COMMAND AND CONTROL by Shelli Stevens

COMMAND AND CONTROL is book Book 2 in Shelli Steven's Holding Out for a Hero series, which can also be a stand alone if you just want to pick this one up but I would recommend reading GOING DOWN which is book one.

Firstly Shelli has on her blog I AM THE AUTHOR YOUR MOTHER WARNED YOU ABOUT, and that couldn't be more true, this isn't your mama's romance. It's sexy and sweet with just enough emotional tug of war you really aren't sure who's side you are on. That is until you are so absorbed in the story that you just can't put it down!

The pain that both Meagan and Trevor go through is heartbreaking but necessary. Trevor's ghosts of his past years fighting in the war in the middle east have taken their toll on his sanity. Half the man he was a year ago and not able to move forward in his personal life he has alienated not just Megan but his entire family. Bruising the relationship to the core, it is just so dark for him that he doesn't feel he will ever see the light.

Megan although is destroyed, she has lost her heart when she lost Trevor, he came back a ghost, a shadow of the man she fell in love with. But she can't get past the soul searing passion they have shared and as desperately as she wants him back she knows in her heart that the old Trevor is gone.

Or so she thinks, Trevor is strong and when he gets hint that she is dating again, he knows simply that it is crap. No matter how many men she dates, they will always be soul mates, they will always be one. Too bad he can't get Megan to see the light. He will have to jump through some serious hoops emotionally to patch up all the open wounds of their relationship. Working his way back one I'm going to rock your world kiss at a time.

And boy does he ever.

Their journey back makes for one hell of a sizzling, light your panties on fire read that will, if you aren't already, a lifetime fan of Shelli Stevens. The passion that bubbles to the surface for these two is undeniable but with all of that reality hits hard and Trevor is forced to face his demons looking back at him in the mirror head on. It's not pretty, but the strength of their love pulls them through just when you think all is lost. Two great characters that shine in their own light with his touching, erotic and breathlessly seductive romance.



He’s afraid of losing his grip. She’s about to untie his last knot…
Megan Asher has a thriving career, looks, self-confidence to spare. It all means little without the love of her life. Trevor has returned from deployment in Afghanistan a haunted man, emotionally distant and unwilling to connect—except in bed. Then even that fragile thread snaps. Brokenhearted, she is forced to call off their wedding and, after a few months’ separation, try to move on.
With every aspect of his life spinning out of his once-legendary control, Trevor Wyatt convinces himself that Megan is better off—and safer—as far away from his demons as possible. Until he comes back to town for his brother’s wedding, and discovers Megan is dating.
Suddenly realizing what he’s thrown away, he vows to breach the fortress she’s built around her heart. They come together in a cataclysm of rekindled passion that unleashes the very demons he never wanted her to witness.
Back to square one, Megan realizes she must take the ultimate risk to slip past Trevor’s defenses. Give him control in the one place she can. The bedroom. The seductive move is one she prays will be the first step in helping heal him and their love.

I am a working mom with an addiction to coffee, chocolate, and books.. I read an average 3 to 4 books a week to escape reality. I have setup this site to organize my own thoughts and help others when choosing what to read. Since I can be a dimwit at times I decided to keep a record of the books I read. This record turned into reviews so I would remember if I liked the book I forgot I had read. I am not particularily funny and my grammer sucks so please don’t expect much. Basically I don’t know jack about many things, but I do know what I like in a novel and what makes me want to spend my money on an author.
