Seeking His Command

An MM Romance of Second Chances (Intricate Ties, Book 1)

De: A.E. LeMercier

Narrado por: Tyler Laux

A deeply emotional, romantic tale of healing and redemption.

Nervous and seeking escape from his crumbling life, newly divorced Miles Bennet turns to the art of surrender in a last-ditch effort to reclaim his shattered self-worth. At Shimizu Services, an elite sanctuary of power and trust, he meets Darren—a warm, confident professional whose gentle authority offers Miles a lifeline. As Darren guides him through the intricacies of trust, discipline, and total vulnerability, Miles begins to rediscover a strength he thought was lost forever.

As their private sessions of intensive guidance and intricate rope-work deepen, Miles must confront desires he never anticipated, especially when he realizes his journey isn't just about healing… it's about the man holding the line. But can he trust himself—or Darren—enough to truly let go?

A steamy, emotional journey of trust, authority, and the courage to love beyond labels.

The quiet, earnest vulnerability of Shane Hollander (Heated Rivalry) meets the profound healing and protective authority of a Nora Phoenix hero in this high-heat romance where a man broken by trauma discovers his deepest healing lies in the total devotion of a protector's embrace. Heat level: 5

Witty

Seeking His Command by A. E. LeMercier is a great LGBTQ romance. Tyler Laux did a great job with the narration. The story is entertaining, funny, enjoyable, exciting, and more. Seeking His Command is the first book in Intricate Ties series.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.would recommend

So good!

What a beautifully written story. A.E. LeMercier did such a wonderful job. If I’m being honest, I usually only read dark romance, so this was a completely new experience for me... and it was really lovely. I’m definitely going to need to read the next installment because I have to know what happens.

And Tyler’s narration? Superb. I loved it. His delivery was so smooth and easy to listen to and he really brought the characters to life. I’m excited to listen to more of his work in the future. So good!

Oh Em Gee!

I loved the dynamic between the 2. And the crush? omg so cute! I can't wait for more. Tyler's smooth voice wraps you in cuddly feels throughout the book. Sasha cracks me up. I can't get though.
The only thing that bothered me was the overuse of their names.

Yes Sir!

First book and I am hooked for this Intricate Ties series!

Beautifully written story of a D/s relationship brought to life by Tyler Laux in his rich tones that I could listen to for hours. I didn’t want it to end. It does end in a cliffhanger as the series follows the same couple through their journey so you will want to read/listen to the books in order. I will try to patiently wait for the next book in the series to be recorded!

I love what I have heard so far and am looking forward to continuing on with Darren’s and Miles’ journey. Darren is the patient, loving and kind dom that Miles needs to learn how to be vulnerable and completely let go. I am hoping as we continue on with their journey we will get to know these men more in depth as they build their relationship with each other. This first part is from Miles POV so we are given small glimpses into knowing him a little bit as he becomes more vulnerable. I hope we will get Darren’s POV as well.

This is a new to me author and a new to me narrator and I am excited to listen to more stories from both of them!
