Stay

His Command, Book 3

By: Piper Scott

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Above a kingdom of kink rules an alpha who’s fought for his family since the beginning.

Sterling Holt, owner of kink club The Shepherd, has given all he has to keep his family together. But after years of hard work raising his much-younger sister, his nest is empty - and so is his heart.

Beneath the weight of his own guilt aches an omega who can’t see salvation.

Proud, cocky, and outspoken, on the surface it looks like Adrian Lowe has it all - but beneath his prickly facade lurks something darker. Something painful. Something he can only escape during weekends at The Shepherd.

He will never forgive himself for what he’s lost.

But the lost can be found again.

When one night of scorchingly intense passion binds two lonely souls together, Adrian and Sterling will either have to sever ties and give in to their loneliness, or admit that what they’ve found in each other is worth staying for.

Stay is a BDSM-flavored audiobook set following the events of Obey and Beg. With this much snark, power play, and pain/pleasure, it can be listened to as a standalone, but it’s best served as a sequel.

STAY , Love wins!

I found the story captivating. This third book in the series was good. The first two books were a bit more defined.
The story only really touched on Adrian’s last with Lucian. I wanted to know what happened with their relationship.
I have loved every book by Piper Scott. I just could not get past the ultimate Alpha, allowing for not only submission, to be degraded during play.
I could never picture Sterling as the epitome of Alpha.

I love this series

I hated Adrian when we first met him in the last book and I didn’t think I would warm to him. Boy did I fall for that poor broken soul. Sterling was everything he needed and then some. God I hate his mother, what a total hateful bitch. I’m so glad that Gabriel is back and I can’t wait to start his story.

I had forgotten how much I so disliked Adrian, for a large part of the book. Yes his mother put him through hell and he was blaming himself for the disappearance of his baby brother, but I still couldn't stand him. Even knowing how things ended up, it still took me time the second time around to warm up to him. Gabriel broke my heart all over again with his "love" for the man that snatched him as a young teen & turned him into a whore in his brothel. I don't remember who the guy was that took him out of the brothel so I can't wait for his book to be released in audio so I can revisit him. Anyway, back to this book, I loved Sterling. He was such a patient loving soul. He never wavered from his love for Adrian nor trying to break down those walls and then having to re-break them down when they were suddenly thrown back up. They were perfect for each other.

Audio ARC provided by LesCourt Services in exchange for an honest review.

so very poignant, what a story loved it

this book brought me to new debths of lows and highs. wonderfully written and performed.

Great Story

I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. I have to say I really enjoyed this book and will now have to go back and read books 1 & 2 as this was the 1st one in the series for me. This story is about Sterling and Adrian. Sterling is an older gentlemen who owns a kink club and lives in the penthouse above it. Adrian is a outspoken omega who hasn't had the best upbringing. This book takes place 4 years after Adrian's brother Gabriel goes missing and that has a lot to do with Adrian's attitude. Now to go and get caught up with the first 2 books.

So good

Stay is probably my favorite one of the series. I loved the relationship Sterling and Adrian have. I’m always a fan of unexpected roles. The narration done by Michael Pauley was of course fantastic.

I had a hard time liking Adrian

I had a very hard time liking or empathizing with Adrian, although he really shined when it came to taking care of Gabriel. I just couldn't forgive trying to take away your own pain by hurting others the way Adrian did. Sterling is definitely a better person than I am. I was far more interested in Gabriel's story and what he went through and how he was brainwashed. Ms. Scott did an admirable job trying to redeem Adrian, and I really felt for his situation, but I couldn't sympathize with the way he responded to it by selfishly hurting others.

Mr. Pauley's narration was excellent, as always. He does a fantastic job expressing emotion, and moving effortlessly from alpha Sterling to meek omega Gabriel.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook through the author, and this is my honest, voluntary review.

oh amazing

I loved this book and the audio.
I thought the characters were well developed.
The story kept you moving at a very good pace and kept you going thru out the whole story. Whether it was to yell at characters or try to reach thru your kindle to slap them. I mean really we all love Michael voice so he just upt the lovability of this story.

Deeply Engaging

Hypnotically drawn into this story by Pauley's voice, Scott's book shines through. Scott has written a masterful tale of Power Exchange and has also given us a tale of love. I found myself deeply engaged in this narration and left wanting more.

Care

This book has an emotional punch. It is so much the angst between the main characters but the things they have gone through in the past or what they are currently facing. I love how Stirling can see there is more to Adrain even before he know what the more is or where it comes from. There is so much support there to help Adrian be the best him. You also see how much he is able to grow as well.

I listened to the audio version and really enjoyed it.

Incredible Story!!

I thought I couldn't possibly love this story any more than I did after reading it, but boy was I wrong! Listening to this story performed by a spectacular narrator made me fall in love with the story and characters all over again and love them even more. Beautifully written story that had me feeling all the emotions right along with the characters. Sterling and Adrian are wonderful characters that I fell in love with from the very beginning. Adrian is not your typical omega which I think is great. Adrian is a wonderful alpha who really cares about Adrian and has a lot of patience in helping him through his issues. This is one I will definitely be listening to again and I can't wait for the next one in the series to release in audio. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audiobook.
