Under His Command: A Firefighter Romance (Six-Alarm Sexy Book 1)

The one thing Jamie is sure of - He doesn't want to her to call him Master or wear his collar. He wants a partner in life and her to be submissive only during play times.

Boss Romance - Boss #6

A month later, she turns up on his doorstep pregnant. Jamie is sure that he has ruined her life but is determined to do the right thing. Erica is sure that she has ruined his life but has no one else to turn to for help. So there are both feeling more than a bit guilty which leads to Now they are finally on their honeymoon in Hawaii. These two are the poster children for angsty relationships.

Under His Command

Fortunately, though, it turns out that Jamie was wrong about her feelings toward the night she met. She actually enjoyed being blindfolded while he got down to business. And she is ready for more. I would rate this a three if we had to live through the 5 miserable years but since we got to skip to the end I can be slightly generous.

Plus the actual play scenes were well done - especially the Fire Play. View all 6 comments. Jun 07, Talltree rated it really liked it Shelves: Dec 08, Sheryl marked it as to-read. Thank you sooooooo much Kristine!!!! Yes, this book does have BDSM as it's major content, but it is more than that. This book was mainly about the trust issues in the main character's marriage and working through that issue with the BDSM. I considered the BDSM very light. Jamie and Erica were introduced in the prequel to this book Romance in the Rain.

I recommend reading that book first. He has been separated from his wife who wants a divorce. He has been putting off signing the papers cause he doesn't want to lose his daughter. Erica suffers from a lot of issues from her childhood and w Scorching, hot look at a man introducing his wife to BDSM and his full Dom side.

Erica suffers from a lot of issues from her childhood and while Jamie was away for an humanitarian mission her insecurities got the better of her and she decided to start not needing Jamie anymore and basically pushed him away when he got back even though she laid the blame on him. After a large earthquake rocks Seattle, Erica and their daughter Chloe are trapped in a building. The majority of this book is Jamie and his team trying to rescue them. We get to find out what went wrong in there marriage and see that deep down they really both still love each other. This book picks up after Jamie has moved back in with his wife and daughter but things still aren't going so well.

Jamie is still walking on egg shells around Erica and scared to initiate the kind of sex he wants to have with her. The two of them cannot communicate and when they try he misunderstands everything she is trying to say. After talking with his mother she makes him realize that in his bid to make his wife happy he has sacrificed his own happiness. He has always felt sense of guilt since he got her pregnant at 21 and they had to get married and she gave up her goals for becoming a lawyer but he got to continue on with his dream of becoming a firefighter.

Jamie decides they need to take the honeymoon they never got to take five years ago. He also decides he needs to come clean about who is really is. Before he met her he was a full fledged Dom and had many subs. He isnt looking for a slave or even a full time sub in his wife but he does want her submission in the bedroom but he is afraid she is to prim and proper to accept this side of him. What Jamie didnt know is Erica loved there first time together when he was all rough and in Dom mode even though she didnt know he was a Dom at the time but since that first night when she got pregnant he's treated her like glass.

Between that and her fear she would become a door mat like her mother she pushed him away. On there honeymoon they finally come clean with each other and when she tell him that she likes his rougher side his response was so funny - "If that first time was so special, why did you nun-up every time I got a little demanding with you? Many hot scenes between these two. They still have some trust issues to work out but through the BDSM they both grow even more in love with each other. This was a great start to a new erotic series. I cant wait to read future stories - especially Dani and Williams story.

Dec 17, Cocktails and Books rated it it was amazing Shelves: I don't know what I can say about this book that will due it justice, at least in my eyes. But I will tell you this Kristine Cayne has managed to jump into the erotic romance realm with a couple that are scorching hot, but still have the complex, emotional relationship I've come to love in the stories she writes. Jamie Caldwell is desperate to put his family back together. He thought he lost Erica, but an earthquake managed to make them both realize they were still desperate for one another. W I don't know what I can say about this book that will due it justice, at least in my eyes.

What they didn't have was complete honestly and trust. To try and get that back, they leave for the Hawaiian islands, hoping that week will help them reconnect and get their relationship back on track. We had a Dom that was willing to push that part of himself aside and be the kind of husband his thought his wife wanted. Then we have the uber controlling sub, who doesn't know she's a sub. It's a little confusing and it's that confusing the makes you instantly love Jamie and Erica.

And they don't talk to each other. It's only after they start talking, about everything, that they are able to finally start talking about their sex life and letting those secret parts of themselves come out. And when those parts comes out I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the complex relationship between Jamie and Erica. They were perfectly imperfect and had me devouring this book in a couple of hours. I will now anxiously await the next book in the series, hoping I won't have to wait too long.

Jan 25, Dawn rated it liked it. Okay, Here is what I liked about this book I loved the first chapter that told how they got together. I loved that this erotic book did not rotate around a wealthy man with mommy issues, but rather a firefighter. I loved that Jamie and Rickie were loyal to each other--no cheating even during their separation. I loved that each took responsibility for the problems in their marriage.

I loved that both wanted to do whatever it took to make their marriage and family work.

Under His Command: A Firefighter Romance - Six-Alarm Sexy #1

Okay, Here is what I didn't like They do not know each other. At all, so it seems in reading this book. They got married because she was pregnant, but it's not clear if they ever really even dated prior to getting married. They have a one-night stand, a couple months later she realizes she's pregnant and goes knocking on his door, then they get married. Nice he stepped up and nice that she didn't keep the pregnancy from him, but really??? And then their marriage problems are solved by developing trust that allows them to have the BDSM lifestyle.

So I got that the sex, trust and communication were very important in helping their marriage, but I would have liked to see what happened once they got back to normal life with work and their daughter. Could what they had on their "honeymoon" in Hawaii carry over into their everyday life? Feb 01, Wren [t he y] rated it really liked it Shelves: Jamie and Erica's relationship started on the day of their supposed one-night stand.

After Erica gets pregnant, they marry. Unfortunately, they don't connect during the course of their marriage as deeply as they did on that fateful night Now, they have decided to go on a long-awaited honeymoon in hopes of reviving their marriage and spicing up their sex life. But will Erica and Jamie be able to pull through five years worth of feeli Jamie and Erica's relationship started on the day of their supposed one-night stand. But will Erica and Jamie be able to pull through five years worth of feelings and frustrations? I was surprised by this book.

The writing was smooth and appeared to be well thought through, and the author succeeded in making the readers care for the characters. The plot was slower paced and relaxed, yet the climax completely changed the mood of the book for a chapter or so, which I both appreciated yet felt slightly annoyed about because I was enjoying the more playful aspects of the story.

The erotic scenes were almost perfect and they introduced me to new ideas and practices I didn't even know existed. I found that this novel was not cheesy or superficial because beyond the erotica aspect of it, the underlying story pulled the reader into the minds, hearts, and even bodies of the characters. I recommend this novel to readers craving a sexy erotic story with a meaningful plot and likeable characters.

Dec 08, Lorraine Versini rated it it was amazing. I just love Kristine Cayne. As soon as this baby came out, I just had read it. And once again she doesn't disappoint: You get it all. The personnality, the love, the insecurities, the romance, the passion, the doubts. Then there's sex, sex, sex. And it reads like you're just watching it. And now I want to go to Hawaii, because of the way the landscape is desc Okay. And now I want to go to Hawaii, because of the way the landscape is described. But what really hit me in this read, is just how fab she is with the whole series thing.

I already knew that from the Deadly Vices novels, but once again, you just get the whole "series" feeling here, and I just love it. I was happily thrown back to Romance in the Rain Six Seattle Novellas and Aftershocks among others , and I loved the hints as to what might come next in the series. It's building the anticipation already!! Kristine certainly knows how to keep a reader hooked!

Breakout the fire hoses and sound the alarm!! Hello, Fire Play, nice to meet you! That was a new and exciting scene! I went in to this book thinking it would be all fantastically smutty and meaningless but it actually had a pretty good story to go along with the hotness!

Great series and love the characters!!! At first I couldn't understand the disconnect and lack of knowledge between this couple; however, the more I thought about it, I think this is a commonality between most couples!! I personally don't see fire play as erotic but, then I've never experienced it either. But it didn't do anything for me. Nov 23, Dana Mason rated it it was amazing Shelves: Finished in just a few days. Kristine is great with setting and description. I was constantly reminded of my own trip to Hawaii while reading this. I could almost feel the sun and the breeze on this very cold January day.

It's a sexy book.

Not raunchy or over done, but romantic and sensual. Love the characters, especially Jamie. Jun 26, Erika marked it as not-for-me-or-passing-for-now Shelves: This is NOT a review, just reminder for myself about the book. This sounds so good, but I have trouble with romances in which hero thinks about past OW. Also, don't like when hero has OW during separation while heroine does not. Juts a pet peeve of mine. See this review for more details: Dec 08, Allyson rated it it was amazing. Kristine Cayne does it again, I was hooked from page one and read from start to finish could be why I was sleepy today;D Not only was under Command a great love story but Hot and Steamy as well!

The rekindled love between Jamie and Rickie was heartwarming! Under his command was well written and look forward to more books by Kristine Cayne! Jan 05, Paloma Beck rated it it was amazing Shelves: I didn't know what to expect reading a romance about a married couple but it far exceeded my expectations. It was a tightly crafted story that brought across a message of truth and trust with complete honesty.

Dec 11, Gill O'keeffe added it. Looking forward to this, will read the prequel now gill. Not really for me. Apr 21, Candy Varty rated it it was amazing Shelves: A romantic and erotic story, I loved every moment, its a great story, of love, heros and coming to terms with ones most darkest secrets.

Feb 25, Malinda rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a really good story. It shows just what an issue lack of communication and trust can do to a relationship. Fortunately when we come in to the story, Ricki and Jamie and in the process of working things out so we don't see most of the downhill slide D Ricki was in college when she met Jamie he was 6 years older and a firefighter at a party and they had a one night stand.

This might have been the end of it but she ended up pregnant. When she tells Jamie about i This was a really good story. When she tells Jamie about it he proposes and they get married. This was a bad start to a relationship and things don't get worked out for a while. There's a real lack of communication that went on for 5 years of marriage and that's when we came in to the story. Ricki and Jamie love each other but because of the circumstances of how they got together, Ricki thinks Jamie only asked her to marry him because he felt guilty about her getting pregnant and she doesn't believe he actually loves her.

She loves him but started to push him away because she realized she's afraid to become dependent on him. If he then died at on the job, she might not be able to cope with it and not be able to take care of her daughter her Mother set a very bad example. Jamie loves Ricki but the main problem on his side seems to be that he was a Dom when they met but once he got Ricki and their little girl Chloe he didn't want to mess it up so he went and changed himself to be what he thinks Ricki needs.

In the mean time he caves in to her on everything which makes her think he doesn't care enough to put in an effort and they're both miserable. There are several references in here about Ricki and Jamie going through an Earthquake together which compelled them to give their marriage another chance. I kept finding myself wanting to know more about this since it made them decide to try again. This can be found in a short story called Aftershocks.

It's from the Anthology. I found it helpful in understanding Jamie and Ricki and their relationship woes.

Anyways, Jamie suggests they go on a Honeymoon they never got one to HI. They go and the first day they still have some issues with the whole communication issue but they gradually work past this and manage to start re-connecting.

They also rediscover their sex life though BDSM as Ricki encourages Jamie to re-establish himself as a Dom as well as not backing down in day to day issues. Once they got past the communication issues I just loved the time they spent in HI view spoiler [Especially the sunrise scene where they spontaneously renew their vows to each other I really liked this book. I will read it again in the future I can't wait to see Dani and Will get together!

Aug 14, Molly rated it did not like it. Ya, that was awful! Because I read the least favorable review and it said 50 Shades was a better book. I could barely make it through the first three chapters of 50 Shades it was so poorly written, so I figured if that was the reviewers baseline, this might be a pretty good book. I had read Aftershocks and I liked the characters, so even though I knew it was moving into BDSM, I figured good story, hot fireman, maybe it will work.

I didn't even feel like these were the same characters from the novella. Big, hot, macho Jamie was the most neurotic Dom there probably ever was Seriously, what guy hasn't accidentally hit a girls gag reflex during a blow job, it happens. It's not like he was holding her head and forcing himself down her throat, but jeezaloo he sure acted like it. Every time his churlish wife seemed slightly upset he was falling all over himself Then there is bitchy, complaining, whiny Erica.

This girl and I would never be friends. These two were supposed to have been married five years at this point. Granted they got married under the worst circumstances, her getting pregnant, and they didn't really know each other These two walk on egg shells around each other. They have never attempted to have an adult conversation and work anything out. The sex scenes were awful. A woman is left alone, blindfolded, laying across a coffee table with a butt plug in that gives a nice little vibe zap once in awhile, and I'm not supposed to crack up?!

Under His Command (Six-Alarm Sexy #1) by Kristine Cayne

I'm all about fireman, but Jamie left me cold. I did appreciate the ending disclaimer by the author I love when I read a book that completely catches me off guard. I bought this book on Amazon during a promo special and thought it'd be worth a listen during my commute to work. I finished it in two days and am glad I knew nothing about it going in. If you're reading this, then that's obviously not your situation, so here are some things to know about this sexy, sensual, heart-gripping romance He stays committed and solid, is a hero in the truest sense of the word, and lets himself be heart-breakingly vulnerable.

The BDSM is well-placed and contributes to the story rather than being the story. Not having had the pleasure of witnessing a real life fireplay scene, I have a better understanding now of what is involved than from reading any other book featuring it. It's almost instructional, but not preachy or boring. Very sensual, visual, and it fit the story just right. Cayne on doing her research! It doesn't even dominate the sex except where it needs to.

This is a romance relationship book, straight up. Everything that happens, happens to further the relationship between the characters and, while there is an action scene, it's not gratuitous or over-the-top. Add this book to bookshelf. Book added to the bookshelf Ok. Something went wrong and the book couldn't be added to the bookshelf.
