The Cimarron Series #2

Into His Command

Rate this book
The Cimarron Series books can be read as stand-alones, though some readers might enjoy the continuity of secondary characters by reading the series in order. Every novel in the series is a complete story with a happy ending. Into His Command is Book 2 of the series.

It's here! Book 2 of Angel Payne's sensual series, highly anticipated by reviewers and readers alike, is the emotional, unforgettable story of Samsyn Cimarron and Brooke Valen...

A hero worshipped.
Brooke Valen has resigned herself to a life of adoring Samsyn Cimarron from afar. The massive warrior has been her knight in shining armor since the night her family arrived on the island of Arcadia, forced to blend into the strange new land to avoid a terrorist’s bounty. Though Brooke has grown into a woman and devoted herself to earning Syn’s respect, she doubts he’ll ever see her as anything more than a scrawny teen with stars in her eyes.

A prince scarred.
To Samsyn Cimarron, true love is a concept best left to story books. Syn likes things he can control better, like the secrets he must keep to ensure his country’s security—and a long string of one-night lovers. But when Brooke is wounded helping to defend the kingdom, all his careful mandates are shattered—and fleeting passion with her doesn’t feel like enough. Brooke affects him like no other lover…

A fate sealed.
Suddenly, Arcadia’s security hinges on Samsyn and Brooke uniting as more than “friends with benefits”—much to Syn’s conflict. Can he fight the new sensations that come with having her all to himself? There’s a dark side of his desire—and exposing it may turn Brooke from him forever.

A love realized?
Though sharing a bed with the man of her dreams, Brooke has never felt more alone. Is the love in her soul strong enough to reach the beast in Syn’s, or will she have to prove her devotion by confronting Arcadia’s most vile enemy?

I received an eARC, from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
'Into His Command' by Angel Payne is book two in the "The Cimarron" Series. This is the story of Brooke Valen and Samsyn Cimarron. I have not yet read book one 'Into His Dark' yet so I did feel this was a standalone book.
Brooke and her family had fled to the island of Arcadia after threats/bounty was put on them. There Brooke met Samsyn and from the very first time she knew she would love him. But him being the Prince, a few years older and his playboy reputation she thought she would love him from afar.
Samsyn felt very strong feelings for Brooke the first time he saw her too. But Samsyn has turned away from believing in real love since he found his parents were cheating left and right on each other. Also to me it didn't see as he grew from a family that really knew what love was so he didn't really learn about love.
But know Brooke is older and Samsyn is giving into his desire for her. Brooke knows this won't last as she knows he never stays with a women and also Samsyn as pretty much said that they can never be. Can Samsyn overcome his loveless pass and see what is right in front of him?
Loved this book and will be trying to find more books by Ms. Payne!

Loved this couple a lot and their story as well!!! The author has created a very interesting world like a tv series and every book each like an episode of it at least that is the way i imagine it..the characters have gotten into the list of my favorite book characters, Brooke is an intelligent woman definitely a minx with temper, she is also brave and very bold for a female character (that is one of the reasons i liked her character) she knows what she wants and goes after it straight away, he was a little hard to get but only Brooke could with the quite unique personality. Samsyn on the other hand is a possessive, strong-head (!!!! a lot), with dominant personality and a little savage some times... "Get this off. Your bra, too. I will have you bare for me, woman. Now." (you see what i mean??)...

They got into the skin of each other from the moments their eyes met... "His adorable, brave little refugee still trembled like a star readying to fall from the heavens. A star." She is his bright star or Starlight and he is her protector, her love... i found their dialogues very sweet and fascinating, as for the sex scenes, they were extremely hot and one of the many highlights in this book.

"I wanted to laugh- but his voice arrested everything in my body. There was a new element in that masculine husk. An ache. No.. a need, Like he was in pain."

I definitely recommend it, i'm certain that you're going to find it as interesting and enjoyable as i did and i'm looking forward to read the next book of the series.

INTO HIS COMMAND by Angel Payne was so good, it's SQUEEL-WORTHY! I have a big grin on my face right now! It felt so good to dive back into this beautiful mystical world that Payne has created. And these characters....GAH! I love them so hard! It's Samsyn Cimarron's turn to get his Happily Ever After and damn it if it didn't come easy at all for him. Brooke Valen, she is our heroine, and she is a little firecracker, that one. The PERFECT match for Syn. Her light to his dark. Her softness to his grit. Her moxie to his calm.

"Her beauty destroyed him. Her love transformed him."

There is an instant connection when Brooke meets Samsyn for the first time. It was not under great circumstances as Brooke and her family was brought to Arcadia for safe haven. She adored from afar while moving up the ranks as a warrior. He admired from afar, because he knew she deserved far better than him. When a mission brings them closer together, there is no stopping the connection between them. They are combustible! They are primal! They are like one! Nothing has changed for Samsyn, or so he thinks. Brooke can have his body, even his mind, but he can't give her his heart. What he didn't know was that he already gave it to her, the minute she stepped off that aircraft years ago.

"I was...gone. Everything was...you."

This is the type of romance that makes you feel all gooey inside. It warms your heart and soul, and brings a smile to your face. The character, primary and secondary alike, were amazing. The storyline was exciting. The sex scenes were explosive and down right naughty! The banter between the two made me laugh. Syn could be harsh at time, so gruff, and Brooke would just come in with her 'hey big guy' and I would just melt! I LOVED it! What an enjoyable read!

Review:
Into his Command from Angel Payne was a great 5 star read

This is Brooke and Samsyn’s story.
Brooke and her family are whisked away to the island of Arcadia to avoid terrorist’s that burned down their home. Brooke meets Samsyn and can feel an instant attraction between them.
“This draw he felt toward her...this pull of raw connection, fueled by fires he’d never experienced before. This...need...to get nearer to her, though not in any way that would harm her or frighten her”

We jump ahead six years, Brooke has joined the security team to try and get closer to Samsyn. She has been in love with him since the day she met him. When she is assigned to a mission involving Samsyn they can no longer fight their attraction and finally give into temptation and boy do they ever. Hot Hot Hot.

When they are forced to take their relationship a step further than friends with benefits will they be able to keep their hearts out of it? Brooke continues to try and get into Samsyn’s heart and head, trying to understand the beast underneath. Will she be able to help him?
He’s not your man. He won’t ever be.

Into his command was a thrilling, mysterious, sexual read. These two have such a connection. Brooke was a sassy strong willed woman who went for what she wanted no matter what. Syn always tried to keep her at arm's length, but couldn’t resist her temptations. The sex between these two was off the charts hot. There were also a couple of surprises I didn’t see coming. We do get to see a HEA for them however I feel like I could use a little more from them. I look forward to Shiraz and Nicasia’s story in “Into her fantasies”.

5.0 Star Review of Into His Command (The Cimarron Series Book 2) by Angel Payne
This is book 2 in Angel Payne’s exciting Cimarron Series and wow I LOVED this book. It is hot hot hot. I have a new book boyfriend. I fell in love as well as lust with Samsyn Cimarron, a true alpha, a take no prisoners’ male. From the moment Brooke Valen first set eyes on Syn, she wanted him, despite all she had recently been through.
The lust and attraction sizzling between them is obviously mutual, but Syn continues to be stubborn and although a fierce warrior, refuses to see what is so very obviously in front of him. Brooke on the other hand is not afraid to admit what she has known for years; that she loves SYN.
Forced to marry and rule Arcadia, due to circumstances, Syn and Brooke are helpless to resist the passion that ignites whenever they are together. Throw in unrequited love (didn’t see that coming) and wow what a story line. Can fate be so cruel as to bring these two together, only for duty and honour, to rip them apart?
This may be my favourite book written by Angel Payne to date. I was riveted from the first page to the last. I was so anxious to read that I read this book almost straight through. I couldn’t (and wouldn’t) put it down. I was so invested in Syn and Brooke getting their happily ever after that I just kept saying, just one more chapter.
Into His Command has it all, hot, spicy romance, deep abiding love (not only for the hero and heroine, but love of family), vulnerability, intrigue, conspiracy and action. It was also great to see a couple of old friends turn up to offer assistance. A welcome surprise and one that I hope means that there may
This book is an excellent example of Angel Payne’s talent and her wonderful writing. I really loved it and cannot wait to read more from this author. Well done, you have another winner on your hands.
If this series is not on your TBR list then I suggest that you add it immediately, you won’t be disappointed.

I read the first book in this series, Into His Dark a while ago. I really liked it and was waiting to read this book. When I first started reading it I had to go back and forth a little bit so I remembered the characters. So it was slow going for me at first, but once I remembered who I was reading about I really got into this book and could not put it down. I think the book can be read as a standalone, but I had read the first in the series and was glad I went back to reread it.

I LOVED both of the main characters. Samsyn is godlike. He's built, he's sexy, he's alpha, he's smart, and most of all he's perfect for Brooke. Brooke is also fit, sexy, strong, and smart. She's not a pushover. As a matter of fact she helps with the country's security.

Brooke first met Samsyn six years earlier when her family took refuge in the country of Arcadia. Samsyn convinced Brooke that she would be safe and that he would guarantee it. They were drawn to each other then, but Brooke was too young and Samsyn himself was only 21. Now 6 years have passed and the attraction has only grown stronger.

When there is a breach in the country's security, Samsyn and Brooke have to work together. The attraction that they've always felt explodes and the two come together.

Syn and Brooke are the perfect team. They like the same things and want the same things. Once Syn works past his trust issues nothing can stop them. A true mating and love story.

All of the brothers in this series are hot. I can't wait to read the next in this sexy series. I give Into His Command 4.5 Stars!

My first thoughts about Into His Dark (The Cimarron Series #1) by Angel Payne were, that it felt like something out ouf a fairytale. A little touch of mystery, a little Beauty and the Beast, adding a touch of Hollywood and all of this in the setting of an island. So yes this is a great summer holiday novel.

The second book in that series confirmed that feeling so I can still keep my thoughts alive here.

Think the opulence of historical romance but its contemporary (even if you sometimes wonder how that can be – given the storyline). Think Wizzard of Oz without the red shoes. Think Phantom of the Opera without the music. Gosh I have so many thoughts swirling in my mind. This is such a different book from others. I would not even know with what kind of novel to compare it.


In any normal case I might have been annoyed with the slow pace and writing style but with this storyline it worked beautifully

Still this book could not capture me in the way that the first one did... but I think this is only due to the fact that by now this magical island became more real.

I enjoyed the second book in the Cimarron Series. Samsyn the hero was definitely a force to be reckoned with. The connection between him and the heroine Brooke dazzled me. Angel Payne has a unique and quirky way with words that I find refreshing in this modern day fairytale. I have fallen in love with the Cimarron Royals and look forward to reading all of their delectably sexy tales!

"Into His Command is filled with the sweetest anticipation and explosive carnal desires. Definitely a wicked hot read."

3.5

With the cover of the book, the title, and past enjoyable reading experiences with the author I expected much more BDSM than was given. It was a nice enough book, but definitely not on par from what I've read of this talented author- and I've read quite a few of hers.

Brooke has been in love with Syn since she first arrived on the island and when she is hurt protecting defend the Kingdom he can no longer keep his feelings at bay. Seeing what happened within his own family he wants to keep Brooke at arm’s length, but can he? This is a fast paced action packed read and the sex is off the charts steamy. Great story and wonderful read. Loved it!

I can't get enough of this series! I knew Syn was going to live up to his name, and Into His Command is a wonderful return to the island of Arcadia with the Cimarron royal family. Prince Samsyn made me swoon, and I wanted to go back to re-read this book as soon as I finished it.

As the commander of Arcadia's military forces, Syn is laser focused on the safety of his people, especially his brother King Evrest and his fiancée Cam who we met in Into His Dark. He doesn't believe he can have a relationship without being unacceptably distracted from his duties, and he lost his positive outlook on love and faithful commitment years ago anyway with the catalyst for it hardening his heart toward love permanently afterward. He doesn't take the time for anything more than a passing fling of convenience to satisfy physical needs, sticking to one night stands who meet a specific set of physical attributes that are basically the polar opposite of one Brooke Valen. The blonde haired pixie with starlight in her eyes fired every protective instinct he possessed at his first sight of her and has haunted his dreams since she set foot on his island 6 years ago seeking refuge from a terrorist hell bent on killing her and her family. Even terrified and tear stained, her beauty was overshadowed only by her inner strength and fierce wit in the face of danger.

From her first glimpse of the imposing Prince Samsyn, Brooke felt compelled by this dark knight with his amazing blue eyes and warrior's stature who went out of his way to ensure she felt safe on an airport runway in the middle of the night on his 21st birthday. Now 6 years later, she is no less taken by him, and although she seems to have a unique connection with him, he has never once showed an interest in her as a woman - until one little slip changes everything and facilitates the gradual destruction of the walls between them. He can make her burn with just a look on the rare occasion he lets his guard down, but he is finally reaching the breaking point of his control and she is all too willing to give him a push off the edge of the cliff even if she can only have one night.

So what if it is one mind blowing night that shakes both of them and causes their sparks to turn into a full blown raging inferno? Syn is a stubborn man with some serious trust issues and deep rooted convictions on the subject of love and emotional attachments, but Brooke is just as fiercely determined to change his mind. She sees the amazing man beneath the warrior's armor when others don't - including Samsyn himself sometimes.

Of course he fights her tooth and nail, but her fellow warriors nicknamed her the Badger for a reason. Piece by piece, she starts to tear down the walls around his heart, walking a proverbial tightrope in the process. Whenever they touch, they are downright combustible and his sinfully yummy desires are more than matched by Brooke, but it only serves to confuse Syn's jumbled emotions even more in the aftermath causing him to lash out.

When the royal family is targeted by a shadowy enemy, both Brooke and Syn have to jump into action. Brooke's injury in the fray causes Syn to face his feelings head on whether he is ready or not, and when his brother's proposition for a quick resolution puts Syn's life into more of a tailspin, it’s a bumpy ride to the finish line but with some of the hottest moments of the story. And did I mention it was HOT??? OK, just wanted to be sure you got that! Adversity comes at them from both trusted friends and external enemies, and Syn's continued inability to fully trust her pushes Brooke to take a drastic step to prove herself to him. It places her directly in danger instead and causes Syn to own up to the reality of his feelings even as fear for her safety slams into him. Will it be too little too late?

Into His Command is a wild ride ranging from sensual to frustrating to heart (and panty) melting mixed with a little mystery and danger. I loved both these characters for their fire and obvious connection with each other, and Brooke's humor infused with American references amused me even as it confounded Samsyn from time to time. Familiar faces fill the pages too as we get more of Cam and Ev as well as a few unexpected appearances from one of Angel's other series! I am so looking forward to learning more about Prince Shiraz and Princess Jayd, and after some of his comments in this book, I can't wait to see Shiraz go down like a domino when the right woman knocks him on his butt!

Quotes that stuck with me:

Samsyn… was different. Beyond different. He was the dream. The Pegasus. The dragon on the mountain. The man who’d never be connected to me like that, in spite of my constant pleas to fate for the miracle. Impossible.

“You cannot have my damn heart, Brooke. No one can. I am the commander of all the warriors of Arcadia. I am not allowed to have a fucking heart!”

“I have never met anyone like you, Brooke Valen. Nobody brighter, bolder, cleverer, smarter… yes, even on that night when you first stepped off the plane, so terrified yet so full of fire. Tossing your bright, choppy hair, calling me ‘big guy’—”
“You like it when I call you that.”
“I like it when you call me
anything.”

It was heady, having this power over him. A little scary— like walking a dragon on a leash.
Until the dragon snapped the chain. And decided to breathe fire.

Into His Command

Holy cow, what an author - intense & passionate love story! The Cimarron brothers are all hot, sexy passionate men; but Samsyn’s fall into love is the hardest. A tough warrior of the island, he has no thoughts of love in his life and believes his brothers “true love” is still only a fairytale - never happening for him!! That is until Brooke enters his life! When she is injured helping to defend the kingdom he starts to pay attention and gives into his desire for her. But can what Brooke and Syn share be enough to tame him to become a one woman man?? Brookes not so certain and even the author keeps you guessing until the end!! Loved their story!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Into His Command is Book Two of Angel Payne’s The Cimarron Series. I loved this book even more than its predecessor, Into His Dark, and I didn’t think that was possible. Angst and action? Ohhhhhh yeah. A massive warrior, commander, and prince, and a beautiful and seemingly delicate though immensely strong and tough American seeking refuge in Arcadia? Wowza.
Brooke Valen is a young woman who has experienced terror in her life, through no fault of her own. She finds herself in seclusion on Arcadia due to a terrorist threat to her family. She becomes a trained Arcadian warrior. She becomes hopelessly in love with the first Arcadian she meets once she lands in Arcadia, Prince Samsyn Cimarron.
Prince Samsyn Cimarron is the second son of Arcadia’s king father. Samsyn, or Syn as he’s called by those close to him, is the commander of the Arcadian military and the head of royal security. He is a man with the burden of familial secrets that force him to deny that love, much less true love, exists.
Will a woman hopelessly in love with a man who doesn’t even believe in love ever find her happy ever after? It is a book with HEA, but the journey to get there is one that you have to read to truly understand how it happens. I loved this story so much that I am struggling to keep from giving more away and sharing my favorite parts.
Brooke and Samsyn are thrown together due to a high security job. Little do they know just how bad it would get. For me, it was bad enough to have me muttering, “No, no, no, this is not happening!” Then, “Oh my God!”
Brooke is one seriously tough cookie. Many women shy away from difficult things. I don’t blame them. However, Brooke is one that takes difficult things and makes them seem like it’s all in a day’s work. I would like to think Brooke and I have a lot in common. She’s definitely one woman that I would stride into a fight with side by side. While I like to protect others, she’s one that I could enjoy a good fight with. Sounds weird, I know. Brooke doesn’t back down and always thinks of others first. My kind of woman.
Samsyn is a very conflicted man. I believe that the heart that he denies that he has causes him to treat and react to Brooke very differently. It isn’t just pure lust that brings him back to her time and again. It truly is his heart. To see what I mean, read the book! There were several times that I wanted to reach in and just knock him upside his head as much as I wanted to hug him. As expected, Samsyn is an alpha male (Gah! I love alpha males!) and is possessive. I love that. No, really, I love that!
I really and thoroughly loved reading Into His Command! It is definitely on my re-read list. This particular book had my heart racing in several different scenes, breaking in a few of them, and finally sighing in contentment. From beginning to end, it was hot, hot, hot! Thank you Angel Payne for another fantastic story!
Readers, if you are seeing this and have not read Into His Command yet, go and get it now! I promise that you will love it!

I actually liked the second book more than the first one in the series. Samsyn was dark and you understand his trust issues. Brooke amazingly stands by his side throughout the book. I love how the series is linked to the WILD Boys series. I had to put the book down a few times frustrated with Samsyn, however, that is one of the reasons this book is so amazing. Samsyn and Brooke drew me so much more into the series than the first book, Into His Dark, with the charachters of Evrest and Cam.

The book is one crazy ride from start to finish and extremely hard to put down unless extremely mad or frustrated with Samsyn and wanting to throw your tablet. This is a book with an HEA and one that is very well earned. I can not wait for the next in the Cimarroon series. This has become one of my favorites written by Angel Payne!

Samsyn Cimmaron has to be the hottest Prince/Warrior I have come across in a while. Brooke is in hiding with her family and one of Arcadia's fierce soldiers who wants nothing more than to serve beside Samsyn and melt under him. These two soldiers must fight hard together to save their King and his future Queen from the radicals who would see them all dead because they don't like the changes coming to Arcadia. All the while they battle against but then give in to their fiery passions.

I loved how this story built up in terms of the relationship between Brooke and Syn as well as the drama unfolding behind the scenes. There is a jaw-dropping encounter with the Royal parents and more surprising encounters after. The ghost from the past is climatic!

I adore this Royal family and will continue to follow their exploits.

Prince Samsyn, second to the throne, is a warrior. Trained to defend his country against all dangers, but his own dark fears will be his biggest challenge. Brooke and her family fled to the island for sanctuary and Arcadia is now her home. Also dedicated and determined to provide safety for her adopted country, her own comfort resides with Samsyn. If only she can break past his walls and conquer his dark dragons.

Samsyn and Brooke's passion and desire for each other explodes with the force of a volcano, but can they survive the burning heat?

"It is necessary...because you are necessary." Just as it is necessary for any romance reader to want this book!

Ahhhh! Yet another amazing book by the very talented Angel Payne. I absolutely loved Samsyn and Brooke's story. I love how they were friends first and it took a lot of fight on both of their ends to finally be together. Their connection and chemistry are both unmistakable. I loved all of the danger and excitement this story brought. It definitely had me turning the pages dieing to know what happened next. And the Epilogue was absolutely one of my favorites ever.

The beginning was good and quite intriguing, and the ending was great...my challenge was the middle 1/3 to dare I say the next 50%....a real struggle for me.
Over complicated plot line and way too many supporting characters, that I began to lose interest in Brooke and Samsyn and just started to look forward to the ending. The author is a talented writer and has a knack for snarky humor and sarcasm, creating banter between the h and H, but for me...this book did not meet its potential. Book 1 set the bar high...it was fantastic!

Story good but issues with the book

I really enjoyed the characters and the story overall. I got into the Cimarron saga after reading the Honor Bound series. I got pulled into the drama of this book but was really disappointed with the issue of the book when chapter 16 and 17 were exactly the same. There is a part of the story line missing and then suddenly you have to pick it back up. I wanted to rate this higher but can't because of the technical problems.

Good

This book was good. Unfortunately chapters 16 &17 were the same word for word. When chapter 18 started I noticed I missed a something.

I was so excited to start Into His Command, the second book in the Cimarron series. I loved the previous book and wished that the island was real so I could take in its beauty for my very own and experience it firsthand. This author is an author I have a high standard for because I know what amazing writing she is capable of. Into His Command didn’t meet my expectations, it exceeded it! This is a beautiful, sexy, emotional, action filled story that will have you on the edge of your seat one minute, so in tune to the story line that you can’t help but wish for not only Brooke and Syn to get their happily ever after, but that all the characters will in the next. I still want to visit this beautifully described island, even if only in my dreams. Please make sure you have read book one, Into His Dark that you read it before starting Into His Command so that you can full appreciate the setting and circumstances that take place in this book.

The connection and chemistry between Brooke and Syn started from the very moment Syn laid eyes on his “star”, but the one thing he can’t give anyone, even Brooke, is his heart. Brooke has always been Syn’s even if he doesn’t know it, his family has not only protected her but he has made her a warrior as well. The way that Ms. Payne brings these two together makes you worry if it will all work out, that if Syn can wish upon his star and find real love and if Brooke can get her warrior to see her finally as she wants him to see her.

I plan on starting to stalk, I mean watch Ms. Payne’s accounts for updates when we will get the next book in this series, okay so maybe I already am but am trying really hard not to bug her about it. Which may last as long as it takes me to finish typing this review, ha. Seriously though, I love the way that Ms. Payne has created this beautiful world, the characters that feel like people we could all someday meet in real life, and the emotions that she is able to draw out from within her readers while they are experiencing it for the first time. I recommend you read this series as well as all of her other books, you won’t be disappointed.

Hot, action packed, passion, and two broken character's make this FIVE star read a page turner. Into his Command is the second book in the Cimarron Series by Angel Payne. Angels writing in this book is utterly amazing. Written in the first person, truly connecting you to Brooke Valen, a main character in the book. Explosive amazing sex scenes that will leave you bothered and enough violence to keep this strong story intriguing.

Needing to be protected and hidden Samsyn Cimarron, the leader of the Arcadian army and protector of the royal family, brings Brooke Valen to Arcadia. Over the years Brooke has trained to be a warrior all while fighting the attraction to Samsyn. Finally, one fateful day, they both stop fighting the feelings they both have into a night of explosive sex. While Brooke wants it all, Samsyn truly can only give her one thing she desires, them together only in bed. Hurt by his families lack of staying faithful, Samsyn doesn’t trust anyone or let anyone in. Someone is out to hurt and destroy the Royal family, leading Samsyn to act as king of Arcadia and needing a wife to help, Brooke and him married. Brooke loves Samsyn deeply and whole heartily but breaking Samsyns walls has proven to not be an easy task. When tragedy strikes, Samsyn wakes up and finally realizes just what he stands to lose.

Angel Payne has done it again, two tainted souls, strong warriors, brought together in such a raw connection. Angel draws you in with a journey of demons, deep emotion's, that is felt with every word, every sexual encounter that you will be left touched in many ways. This story will make you sad, make you angry, make you sigh, make you laugh, and overall make you fall more in love with Arcadia and the royal family. Angel Payne’s books are stories to get lost in, draws you in with character's you can attach yourself too and not want to let go, she again has outdone herself yet again. Sit back and enjoy the ride of Brooke, Samsyn, and the Royal Family. I promise you will not be disappointed.
