Beg

His Command, Book 2

By: Piper Scott

Narrated by: Michael Dean

In a city of sin broods an alpha tired of his past.

Criminal defense attorney Marcus Hayes’ bedroom is empty, but he can’t bring himself to fill it. Years of casual encounters and heated play sessions with seasoned submissives have left him numb - and the older he gets, the more the lifestyle loses its allure. The change he knows he needs isn’t easy to come by.

But change is closer than he thinks.

Beneath blinding strobe lights toils an omega eager for a better future.

Lucian Bracknell is finally free from the horrors of the White Lotus brothel, and for the first time in his life, he’s on his own. Independence means discovering who he is and redefining his relationship with the world, but when he lands a bartending job at the Shepherd, that world turns upside down. Behind the Shepherd’s bar counter, Lucian is untouchable, and "no" is a drug he can’t get enough of.

Until his eyes lock with those of an alpha he’s not allowed to have, and those firm "no’s" turn to whimpered "yes’s".

But forbidden desire this hot can’t be contained forever, and when the fires of their lust start to scorch, Marcus and Lucian will either have to succumb to the heat and face the consequences together, or burn with it until one of them falls on their knees and begs for relief.

growth and more

The games Lucian and Marcus played in the beginning were humorous and hot and added to my enjoyment level. I liked the snippets of updates on Crawford and watching him change and grow too with fatherhood. Adrian made me furious with his pushy nature and blackmail attempts!! Grr... I liked the growth in Marcus and was glad he found his missing piece in Lucian. Looking forward to more. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

When Forbidden Becomes Wanted

A riveting tale about two men who are meant to be forbidden to each other but still come together. This was a fantastic book with good character development and a gripping story.
The sacrifice Marcus was willing to make for Lucian proved what a long way he came.

The narration was done smoothly and the characters were engaging. An amazing addition to this series.

Beg... A demanding read

The second in series lives its own life from start to finish. I'm never one to reveil the story, but there is stream and interest from the moment these two meet. Both giving and able to give what the other needs. Characters that aren't shallow or missing bits that leave them unbelievable. Piper Scott does it again, and I love listening to Micheal Dean as he reads. He breathes life into characters.

love this series and this book

Beg is the second book in the His Command series by Piper Scott. Oh Marcus and Lucian are steamy.... I also found a sweetness to them. The story definitely got my interest and held it. This whole series is one of my top favorites...

Michael Pauley narrates this story and does a fantastic job helping the listener engrossed themselves in the world created by Piper Scott. Each character has their personality shine here. Great job.

such a beautiful tender story

narration was perfect, the story while hot and seductive had a great effect on the entire story. loved it.

Great narration!

4 Stars!

Beg is book 2 in the His Command series by Piper Scott and it can technically be read as a standalone, however, the couple from book 1 features in this one and I really liked their story, so I suggest reading them in order.

While I liked Marcus and my heart broke for all Lucien had to go through, I wasn't completely engrossed in their story. Yes, they were hot together, but it felt a bit, I don't know, forced maybe? At least at first. It got better and by the epilogue, I even shed a few tears at how much Marcus and Lucien had grown as a couple.

Unfortunately, and this is more my issue than anything else, there were some plot points that were left unresolved or weren't really addressed in the end and that left me unsatisfied. First and foremost, the whole Adrian thing, really, I would've hoped for him to get his just desserts after how he treated Lucien. And then, the thing with the human trafficking case, which was just glossed over, why mention it if you're not doing anything with it?

Michael Pauley did an amazing job with the narration, though. His voice is very pleasant and while in some of his earlier works, it felt like he got a bit hyper, he's learned to modulate his tone and deliver a solid performance.

While not my favorite book, if possible grab the audio, Michael Pauley truly made the experience a whole lot better than just reading the story would have.

what a turn around

When we meet Lucien in book one he is one heck of a flirt. He doesn't lose that completely in this book but we see how he takes what he learns at the treatment centre and fights the pull his omega instincts naturally want. Seeing Marcus understanding this and helping to make it both something Lucien wants and needs.

must listen

I love this series. so when it came out on Audio I had to snatch it up. I mean come on Michael Pauley is narrating you know it's going to knock our socks off.
In this story we get Omega Lucian and Marcus story.
Lucian has been released from slavery in a brothel and just finished his rehabilitation and is determined to make the most of his life now that he is his own man.
He gets a job as a bartender in a kink club and feels it is a step forward to a brighter and better future.
Marcus-An Alpha finding the casual hookups no longer fulfill his needs is bored and is finding it hard to be interested until he looks at the club's new bartender that is.
This is a great book and Michael did an amazing job with the narration of this one.

Wonderful continuation

This is a great continuation to the series. Well written with good characters and solid story line. Pauley as usual does a fabulous job giving voice to the men making it an enjoyable listen.

What belongs to me will never beg. - Marcus Hayes

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

Story comment: good pace, interesting characters and an entertaining story... I just wish it were longer, it's characters and their story needed further developing.
I like the way this series challenges my idea's of the Dom/Sub relationship.

I enjoyed Michael Dean's narration. I had no problem distinguishing characters, felt the emotion and chemistry between the characters and he bought the book to life.
