The Dom's Submission #2
His Mission
Terry has found the perfect sub in Maggie, except she still thinks this was a one night fling.
That isn’t going to work for him. He is nowhere near done with her yet. She’s warm, willing and eager to please.
Now, all he has to do is convince her that having him around is a good thing, both in and out of her bedroom.
Maggie has never, ever had a night like she did with Terry. She’d love to keep seeing him, but she has too much to do. She has kids to care for, a job, and a house to pack because she has to move. Unfortunately, there’s no time for a hot, sexy, man in her life.
Now, she just has to convince him of that.

This Is The Story Of Terry And Maggie's Struggle To Define Their Relationship. His Control Clashes With Her Pride.
His Mission is the second of three parts in The Dom's Submission. Although it is possible to read it as a stand-alone, it would be more fully enjoyed following part one. Both parts end in a cliffhanger.
In the first part, Terry, a dom in his mid-forties, has a reputation for being brutally honest (i.e. rude) and is infamous for his control. He has become lonely, and coming home each night to his dog doesn't fill the void. As a successful divorce attorney, he is a great catch but vows not to marry a second time. He is tiring of the club routine and is in need of a new sub. Maggie has been divorced just over one year. The mother of three youngsters and in her mid thirties, she has no friends to lean on for support and finds her life crumbling as she struggles to pay the bills. She is a complete mess.
When unsuspecting Maggie is lured to La Petite Mort Club by her ex-sister-in-law, she is completely out of her element. She runs into Terry, a member, who rescues her from being attacked that night. Her innocence and curves draw him to her, despite the fact that she isn't at all his type. He is relentless in his pursuit, encouraged by the knowledge that she is attracted to him, too. Almost as soon as Terry succeeds in seducing her, Maggie suddenly needs to leave him. It becomes unclear whether they will write off their tryst as a fling, much to Terry's chagrin, or if it will become something more.
The second part opens on the morning of day four, right where part one leaves off. Terry is determined to keep Maggie, but his words continually get him into trouble. Maggie's inexperience as a sub necessitates serious discussions that often lead to misunderstandings. Additionally, the challenges imposed by Maggie's three young children require careful coordination.
Terry and Maggie's budding relationship experiences growing pains as they attempt to define what they are to one another. Terry desperately wants Maggie, whose pride is continually challenged by Terry's need to fix her problems and control everything. Terry's attempts to please Maggie ironically result in her pushing him away.
Terry and Maggie's story brings together two very real characters, lonely in their own ways, who both need rescuing. This is the story of Terry and Maggie's struggle to define their relationship. Terry's crass comments and Maggie's stubborn independence create an enticing tension, while Terry's friends are heartily entertained by his bumbling, accusing him of being whipped. Maggie is a very sympathetic character, and Terry deserves a second chance at love after so many years alone. It is easy to root for their HEA, but part two ends in a cliffhanger!
This book is an easy read - short and sweet and sexy. It is nicely written with few errors. The POV alternates between Terry and Maggie. It is written in the third person. The plot is light but sufficiently developed. The characters are nicely defined given the length.More is learned about Maggie here, helping to make up for the paucity of details in part one. The banter between Terry and Maggie is tense, but Terry's relationship with his friends is so much fun - they are hilarious when they stir him up! For Ellis O. Day fans, many of Terry's friends from La Petite Mort Club make an appearance. I rate this book four stars.

This part of the series was better than the first. It grasped my attention and made me want to continue reading even when I had chores to complete. Terry does not disappoint. His possessiveness and control is past anything I’ve read and that says a lot considering the books I read. He’s definitely a Dom Maggie should consider taking on. Maggie can’t seem to relinquish control. She always says one thing but her body and kind are against what she voices. Sometimes, while reading, I think, geez just allow him to take control, but then it takes away from her character. I look forward to the third book in the series.

This one just didn’t do it for me. The spice? Unfortunately, it wasn’t giving what it was meant to give. For a book that leans heavily on heat, it felt pretty repetitive and lacked the tension or excitement I was hoping for.
The story itself was okay, but the main characters were so frustrating. They’re both incredibly stubborn, and instead of actually communicating, they just bounce between arguing and sleeping together—with very little in between. It got old fast, and I found myself skimming through sections just to get to something new.
It had potential, but overall, it felt like the same cycle on repeat. Not for me this time. 2 stars.

Terry and No Maggie?
Good read. Terry…it was all about Terry. He bulldozed himself into Maggie’s life. Yes, he helped her but he forgot that she was a proud woman albeit down on her luck after a deadbeat ex husband basically left her with nothing and 3 kids. For Terry to take over was a slap to Maggie’s face and a wake up call when she found out he bought her house and so much more.
So his feelings are hurt, he goes to the club and does what he does best…look for another sub! I thought he loved Maggie.

July 25, 2020 Terry follows his head in business, never follows his heart because that got broken and so follows another part of his anatomy for relationships; when he meets Maggie it is that part of him that is drawn to her, but she has responsibilities and while she is very attracted to Terry, she doesn't want to be a one-night stand, but Terry thinks she a natural Sub and plans on making her his for as long as he wants her.

Follow-up to first book was rather disappointing. While continuing where the story left off in first book, it led the reader through ups and downs without much outside of that. It was the same fight over and over, and that's not good reading. I get give and take as well as points of contention, but this was simply the same fight carried over. I still wanted more for these characters and have yet to receive it.

Innocent Maggie meets Terry, the Dom.
Maggie has her ex-sister-in-law taking her clubbing. Little does Maggie know that this is a sex club. Maggie loses her ex in the club. While searching the club, she goes into some explicit sexcapades going on. Meanwhile, Dom Terry has been following her. It time to get the book to read this little tale.

Great story, excellent writing.
Plenty of spice with a very good plot. It's wonderful to have a truly good author in a genre where many are subpar. With Ellis O. Day you get lots of sexy scenes in a book with a real plot and fully-fledged characters. I especially love getting to know the recurring characters as individuals from series to series.

September 12, 2025I started it only because of the cliffhanger from the first one. But I had the first as an ebook while this one I had to do audio and I lost interest fast. He’s too arrogant and full of himself. Which like yea Dom whatever but come on now. The woman has three kids. She already has to pick and choose her battles with them and now you’re acting like one too!!!

Great writer
She is so smart and talented in her writing she knows just when to stop a book that makes you want to buy the next one and read it right away and I did just that! This story is frustrating yet very well written

The bitter - sweet continuation of Terry and Maggie story. Let's be honest, Terry - that guy has some temper and very sharp tongue 😈. But Maggie is a not a dormat, and I loved how she defies him.
An emotional roller-coster story and interesting reading.

He had a mission but they just couldn't get on the same page. Writing was explicit but very enjoyable. I am so drawn to the submissive stories.

I thought the writing was sloppy. The word 'colonge' was used often, to the point of distraction, but then when it appeared in a sentence misspelled as 'colon', all interest in the book was gone.

Oil & water.
A slavering wolf hunting his plump 'little rabbit'.
Terry & Maggie's 'arrangement' limps along in emotional fits & starts. For every step forward, they slide back two or three due to Terry's temper & Maggie's continued, almost paranoid, refusal to accept his help, financial or otherwise.
As a Dom & more specifically as Maggie's Dom, everything in him craves & needs to help her, support her, protect her. He's got the money, the resources & the desire to do so. But after 10 years of marriage, being faithful to one man, believing in the promises made between she & her husband, Maggie learned the hard way, she can't trust promises, as a woman & mother she wants to be self sufficient to ensure she's never that vulnerable again.
But Terry, who's decided never to be emotionally vulnerable again after his divorce, is finding himself lusting almost uncontrollably after his lush, soft, warm 'little rabbit' Maggie. And Maggie, is finding Terry is slowly but surely unlocking the carnal sensual side of herself she didn't realize she possessed. And she loves it.
But, then Terry gets frustrated, angry & verbally lashes out at Maggie who shuts down, goes into self protective mode & tells Terry things are over.
Again & again & again . . . .
The author does a superb job fleshing out Terry & Maggie. I wanted to SMACK both of them on the back of the head multiple times. Both are intelligent people but they are both mired in hurts & fears from their past & as soon as they leave the bedroom reality harshly intrudes.
I loved how the author worte Terry, I loved how he prowled & hunted Maggie. How her lush curvy body practically enflamed him constantly, how he was so consumed with her, focused on her, how he wanted to dominate & control his 'little rabbit'. How protective he was, possessive of her. And yes, he was over controlling, overly dominating & domineering to a woman who had never been other than purest vanilla. And he let his frustrations flare his temper so he said things to Maggie in a harsh way that didn't correctly impart what he actually meant.
And Maggie, innocent of darker pleasures that existed, insecure about her body, financially struggling to keep her head above water to support herself & her 3 children, afraid to become involved with a man that physically turns her on & lights her up like a Roman candle.How she wanted Terry, loved his attentions & lust for her, loved experiencing his control & dominance in the bedroom but was afraid to lose her heart & self sufficiency in the rest of her life.
GAH! I spent the whole of this portion of their story anxious & worried about their 'arrangement': would they be able to overcome their issues & insecurities & remain together?
And the s*x?
Man, oh man! The author has among the most SIZZLING erotic scenes I've read. And not just because of the physical detail. Oh NO! Terry's dominance, power & lust fairly RADIATE off the pages & grabbed me by the throat & drew me into the story like a riptide. And I didn't want to escape.
This is an excellently written & plotted story with superb characters the reader cares about & hopes against hope that WILL end up together. I highly recommend this one.
P.S. Some will probably think Terry is a jerk &/or *ss, but I don't care, I looooove him!

Our couple got off to a good start, but there are still a few rapids left to navigate. He wants more commitment than she is ready to give.
This is book two in this particular story arc and I recommend reading them in order to understand the characters and to get the full effect of the narrative.
This is an erotic story with a focus on BDSM and D/S. Our hero is an experienced dom, our heroine a newbie. They are now trying to take things to the next level, but they have trouble letting go of the past.
The story is very well written and easy to read, with a well developed setting and strong characters. We get more character development in this story, which I really like. I love our heroine, her spirit, her need to be strong. Our hero, on the other hand, stumbles in this book. He loses patience and acts in a way that damages the fragile relationship. As a result, I actually did not like this story as much as the previous one. Hopefully he will redeem himself in book three.
Overall, I still found the story enjoyable even if I wanted to smack the hero.
Recommended.

This is such a relatable story. Maybe not to the extremes Ellis O. Day has laid out, but when you have a single mother of three, who is overweight, out of shape, working a dead end job because she gave up college in exchange for marriage and children and now she's the one struggling trying to make ends meet while the ex gets to take them on fun adventures. That will play havoc on anyone's self esteem and confidence. You've just met Maggie. Enter Terry. I'm sure each of us know someone like him, in varying degrees. You know the kind. Strong, opinionated, sometimes overbearing, always wants to be in charge and take care of things. And sometimes he lets his battleship mouth overtake his canoe brain when things get out of his control. The story is emotional, funny, heart breaking, and sexy as sin. Thank goodness I have book three waiting while I type this.

In this second part of the series Maggie and Terry’s differing expectations become more obvious and start to affect their relationship. Neither one really knows how to define their relationship or to express to the other exactly what they are wanting and needing for this to work. The author continues to do a brilliant job at describing the characters and their emotions as Terry continues to introduce Maggie to more and more of his lifestyle.

Great book 2
Terry and Maggie are back in this book 2 of the series. This book picks up exactly where book 1 ended. Maggie is a natural submissive but not in all things and Terry has to either get her to trust him enough to accept his help or accept that she will always need her independence in certain things. Great book 2. Can't wait to read book 3.

Major trouble between these two.
This book starts off with Terry doing something that is rather hard for him and book does not end well either. This part is all about the challenges Maggie and Terry have getting to know each other. Terry pushes Maggie pulls away a very real look at how two stubborn and strong well people act with each other. Cannot wait to start the 3rd part I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Terry and Maggie had a great night together, and Terry wants more. How can he convince Maggie that he is trustworthy after her ex has left her broke. Maggie is focussed on her children, and getting ready out of the house she can no longer afford. This book is the second part of the story and you should read the series to get maximum enjoyment.

Oh man, what a great series. Poor Terry is so obsessed with Maggie and is sure she's going to make a fantastic submissive. Maggie, though, is a bit too stubborn, and everything he says seems to come out wrong. It's funny watching this big bad Dom falling all over himself because of a chubby little lady. I love the characters, the story, and of course the erotica. Can't wait for more. You gotta read this series.

This is the second book in this series. Yes, it does have a cliffhanger ending. It is well written. I still have problems with the characters but I am beginning to like them more. I do encourage everyone to get this book and give it a chance. I would have liked it better if was a complete story. Please remember that this is a BDSM story so if that isn't your kind of story you will not like this one. I liked the story enough I have bought the third book just to see how the story ends!
July 14, 2019
The story of Terry and Maggie continues. He still didn't give her the contract but they do have sex although Maggie is still shy and being his little rabbit, when it comes to talking about the subject. Again, the story is told from 3rd point of view but is still interesting. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

In this book Terry just keeps doing and saying the wrong thing over and over and over. He has a good heart and all his intentions are great, he just does not know how to comunicate in a way that stubborn Maggie accepts. And Maggie is very stubborn!
