Commanding Her Trust

Lili has a unique way of writing with passion, lust, emotion and love. I'm addicted to this series! Commanding Her Trust starts off where Controlling Her Pleasure left off…Erin trying to run away from Blake in the middle of the woods. Blake has to keep reminding himself why he has brought Erin here. But, Erin has a plan as well. She wants to keep her tattoo, it's her money maker. With love bubbling under the surface, they both assume their roles as Dom and Sub to cover up their feelings. Blake wants Erin to trust him, but can he trust her? Erin is keeping a secret and he wants to know what it is! This novella is HOT, HOT, HOT! I can't wait to see what happens next! "Don't think I'm not tempted. I'd love to show you what you've been missing," he said. "I like force," she continued playfully. "If it's used properly." Just kissing, not taking things much further, neither of them willing to risk that the perfection of those stolen moments would be destroyed by going too far too fast.

Another holding on to the seat of your pants addition to a hot series. Ms. Valente had done an excellent job of writing a book I could not put down. We start right where we left off, Blake catching Erin before she gets away. Off to the cabin to change that tattoo or not? Love is rekindled until a big secret comes out.  Will they resolve it? Will they part?  I can't wait for the conclusion! I love that at the start of the book it points out this is a cliffhanger ending.  That saves me from getting mad.

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.
