My name is Trent Ramsey. It’s possible you’ve heard of me. I’m one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. Not only that, but I’ve built a vast empire of businesses, including two of the hottest BDSM clubs on the map. My face has been plastered on big screens and magazines for over a decade. Plus, I’ve got more money than I know what to do with.At one point in my life, I thought that was enough … enough to make me happy. So, why am I not? Why have I found myself at a crossroad? It’s not like I don’t know what I want. I know exactly what I want. Or rather who.But it isn’t what you think. I’m not after a submissive who will fill the void. No, it’s never that easy for me.I’m after two and they aren’t both submissives. In fact, one happens to be my personal assistant. Although my mind has been set on one particular woman for so long, I can’t deny the fact I have an overwhelming urge to dominate him, too. Better yet, both of them together. At the same time.

“Trent Ramsey was everything I’d ever wanted and everything I should’ve been running from.”
Intrigued is an understatement regarding how I felt when I read the synopsis for Their Famous Dominant, the latest installment in the Office Ingtrigue series. I confess, I read it as a standalone, due to time constraints. I even have a pretty paperback on my shelf of the first in the series, but sadly it’s still on my TBR.
I was thrilled to learn that Trent was the focus of this story. I had met him while reading the Club Destiny series. He’s the one responsible for the BDSM addition to the club Devotion. Not only is he an extremely successful movie star, he’s a famous dominant as well. He’s highly respected in both areas and as the owner of two BDSM clubs, his kink is no secret. With the paparazzi constantly following him, he has very few secrets. But as I’m sure you guessed, he doesn’t give a shit, he has nothing to hide. He’s not ashamed of his kink and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He’s a Dom with a capital D, and there’s a long line willing to be his s in a D/s relationship. He’s used to giving orders and being obeyed by everyone, including his personal assistant.
The female object of his obsession has been on his radar for years. He’d always known that he wanted her, but he just hadn’t done anything about it so far. But when the time is right, there’s no stopping the train once it’s in motion. She didn’t stand a chance of being able to resist him, right?
I really liked her, she knew who she was. “Yes, I was a submissive. The need to serve was great within me, yet at the same time I’d never found a place where I truly belonged. I longed to find a Master who could calm me with his dominance, not ony sexually but in my everyday life. Someone I could serve and cherish and dedicate myself to. Someone who would offer me the love, respect and guidance I so desperately needed. However, I wasn’t letting just any man run roughshod over me. There was a difference between being a submissive and being a dormat. A doormat I was not.” What fun I had waiting for those two to connect, knowing that he was just the dom she needed but hadn’t experienced yet…sigh.
And then, I fell for him too. He was the oh so very efficient personal assistant for one of the most sought-after movie stars in the movie industry. What he wasn’t aware of is that he was also one of the most sought-after Doms in the BDSM world as well. Trent did a very good job of keeping his business world separate from his private life. For three years his assistant was not exposed to his kink, Trent referring to him as vanilla. And then, BOOM! Life, as he knew it, changed when his boss decided to introduce him to the dark side… and he liked it.
With so much going on, it’s no wonder that this story was much longer than most of her others. The author had a lot of foundation to lay and a lot of instruction was needed for the poor vanilla assistant. He’s very likable and amusing. One of my favorites is, “I was going through my limit list one more time. Considering I didn’t know half of what this shit was, I’ve been utilizing my good friend Google. It’s safe to say that if the FBI is monitoring my searches, someone’s probably going to descend on the building soon.”
The many colorful support characters kept me very entertained and intrigued to spend more time with them going forward. I’m anxious to go back and catch up with the earlier installments and I’ll definitely be stalking the author for the next story after getting a glimpse in the epilogue of who it will focus on. The line forms here…
*3,5 stars*
Honestly, this author is one of my favorites and she’s really one of my go-to-go authors since I really started reading but I feel like this book wasn’t really fully for me. Although I loved the chemistry between the characters and the way the story was written, I think it’s more the topic that put me off a bit ‘cuz it’s not my favorite to read.
But I love the way the author writes and somehow gets you to feel ever word in the book.
Trent is one of the most famous actors in the world but with that comes a lot of publicity and not always in a great way. Although professionaly he seems to have it all, there’s one thing he wants more and that’s to be a good Dominant but he can’t seem to find a good submissive.
Even after all these years he hasn’t forgotten about Clarissa and when she finally walks back into his life, he wants to make her an offer she can’t refuse but it’s not that easy. While he tries to find a way, he and his assistant Troy seem to be getting closer after some difficulties in Troy’s life. Somewhere down the line, the three of them get closer and maybe Trent will finally have what he’s always wanted and maybe even something more than that ….
This author is one of my favourites, so much so, I buy her books without checking the blurb or knowing what the book will be about.
As with all her books, the characters, the story, and the heat were great.
I love how the author has all her different series interwoven together in some way, which means we get appearances of those characters in the each others’ books.
THEIR FAMOUS DOMINANT is book 4 in the Office Intrigue series and although there’s awesome characters that often reappear from the previous books, you can jump right into this story with no problems.
Here’s the gist:
TRENT: the Dominant; a famous actor (hence the title!); seeks control in every aspect of his life
CLARISSA: a seasoned submissive; wants a Dom to love but is afraid of commitment or being hurt
TROY: the assistant; bisexual but has never tried the D/s scene
I’ll be honest, I found some parts dragged a bit but I think it’s mostly because I was so freakin’ excited to get to the steamy parts! I knew that when these three came together, it’d be explosive and I was not disappointed. There was so many little facets that made up this triad and Nicole Edwards did an excellent job of putting the parts together to create a “master”piece (<- see what I did there?) I understood and even admired Trent's need to control his life. I could absolutely see how Clarissa would become so afraid to put her heart on the line. But the winning character for me was Troy. YES! He was funny, laid back, sexy, supportive, charming. Troy was that special icing in between the two yummy cookies that held everything together. You know...the one you just wanna lick?!?! Seriously though, as with all of Ms. Edwards' books, this one has a lot meat, a backbone and an actual story. Told from all three POVs with a sweet yet sexy ending for Trent, Troy and Clarissa AND an "oh that's HOT" moment for a future character! I voluntarily reviewed and read this book.
Trent Ramsey,actor,self made millionaire and Dominant of two of his own BDSM clubs is about to embark on the most crucial point in his life.
For years Trent has felt a connection to the beautiful submissive Clarissa but he’s not acted on it until now. Troy is Trent’s personal assistant,organizing and keeping on track his hectic life.
For the past few years Trent has felt a pull to dominate and bring out the submissive side of Troy.
With increasing restlessness in his life Trent is looking for something special so he sets out to bring both Clarissa and Troy his life in a personal way.
Nicole delivers another pulse pounding sexy read with plenty of heat and a truly beautiful story of finding the one or in this story,two who complete you.
If you love stories with BDSM,ménage,(mmf) and strong characters,then this is the book for you. The writing is superb and the story gives you all the good feels!
I have to say as I was reading this book, the dynamic between the characters was off the charts sizzling!
We get to see how Trent Ramsey lives, how he is with those close to him and as a famous actor how the media portrays what they see! He has previously been seen in the Club Destiny series and we finally get to read his story!! Fear not, this book can be read as a standalone! What a book though!!
I found it to be very interesting as well as informative and I was rather envious too! You will understand when you read it for yourself!
I loved how you could sense Trent’s dominant side and how he is within the clubs he owns!
This book was rather enjoyable and fun to read! It was also incredibly steamy too!
I really liked Clarissa, her need to be protected and cared for as a submissive, can she trust Trent to be what she needs?? As a self employed lawyer a bit down on her luck, can Trent help her??
Trent has had his eye on Clarissa and his personal assistant Troy for a while now, can they give him what he needs to be truly happy??
This steamy menage story has to be one of this authors best work! A definite must read book that will have you fanning yourself!
Be prepared this is a long book BUT it packs a huge punch!!!
Readers who are familiar with Nicole Edwards’ Club Destiny series have already been introduced to Trent Ramsey – a man who is legendary in the BDSM world as well as one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. Trent Ramsey dominates his submissives as well as the Box Office and he does so for all the world to see because he’s comfortable with who he is and what gets him off and if society wants to talk about or condemn him for his kinky ways, he can’t stop them nor will their judgment stop him from what he wants or how he gets it.
While Trent seems to have everything he wants in life, money, fame, power, and a more than healthy sexual appetite, there’s still something missing, and in order to fill this void, he finds himself wanting to dominate and connect with two people and the most interesting part is one of them doesn’t seem to have a submissive bone in HIS body, is ready to teach both Clarissa and Troy who they truly are and how satisfying this threesome could be.
The length of Their Famous Dominant speaks to the amount of instruction that needs to take place in order for Trent Ramsey to educate his submissives, allowing them to absorb his guidance when it comes to the BDSM world that Trent dominates, but even after that foundation is laid, the emotional connections need to occur as well and that takes time for everyone to get comfortable and allow themselves to give into their sexual desires in both overwhelming and fulfilling ways.
Trent, Troy, and Clarissa’s journey does not follow a linear path; in fact, it starts and stalls, pushes and pulls, and moves in all different directions as all of them learn to traverse this new lifestyle and their connection becomes about so much more than sex.
Their Famous Dominate is exactly the type of ménage story that I’ve grown to love, partly because that kind of relationship is unique and their characteristics are anything but cookie cutter, but also because Nicole Edwards’ emotional storytelling and her multifaceted characters never fail to turn me on and make me truly understand that love is love, regardless of number or gender.
4.5 Poison Apples
My rating is really a 3.5, which is why I always say we need 1/2 star ratings. I must admit that it truly gives me pause to give it a 3.5 rating, because I absolutely adore Nicole Edwards books, I was so excited for Trent’s book, and I have enjoyed the other books in the Office Intrigue series, especially, Their Rebellious Submissive, but I had a connection issue with this installment. I had trouble connecting with Trent. Something was missing for me. I don’t know if it was the way he just demanded that Troy and Clarissa refer to him as Master instead of building up to being called that title by earning their respect and trust from having established a relationship with them or the fact that he didn’t seem to talk enough to Clarissa or Troy before issuing orders. Don’t get me wrong, the story was extremely well-written and the sexy times were enough to make you hop in the shower to cool off, as any Nicole Edwards’ book is, but I just needed a little more. I wanted more relationship building between Trent, Clarissa, and Troy, and esp. between Trent and Troy, since there had never been any indication that Trent would end up in a relationship like this from his appearances in the Club Destiny series. I also felt like I wanted more from Troy’s story. A lot of the times I felt like he was just there to satisfy both Trent and Clarissa. I absolutely loved Troy. Troy was my absolute favorite of the three. He was so sweet and giving, and let’s not forget gorgeous and sexy as all get out!!! Troy was the was the grounding agent between Clarissa and Trent, because Clarissa, who was going through a hard time, is very prideful and stubborn, and Trent who constantly issues orders, but fails to see his role in causing some of the problems they were facing. Troy definitley had his work cut out for him, and he handled it well.
Their Famous Dominant, the 4th installment in the Office Intrigue series by Nicole Edwards, is the story of Trent Ramsey, the famous actor who we first met in the Club Destiny series, Troy Shelton, Trent’s personal assistant, and Clarissa Tinsley, an attorney and friend of Xander and Mercedes Boone, and who we also first met in the Club Destiny series, finding their way to their happily ever after. One of the great things about this book is that you get each character’s POV in every chapter, so you are getting the story from all angles, and you get to experience how the events of the story are affecting each character. Another great thing about the book is the fact that there are so many surprise guest appearances by many of the characters we have come to know and love from her other series, as well as this one. I must admit that is one my favorite things about Nicole Edwards’ books, besides Nicole’s writing, is the interconnections of the characters. So, although I may not have been head over heels in love with this installment, I am so very excited for the next installment, Their Ruthless Sadist, because the glimpses of Zeke that we got in this book only piqued my curiosity 1000 folds for his story.
Seems like I have been waiting for this book since I met Trent Ramsey way back in Devotion. Every time his name has come up in one of our Author’s books it has only wet my appetite for what was to come when Trent’s book would finally hit release day. I always just knew in my heart of readers heart that Master Ramsey would be the one for Classia but oh my stars, our Author always finds a way to get to heart of each of her characters and make them so real, so honest…so true. I did not see that she was going to where she was with Troy and I am so happy it went there.
Life can lead you in unexpected places you just need to open yourself up and follow. Even if it unconventional…who cares. If you are happy that is all that matters. Look at Master Trent, Troy and Rissa…it took time and lots of communication and love and yes well you really need to read this book to find out how they get from Actor and Assistant to …. well you know. Can not wait for The Ruthless Sadist, Zeke’s story is next. Hang on we are going for a whip of a story I can already tell.
4.75 stars for – Their Famous Dominant – book four in the Office Intrigue series by Nicole Edwards. This is the book I have been waiting years for as it features the movie star Trent Ramsey whom we met a while back in the Club Destiny series. He has made numerous casual appearances in almost all of the series Ms. Edwards has written and it is finally time for his HEA. Hold on to your seats because Trent decided that while he has always known which female he has been wildly attracted to he has also decided to explore new found desires towards the one man in his life who he trusts implicitly. Trent’s book is a MMF ménage that is some of the sexiest stuff Nicole has written to date so reader be warned you may very well combust while devouring this one.
Troy Shelton has been Trent’s loyal assistant for the last three years going above and beyond whenever needed all for the man he calls a friend. While whispers and rumors have long circulated about the two of them being romantically involved Troy never gave any thought to them being possible. Troy who is openly bisexual can appreciate how attractive his boss is, but he has no understanding of the alternative lifestyle he leads.
Clarissa Tinsley is the perfect submissive and has prided herself on it for years. Yet she still can’t find the right person to take her on and become her full time dominant so she has held herself back and only played with people she feels safe with. Clarissa still has fond memories of the magical midnight kiss on New Year’s Eve by the elusive man she sees all over the tabloids. So when her closest friends set up a business meeting with a potential client she is shocked and delighted to find him as the one who shows up. Getting to know Trent on a personal level is going to be very interesting if she is willing to submit to this famous man.
I absolutely loved every single bit of this story from start to finish except for the epilogue. I am hoping with Zeke’s book right around the corner we will get a better sense of closure though. The story was beautifully written and weaved in between all three characters seamlessly to give you a true feel of togetherness. With Zeke and his boys up next I hope the Office Intrigue series has no end in sight!
Their Famous Dominant by Nicole Edwards is book four in her Office Intrigue Series. This book can easily be read as a standalone. Yes, there are a few cross-overs, but you can follow the storyline without problems.
The previous books are The Office Intrigue; Intrigued Out Of The Office; Their Rebellious Submissive and now Their Famous Dominant.
Trent Ramsey, yes The Trent Ramsey from Club Destiny Series gets his own book here.
Trent, the world famous actor and owner of a adult club, feels like he´s missing on life. He´s 35 years old and on top of the world. But he longs for something.
Troy Shelton is his trusted PA. He´s 300 years old and loves working for Trent. He craves something more than his current life, but can´t express what.
And then there´s Clarissa Tinsley. She´s a 32 yeár old lawyer, self employed, submissive but not a dorrmat, with a crush on Trent for a long time.
These three people could be so great together as triad and more – only all of them have issues and baggae that threatens to destroy their HEA.
While Troy is the easy going and my absolute favorite character, Trent and Clarissa are very difficult to get a grip on.
I started reading and was captivated from page one. I read the book in one sitting, I had to know what happens to the story and the characters. Definitely a pageturner!
I´m torn about Trent and Clarissa, their behavior was so unpredictable at times and at some point I was real angry at them. They had me in knots. I rooted strongly for their relationship, but on the other side, I knew it couldn´t work that way.
All in all, Nicole Edwards wrote a wonderful book with great characters I easily connected with. The writing is brilliant and I was hooked from the beginning. I recommend Their Famous Dominant and can´t wait to read the next book – Zeke´s story.
Trent Ramsey is more than Hollywood’s hottest star and a businessman, but I am also a dominant who wants more and I know what I want, the question is will they willingly submit to me. My assistant Troy and the woman who I can’t forget, Clarissa are all I am thinking about. I want them both but more than that I need them but the path is not an easy one. So freaking HOT!!! The scenes throughout this book melted my kindle and turned up the heat in the room. Nicole Edwards didn’t disappoint with this book and the journey back into her world of sexy dominates and willing submissives. Catching up with characters from previous books was an added bonus. This is book is a standalone and highly recommended.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
My name is Trent Ramsey. It’s possible you’ve heard of me. I’m on of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. Not only that, but I’ve built a vast empire of businesses, including tow of the hottest BDSM clubs on the map. My face has been plastered on big screens and magazines for over a decade. Plus, I’ve got more money than I know what to do with. At one point in my life, I thought that was enough to make me happy. So why am I not? Why have I found myself at a crossroad? It’s not like I don’t know what I want. I know exactly what I want. Or rather who. But it sin’t what you think. I’m not after a submissive who will fill the void No, it’s never that easy for me. I’m after two and they aren’t both submissive. In face, one happens to be my personal assistant, a man who has spent the past three years working alongside me, helping to manage my entire world. Although my mind has been set on one particular woman for so long, I can’t deny I have an overwhelming urge to dominate him too. Better yet, both of them together. At the same time.
If you have read any of the book in the Office Intrigue Series from Nicole Edwards, you have met Trent when the other characters go to the club. He is the owner and I am so excited that we get to read his story. Trent has it all, except for love really in his life. He has the fame and the fortune and has worked hard for all of it. He is also a Dom without a sub. But he isn’t so set on finding a submissive. He know exactly who he wants and that is Clarissa a woman that he has known for years and not been able to get out of his head. There is also Troy, his assistant that has worked by his side for the last three years. But he doesn’t want them separately he wants to dominate them together. I loved all the characters in this book and I loved that it was a menage story. These three fit together so perfectly it wouldn’t have been right for them not to have all found each other. This is a book that you do not want to miss. Nicole Edwards wrote the first menage book that I ever read and I am always so excited to get my hands on another one she has written.
I have to say that out of Nicole Edwards many series she has written, this is far on the top of my favorites list! Trent Ramsey is a huge movie star, millionaire, and a Dominant. After years of never having a meaningful relationship, or a submissive of his own, he has decided to make his life complete. Clarissa is a woman he had kissed on New Years Eve at one of the two BSDM clubs he owns, four years ago. And for years he could not get her out of his head. Troy is his Bi-Sexual Assistant, that he has grown very attracted to over the past year. Trent has never been with a man before, but he finally knows what he needs to complete himself. Both of them. He wants a menage relationship, and he wants both of them to be his submissives. Now to convince them that the three of them all together could be amazing!!!!!! And it is!!!!! You also get to meet Zeke! He will be the star in the 5th book in the series and I can not wait!
Their Famous Dominant is the fourth book in the Office Intrigue series by one of my favorite authors, Nicole Edwards. I have read almost all of her books and she always delivers the fantastic storylines, the incredible writing and the sexiness. It can be read as a standalone, but you will definitely have more fun if you have read the other books and The Club Destiny series. We have known Trent Ramsey for a long time. I wasn’t sure he would ever get his own book! But, man am I glad he did. It was worth the wait! Trent is rich, famous and the most sought after movie star in the business. His life is very public, but he’s not in the habit of hiding who he is. He’s a Dom. His lifestyle requires the control and he needs it to survive. He’s looking for a submissive to share his life with. Actually, he’s in the market for two of them. His sexy, personal assistant, Troy. And Clarissa, a woman he’s known for years and hasn’t been able to forget. He wants them both. He needs them both. But Troy is a man, the first man he’s ever has feelings for. Clarissa is independent, stubborn, but submissive to her core. He has his work cut out for him with these two. They are sexy, sweet, fun, but can the three of them make it work? It’s not going to be wildly accepted, does that matter? Can Trent show Troy and Clarissa that he can’t live without them before it’s too late? I loved this story! Threesomes are a hard situation, but add in the Dom/sub relationship and it’s even harder. Trent is sexy and knows what he wants, but he’s also vulnerable and it’s hard for him to trust people. Everyone seems to want a piece of him. Clarissa is so stubborn! Not gonna lie, I wanted to smack her a few times. She’s insecure and has a hard time trusting that Trent actually wants her. Now, Troy. Troy is my favorite. There was just something about him that called to me from the very beginning! I don’t know if it was his soulful eyes or his hilarious inner monologue. He’s new to the scene and had no idea what was going on! He’s sexy, sweet, dedicated and just so much fun! Overall, I laughed, cried, was seriously hot and bothered and I loved it. Trent’s story was everything I wanted it to be and more. I also loved all the new characters we met(ZEKE) and I loved seeing some old friends (XANDER!) I can’t wait for Their Ruthless Sadist!
Still, I had the overwhelming urge to please him. And I knew for a fact Trent Ramsey didn’t have a single submissive bone in his entire body, so I took that to mean I was definitely the submissive in this little test.
Do you know how long I’ve wanted Hollywood Heartthrob Trent’s story? I think FOREVER! Trent has never been able to find the submissive he needed to settle down for more than just a quick scene. But he’s been having those “feels” with his personal assistant Troy. But Trent has never been attracted to a guy before. AND then he also has some “feels” for Clarissa…a sub that he watched do a scene a few years ago. So why hasn’t Trent made any moves? Sigh. Trent… Anyway finally Trent decides it’s time to nail down not just one submissive but TWO submissives! I really loved how these three come together even though that road is not easy. The steam is dialed up to eleven and we get to catch up with some of our favorite people in Nicole Edwards’ series with crossover characters galore! I felt like oh…my family has all come together for a reunion! The story was maddening at times but sweet and kinky and oh so hot. We had a few teases of potential new stories and I really cannot wait to see who will be popping up to make me smile in the next story Nicole gives to us. I think we need some Walkers running around and I don’t know…some bad mafia boys too.
4.25-4.5 STARS
Actor Trent Ramsey takes on the starring role in this 4th installment to Nicole Edwards’ Office Intrigue series. First introduced in this author’s Club Destiny series, I’ve been waiting for Trent’s story for quite some time. Finally, his story landed on my Kindle, and I couldn’t have been more excited. Thankfully, Trent’s long-awaited story didn’t disappoint!
After years of lusting after the beautiful submissive Clarissa, Trent seizes an opportunity to finally make her his own. But Trent has been secretly harboring feelings for his personal assistant, Troy, as well. Although men have never been a part of Trent’s sexual repertoire, there’s just something about Troy that Trent finds enticing–that compels him to want to dominate the man who has been managing his world for the last 3 years. Hence, it’s not surprising when Trent sets out to make his lascivious desires a reality. But to do so, means convincing both Clarissa and Troy to be his subs. While Trent has never taken on a sub before—let alone two—he’s confident that this arrangement would be sexually gratifying for them all, should they agree. He just needs to draw out Troy’s submissive side and break down Clarissa’s defensive shield in order for it to work.
Regardless of her intense feelings towards Trent, Clarissa is initially reluctant to put her heart on the line. But a bi-sexual Troy is quickly on board—despite his naïveté when it comes to Dom/sub relationships. Eventually, Clarissa comes around, and their combined sexual chemistry is scorching hot! Whether it’s all three or a combination of two, their steamy exploits in and out of the bedroom is simply off the charts!!
Told in alternating POV’s, I enjoyed getting a glimpse inside each of these character’s heads. I loved that Trent took what he wanted and didn’t care what the outside world thought, refusing to allow others to dictate his actions. Clarissa, on the other hand, I found frustrating with regards to her ability to constantly erect walls and to remain detached. Getting inside her head really helped to diffuse that frustration somewhat, as I was better able to understand her choices a little bit more. And as for Troy… well, he quickly became my favorite in this sinful little trio. Although he was new to this type of submissive relationship, Troy was both eager and open to exploring all possibilities and quickly became the emotional glue binding them all together.
Steam factor aside, it’s the suspense element injected into this story that really held a special appeal for me, setting this Dom/sub story apart from similar stories of its kind. While I might have craved a tad more suspense, especially mid-way through when the story started to wane, overall, “Their Famous Dominant” was right on the mark. I connected with the characters emotionally, and the story’s conclusion hit all the right chords.
Although Club Destiny and Office Intrigue fans will, no doubt, enjoy cameo appearances by series’ favorites, “Their Famous Dominant” can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. In fact, it just might be my favorite of the Office Intrigue books, thus far.
It seems as though I’ve been waiting forever to read Trent Ramsey’s story. If you’re already a fan and reader of this author, you know Trent. We’ve been treated to snippets of him for quite a while, most notably in the Club Destiny series. But the reader has never been privy to what makes this man tick…until now.
Clarissa and Troy have also been introduced to us in the past, but in an even more peripheral way than Trent was. But not to worry, this one truly can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. While you may not totally get the ins and outs of how Chatter is run without reading the others in this series first, that is not central to this plot and not an issue if you want to jump in and read this book first. (The other books are amazing so I suggest you still eventually go back and read them, though!)
I cannot find the words to really express how much I love Troy. He is absolutely extraordinary! From the very beginning when his role is personal assistant to when he meets Clarissa in person to when he realizes the change that is happening in his relationship to Trent. He is so empathetic to all aspects of this non-traditional relationship and he just stole my heart. Troy’s “vanilla” existence also helps the reader, who may not have any idea of the truth behind a BDSM lifestyle, learn along with him to a certain extent.
Clarissa’s experience with BDSM is almost to her detriment. Because she’s never found the right Dom for her she has a lot of bad habits when fulfilling her role as a sub. Not that she’s even aware of this fact. Clarissa is aware that she is a sub and that is the lifestyle she needs and craves, but in her experience her interactions in the D/s scene have left her feeling empty instead of satisfied. When her issues are brought to her attention by Trent, in a loving way, she pushes back. Not because he is wrong or mean or accusatory, but because she is scared.
It’s scary to fall in love when you’re in a traditional relationship. Add in any sort of “other” and it makes it even harder. For Trent, Troy, and Clarissa there is a lot of “other” going on so it makes the navigation of their triangle quite precarious. On top of everything, Trent is always in the limelight with his celebrity status making things even more difficult.
While my heart ached for each of these characters at different points throughout this story, I enjoyed watching them all come into their own and find their true selves with each other. One of the observations I loved toward the beginning was how an interaction between the three of them had been awkward, yet still fun and felt right. The three of them found their home with each other and there’s nothing better than that.
Now, of course, I’m chomping at the bit to get Zeke’s story. He’s quite an intriguing man and we got to see his soft side in this story. It’ll be interesting to see the sadist side come out and see how he is able to meld them all into one.

https://allingoodtimeblog.wordpress.com/2018/07/31/their-famous-dominant-book-review/
I won’t lie, I havent’ read the last couple of books in the Office Intrigue series, though I have read the first. Nothing against the book, just a case of so many books, so little time.
I was happy to see that this book was about Trent Ramsey – if you have read the Club Destiny series, you have met him already, though if you haven’t Their Famous Dominant can be read as a stand alone.
Nicole Edwards books are always long, but there is so much going on in Their Famous Dominant that it is no surprise that this book is bigger again – it is like the length of 2.5-3 regular ebooks these days. But we needed it to be longer too.
Trent is a famous movie star, and a well known dominant. Clarissa is the woman who has been on his radar for a long time now. Troy is his personal assistant – who Trent wants to make things a lot more personal with, if you know what I mean!
I liked that this wasn’t just a regular D/s situation, that not all involved are experienced in the scene. There are so many things that our lovelies all need to work out amongst themselves before they could start their unconventional relationship.
And yes, their relationship is really unconventional, however it didn’t feel it. It didn’t feel awkward, it didn’t feel weird. It felt like love all around.
It was great to see some names from past books and series pop up.
Trent, Clarissa and Troy are all extremely likable – Troy particularly for me. There was no OTT drama (sure, there were issues but nothing too extreme) and the story flowed naturally. Nothing felt rushed or forced.
I am now going to have to find the time to go back and read the couple of books I have missed, and need a reread of the Club Destiny series. Is is wrong to ask for 36 hour days so I can fit them in?
I can’t wait to see what Ms Edwards brings us next.
Their Famous Dominant maybe book 4 in the Office Intrigue Series but it certainly can be read as a stand-alone, I was excited to read this book I was intrigued as to where Nicole Edwards would take us and how Trent Ramsey would be written into this brilliant series well this author gave me the perfect story I loved everything about it this book.
We meet Trent back in The Club Destiny Series and boy oh boy has this man grown in so many ways he is not only a very successful famous actor he is also a very famous dominant he may own two BDSM clubs but that doesn’t mean his life is complete for that he needs the woman who he has been on his radar for many years to come onboard with him and his assistant and that means she needs to admit everything she knows about submission may not be correct……..
As I said earlier I loved everything about this book for me this story felt real and I really believe this is how a real life D/s relationship would work so that alone makes it a great read. I loved that Trent knew what he wanted but he gave Clarissa time to let him know what she wanted. The characters in this book are so strong even when they show their weaknesses and even though this is a complicated story this author still made it a easy to read flowing book. Looking forward to more from this author
