Power #4

Uncontrolled

Rate this book
Uncontrolled is the fourth of four books in the Power Series based in the world of the sexy and powerful Sethi Brothers. It is the second part of a duet centered around Jai that concludes his story. Control (Book 3) should be read first.

Secrets and lies will only ruin you.
This is the only truth I know.

For years, I kept to myself, erecting walls to keep others out until a chance meeting with a stranger.

A powerful man succumbing to pleasure.
He noticed me lusting after him—vying to be the one who could bring him to his knees.

How could I have known that one night would morph into a ride so wild and fervent?

He had walls of his own, but neither of us were willing to destroy them and replace them with trust.

Instead, our secrets and lies ruined us.

Lovers became enemies.
Family turned to foes.
Unlikely alliances formed, shifting the balance of power and control.

Only two things could bring us together again: our mutual disdain for the enemy and our undeniable passion for each other.

And both would prove too uncontrolled for either of us to handle.

The final book with the Sethi brothers is intense, full of twists, suspense and of course some insanely hot scenes.

This picks up where the first book, controlled left off and you're thrown straight into the action and drama. Clare and Jai's relationship has so many ups and downs but when those two get together, damn 🔥.
I don't want to give too much away as I just feel like so much happens in this book and you have to read it to really experience how insane this book is!

As always, this is another amazing book from Victoria, and I can't wait to read what else she has in store for us! (Even though I'm still not wanting to say goodbye to the Sethis!)

Uncontrolled is book #2 in Jai and Claire's duet and it also concludes The Power series. I was really excited to read this book, but at the same time, I wasn't ready to say goodbye to one of my favorite series! I just love the characters so much. Boy, oh boy!! I have no words for Victoria Woods! You started this a book with a big bang!! I mean, the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat!  And it continued on throughout the book! Secrets and lies that were hidden are now revealed. Jai and Claire's relationship took a sharp turn, hence the last book "Control" ended on a cliffhanger. The Power series is certainly a phenomenal series! Victoria Woods executes multicultural romances amazingly! I have to say, I was p*ssed off with Jai behavior at the beginning of the book. Yes, I get where he was coming from, but that doesn't excuse his behavior towards Claire.

Claire and Jai love each other so fiercely, and the revelations made a huge impact on their relationship; they lashed out on each other (or more like Jai lashed out on Claire). He was so stubborn to see Claire's perspective, to listen and understand her. And I was so happy that Ameila finally talked some sense into him!  Ameila can surely handle two Sethi brothers so well! And Zayn! I felt bad for him, he was caught in the crossfire between Claire and Jai. Victoria I'm hoping that we will see Zayn getting his own book? I knew the plot twists were coming! From the first couple of chapters, I started to connect the dots (Victoria left a few easter eggs and I just knew that something interesting was going to happen). Victoria Woods did it again! She managed to surprised me as the plot unfolded in front of my eyes. Jai and Claire went through hell and back, but they came back stronger than ever. Claire's character really developed in this book. She was finally able to make peace with her past, to move on and focus on the next chapter of her life. Overall, I highly recommend this series! I'm looking forward to see what Victoria has in store for us!

This is the final book in the series. Like all of them it's full of steam, twists, turns and all the intrigue you like to keep you entertained. This book continues where Controlled left, with Clare and Jai's story they are duets. All the secrets finally come out to play, and some things might want to tear apart the family. I really liked the storyline for all of them and I can't wait to see what Victoria Wood writes next. Sad to say goodbye to these characters.

Holy crap what a book! It’s safe to say I’m no where near ready to say goodbye to the Sethi brothers, but what a ride it’s been. This book had everything in from the thrilling plot line, to the banter between characters, to the steam🔥. I loved how we got to see Amelia being her badass self again, and how we got to see some more of Zayn👀 (I’ve claimed him and I don’t share😂). I can’t not wait to see where Victoria goes from here as I sure as hell will be reading every book she writes! 🖤

This is book four in The Power Series and completes Jai and Claire's story and omg it is a must read as it is such a powerful story. Claire's brother Leonid has found her but the biggest shock is when Jai turns up at the restaurant where they are and she is afraid for Jai's life as her brother is evil and takes no prisoners as he loves to make people suffer before he kills them. To say that Jai is shocked when he is introduced to Leonid's sister who turns out to be Claire is an understatement as she is the only woman that he has ever loved and he can see the fear in her eyes but will be be able to protect her and get her out before they are all killed only time will tell. There are many twists and turns along the way that you definitely didn't see coming and trust issues that made things very difficult but will there love for each other get them through all the uncertainty surrounding them. I couldn't put this book down and there were times where my heart was beating so fast and the situations were so tense that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what else would happen. I would love to see Zayn have his own story as he is such a lovable character and so loyal. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the first page and kept you reading until the last one and that is what makes this book a real page turner that you can't put down. Victoria Woods is fast becoming one of my favourite authors as her books have so much depth to them and they are so well written and I can't wait to read more of her books in the future. I definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will definitely not be disappointed.

Uncontrolled is the final book in the Power series and the conclusion to Jai & Claire's duet, and let me tell you that in my opinion, Victoria Woods gave us the perfect conclusion.

Uncontrolled starts just where the last book Control ended; this was a read full of steam, intrigue, and twist and turns that, trust me, you would not see coming at all, and they will keep you wanting to read more and figure out what will happen next.

Claire has been through a lot in her life; her deepest and darkest secret is finally out, and things will definitely take a sharp turn and impact her relationship with Jai. Will Claire ever be able to make peace with her past?

Jai finding out about Claire's secret definitely angered him and made him lash out; it was the last thing he would of expect, even more, because it is Claire we are talking about, the only woman he has ever giving his heart to.

Claire & Jai's relationship goes through many things in this book; they have a fierce way of loving each other, and all those fierce feelings skyrocketed in the wrong direction after the revelation. These two put me through many emotions in this book. I think I wanted to smack Jai on multiple occasions; he was hell-bent on not listening to claire or giving Claire a chance to hear her side of the story. Despite all of the ups and downs, there was so much growth in the characters; it will not be easy, but in the end, Claire & Jai's love for each other was bigger than the issues they had to face, and they will be able to begin their new chapter in life, together.

I highly recommend this series, and even more, if you are a lover of mafia books. I can't wait to see what Victoria Woods will bring next!

Holy crap!! What a book!!! This book takes off at warp speed.

As Jai has now learned Clair’s deep and dark secret, hi anger explodes! How is it that she is now the enemy. He has given his heart to her and now they are never to be. To top it all off a huge rift begins to divide the brothers.

Will Jai learn to tame the anger, known as his beast? Or will everything be torn apart?

Like I said this book not only picked up exactly where the last one left off, it took off! It was action packed from the very beginning. I was on the edge of my seat, biting nails, as I dived into a pool so deep you might just drown.

The danger levels of this book sky rocket to unprecedented heights. Not to mention the dirty and angry scenes between our main characters. Wow! So much raw emotion is written in this heart stopping read. I must warn you though, there are many hard triggers throughout the book. So if you are of weak mind then you may want to find another read.

Overall this book was spot on! I don’t think Victoria Woods could have written it any better. Hell, the whole story of Jai and Claire makes Amelia and Shyam’s story look like a cake walk. They’re story was more intense and dangerous. They’re chemistry was off the charts! I fell hard.

I cannot tell you more as I will spoil all the fun! Just know this book was perfect in every way.

Though I am sad it has come to and end, I am a total fan for life of Ms. Woods!!

Book 4 in the power series
The second book in Jai’s duet.
🔫sexy Indian mafia guy
🩰ballet teacher (or is she more than that

When we finish a good book fest we tend to say we finished it in less than 24 hours, I finished this book in less than 12 hours 🙈

Well after the end of the previous book I knew that in this one a hell will break lose, did it stop me from crying? No it didn’t (and I’m not one for crying in books, so thanks Victoria)

Victoria Woods doesn’t know how to enjoy a good moment though, 5 minutes after we all happy she gives us a new problem.
I hate you but I love you.

Now about our first Sethi couple

I loved Amelia in her own duet, but in here she was a Queen, couldn’t love her more .
Not Shayam though , I wanted to get into the book and rip him a new
a$$hole.

I was happy to go back to Jai and Claire’s love story and to all the Sethi family, but I sad it’s over 😔
——————————————————
If you love a good mafia book try this series, I promise you will love this Indian guys.

Uncontrolled by Victoria Wood is the second book in Jai and Claire’s duet and the final book in the Power series. I was highly anticipating this book and Woods did not disappoint! I was so not ready for this series to end!

Uncontrolled starts where Control left off and immediately we're through into Jai and Claire’s story. The suspense hooked me from the beginning of this book and as the story continues, secrets and lies are revealed. These characters have been through so much and I loved that they worked through the mess and came back stronger together.

There were so many twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the growth of these characters and their relationship. Victoria Woods has done a fabulous job with this book. She has a way with words and I can’t wait to see what writes next. (I’m hoping it’s Zayn’s book because I’m so ready for it!) I absolutely loved the Sethi brothers and I highly recommend this multicultural romance series!

Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely love the Power series. It’s basically a cross between a suspense filled with drug lords and mafia guys and a steamy, power filled love story. I particularly liked the ending 🥰. Uncontrolled picks up right where the last book ended and I am glad about that. We finally figure out what Claire is hiding and how she and Jai are connected even more than romantically. This book was not as steamy as Control was but it was definitely more plot driven and I could not put it down! Claire and Jai’s relationship is tested because of her connection with the Bratva. Leonid is such a jerk! I don’t want to give away too much but if you want a high action suspense thriller with romance that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this is it!

Uncontrolled by @victoriawoods

ARC review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5


After we were left with a cliffhanger I couldn’t wait to find out the fate of Jai and Claire. The story picked up exactly where it ended and the anticipation was even stronger than before. I absolutely loved these two and the chemistry between them was beyond beautiful.

The secrets are exposed and with that comes a roller coaster of emotions and events that will make you gasp at times.

If you haven’t read the series I would strongly recommend that you do. Each page you turn you will crave for more till the end. I can’t wait what’s next, who’s story we will get because I will be patiently waiting and ready for the next book by this amazing talented author ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sending this book it is very much appreciated.

Woowwww!!! What a read this has been, taking off from where Controlled finishes this book had me hooked from the turn of the first page. It’s full of grit and steam throughout.

In this book, we see Jai has now found out Clairs darkest secret. Clair and Jai's relationship takes on so many twists and turns that when they do get together it’s actual fireworks. You can feel the emotions throughout this book between the characters it’s off the charts.

I can’t believe this is the end of this series, I really enjoyed reading this and can’t wait to read more of victorias Work.

I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters/series. That being said though, this book was a perfect conclusion to this series.

Everything about this book was great that I could go on all day about it. I loved seeing the banter between all of the characters. Seeing the growth not just between Jai and Claire but all of the characters was needed and it really shows how everyone changed from the first book. I loved learning more about Claire’s background and where she came from and seeing how this caused some issues with her relationship in Jai but they were able to work through it.

After reaching the end of Control I couldn't wait to get into this installment! I picked it up as soon as I could and got right back into this story! I enjoyed this fourth installment!

Jai and Claire's journey continues! I wasn't sure which direction their story was going to go next and I couldn't wait to find out! I felt so many things with these two!

With Uncontrolled, Ms.Woods has created such a good read! If you haven't checked this series out you need to do that this year!

Uncontrolled is the conclusion to Jai and Claire's duet and the final book in the Power series. If you haven't read bok three then you must before reading this one. This book picks up where Control left off and I was on heck of a read. Jai and Claire's story is my favorite of this series. So many dots are connected in this book and you will not be disappointed. If you want the full effect, then I highly suggest reading this series from the beginning.

This was such a great way to wrap up the series! Jai was kind of a jerk at times, but Claire put him in his place like a pro. Honestly, I wish he had groveled a bit more.

Seeing Amelia handle the Sethi brothers was hilarious, especially when she scolded them like kids.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and I'm definitely going to miss these characters!

This was the most long-awaited book I have ever waited for. Jay and Claire's sequel was remarkable. The book started exactly where the first one ended and I will just say that I had a sense of what would happen from the beginning. After the big secret revealed to Claire, things went completely wrong, but most of all I was angry about the way Jay behaved, I totally wanted to throw my phone away in anger while reading.

Claire, however, I love her, and my heart broke for all the horror she had experienced in her life. Let me not forget Zane, this man totally charmed me and he need to have a book, because despite his tough appearance, he is a big teddy bear and I am sure that when he finds his woman , he will be just as caring as he was toward Claire.

Thank you @victoriawoodsauthor and @nishasbooksandcoffeepr for the opportunity to receive this ARC and for the chance to read this incredible book! ❤️❤️

I am so glad that Jai was able to put his ego down for a second and truly do what he needed to do! This whole series was a wild ride and I’m sad to say good bye to the Sethi’s and their wild world! If you love a good mafia story with men who think they will never settle down come meet Shyam and Jai!

The sethi brothers: Jai’s second book.

Betrayal is difficult to handle from anyone. However, when it comes from the hands of the person you love, it is gut wrenching.
