along with new friends who also became surrogates and not only two true mates make her lonely life vibrant again.
The war with evil and finding family and peace for herself, her new mates, and her new world are filling her time. Will they live through the battle to find happiness and be family?
A fulfilling end to the series brings all of the characters we've cheered on and loved together to try to finish to plan for all and have a place for children to grow up in peace and happiness.

What a wonderful ending to the series.
Jinelle, from early age, knew that she was more than a human, so when opportunity arose to help with surrogacy on different planet, she is all in.
She is on the planet Daeria, she has two mates and is well aware that she will have more, than two.
She and her other friend have to fight and kill Xaxhin.
Great story, I enjoyed a lot and I loved the epilogue a lot.

Good story. Jinelle has always struggled with her power since she was a child. She is probably the only one who knew she had powers before coming to Dariea.
Final book. They have overcome their enemy. Few new details about their enemy in this book. Jinelle has had her magic since she was a child and has feared it and kept it tightly locked down. This leads to her feeling very out of control and worried about hurting those she loves. It takes her four mates to help her realize that she can control her powers without hurting others.
Jinelle’ s mates are quiet the quartet. They are very supportive of her and help her keep calm. They are a pretty good mix of warriors, Tech geek and a healer. Just what she needs.

This was an awesome series. The action and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. Its important to read all the books to really understand the love and bonding. These women ate Super Bad in a good way. One of my favorite series. I will read this one over and over. The visual descriptions put you in the midfle of the action. Kudos to an amazing author.

Hopefully we will be back to Daeria.
I recommend reading the previous books first to get a good understanding for what is happening.
A good conclusion to this series and I am sad to be leaving Daeria. Hopefully we may visit again.
Lots happening (no spoilers) and we also get Jinelle, the descendant of Chaos, finding her four mates and dealing with the big baddie.
This is my honest review of this book kindly offered to me. I also chose to read this book through KU.

Their Controlled Chaos is the last book in the Wintervale Pack series by author Milly Taiden. I enjoyed this series and all the books, especially this last one. There are plenty of action and sexy times to keep the reader interested. Milly Taiden has a very rich imagination and this translates really well into this series, the world building is full of layers and depth and the characters aren't one dimensional.
Thanks for the copy of the book, the views above are all of my own.

Conclusion of this series
I love this author's books. The only problem is that either I got a bad copy or there really was a lot of typos.
The conclusion of this series is great and I loved the epilogue.
Read this book to find out what happens to Xaxhin.

As always..
Milly Taiden was one of the first authors I fell in love with after yrs of not reading much. Her PDA series captured my mind and heart. This series of Deria is just as captivating. Lose yourself with RH loves

I loved all the Wintervale Stories, this one just pulled me and it was bittersweet to read and finish. I started and just kept turning the pages, it kept me wanting to know the next all up until the end.
Milly did her thing, created characters to love and an amazing world. Each male had their own personality, the sassy strong female, and the danger element.
Each book intriguing in how they all linked together, it so worth reading from the very first book. Fall in love with Daeria its inhabitants, friend, and family.
When Chaos is part of you, you have to learn quickly to control it so it doesn't control you. One of my favorite parts of the story is Seth, Wyn, and their mother. Job well done Ms. Taiden. Enjoy

This is the best author.
I loved this book and all Milly’s books. There is always something that has to be overwhelming like a nasty god or goddess that is what happens in this book. I love seeing how they defeat the nasty and of course there is lots of loving.

Their Controlled Chaos
The final book in the series. Jinelle was the demigod of chaos. Except she didn't know how to control it. Being a surrogate on another planet gave her a new life and meeting her four mates gave her control. She thinks.
Great wrap up to the series.

What an amazing ending to the journey of the Daerian goddesses. Jinelle's whole life has been filled with chaos. Her greatest fear is losing control and hurting those she loves. With the help of her mates and her friends, she works on learning how to control the chaos and use it to their advantage against the madman still on the loose.

The addition of the word "Controlled" to the title is a bit of a misnomer ... LOL ... As if chaos is ever TRULY CONTROLLABLE! Filled with action, intrigue, danger, and some serious plot twists. Wonderful story to end this great series!

Jinelle is a surrogate from earth and also found out she is related to the goddess of chaos. She has 2 mates but knows there should be 4 she knows who the 3rd is but the 4th is a surprise.
Harland & Turk are going to have to learn to share they knew she had other mates and had her for some time by themselves. Along came Merric the surprise and Seff the shy geek.
I hated for this book to end. Loved the characters and story. We have action, adventure and of course steam.

Book 4 final in Wintervale Pack by Milly Taiden
Jinelle is all alone after her grandparents death so when she finds out about the surrogate program she signs up.
Jinelle has a big secret but has been hiding a long time but when she goes to Daeria and meets not 2 but 4 mates.
I really enjoyed the chaos element of the story and how that plays into Jinelle and her mates life’s.
I’m a bit sad it’s finished but I trust MT to come through with a PDA or new series.

This book was exciting, emotional, action packed and of course steamy.. I really enjoyed this series and will miss the goddesses and their mates...
August 3, 2020
Loved this book! A great addition to the series! Enjoyed watching the guys trying to learn to share especially Turk and Harland after they’d had Jinelle by themselves for awhile. It was good seeing all the characters come together! Love all Milly’s books and highly recommend!
