Everything Dean knows about himself is about to change.

Dean’s friends see him as a genius who’s confident, successful, and Dominant. What they don’t see are insecurities that he’s hidden for years. An accident nearly took his life and left him scarred and in pain. His walls keep his secrets safe, but also prevent him from being the Daddy he once was.

Years of avoiding questions and brushing off the subject of dating have come to an end. His friends are determined to help him find the perfect boy.

Merrick’s come home to stay. He has a restaurant to remodel, an adopted cat, and a group of friends that keep him busy. As for a boyfriend? Been there, done that, never again. Helping Dean find the confidence to date might keep his friends from examining his love life a little while longer.

Focusing on Dean is easy—too easy—and it doesn’t take long for Merrick to see something even Dean’s missed. Dean doesn’t need a boy, he needs a Daddy.

The heart can’t be controlled, and helping Dean discover his middle side has unintended consequences. Will the two see that Merrick’s the Daddy Dean needs? Or will they lose more than their friendship along the way?

Submission is the fifth and final book in the Undisclosed series. While it can be read as a stand alone, Undisclosed is a series best enjoyed in order. This friends to lovers, MM romance features many familiar faces, sweet moments, and a guaranteed HEA. Charge your kindle, grab your favorite drink, and kick back to enjoy this slow-burn.

A Surprising Couple & Heartfelt Story of Self-Discovery

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021

Dean and Merrick, together?! I am so here for it!

Brilliant workaholic Dean (35) and commitment-weary Merrick (45) have been mystery men throughout the terrific Undisclosed series, never being the focus or revealing much of themselves even to their found family group of longtime friends (who factor in heavily here), and having their stories converge is a surprising delight. These are two lonely men with some past hurts to help each other work through, and in doing so as friends realize what they've both longed for most was right in front of them all along.

I love hurt/comfort love stories, those with a good slow-burn all the more, and Dean and Merrick's sweet and steamy relationship evolves from friends to lovers at a satisfying, believable pace. And wow, the revelation of Dean being a boy (Middle) rather than a Daddy, let alone finding happiness with his longtime friend - and apparent mutual low-key crush - Merrick, surprised me as much as it did Dean himself and his friends, and all in all the very best of ways.

I've so enjoyed the interconnected stories centering on the longtime kinky friends group and their families at the heart of this series and the author's crossover Johnson Family Rules and Finding Home series. Dean and Merrick's love story such a thoughtful, gratifying end to this heartfelt series, whose wonderful characters I hope will continue to pop up in the author's linked book universe. I received an advance reading e-copy of this book and have left this honest review voluntarily. (Also read in KU.)

I worked my way through the series and liked it. I felt like every book was just a bit too long. Like 50 pages too long. There was a lot of filler dialogue that got repetitive.

My favorite character was Dexter and yet I feel like he didn’t get enough recognition. This book Logan got a ton of credit and assurance for things everyone also chastised dex for. In fact I feel like Dex deserved better than James. James kinda dimmed his sparkle.

Anyways, this was a fun series and had a super cute friend group with shared kinks and zero boundaries.

Oh my..oh my goodness. This was definitely the best way to end this series and yet I can't wait to see all of these guys in futures at DASH! I MEAN they all have to attend again at some point right?
I'm trying to NOT put spoilers in this review but I just got done reading this book and I'm all over the place emotionally lol.
With that being said this book had me laughing and crying at the same time throughout the entire book. I definitely spent the entire morning reading.

If you haven't started this series yet and you enjoy adorable shy littles and caring Daddies finding their way , if you enjoy all the emotions! And the antics of littles and their interesting friends and family! Start this series asap. This series has littles middles pups and some lace! Shy adorable confused men who take forever to figure out whats right in front of them! Ohh Dean Larson and Logan were so freaking adorable in this ! And Mer Trent and Canyon -swoon-

I loved Dean's story. I'm so glad it ended up the way it did. Carly Marie has taken a man who thought he was a Dom because of his desire to care for his partners and showed him something completely different about himself. I think this must be a very real thing for some people, constantly processing and changing your internal sense of self as you learn more throughout your life, especially if that idea of who you are is a little outside the lines.

I love how Merrick handled the situation. He was always patient and trying to learn about Dean, he didn't force him into anything, just let Dean figure out for himself what everyone had missed.

This has to be there as one of my top Carly Marie books. (There's also quite a bit of new content for Trent and Logan!) I'd definitely recommend this book to others. 5/5

An Arc was a courtesy copy for a voluntary review.
All reviews are my honest opinion.

This conclusion to the series with Merrick and Deans story was heavier in some ways then the others. They all had a depth to them not just flash and bang. They were fun, beautiful, heartfelt stories that I enjoyed very much!

Dean and Merrick were such a great pairing and I loved how seeing their friends still developing was also included and such a part of their story. They struggled just like everyone else but because of what they went through the others also got to see and help or learn!

Brilliant last story!

I really enjoyed this ending for Dean and Merrick, there was so much to work through, I am glad they got a hea. But I really want to know Wyatt's story!

I love this series. Carly Marie is a one click author for me. This is the story of Merrick and Dean. The blurb does not do this book justice. It's a great story of Dean, who is not the daddy he thought he was and Merrick learning Dean means more than he ever let himself think before. Beautiful, sweet and Hot. I loved seeing all the guys together too. Plus having Logan and his guys still learning about each other. I could probably read about this group of guys forever. Although, Really well written, and comes full circle perfectly.
I hope we get to read about Wyatt in 2022.

Reading Submission was bittersweet. I loved the story of Deana nd Metrics but its the last of the Undisclosed series.
The pair gravitate towards each other as the others have paired off but there was always a strong connection.
I'm a fan of D/s and daddy reads but reading about a middle is new to me. I loved that Dean was able to stand on his own but still needed more structure.

Dieses Buch war sooo gut. Nicht dass es eine Überraschung gewesen wäre, denn die anderen Bücher dieser Reihe waren ebenfalls klasse. Es ist nur schade, dass die Reihe nun abgeschlossen ist. Ich mochte diese Männer.

I loved every single word of Submission. We’ve known Dean and Merrick throughout the series. Dean’s well known as a genius who’s helped the other guys out, and he’d definitely Dominant...or is he? Merrick’s worked away a lot and only recently come back home to Tennessee to the group of friends who have become family. He’s sworn off commitment due to his past, but things soon change.

I loved the twist in this one that I hadn’t seen coming through the other books. It was as shocking to me to find out Dean wasn’t a Dom as it was to his friends. Seeing him discover the side to him that he hadn’t known about was amazing - and commitment-phobe Merrick being the one to help him find it and nurture it was sweet.

Dean and Merrick just fit together. But they have to discover if it can work - and Carly Marie’s writing allows us readers to be on the front row watching that sweetness unfold. Their writing is fantastic, bringing characters to life that you feel you know (compounded by the fact that we see previous main characters right though the series and watch their lives grow with them). Fantastic writing, fantastic characters and a must read book.

I have all the rest Carly Marie's books in this series (as well as others that tie in) and though I really enjoyed them all, this one is outstanding in the emotions it tugs from the reader. You laugh and sigh as the Littles and their Doms seem oblivious to what is in front of them. Carly Marie's knack of tying in so many well loved characters from her other books is great. I really can't wait to read the next book. Thankyou Ms Marie

I love books in series that tie into other series! It makes the world richer and more realistic. The characters are growing across the books as you meet old friends time and again.
It was great to finally understand why these two characters were so grumpy. I love HEA books.
The only criticism would be to have a little more detail about their childhoods and their families.
