YES! This was the much anticipated second book to Aryn’s Desire after the way that book ended… I was in neeeeeeed of Caden’s story.
If you loved Aryn’s Desire as much as I did then you already are in love with Caden, this book will make you swoon after him. He is as mysterious and Dom like as ever. I love the way he loves Aryn it is plain to see. Gives me all the warm fuzzies.
This book was everything I was hoping for but for one small thing; I didn’t feel like Aryn was as strong a character as he was from book 1. I almost felt like we were missing the manliness of Aryn. I don’t know I think the reason I liked Aryn so much was because you have this Body Guard who can and will kick serious butt when needed. And he was finally learning his true self. It’s not to say it wasn’t Aryn, I don’t know I just felt like I missed who Aryn was from the first book. I felt a disconnect and I didn’t like that made my heart hurt.
When the boys are in a scene together you see the love and affection they have for one another. I also liked getting the glimpse into who and what happened to Caden and why he is so closed off. You can’t help but want to give him a big ole hug because he is just that lovable.
That epilogue ooo-wee it was fantastic. I am a huge fan of Ashley from book 1 so to get a little bit of her I was fist pumping the air! Ha I am looking forward to more, more, more.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*
For me this was better than book 1 .. Aryn & Caden finally let their hearts do the talking and a relationship beyond D/s begins to flourish. Perhaps the writing style didn't quite work for me - I liked this book but didn't love it.
Fabulously sensual journey for Aryn as he embraces submission with Caden. It is also a beautiful journey for two men that weren’t looking for love, yet found it. Caden’s journey is almost more amazing, he has kept all his subs at arms-length, only allowing interactions at the club. We finally get to peel back his layers to find out where his pain comes from. At the same time, Aryn has to face his past with his broken family and realize that families don’t have to be blood related. I don’t typical read m/m romances so this was a departure for me that I was really glad I took. The love and passion that I experienced with this story blew me away. Absolutely beautiful. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Because I read the first book over a year ago, I had to skim it again before I started this one. This D/s, BDSM, MM story did not disappoint. Master Caden and Aryn had a strong connection from the start and the sex was so hot!
I felt like some important parts were glossed over. The epilogue wasn't totally resolved so I'm guessing there will be another story, probably about Ashley (female side character).
This was a great ending to this duet. We learn the ups and downs of trying to have a relationship when you're in different places in the world.physically.
When Aryan hears about. Caden's past. He fills like.he can never fill those shoes. Watching these two navigate the rollercoaster ride of emotions that their relationship indures.
This book is full of emotion, angst and steamy romance. It's a great well written story that will grab a hold of you and leave you wanting more. It's an enjoyable read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Jesus. H Money.. Aryn's Desire and Caden's Command were the two books I've been waiting for. Once I've read Aryn, I was wanting Caden just as fast. Now I have Caden, I want MORE!!! Yes More. I love their story more than I can even explain. This was something I thought was going to shatter me, it DID NOT! This story really touched me, and now that I'm done reading it, I want more of these two.
I refuse to write about the story, that is your job to read it. I promise you, it's all worth it. Zoey did not disappoint when it came to these two men. I think I fell in love with Aryn a little more, and Master Caden a lot more. These two make you want to believe in love all over again. To give yourself completely to someone, and hope and pray they feel the same way towards you. These two have won my heart all over again. They've both been through hell and back, and fight their pasts to be together.
I'm just a little upset at the ending, but that's just me.. Awesome Work Zoey!!
Caden´s Command by Zoey Derrick is, after Aryn´s Desire- book one; the second installment in the Finding Submission Duet. Caden´s Command picks up where Aryn´s Desire ends. Aryn Becker has his mind made up and made a decision. He submitted to Caden Mitchell, a man he has deep feelings for. Caden is über- happy with Aryn´s decision. Everything could be sunshine and roses, but it isn´t. Aryn is lonely and doubt starts to niggle. And there is Caden. He has a secret of his own. A secret that could destroy their new relationship. In Caden´s Command you will meet old friends and new acquaintances. I loved reading about the other characters who make a appearance. I loved the writing and I loved the characters. I laughed , I cried and I hurt with them. And I was so so happy that they get their well deserved HEA. Everytime I read a Zoey Derrick book, I think :This is it. It can´t get better. And everytime she does it, she tops the last one. I love love love her books. 5 Stars and Thank you Zoey Derrick!!
Caden's Command - Book #2 Finding Submission - Zoey Derrick
4 1/2 Smokin Hot Stars
Zoey Derrick has made us wait for this second book for Aryn and Caden's blossoming relationship but boy, it was worth the wait.
She has absolutely nailed the emotional roller coaster of their relationship, providing the reader with so much angst and love and emotion.
Aryn and Caden's characters are beautifully complex with their situation and history both individually and shared, adding to this complexity. The addition of familiar characters from Zoey's other series, tying the story together very neatly and adding an additional layer to the story.
I'm so glad that Zoey has given Aryn and Caden this outlet for their story but I look forward to another book with them. Not a traditional love story by any means but definitely a typically non traditional Zoey Derrick Love Story.
This is a M/M book and may not be YOUR genre, If you have an open mind you will see past the genre and see a true love story that takes us beyond gender and into the HEART of the matter!!! Caden's Command starts right where Aryn's Desire leaves us. I Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED This book and was sad to see the end of this duet, but I have a feeling that this isn't the last we will hear from Caden and Aryn . I enjoyed the camaraderie of ALL of the characters, you get a real sense of belonging and what the true meaning of family doesn't always mean that you NEED to be blood related. I usually don't typically read strictly M/M stories, but Zoey Derrick takes this genre to an entirely different level, the bottom line is....... LOVE, TRUST, COMMUNICATION!! Regardless of the gender those 3 things are the utmost important things to have in a relationship!! I can't wait to see what is next for these friends!!!
Oh WOW! Caden’s Command is the 2nd book about Aryn and Caden and… just … WOW! This couple is awesome. The emotion, angst, the discoveries, passion, heart-healing love - this book has it all! Fair warning - this is M/M romance with BDSM scenes.
Have you ever read a book and the words just seemed to fly off the page? You couldn’t stop reading because there was just too much in every page? And then you get to the end, and you’re like “Damn it, it’s over?” Well, Caden’s Command is that type of story.
Zoey Derrick knows how to pull you in, hold you tight, and get right inside your head and your heart! The writing, as always, is stellar and the sex - holy crap, the sex is scorchingly HOT! But above all else, this is a love story about 2 people who can be themselves through honesty, truth, and all the amazing ‘feels’ that come with finding your ‘One’.
So very good Zoey! And I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Well, Zoey Derrick has done it again. My new favorite quote is "You Shatter me" Wow! Aryn and Caden are so hot together. The connection between them is everything I hoped for and their story is just, well, hot! This story is well written, sensuous, and simply amazing. I feel like I know These guys so much better and that I was there when the love affair began makes it so much more special to see it grow. These men are each exactly what the other needed in life and in love. Aryn is a new breed of man. The strong, submissive type, and Caden is the master with a plan and watching this love unfold has been my absolute pleasure. The Bold security family and extended family round out the story and the return of some of my favorites like Cotah and Will just made it so much fun to read. I waited a long time for the conclusion of this story, and it did not disappoint.
Here's the thing..I absolutely love Aryn's desire and desperately wanted more of Aryn and Caden. This book is one of one man submitting himself to his master for the rest of his life. It's beautiful to watch their relationship grow in and out of the bedroom. While they know what works for them,it doesn't stop the loneliness to set in. Caden is gone a lot. But with the help of amazing friends, Aryn is able to keep busy. They open up with each other about their pasts and I swear it brings them so much closer. If you love a true M\M Dom\sub relationship then seriously pick up these books. Aryn and Caden are just incredible together! I could talk about them all day long and never tire of them. Its sad to see them go but if I know Zoey, she'll bring them back again in another story.
I've been looking forward for this book for a while. Zoey did not disappoint. I did not want to put this book down when I picked it up, even thought I had to when I went to work. I instantly picked it up on my lunch to continue reading. I had to know how Caden and Aryn got along, how they were doing, WHAT they were doing. Caden was 100% surprised when Aryn showed up at the club and surprised him by getting in the submissive position. The descriptive words made me feel like I was there ….and I so wished I was Ashley…..I really do….. This book is 100% hot….. While this has a happily ever ending ….. I did not want this to end I need more and I need it now! :D
Yep... Ladies keep some extra panties and your other half close by...because your going to need them both. I promise you that! Caden and Ayrn will rock your world! This book intensely sexy and hot as hell! Caden and Ayrn chemistry was off the chart. This book got me from beginning to end. It had everything you need... a sexy dominet and willing submissive. I couldn't put this book down and didn't want it to ever end. I have been a fan of Zoey's since Bottle 69... How can you not be ... she gets you hooked like an addicted! Her books are the best kind of Addiction. I highly recommend any of her books. I am in love with Caden and Ayrn love story! You will to!
Who would've thought that this M/M BDSM thing can still be so sexy! This is a new perspective for me and I'm glad that I get to experience it first with Ms. Derrick's characters, because it made me want to read more. Do I wish it could've ended differently, yes, of course. But, I still think this is a well-written story with lots of feelings.
Hot!! This book was an amazing follow up to Aryn's Desire. Aryn finally figures out what he wants & goes after it. Caden accepts Aryn into his life. There is so much that happens in this book. They creat a relationship that morphs into so much more. Love their story they are a very sexy erotic read!! I sure hope there is more to this story by the end created so many more questions!!
I went into this book with an open mind and lots of anticipation.
I found myself intrigued and in love with both characters. Caden and Aryn come from different backgrounds which also adds a nice layer to a story. Now add in the D/s relationship along with secrets it becomes hard to put down. Their story was intense and it warmed my heart if I were to be honest. To overcome so much and to find true love along the way is rare. I found myself a bit bothered by my mixed feelings for Aryn. His job was all alpha and yet he had to find a way to completely submit to Caden in order to keep him. I felt this was a hard point for a man with his type of job and past yet he was willing to attempt to do what was needed to be with Caden. I think that kind of bothered me yet once I looked past that small point, I was drawn so deeply into their story that it didn't even matter. I know we all give up a part of ourselves for love yet in turn we get so much more but still it felt like it was a big part of Aryn to give up. I guess in reality he didn't completely give it all up. Yes, I know that's confusing so read the book to understand where I'm coming from.
Everything about this story was captivating. Their relationship, the tight circle of friends who became family. Everything drew me in deeper and made you feel like your were there with these characters watching it play out before your eyes.
The author did a wonderful job of describing the details and I was sad when it ended. But.....I think there may be an added story somewhere down the line. At least I'm really hoping there is after the final words were read. A great book that has so much to offer. I look forward to reading much more from this author.
Holy S*?! This book was freakin HoT! These guys have you have you begging for more! More Love, More devotion, More passion MORE MORE MORE of everything!!
Aryn and Caden are the ultimate couple. Through love and strength for and from each other they find a way for true happiness, sense of belonging, a home.
This is a remarkable story. Aryn has been alone for so long and when he finally accepts his belonging his home is with Caden. But can Caden truly be the Master, his lover, his home when he has a past that he can not let go of and be happy with another? Can Aryn and Caden mend each others broken hearts and find true happiness?
Yes they can and it's absolutely beautiful and absolutely panting melting hot! Must read of 2017! Zoey Derrick has left me hanging and begging for more!
Loved loved loved this book. The long awaited sequel to Aryn's Desire is here. I couldn't put it down I read this book in one sitting it was that good a definitely must read
I love Zoey's books so much so this did not disappoint! I feel in love with Aryn previously and now that he has decided what he truly wants it's hard not to fall more in love with him! We find out why Caden is so closed off in this story. Their D/s relationship isn't 24/7 and that really made me happy sometimes I find that too much for me personally when reading! There's an amazing Epilogue that includes Ashley which I was totally over the moon about...Zoey any chance we could have more of that in another book? Maybe a Novella?
Now don't panic if you haven't read book 1. You can easily follow the storyline without issue. But be warned, this book is not for everyone especially if your not into M/M.
Declaring he is ready for the next step, Aryn finds himself in a room full of people he trusts handing himself over to the one person who he cannot stop thinking about.
This story takes you on a journey of a Sub and Dom finding their rightful place in their unconventional relationship. Money and power is the only thing that maybe their undoing.
I enjoyed this book even though it's not normally something I read and I believe it had a lot to do with the author not making this story a corny read. I never felt the need to skip over pages because scenes seemed s little cringe worthy. I think I might just go back and read the first book in this series.
Passion, acceptance and submission. Aryn has given his heart over to Caden, open wide for him to accept and hold dear. Will Caden open up for Aryn as well? Will his submission be the only way they can have a relationship? Aryn wants more, does Caden? This story is about so much more than just sexy times together, no this is about the giving of hearts. Acceptance of their pasts and moving forward to a shared future. I loved how open and vulnerable Aryn made himself for Caden. Showing him just how much he trusts him, the ultimate submission. Better yet the way that Caden submits to Aryn, by having more than what he proposed to begin with. Sexy, passionate, sweet and romantic a beautiful story of love.
I started this book very wary - I'm not usually a fan of MM books but gave it a chance. I was a little lost in the references to book 1 but that didn't impact much. Most of the detail is on the sex/BDSM scenes and some of the bigger things are glossed over but overall wasn't a bad read.
This book is a follow up to Aryn’s Desire and focuses on Caden and Aryn’s relationship as Aryn gives in completely to Caden and their relationship grows. This was a good book and I enjoyed reading about their relationship progressing however I didn’t like the big skips in time. It seemed like there wasn’t any real issues in the book which isn’t a bad thing but the book didn’t draw me in as much as the first one. I would have loved to read more about Ashley’s involvement. I think that could have made the book even hotter. Overall, I’m still a huge fan of Zoey’s and she sure knows how to write the steamy sex scenes.
The continued story of Aryn and Caden will have your heart melting for two men that can't find there was after each has a tragic story to tell... What an amazing story of two men that didn't know what they wanted in life but when they meet each other just a hand shake can make the sparks fly but still not understand what it means..since they were bit heterosexual ..
Friends Family and Lovers can help each other to see your way through life but when you loose the love of your life you never think you will find it again. The chemistry between these two individuals make you think what you might have and is it enough. But when you add a woman into the mix that is just friends can she help them in ways they never thought possible and maybe more help for her to which they don't even know about ..
Can't wait for more to see what happens with these three .. Doms and Subs .. it is so exciting to step out of the box with them ALL !!
I thought Aryn's Desire was amazing but Caden's Command is a hundred times better. So emotional and heart wrenching. I just got so enthralled by it.
It opens your eyes to Aryn's submission and what really happens to Subs and Doms during play sessions and what comes after. It really is an amazing read.
Zoey Derrick really outdid herself in this novel. She had me in tears at the ending. It tugged at my heart strings all that Caden and Aryn went through together.
This was the perfect ending for these two books. A must read for anyone that loves the romantic BDSM genre.
I don't normally do make on male type of books but can zoey hit it out of the park. are Camden and Beck gay yes but they click. I really hope they draw Ashley in permanently for a triad. She loves Caden so much and roughly I think she has the same feelings for Beck but just don't know it. Glad she is having there baby. Love anything by Zoey. Thanks for another great read.
