sweet HEA... Oh Crawford...

This is a very simple pet/master story with a very light intro into BDSM. This book is almost 5 hours and that was just not enough. It lacked character development, situation development and relationship development. It didn't have the time to fully describe the critical moments that begged to be explained. I had to fill in the gaps myself to the point where I wondered ... who is writing this story? Piper or me?

Also, if I hear the words Alpha and Omega again, I'm going to scream. It's really sub/dom but still, over usage of the words in the beginning drove me nuts.

This story has a major twist to how things are in life. Without having to say too much, I found this "reality" hard to digest to the point where I thought it was nuts. But, if you can get pass this, after all it's just fiction, then perhaps this is a good story. Take it for what it is... entertainment.

Michael Pauley is the reason why I gravitated towards this book. And, of course, he doesn't disappoint. Even though I felt the story was lacking in a few ways, Michael was able to totally enhance this book to the point where I was engaged at all times. He is amazing! Narration is perfect!

I did enjoy Crawford's relationship with Owen. Love their chemistry... this is what kept me engaged. I wish this book was at least twice as long for proper development. It left me wanting more.

Enjoy!

Very enjoyable listen!

I knew going into this that I would enjoy the narration because, well it's Michael Pauley, you can't go wrong with him narrating a story. As expected the story was well told and it was easy to determine voices. The story itself is good as well. It's a slightly different take on the omegaverse and the dom/sub universe as well. I have seen some reviews that were disappointed about all the happenings that went on off page but for me that didn't affect my enjoyment of the story at all. This isn't a long book but we get enough of the world building and character building to enjoy the story. At first I was concerned at how quickly Owen turned over his submission but as the relationship grew and I saw more of how Crawford treated him it became very clear that Owen still held the power in the relationship. At no point was Owen's choice taken away from him about anything. In every step that was taken Crawford gave the decision over to Owen. This was a sweet story with little to no angst and a HEA. I'm looking forward to what's next in this series.

love it!

Obey by Piper Scott is the first book in the His Command series. Crawford and Owen are interesting characters who I felt drawn in by. The story is entertaining and satisfying, with an mpreg and light BDSM.

The audiobook is narrated by Michael Pauley. A great voice that helps the listener get lost into the story. The personalities of the characters shine through. Great job!

Weird in the Best Way

This is most definitely original and different. Sexy and heartwarming. Will be continuing to the next in the series. Perfectly narrated. Highly recommend!

Loved it!

This was my first read from this author and it won’t be my last. First I want to say I absolutely love Michael Dean. He is one of my favorite narrators. He definitely did not disappoint with his portrayal in this book.

Now I have never really been a fan of MPREG but after this my interest has now been peeked and I have read several of them. What I liked about this book is the story itself. There was such a struggle for Owen. He fought so hard to forget his past. Crawford is all he needed to do that. Their chemistry and the ways Crawford knew to take care of him and give him what he needed were beautiful. The struggles and the loneliness were heart wrenching but in the end you could feel the love these two men had for each other.

Thank you for such a great read. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Good for a fap, forgettable though after a week.

This was fine. Good Erotic junk food. Light attempts at kink that really feels like it last long enough for one scene. After that it feels fairly standard erotica.

The first scene takes about 50% of the book to get to but was worth it for the wait. Lots of build up and tension that eventually made the scene just super juicy.

Chemistry is definetly nonsensical though. It's all based on the Omega and Alpha forced attraction because of biology trope. So you really don't get a good vibe or understanding of either character other then surface level, physical and primal needs. That leads a lot to be desired to really feel anything other then lust for these characters. By the end though, i guess i didn't mind as much, just solidified this as good Erotic junk food for a quick fix of something naughty, maybe it wasn't trying to be romantic.

So, after a quick fap, I honestly think I'll forget all about this book as it didn't leave a lasting impression. The Erotic scenes were nice but nothing that will stick in my memory for very long.

True Choice

I really loved this story. I love that Owen has to think about what he truly wants deep down and that sometimes having a choice means letting someone else take charge. There are other matters that come up as well where choices have to be made and there is power just in being able to make those choices.

I listened to the audio version which was well done and enjoyable.

The beginning of a great series

I previously read this but the audio version is so much more. Owen had all my empathy and more. Crawford saw something very special in Owen and nurtured him and helped him to complete healing.I enjoyed their journey and look forward to continuing this amazing series in audio, because it rocked in ebook version. High expectations fulfilled. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

very good

I found this very enjoyable. There is some BDSM but it's light. The narrator does a good job as well and makes sure you can tell the voices appart.
