The Dom's Submission #3
His Submission
Terry is done with Maggie. In the bedroom, she’s the perfect sub but she’s too stubborn to let him take care of her outside of the bedroom. He’s done everything he can to make sure she’s safe and happy, but she fights him every step of the way.
And he’s done.
Until she needs his help. He can’t refuse but once he’s taken care of her at her weakest moment he has to flee. He has to quit seeing her. It’s the only way for him to protect his heart and he can’t lose another family. He’d never survive.
Maggie is fed up with Terry’s overbearing ways. He just won’t listen to her. He doesn’t even try to understand that she needs to be able to take care of herself. She can’t rely on another man.
But when he helps her again he wedges himself firmly in her heart. Too bad he’s running away as fast as he can.
Will she be able to convince him that taking a chance on love is always scary but definitely worth the risk?

Terry And Maggie's Story Turns Angsty As The Divide Between The Couple Becomes A Deep Chasm.
His Submission is the third of three parts in The Dom's Submission.
Terry and Maggie's story brings together two very real characters, lonely in their own ways, who both need rescuing. The first part is the story of Terry's seduction of Maggie. The second 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 jealousy and sudden change in taste, making him an easy target for their jests
The third installment of Terry and Maggie's story turns angsty as the divide between the couple becomes a deep chasm. At the close of book two, Maggie discovers that Terry bought her house and a horrible argument results in uncertainty about their relationship status. This story opens the evening after and finds Terry in the club draining the scotch, numbing himself so he can get the nerve to approach a woman and move on from Maggie.
Bound by their pasts, neither can cross the divide that separates them without hurting themselves. Terry is paralyzed from the loss he experienced following his divorce years ago, while Maggie struggles to maintain her independence and minimize her vulnerability following her recent divorce, a task complicated by the fact that she is a single mom of three young children. Taking a time-out for self-evaluation is necessary, but not without its own risks. The couple eventually earns a touching HEA!
This story is a quick read - short and sexy, angsty and heartwarming. The tone is much more serious than the first two installments of The Dom's Submission. The POV alternates between Terry and Maggie, though much of the story belongs to Terry, who has silently suffered for years. It is written in the third person. The plot is light but sufficiently developed. The characters are nicely developed given the length, although it would be nice to know more about Maggie. Terry's friends from La Petite Mort Club play an important supporting role for both Terry and Maggie. I rate this book four stars.

Ehhh! Unsatisfying.
While this story took three books, granted the first one was free, the two that I paid for were painfully unsatisfactory. I will say that she tells a wonderful, detailed, intriguing story. I loved it right until the end.
I'm sure if I was willing to pay for the rest of the series I'd get to a place where I was happy with Terry and Maggie's story. But, I PAID for Terry and Maggie's story.
It was a good story, but, the end left me hanging.
I shouldn't have to pay for more than two books to know the author's intent for them. And if I was supposed to imagine the end of their story, why the hell would I buy two books? I could do that after the free one, again for free.
Not my thing, so I'm off this author entirely.

I had been hoping for a more thorough resolution and character development, but I was disappointed. The resolution happened quickly without much happening beyond that (because there's another book that's basically an extended epilogue that I won't buy). The same fight plagued the main characters, and let me tell you it got OLD. They refused to communicate and it started to feel almost toxic and immature. It's sad because I thought these two could really grow and find their HEA (Spoiler alert: they did, but meh). I need something more than "I'm not pretty and I won't take your money" from heroine and "let me take care of you" while throwing money at her anyway from the hero.

Maggie and Terry - Making it work
Great read. I felt for Maggie after what David did to her. It affected her self esteem but it also made her independent and wanting to stand on her own two feet. SPOILER ALERT: Terry was a ruler…after his divorce, which he had no control over and being regulated to see his children twice a week caused him to be controlling. In this book both Maggie and Terry realized the loved each other.
Finally, David had to pay for claiming to have less money than he actually had and thru Terry, Maggie got what she was due!

This book is hot!
Lot and lots of sex, raunchy, dirty, BDSM. Terry the Dom is a very rich successful divorce attorney that demands total submission in and out of the bedroom. Meets a woman at the club who is a submissive but doesn’t really know it. The attraction sexually is thru the roof but, out of the bedroom is tenuous. The journey and discovery is well written and you can’t get enough. But the sex is off the charts and these two characters are the raunchiest of all. I had so much fun reading this series. I can’t wait to read the other characters.

July 25, 2020A book that you will love for all of the right reasons. Steamy sex and a will they/won't they theme. 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.

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.

The finale of Maggie and Terry romance.
I liked their story and rough journey, however I feel that it would be better to make it in 2 books not 3. As part 3 is shorter and doesn't really bring anything new, all of that could be included in duology.
On the other hand, I loved the meeting at the club, and Richard seems to be an interesting character 😏
Overal, a good, spicy story,

Gosh I loved this series. Terry’s character did not disappoint. His possessiveness was on point. He wanted more from Maggie but was terrified she’d leave him hanging like his ex-wife did. He needed control and wanted to make sure Maggie could relinquish that control to him. Such a good series.

Maggie and Terry continue their story.
Maggie is spurning Terry. Terry is not looking forward to Maggie's kids. How do they come together? You'll have to read the book to find out.

His Submission
I loved the ending. I want more. The DOM in him was so misunderstood. He needed to shed himself of the past and she did as well.

D/S is a partnership and our couple are still struggling to find the balance. Both parties have to be willing to risk all in order to gain all.
This is book three 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 good in the bedroom, but struggle in real life. Both are so busy trying to avoid mistakes of the past that they can't get past the new hurdles in front of them.
The story is very well written and easy to read, with a well developed setting and strong characters. By now we know our characters pretty well and, while we may still want to yell at them to pay attention, they have grown on us and we want them to succeed. But you will have to read the story for your self to find out if they ultimately make it work.
It was a rough read at times (emotionally), but I found it to be a very satisfying ending. I was happy to have read the entire trilogy together to reach the conclusion of the arc.
Highly recommended.

Things are looking bleak for Terry & Maggie. Their last breakup in book 2 was intense & seemingly final. And both Terry & Maggie are completely miserable apart but don't see anyway to be together again.
Yet Terry has suspicions about Maggie's ex & after investigating him, Terry has news for Maggie. A perfectly logical reason to go see her.
But a raging flu derails Terry's best laid plans & manages to bring he & Maggie together in mutual need & support. But will it last?
The author continues her excellent & concluding portion of Terry & Maggie's journey. It's emotional, heartwrenching & heartwarming, intensely addictive (for this reader at least) continues to flesh out both main characters. We see them grow emotionally, working to overcome past insecurities & hurts, to open up & share deep private pain as well as frightening feelings in order to shed light & hope that their 'arrangement' just may become a relationship.
Again, there is sizzling heat, depth of emotion, intense interactions & wonderful characters this reader loves.
An awesome conclusion to a stellar story!

Although Maggie and Terry have a great time in the bedroom once they start to discuss other matters then they hit a roadblock. Both are stubborn and neither wants to compromise. Maggie is getting to know Terry’s friends and the other women as everyone sees what Maggie and Terry can’t see – how much they mean to each other and need each other. The author has done a superb job with this entire series and you really do need to read all 3 books as you do not want to miss a single word of this story. There is so much emotion in this final part of the story as Maggie and Terry are really fleshed out and they work together so they are able to have a fulfilling relationship for the both of them. This is an excellent series and a must read for anyone who loves their BDSM with a brilliant story.

A great ending.
Will Terry listen to his friends or maybe to the good advice Desiree has given him? Terry is not the only one being way too stubborn Maggie is too and it is causing so much pain. One thing I have to say is the Terry is one sweet guy and a great one to have in your corner. Terry and Maggie are wonderful characters. So much happens in this part and the ending well it is just right. Love the book adored the series. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

This is the third book in this series. I have liked each of the books enough to get all three. I am not big on cliffhanger endings but this one was worth my hanging in till the end. Honestly I wasn't a big fan of the characters when the story started but they kept me intrigued enough that I got all three books. They are well written and the characters develop over time. I do encourage you to get all three, they are worth it. This book completes the story and it was a great ending. This is a BDSM story so please remember this when buying these books.

July 14, 2019The last book about Terry and Maggie. But we have trouble in paradise. They had a fight and Terry is sure that they are over. This story is a lot like Fifty shades of grey, which I really loved, when Ana couldn't deal with the fact that Christian has a lot of money. In this story, Maggie is the same. But it's still very sweet and it's a nice end to the trilogy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved every minute!!
This is Terry and Maggie's final book and a wonderful conclusion. It picks up exactly where book 2 left off. Will Terry and Maggie finally find their HEA or will they decide to walk away? This was a heart wrenching read and I loved every minute!

The tension between Terry and Maggie builds both sexually and temperamentally. Seems like they're never on the same page, one always telling the other to just go and then both of them being miserable. The story built to such a crescendo it had no choice but to explode and when it does, it was heartbreaking and glorious. This was the perfect ending.

Really really good erotic romance series. Terry and Maggie are a very likeable couple. Terry is so determined to make Maggie his sub but it doesn't seem to be in the cards. Although there is a lot of explicit sex scenes, it is lighthearted and even humorous at times. Anyone who enjoys erotic romance would like this series. I certainly did. Highly recommended.
