Under His Command

by Kristine Cayne

[Cocktails and Books]

I don't know what I can say about this book that will due it justice, at least in my eyes. But I will tell you this....Kristine Cayne has managed to jump into the erotic romance realm with a couple that are scorching hot, but still have the complex, emotional relationship I've come to love in the stories she writes.

Jamie Caldwell is desperate to put his family back together. He thought he lost Erica, but an earthquake managed to make them both realize they were still desperate for one another. What they didn't have was complete honestly and trust. To try and get that back, they leave for the Hawaiian islands, hoping that week will help them reconnect and get their relationship back on track.

This was unlike any other BDSM type book that I've read. We had a Dom that was willing to push that part of himself aside and be the kind of husband his thought his wife wanted. Then we have the uber controlling sub, who doesn't know she's a sub. It's a little confusing and it's that confusing the makes you instantly love Jamie and Erica.

Jamie and Erica have HUGE communication and trust issues. Neither of them trust themselves to turn into the person they are trying to hide from the other, which makes them give less than 100% of themselves to the relationship. And they don't talk to each other. It's only after they start talking, about everything, that they are able to finally start talking about their sex life and letting those secret parts of themselves come out. And when those parts comes out....Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell are SMOKING HOT!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the complex relationship between Jamie and Erica. They were perfectly imperfect and had me devouring this book in a couple of hours. I will now anxiously await the next book in the series, hoping I won't have to wait too long.
