Obedience

Alphaholes #5

by Gemma Weir

Obedience – compliance with an order, request, or submission to another’s authority.
I’m obsessed with my wife.

I claimed her, I married her, and now she belongs to me in every way; but I’ve never been more scared of losing her.

I’m Sebastian Lockwood; a king among men. And kings get what they want.

But Starling has become a true queen. And queens get to play by their own rules.

She’s proved beyond doubt that she’s strong, capable, and every bit as much of a psycho as I am.

My little bird isn’t broken anymore. The bars of her cage have burst open, and I don’t know how to close them again, or if trying to will make me lose her forever.

But when betrayal slips into our world, we’re forced to learn how to stand as one, or watch our marriage crumble and burn.

Control, obedience, freedom, and everything in-between, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.

Because she always has, and always will be, my obsession.

We meet this couple again and reminder we know Sebastian is a walking talking red flag. Sometimes I wanna smack him at how cruel he was because he wanted his wife to be near him 24/7 he was scared at losing her. So I get it I felt for poor Star but secretly she wanted this. So she was staying home doing school work and angry giving Sebastian the silent treatment until Sebastian remember how to get his wife happy. And himself happy which was Freeuse so yeah sex lol. He would use her (they talked about this ages ago) and they both enjoyed it and the lives started to calm down. Until someone invaded there pricy and tried to blackmail Star with pictures of them having sex.

So you see them as a couple being pyshcos. Trying to find who the person is and ruining there lives. It was fun to watch. And to have allll the gang be apart of it. Also a suprise about there family is growing;)

Epilogue

[Booksaddict2020 · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story is dark, romantic and steamy with some suspense. The story continues after the end of Book 4. This book focuses on the first couple i.e Starling and Sebastian. It focuses on the change in their dynamic after Book 4. The story is engaging and will envelope its readers. It is a highly recommended book for readers who like this genre.

Personal Take:
The story was just what I needed and didn’t realise it. It was a perfect end to the series. I hope the author comes out with more books like this soon.

I was so happy when Gemma announced that Sebastian and Starling were getting another book, and this definitely didn't disappoint!

Sebastian is as crazy as normal, but I loved seeing Starling being stronger against him and them both working together in the craziest ways to get rid of a threat. Oh, and of course the spice is definitely spicing in this one but then what else would you expect from a Gemma book?

Really hope we get to see more of these Alphaholes in the future!

TBH i can't stand this couple anymore, i barely liked them in their first book but then in all the other couples book they kept being more present than the main couples and kept being annoyng lol.
Now in this new entry as a continuation of their story i couldn't read it, it was repetitive AF again, i read it till around 30% and the plot was still was repetitive of the things happened in the previous book also repetitive talking too.... for example what she thought for her self , a repeat when she is talking about the same thing with her friend ,then with the doctor, etc... 🙄🙄🙄🙄
i gave up, i don't care about this couple anymore , so annoying .

Well that was a whole lot of Hotness and extra spice thrown in. As always i love Sebastian and Starling thats where it all started and really enjoyed reading more about them two psychos and where they were at in life. Thank you Gemma for all the words you bring us and these epic story's we fall in love with, it's becoming an Obsession.

Holy shit!

Holy shit! When I realised that we were getting more Sebastian and Starling, I was so excited but also doubtful in equal measures. Excited because well duh!! But doubtful because I wondered how their last book could ever be topped!
But my god!! I take all the doubtfulness back because she hit it out of the freaking stratosphere!!! I honestly cannot formulate the words to adequately describe this book and how it made me feel. And how perfect it is!!!
Just go and read. One click the shit out of it!!

I was kind of hoping for some revenge for Starling or groveling from Sebastian.

They are mostly happy but he thinks she will leave him because she helped their friend escape her friend's relationship. Now he is really concerned she will flee.

There was a lot of butt stuff which seemed repetitive.

You really need to read the earlier books to see how they started.

Also she is getting her degree but doesn't plan to get a job so that seemed pointless.

I loved the series

I loved Sebastian’s and Starling’s story. The first two books are my favorite. It was nice to read about Hunter and Bunny Evan and Sammy and Clay and January. I wish there was a little more about Hunter and Starling’s relationship. This book definitely felt shorter than the rest. I would recommend it if you aren’t too comfortable with a lot of spice. Bastian wasn’t too morally gray in this book and seemed more reformed.

It was lovely to see Sebastian and Sterling again, and although I thought we might get a groveling Sebastian and a more stand-up Sterling, it was still a good story for them. She accepts his psychopath nature, acknowledging that their love is toxic and full of red flags, but it’s the only life she wants.

gr8 ending…

I don’t think any one can argue AI made this book, especially at the end with the mix ups with Bought & Brought! LoL! But I love this series & NE up coming books will always be an automatic one click read 4 me!

I love this series

I love how intense this series is! I’ve read all of Gemma Weirs books and this series is its own kind of dark and crazy and intensity that makes it so amazing and can’t stop reading. I really hope the series keeps going!

Dnf 70% mostly bored reading it. Was hoping for couple drama and grovelling rather than mostly external one
