Breathe

His Command, Book 5

De: Piper Scott

Narrado por: Michael Dean

Atop an empire of his own design lives an alpha waiting to die.

CEO Marshall Alcrest has the financial world at his feet, but it’s been years since he’s made an omega kneel…and he’s come to terms that it’s too late to ever see it happen again. A grim prognosis will cut his days short if he doesn’t take action soon, and Marshall is ready to say goodbye to his hollow, lonely life…at least, until he crosses digital paths with an omega who makes him feel alive again.

Trapped in a world that doesn’t see his value exists an omega dying to live.

Oli McKellar is stuck. He’s educated and ready to work, but his chosen field is alpha-dominated, and no marketing department is looking to hire a pretty omega with a sarcastic mouth. The bills are stacking up, his temp jobs barely cover rent, and he’s begun to think that life will never get better. The only thing that keeps him going is his online relationship with a man he only knows as Alcrest - an older, dominant alpha with a silver tongue who makes him feel like not all hope is lost.

When a chance encounter turns Oli and Marshall’s virtual relationship real, their chemistry is off the charts, and things quickly heat up. But Marshall is keeping a secret…and when Oli finds out that a hot night together isn’t all he has to remember Marshall by, they’ll need to figure out if the weight of their obstacles will choke them into submission, or if theirs is the kind of love that will conquer all and leave them both breathless.

Breathe is a BDSM-flavored mpreg novel set following the events of Obey, Beg, Stay, and Heal. This conclusion to the series is best enjoyed as a sequel, but can be heard on its own. No matter which way you listen to it, there will still be copious amounts of maybe-babies, a spaghetti graveyard, sexts so filthy that someone legitimately passes out, and a shower scene that will leave you gasping.

Loved it!

I loved this addition to the His Command series. I loved Oli and Marshall. They had great chemistry and some great scenes. I loved the emotional connection between them and how that always remained a constant, something to trust in. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet and sexy read. Michael Pauley does an amazing job of bringing these characters to life! There's a reason he is one of my favorite narraters!

Brilliant Series hope there is more

The performance was outstanding I laughed frequently and felt like I would cry as well. very deep and yet playful. WOW!

Saved the best for last!

Swoon! This book has all the feels and is so heartwarming! Perfectly narrated! Highly recommend this series!!

Loves this book series

I loved reading all the books in the series.
And to know that we get to see the kids come together in the single dad series is heartwarming. But I still love Oliver's character the best!
I would love to see more books with all of them.

very hot

this is a don't miss series if you like bdsm type books. amazing writing and narration.

Catch My Breath

This series contains catchy one-word titles and all work, but none is more appropriate than this one. Breath is essential to life and when it is obstructed – in many different ways – life becomes precarious. Perhaps even deadly. Don’t worry, no one dies in this book, but one of the main characters is dying, each breath a labor-intensive process. Marshall Alcrest is biding time until his life ends. He’s only forty-seven, but a deadly diagnosis sent him into a depression that lead him to cut off many of his old friends. He has a high-powered job that brings minimal satisfaction these days. He’s rich beyond belief and lonely as hell.

Oliver McKellar is an omega in a world dominated by alphas. He’s broke, a little desperate, and looking for a job that will take care of his basic needs. His only sources of true joy are his friend Cedric and his online hookup ‘Alcrest’. Oli has no idea who this man is, but their sexting brings relief to him in more ways than one. Things go well until Oli’s life falls apart. All seems lost until he meets up with Alcrest in real life. Oli is immediately attracted to the older man and their first meeting is…epic. Alcrest, upon hearing of Oli’s run of bad luck, has the impulse to step in and take over. Oli has some pride and wants to hold on to his dignity, so he turns down most of it.

Their texting relationship resumes with some interesting and, in one case, dire results.

Suddenly, though, Marshall has a reason to live. Beyond work, there is someone who needs him. Someone who doesn’t have a plan to succeed him. Now he’s faced with some life-altering decisions, foremost whether it’s worth fighting for.

This is not a depressing book. Ms. Scott brings her snarky banter as well as characters from previous books. I wasn’t lost, though, so no worries if you pick up this final book in the series. I’ve only read book 4 so it’s on my list to go back and read the others. She has a way of making the omega characters strong while also giving them the need to be loved. She gives her alphas nurturing qualities, something that is often missing. These books are light BDSM and I want to emphasize light. It works for those not interested and piques the curiosity of those who are.

Finally, I have to mention Michael Pauley. He’s done a great job with this series and keeps putting out consistent and quality performances. Love his work.

I’m sorry to see the series end but for those who enjoyed it, I recommend the Forbidden Desires series. That’s how I first discovered Ms. Scott’s work and she’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Great story

This is a tie for 1st place in the series for me. This was a great story for both characters where we see both of them having to grow and learn. When the heart finds its match your perspective and decisions change.

Oli and Marshall touched my heart!!

Oli and Marshall touched my heart and are my favorite of this series! It has been almost two years since i read this story and i was ecstatic that it came out on audible.  I found the narration wonderful and it really brought the characters and their struggles and finally love, really alive for me.  

Oli and Marshall’s love story touched my heart and made me cry big ugly tears, made me laugh and made my heart sing with happiness.  I love this author's writing!  The world-building in this series has been awesome and each new layer adds another texture and new feels.  i am a fan of this whole series, however Oli and Marshall own my heart.

 i so enjoyed the banter between the MC's and it was wonderful seeing the previous characters continue to play a role in this story. i love that these characters started in the virtual world and their relationship flourished there and then through fate, they met in the 'real world' and their connection went super nova.

This book could be read as a standalone, however that would be like having a banana split with no ice-cream and toppings.  Good, but amazing when all together. Treat yourself to this whole series!  A must read!  

Love it!

I absolutely love this last of this series so much!! Marshall and Oli's story is my favorite of this series. This just like all the other ones in this series is an emotional one. Oli is such a funny character and is so perfect for Marshall because he makes him want to live. And Michael Pauley pulls all those emotions that Marshall is feeling and I just fell in love even more with these two characters. I just want these characters happy so this ending makes me so happy. An amazing ending to this series!

One of my favorites

This story is amazing! Emotional, sweet, sexy...
I love the characters and felt all the feels for their story. I have recommend this book to other and can honestly say that it stick with me and made me want to reread it. The series it is part of is phenomenal.

Narration by Michael Pauley. The characters come to life and the story shines with this excellent voice work and clear recording.
