Stay (His Command Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 343 ratings

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 78,000 word BDSM-flavored novel set following the events of Obey and Beg. With this much snark, power play, and pain/pleasure, it can be read as a standalone, but it’s best read as a sequel.

Piper Scott’s love of reading began at age ten, when she discovered that the magical worlds in adult fantasy novels were way more exciting than playground politics.

A Canadian by birth but an American by marriage, Piper currently resides in Southern Illinois, where she leads a quiet life with her husband, their three dogs, a very demanding cat, and her office mate—her pet rabbit.

    This story was terrific. I was initially unsure how Adrian's character could be redeemed and if I would be able to like him after his behavior in the prior book. The way that his history was explored really opened my eyes to him as a character. He acted standoffish, judgmental, and rude because of his past. Sterling is able to break down the walls Adrian has built around himself in the most beautiful way possible. By using positivity and pleasure Sterling helps Adrian which in turn allows Adrian to protect his brother Gabriel. This is certainly my favorite book in the series so far. I'm very impressed in the character development and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I look forward to the next one, hopefully it will be about Gabriel as I'd love to see him heal and be in a happy and healthy place in his life. I also loved the sex scenes, I have never read BDSM flavored scenes quite like this! The way pleasure was explored in their relationship was really unexpected in the best way possible. I look forward to more!

    So far, out of the first 3 books in this series and the books of the previous series, this was my favorite. It's got a redemption arc, role reversals, hurt/comfort, an omega who's all, "eff you, I won't do what you tell me," with a softer, tortured inside, (my personal favorite kind of omega), drama galore in different directions, and sweetness, sexiness, humor, and a small, but engaging supporting group of side characters to balance it out.
    The narration was excellent too.
    The author also did an excellent job of laying enough groundwork for readers to want to dive right into the next book. Well played.

    I want everyone to read this book - it has SUCH a different take on the whole alpha/omega thing. Adrian is NO helpless omega. He is snarky, angry, complex, often dominant, but when his walls come down, he is fiercely loyal and loving. I ADORED him. And Sterling is PERFECT for him. His focus is on making sure that Adrian gets what he needs, even if that means switching up the traditional alpha/omega D/s roles a bit. Sterling loves Adrian's wit and snark and fierceness, and right from the start, he sees past the prickles to who Adrian really is. LOVE them together. And their first time is EPIC hate sex. So. Hot.

    This is a BDSM book, and there's one scene that had me cringing a little, even though I don't have the body parts that were being abused. But THEY got off on it, so it's all good. As always, I gained new insights through Piper's writing, like this: "Being in control wasn’t only about seeing power taken away from a lover—it was about guiding a body otherwise helpless through orgasm."

    For those who hated Adrian and the part he played in Beg, I think you'll come around when you see the guilt and torture he's been living through, and the reasons behind his actions. I just wanted to give the poor guy a BIG HUG.

    SO EXCITED for the next book in this series!!!

    Stay by Piper Scott is the third book in the M/M Omegaverse series. I enjoyed this book. I didn't really care though for Adrian or Sterling. I liked parts of both of them, but as a whole, I didn't really care for them. I liked Sterling as a parent to his baby sister that he raised and his home office that has all of her artwork up. I didn't really like how people thought that he had a harem and how they perceived him, especially when it wasn't true. I also didn't like him as a Dom and when he blackmailed Adrian into a total power swap so that he doesn't get his membership to The Shepard revoked and then knew that he wasn't going to enforce the power swap and even allowed Adrian who is also a Dom at The Shepard to dominate him. Although Adrian isn't a real Dom because he doesn't do what he does for the submissive, Adrian needs to inflict pain on another person to transfer his emotional pain to another person. He uses BDSM to release his pain kind of like a cutter cuts themselves to release the emotional pressure that builds up inside them. Sterling is there to teach him a better way to deal with his feelings, and I liked that part. But after Adrian is in a better mindset and dominates Sterling again the scene was too much like their first encounter together to show me that he has learned anything. Overall, not my favorite of the three books so far. I can't wait to see what the next book will bring. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

    It took me a while to like Adrian - maybe because his actions were so despicable against Lucian in the previous book. I also didn’t really understand the dynamic between Adrian & Sterling through most of the book. I’d have liked to see more of Adrian submitting to Sterling and finding freedom in doing so.

    My heart felt like it was breaking seeing how Gabriel was so brainwashed and how Adrian had accepted the blame for everything bad that had ever happened to the Lowe family. I was happy to see Sterling come and start helping the Lowe boys heal.

    Adrian is a member of an exclusive bdsm club where he acts out his pain on everyone else. He is an aggressive omega determined to dominate his partners alphas included. He makes life miserable for one of the staff out of jealousy and he gets in trouble with Sterling, the owner of the club. They have a tumultuous relationship when Adrian gets pregnant after only one time with Sterling. Sterling doesn't know why but he knows Adrian has huge walls up and anger is his default position. He decides to win him over with kindness because he wants the baby even though Adrian says he doesn't. To complicate matters further Adrian's younger brother Gabriel shows up as a broken man after a four year absence. There is a lot of grief, healing and love for our main characters and hope for Gabriel. It is a well written steamy and intense story. Highly recommended.
