Alternative cover edition of ASIN B0189TSKPU
It takes a strong man to surrender to a dominant woman.
Bernadette Holt isn’t looking for love. A child of divorce, she knows it’s just a lie. All she wants is a man who can handle a good spanking. At her five-year high school reunion, she meets up with Max—the geek who once followed her like a puppy—who’s grown into a successful entrepreneur and a sculpted hunk of man muscle. As devoted as ever, he seems eager to obey her orders. Max’s humble adoration slowly wears down the barriers around her heart, but she doesn’t trust those feelings.
Tech whiz Max Martinov is CEO of a billion-dollar company, where he makes tough decisions all day. At home, he wants someone else in charge. Bernadette, with her steely exterior and soft heart, has been his dream girl since high school. The tall, beautiful redhead carries deep wounds from childhood that he longs to help heal. But when the ghosts from her past resurface, his love may not be enough to save her.
This steamy romance is for a mature audience. It contains scenes of pain and gentleness, sweet kisses, sensation toys, a well-equipped dungeon, a bossy Domme, and a confident sub who sometimes gets too toppy.

Commanding the Billionaire by Andrea Dalling and Sienna Stone was a great story with strong characters, a lot of heat, and some family drama on the heroine's side.
The story focuses on Max Martinov, a college student turned billionaire who goes to his five-year class reunion in the hopes of seeing his high school crush, Bernadette Holt whom he hopes he can connect with again.
Max is a submissive and he recognizes in Bernadette a natural-born Domme whom he hopes will consider starting a relationship with him. Will she? Or will she only still see the geeky kid he was in high school?
I enjoyed this story. The scenes between Max and Bernadette were hot and watching the two characters grow was great. I liked how Max was supportive of Bernadette and how both showed their trust in each other.
My favorite part and quote is when Bernadette tells Max that she doesn't think he is weak. "Real strength is being secure enough to nurture strength in others."
Overall, Commanding the Billionaire was a hot erotic romance that had me completely wanting more. I definitely recommend and can't wait to read more by these authors.

Beautifully written, and hot as hell. I wasn't familiar with the Ache of Desire series, and I'm excited to have discovered a new author whose work I really enjoy. Now where's a cold shower when I need one?

This was the first book i have read where the roles of BDSM were switched so i was definitely intrigued. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and i wasn’t a fan of . It was a steamy book for sure, but i don’t think i would read it again. I just didn’t connect with the characters.

I enjoyed this book. The roles were reversed with the man being the submissive but he definitely wasn't a wimp! I liked the characters and their banter.
