Desire for Dominance
Book 1 of The Playhouse Series
“Let me worship you, please. I’d be such a good boy for you.”
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out relationships, but when Lily–an actual rocket engineer–decides to try something new, neither relationships nor rocket science prove to be easy. When her best friend Tala drags her to the local swinging club, Lily walks straight into a dungeon filled with leather, kinksters, and Mark.
Mark stretches on the cross, held by leather cuffs on his wrists and ankles, but Lily is the one that’s bound. He’s gorgeous, driven, and eager to show her the ropes. There’s only one problem: Lily is so new to the scene she’s not even sure what “the scene” is, let alone how to be a domme in one. He awakens her desire for dominance, but is it enough to satisfy the darkest of his needs?
Kinks and any warnings
I wanted to write a romance story grounded in the lives of every day kinksters. This includes mismatched kinks, negotiations, and consent at all times. I also wanted to write a book that introduces kink to the reader through the eyes of a character new to the scene in a way that is genuine and unrushed. My hope is that Lily and Mark take you on a journey that could happen to any one of us.

The safeword is gimbal, but to be sure we don’t cross any lines, let me give you a tiny dip into the novel. This is a spicy book, so I get into all the details of what goes where and how it feels. This is a kinky book, so I go into all the details about how that feels too. Kinks in this book include but aren’t limited to (in alphabetical order): Bratting, Breeding, Consensual Non Consent (CNC), Ethical (and maybe some questionable) non monogamy, Exhibition, Impact, Orgasm Control, Pet Play, Pussy Worship, and Voyeurism.
Now if that’s gotten your fingers wet, turn the page, and let’s go on an adventure.
Reviews for Desire for Dominance
“Another huge highlight for me was the author’s ability to authentically portray aspects of the lifestyle. Real-life BDSM dynamics come in all shapes and sizes and look different for each person, but core principles are foundational. To see everything from explaining terms to depicting scenes, safewords, and the intricacies of aftercare for both sides was refreshing.”
“I love that this book goes into the beginning of BDSM so it is great for beginner and experienced alike. Also, Mark is my new book boyfriend obsession”
“Desire For Dominance is Ally Marr’s debut novel and it was soooo good!
I’ve read quite a few BDSM books, but not all of them really seem portray it in a way that the real lifestyle should be. There’s not only the heavy smüt, There’s the education, the negotiations, the do’s and don’ts, the safe and healthy way it should be portrayed and I absolutely LOOOOVED that about this story. ”
“The writing style is wonderful, and I particularly enjoyed the emotional depth of the characters. Looking forward to more from this author.”
“If you’re here because you want to know if this book is worth it, let me save you time: YES!
Please! You will laugh, you will feel all the feels, you’ll be sad, you’ll celebrate, and most importantly, you will fall madly in love with these characters!
To the author, fantastic job bringing kink to the everyday person! I cannot wait to devour more!!! More Nick, more Tala, more Thorn… ahhhh!!!! Take me back to the Playhouse! <3”
“This is the first BDSM romance I’ve ever read that portrays the kink world in a genuine manner”
