Claiming Her Heart

Claiming her Heart is the conclusion to the Under His Command Trilogy, and it was worth the wait! This is the hottest and the most emotional of the series. Blake proved to Erin that he can dominate and pleasure her. He finally proved that she can trust him, but now Erin needs him more than ever. Blake vows to protect Erin and her secrets but he believes that he's not worthy of her. This is the ultimate second chance love story with a side of kink and suspense. I can't wait for more from Lili Valente! Blake made every part of her feel beautiful, desired—inside and out. When he looked at her with such obvious adoration, she felt like she could do anything, would do anything he asked to make sure the light in his eyes never faded. Kissing Erin was like coming home and being transported to another world all at the same time. She was all he'd ever dreamed of and so much more. He was one lucky b**tard, and so grateful he hadn't lost her. "I was going to use one of the paddles, but I think my hand is better, don't you think?" he asked, punctuating his words with stinging slaps to both mounds of her a**.

The final book in the Series. In the last book, there was a major misunderstanding between Blake and Erin and both of them thought the other had lied about the feelings they had for each other. Blake has forcibly taken Erin back to his cabin and tied her up, ready to change her tattoo so that they no longer have matching tats. Being a true submissive, Erin has mixed feelings about being bound to his bed and when he actually touches the tattoo gun to her back, she just loses it. She has bottled up sooo much during the last eight years and her mind has finally decided that she has reached her breaking point. Blake can't stand to see a woman cry and this is not just regular crying or fury, but a broken woman - the woman he has loved since he was a teenager. They finally have a heart to heart talk and put everything out there. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book, but it is one helleva rollercoaster ride. I don't want to give away a lot of spoilers, as I feel that everyone needs to read their entire story for themselves, to decide what they think of the story. The last two chapters are heartbreakingly beautiful! True born love does exist, even from a young age - it just has

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.
