Under His Command Trilogy: The Complete Series

I have found a new author to follow! Controlling Her Pleasure (Under His Command #1) This is the first in a three-part serial and packs a big punch! Blake is young, handsome and a famously successful tattoo artist. While everything couldn’t be better career-wise there is one thing, one person, he is letting affect any hope of happiness in his personal life. Erin lived in the same foster home during their teenage years and friendship evolved over time to, what he thought, would be a life-long love. She left him and he never got over her. The knowledge that they share the same tattoo haunts him. Seeking her out, he knows what he has to do take back his future. Erin is doing everything she can to ensure her abusive husband remains in her past. Having Blake turn up after all this time is a big surprise and finding out what he wants from her is not welcome at all. The chemistry is hot – I mean, HOT – and the dynamic between them comes clear in a car ride never to be forgotten! I love Erin and Blake already. The cover is tantalizing and so is the story – I can’t wait to find out what happens next! +++++ Commanding Her Trust (Under His Command #2) I didn’t think so but I was wrong. Blake and Erin’s story continues in book two of this three-part serial and it is scorching! The attraction, the love, between the two has not diminished over the years of separation but that time did not stand still for either of them. They both went their very different paths and, given their history, trust is not instantly given. Erin is reluctant to share everything and give in whole-heartedly to Blake though she knows, she feels, that he is everything she could want or need. He gets her – her need to be dominated in a safe, loving way. Blake is also struggling with the feelings and emotions that Erin can so easily stir in him. He tries to be practical which simply leads to more misunderstanding and distrust. Secrets are revealed and the drama is heightened as Blake and Erin continue to find out what love really means for both of them. A doozy of a cliffhanger has me waiting not so patiently for the final book in this series! +++++ Claiming Her Heart (Under His Command #3) This is the final installment in the three-part serial and it just ticked every box for me! After another cliffhanger ending that had me on the edge of my seat the finale was everything I’d hoped it would be. Blake and Erin have been working their way through their feelings of mistrust and uncertainty even as they realize that the sexual dynamic between them is as explosive as ever. The sex scenes were intense but the love and caring the two have for each other made those encounters so much more. With a dom/sub dynamic the trust level must be high and in those moments you could feel what they truly meant to each other. Blake was determined to help Erin resolve the problems with her soon-to-be ex husband despite the fact that he didn’t see a permanent place for him in her future. The struggles continued, the drama was amped up but everything came together in an HEA that just made sigh happily. And of course now I want more because I do not want to leave these characters! I hope the author has more in store – is there a story for Rafe, perhaps? I really hope so as I’m looking forward to a lot more from this author who is now on my “must have” list! Thank you to the author who provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This trilogy by author Lili Valente is hot and then some. Full of steam and sexiness, the love story between Blake and Erin is also swoon-worthy. A definite must-read. Controlling Her Pleasure (Book 1): You'll need an extra set of panties and a fan as you read Controlling Her Pleasure, the first book in the Under His Command series by Lili Valente, a new voice in erotic romance. This book is a novella, but, believe me, it is NOT short on the sizzle. The spark between tattoo artist and Dom Blake Roberts and Erin 'Angel' Simmons practically leaps off the page. When these two are together, whether as teens exploring their first love, or, later, as two halves of a very sexy whole, the heat is absolutely palpable. Controlling Her Pleasure is a great introduction to this new series, and had me from the first page. Blake is full of smolder, all man, and not afraid to show it. And Erin, for all of her sass and bravado, is more than happy to find herself under his spell. Their chemistry had me speeding through this read, and I cannot wait for the next book to see what comes next in their adventure. I've happily added Lili to my list of hot authors, and give this book 5+ steamy sexy stars. Commanding Her Trust (Book 2): Holy hot cliffhanger, book lovers! After reading Controlling Her Pleasure by Lili Valente, I could not WAIT to get my hands on Commanding Her Trust, the second book in Lili's Under His Command series. Let me tell you, this book did not disappoint. Talk about off-the-charts hot, this book absolutely scorches. Every single scene is alive with the passion that Blake and Erin have for each other. Blake and Erin have moved forward in this book. Although their desire for each other is always simmering just below each interaction, each of them knows that their relationship cannot move forward without inspiring trust in the other. If they are to get past the events that have brought them to Blake's remote cabin, they have to start being honest with each other. But when Blake takes his role as Dom to a level that has Erin retreating, it's going to take a lot more than passion and the love that hasn't gotten any less powerful to make a go of it. I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what Lili has in store for Blake and Erin. Claiming Her Heart (Book 3) can't get here quickly enough, but, in the meantime, another 5+ smoldery stars for Commanding Her Trust. Claiming Her Heart (Book 3): And, 5+ scorching hot stars for the finish! Claiming Her Heart is the final book in Lili's Under His Command trilogy, and it is great. The emotion that has been building since Blake and Erin reconnected in the first book has gotten more intense, and is at a peak here. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this read. This whole series is a roller coaster of emotion and pure raw hotness. Blake and Erin are completely in tune with each other; their time apart has done nothing to lessen their feelings for each other, and their new-found roles in the bedroom are the perfect fit. Lili does a fabulous job of showing the human side of her characters, and drew me into the story so that I felt totally invested in the outcome. I flew through this book (and the others), wishing that I could savor each page to make it last longer, but unable to slow down because I was dying to see what happened next. Lili is a strong new voice in the erotic literature genre, and I can't wait to read more from her in the very near future.

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! Claiming Her Heart how to write this review with out spoiling the end or the end of the other books, I will try my best but apologize if I can't . Love all three books! Blake is such a strong Dom that remains that way through the 3 stories. I love that, I get tired of books that turn the Dom some what candy a#$ towards the end. Erin is a natural submissive with loads of baggage, she needs a strong Dom to help her straighten things out. the series is full of power plays, secrets and passion. lots of hot steamy BDSM passion a great read and great introduction to a new author.
