Commanding Her Trust

5++ STARS!! Commanding Her Trust is book 2 in Lili Valente’s Under His Command series, the continuation of her amazing telling of the love story between Blake and Erin. Book 2 picks up right where we left off with Erin trying to make her escape from Blake which left us wondering whether or not he would be able to stop her. Well, indeed Erin’s efforts are thwarted and as they both begin to communicate with one another, it becomes apparent that the connection between them remains despite the passage of time as well as their inner attempts to hide how they truly feel. As Blake’s love for Erin floods back to the surface, he begins to imagine a possibility of reclaiming “his woman” and beginning a new life together. The compatibility that they share, both inside of the bedroom, as well as out, continues to escalate. As Erin senses Blake’s feelings, her initial thought is to play along with him only long enough to make her escape. But as the hours pass and the strength of their new bond to one another intensifies, Erin begins to hope for more between them as well. Although she continues with her inner struggle of whether she can take the chance of placing her trust in another man, Erin starts to believe that Blake is different. But when the faith she has begun to entrust to Blake is shaken, will Erin choose to stay or will she run from the only man who has ever truly made her feel safe? OMG! Lili Valente’s has done it to me again, completely captivating me and capturing my undivided attention page after page. Lili has guided me into Blake and Erin’s world keeping me completely riveted and immersed. The hot, steamy and electrifying connection between this dominating alpha male and his submissive is imbedded with amazing passion. The rekindling of the deep emotion shared between these two characters is absolutely entrancing making them both believe in the possibility of second chances. Lili has once again left me hanging with bated breath as I anxiously await her (what I KNOW will be) amazing and mesmerizing conclusion to this outstanding series.

Commanding Her Trust by Lili Valente is the second book in her debut series Under His Command. **WARNING** This review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series! You have been warned! So we pick up where the cliffhanger from the last book left off... Erin and Blake had just shared a very passionate Dom/Sub moment in the SUV on the way to the cabin in the mountains and something Blake did irked Erin beyond belief so she tries to get away, half-naked in the freezing cold mountains. Not so smart but she is so mad at him. He is just blown away by how deeply they are connected and how after eight years apart they both have entered the D/s world and fit so well together. He has given her till Sunday to decide on the tattoo alteration - he is still bound and determined to make changes to hers and sever that ethereal connection he feels with her. As the hours roll by they begin to bond again and their feelings awaken from where they've been buried over the years. Some truths come out and things start to feel good between them until an overheard conversation causes the betrayal to flare up again. Dun-dun-dun!!!! The story continues in book three, Claiming Her Heart.

This is the second book in the series of Erin and Blake. Just as things start looking like they are going in the right direction, a misunderstanding and lie throws everything into disarray. We learned more about Erin and her soon to be ex, that she has an infant daughter she is fighting for and that she never stopped loving Blake, even when she ran away the day after his 18th birthday. We still don't know the reasoning for that or where she went after that, before she met her soon to be ex. The fact that her soon to be ex lost all interest in her when she got pregnant left me wondering if other DOMs are that way of if this was just a one off due to this douchebag's stupidity. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series to find out what happens with Erin and Blake, what happens with the baby and the soon to be ex and where everyone ends up. I would also like to learn more about Blake's friend, Rafe. Make sure you grab this series when you can. You will NOT regret it. **Complimentary Copy provided by Author for an honest review.**
