Pride Reads 2026, Day 4: Control Freak by DJ Jamison
I just finished listening to the audiobook and loved it! The Foster Bro Code series is about a group of men who grew up in the same foster home and form a found family. Each book follows a different brother and their struggles, as well as their romantic journey to a HEA. Book 3 is about Holden, the oldest brother and the leader of the family. He keeps the family business (auto shop/scrap yard) running and looks after his brothers. He's labeled a control freak, but this is part of his way of coping with childhood abuse and the scars left on his body and mind. Holden also has extreme touch aversion, which has kept him from pursuing sex or romance, until he finds an outlet watching Shiloh, a camboy. When circumstances in Shiloh's life put him in danger, he confides in Holden, who immediately comes to his rescue. Now they're sharing close proximity and mutual attraction, but that's not a magic solution to either of their problems.
