Trust in Me #3.5

A Date with a Dom

Rate this book
Prelude to Requested Surrender

She wants to be friends and he wants to be lovers. She's vanilla and he's a Dom. She's not convinced this will work. He's positive they'll be great together.

A trial relationship it is.

So they make a pact. He agrees to give her the eight "hands-off" date nights she wants, while she agrees to his condition and participates in all the sexting he's after. She's thinking he's a busy guy, so no big whoop. Unfortunately, he's willing to make all kinds of time...for her.

What could go wrong?

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is the hero and heroine in my soon-to-be released BDSM romance, Requested Surrender. David and Lacy’s actually story starts off with a bang. So I wanted to show a little fun and sizzle backstory before we get to the chastity belt and saw scene. Oh, yeah. I went there in the first chapter which I've included in this prelude.

Riley Murphy writes sexy, humorous, and emotional romance, happy ending guaranteed. An optimist, she believes life is awesome, people are complicated, but in a good way, and we should never stop learning. Riley currently has a whole mess of grandkids who are keeping her very busy! When Riley's not working she enjoys oil painting, designing furniture-who knew? And, traveling to see those grandbabies every chance she gets.

If Riley wasn't a writer, she'd be an international spy with top-level security so she could have a peek at Area 51 and decide for herself if those green guys are for real. Failing that she'd likely go with chicken sexer. Riley loves her characters and she hopes you do too.

***ARC received in exchange for a honest review**

This has got to be a first for me.. a quick read (68pg kindle)and dont have anything to complain about. (smiles. I enjoyed it all the way around, I went back and forth wanting to hug the sweet bratty little sub. If you pay attention you will see there is more to her than just what she lets be seen. The Dom yeah I felt sorry for Him at times, He more or less tried to ease the sub into what He required. He soon found out that if He allows her, her own way.. she would run right over Him. Its time to buck up butter cup. (smiles)

After a "incident" the Dom goes about determined to be who He is letting the little cutie, the Man that is a Dom like she has never known. He will leave her with choices... and what will she choose?

Stay tuned for more... check out Required Surrender the continuation of their story to be released soon.

Enjoy...

This book was provided by the Author through the BDSM group on goodreads in exchange for my honest review

I think I've found my new favorite couple! David and Lacy are great together, they really balance each other out. He's a serious Dom where she is a funny, bratty submissive. This book gives a peek into their first few dates and interactions. I have to say that I found myself laughing out loud few times.

I can't wait to start Requested Surrender by Riley Murphy.

4 Stars - A Date With A Dom is an erotic romance novella by Riley Murphy; a prelude to Requested Surrender, the 4th book in her Trust in Me series.

“I’m the kind of man who likes his woman to come to him. I live to see her drop her gaze and bow her head. Not out of fear, or because I told her to, but out of deference and respect. If she crosses her hands behind her back and waits for me to establish my will over her, all the better. I like my woman on her knees. Between my legs. Desperate to suck my cock until that’s all she can think of. All she desires to do as she pleases me. I’m the kind of Dom who likes to hear the smack of a belt or the heady thud a thicker tail of the flogger makes, touching my woman’s skin. I ache to see the raised gooseflesh that surfaces, after the wind from a rapid strike vanishes. I want to hear her moan, groan, and if she cries? It’s with gladness and relief, not because I did this to her, that’s the easy part, it’s because there’s no judgment or shame. That’s the hardest part. The thing that most men don’t get about women. They have unconventional needs that hunger to be met. This is what makes a guy like me special. I’m up for the challenge and I get no greater satisfaction then when my woman unravels into the unique success she was always meant to be. No longer held hostage by conventional and man-made ideals society has foisted on her. This is what I’m offering you. Freedom. Because when a woman becomes her own creation. When she’s happy to live and breathe her truth no matter how her respected peers may view it, that’s what does it for me. As I know I’ve been a part of making that moment happen. And that moment creates a partnership all its own. That’s the kind of relationship I want with you.”


Oh, how I love Riley Murphy books! This short little erotic tease is the super sexy prequel to Requested Surrender. Can’t wait to read what’s in store for straight-laced veterinarian, Lacy Pembrook, and dead sexy Dom, David Hollan!

Content: graphic language, explicit sex and toys.

This is so very short book, but a great introduction to what I suspect is going to be a great book.
This book introduces David who is an experienced Dom, who currently doesn't have a sub, and so is looking for one. Linda on the other hand is the potential sub, who tells David from the outset that she is an experienced sub who has actually been a slave. From what she's said and done with Dave I don't believe this to be the case, unless she's just testing him. She sounds very naive .

Can't wait for the next in this series.

Strongly recommend.

A Date with a Dom
Riley Murphy


Oh my word! This short and sexy audiobook was delicious!
A Date with a Dom was my fist Riley Murphy book ever! A ridiculously fun story. It kept me entertained and wanting more. I bought the follow up right after.
But, the narration just pulled it all together. The two narrators just blended as one. Making it a magical experience.

I was given this book by Paranormal Romance and Authors that rock, for an honest review.

this is an introduction to Lacy and David. they have met, and are discussing how to proceed with their "relationship" it tells of their first few dates, that Lacy and David have agreed to, to get to know each other. David is a Dom and Lacy is not that way inclined, or that's what the blur says.

super short, 68 pages, but hot in all the right places. the texting sessions were especially good! I love how we hear from both David and Lacy.

I only gave it 3/5 for the following reasons, it IS short, but meant as such. still, only took me 30 mins to read it (and I would have bben disappointed had I paid for it) I would like to have heard how they met, and how they came to be having these dates, cos there is none of that. also, there is the first chapter to their full story Requested Surrender, so this story cuts off at 75%. I didn't read the chapter, since I have that book to read next.

it is part of a series, and I have not read those, but don't feel as I have missed anything.

Lacy isn't sure she's interested in the kind of relationship that David is offering, but she's not so sure she can refuse either. What will happen when she goes on a date with a Dom?

This short story/novella certainly served to whet my appetite for more. The characters are realistic and their interactions frequently had me giggling to myself (laughing out loud around my children leads to questions that I'm not always comfortable answering, and that would certainly have been the case with this book.) David is clearly a confident alpha male who likes to be in control, but he's willing to compromise when necessary to achieve his goals which made him much more likeable in my eyes. Lacy is his somewhat unwilling sub, although the conflict seems to be largely in her head and there are hints that there's more to her hesitancy than we currently know. She is quite sassy and I love how she works to push David's buttons every chance she can. I will definitely be reading more from this series.

Prelude to Requested Surrender also by Riley Murphy

David is a Dom & He wants Lacy. Lacy is a vanilla friend to women who are submissives to Doms that David knows. Hmmmm He wants her & is willing to convince her they could be good together. They decide to have a few dates & see what happens. David is a very deviant Dominant. Not only are they going on dates but He is always inventing ways to mess with her head & desires. As much as she doesn't want to, she's interested in Him more & more.

As short as this was, it still gave us a lot of information. Made me grateful i already had the next book. What will David do next??? Will Lacy go for it?

My first books by Ms. Riley. i'm looking forward to more!!

This book, #3.5 in the Trust In Me series, is a very short novella. Written as a prelude to book #4, Requested Surrender, it is an introduction to the characters, David and Lacy. 

David and Lacy know each other because their 4 friends (featured in books #2 and #3) are in relationships. 

Despite being attracted to each other, Lacy is wary of beginning a relationship with the quiet Dom, David. He, however, is determined to show her how good they can be together. 

Lacy is testy and stubborn and thinks she knows what she's in for but David is full of surprises. 

This little taster is a very quick read (20 mins for me) and sets the scene perfectly for book #4. It's wet my appetite and I intend on digging straight in to see where their story leads.

This is a very effective teaser for the full story which is told in Requested Surrender. It is a great introduction to the characters. Their encounters and texting in-between give us an tempting insight into what is to come.

I went straight to the sequel and absolutely loved it too - it meant more because of the context I gained here.

A date with a Dom

Lacey and David are friends. They are both into BDSM. David wants to pursue a Dom/Sub relationship with Lacey. She is afraid to try because it might end badly and they couldn't hang out with each other and their friends.
This is a sexy, witty, novella by Riley Murphy. Lacey' s character is quirky, and sassy. David is pure Dom. A great start to Requested Surrender.

3.5 stars. Riley is an excellent storyteller. I loved (in a gushy, swoon-like manner) the main male character - David. The female character - Lacy - made me cringe. I know of no vet that acts as immature as she does. It's almost like she's 18 and just out of high school. I have a need for her to grow up a bit and to show brattiness in a smarter way.

Extremely boring and did NOT hold my interest. Needs editing to correct the numerous grammatical/spelling errors.
