You enjoyed the love story of Commander Blaine Rogers and Lieutenant Commander C.R. Vandecamp in the original story in the Hero to Obey anthology. Now read the extended version, as the two reunited lovers struggle to keep their relationship separate from their professional duties.
There are many upheavals during the six-month deployment, leading them to discover how difficult a shipboard romance can be. From the moment his new XO, Lieutenant Commander Vandecamp, walks onto his ship and Blaine discovers that she is, in fact, not only a woman, but his former lover, Charlotte Rose Hanna, they will endure many moments of angst until the day she is called home on emergency leave.
At the end of their WestPac deployment, will they decide to go their separate ways again or will they choose a very different solution to their current situation?
Isabella Kole lives in southern Indiana, where she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Always an avid romance reader, she began writing several years ago and although she has had several mainstream romances published under a different pen name, Accepting His Terms is the first erotic romance in her collection.
When not writing, Isabella can be found traveling around signing books and meeting her readers, working at her day job, or simply enjoying life.
The story is a second chance romance. Go back fourteen years, and Blaine Rogers and Charlotte Rose Hanna were college sweethearts, planning their careers and future. But Charlotte Rose felt it was happening so fast and wanted a break, and Blaine took her request as an end to their relationship. Young, foolish love changed with him leaving and joining the Navy. Charlotte would go to work in communications and be encouraged to consider the military, joining the Navy and applying to OSC. She will meet another OSC candidate, Tim Vandecamp and a whirlwind courtship and quick marriage. But not everything was good, both off on various ships or assignments is no good for a happy marriage.
Now fourteen years later, C. R. “Charlie” Vandecamp finds herself on a new assignment with very little time to arrive at the ship, commanded by Blaine Rogers. What will happen when these two are reunited again? Will he remember her? Will he hold a grudge? For both of them, letting their relationship end, and not fighting for true love has haunted each of them.
Their first port in Hawaii will have them enjoying shore leave together. “He filled her completely, not only her body but her heart. She was alive, she was well, and she was back in the arms of the only man she could ever fully submit to. And submit she did, for that night, she finally, after fourteen years adrift, gave herself to Blaine Rogers completely; heart, mind, body and soul.” But what will become of the rest of their deployment—and future? Will she submit to his dominance like she did in college? Maybe it is time for them to have their happily ever after ending finally.
I read this originally in the Hero to Obey anthology, and at the time the author was completely unknown to me. I’ve since developed an appreciation for her work. This story gives me not only a second chance romance but also a military hero and heroine, combining a couple of my favorite themes. I wasn’t a fan of the first punishment shown in this book because I couldn’t support the reasoning behind it. Charlie wasn’t the only one at fault for their break-up and, at this point, Blaine hasn’t apologized for the part he played in causing it. I was very glad to see that he does take ownership of his actions and I really liked seeing their relationship as it progressed from there. I also read the flu outbreak onboard in a very, very different way than I did when I first read this story. Overall, I was impressed with how well these scenes stood up in the atmosphere of a population now well-versed in the global pandemic and its necessary precautions. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout as part of the box set.
This book is a wonderful story of a second chance at love. Blaine and Charlotte had been lovers in college, but separated when she wanted to slow things down. He joined the navy and became an officer; she did the same and chance brought them together on the same ship. The story of how their love rekindled is heart warming and sexy, and there is a mild amount of spanking in the course of their renewed affair. Both characters are likable, intelligent and know what they want from life and their relationship, and it made for an enjoyable story.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. Charlotte Rose and Blaine had a relationship in college Some confusion led to their breakup and for years they've been apart. Unbeknownst to the other they both join the Navy. Now Charlotte, known as Charlie, has been assigned to Blaine's command. Together again, they rekindle their love. Spanking romance.
This is a book about a meeting rekindling feelings long in the past. This is a difficult book for me to review because I found myself disliking Blaine at the start. I found him arrogant & unwilling to accept his part in the original relationship breakdown. But the more I read the more I liked him. By the end of the story I was happy with their HEA.
This is a sweet story of love re kindled after years apart. The romance was nice and the story had enough drama to keep it flowing. I really liked Charlie's character. She was submissive, but still tough. I'm really glad the author decided to expand on this story.
This is a book that originally was in the anthology hero to obey.now with a little extra added this is a great book with some discipline and lots of love and some drama. This is a standalone with a HEA
