ALFA Investigations #2.75
Top Bottom Switch
Ret North knows exactly who he is—a Dominant male with an insatiable sexual appetite. He’s always been a top, searching for his bottom…until a notorious switch catches his eye.
Alese Kane has grown tired of her usual partners. She’s been watching Ret for months, wanting to run her tongue along his hard muscles. But his need for total control stops her.
Ret worries that a relationship with Alese would be impossible, but his giant ego and even larger cock tell him otherwise. Unable to deny his attraction to her any longer, Ret convinces Alese to submit to him.
When Ret dominates Alese, will she submit or will she top from the bottom?

I really enjoyed my first read from Chelle Bliss. Quite impressive for a novella. I was a bit pessimist with the title and blurb because I thought there will be 'switch' involved which is not my thing. But, when I started to read for a few chapters, I enjoyed it very much.
Ret is a dominant without submissive because he wants real connection and something long-term. Not only sex. Alese was well-know for being a switch and she was caught Ret's attention. However, Alese wasn't sure if she's submissive or dominant so she tried to take both role. Ret offer to help Alese search her role but being Ret's submissive and their journey begins.
Both Ret and Alese aren't newbie in the BDSM world. Even they're not looking something permanent, but their heart said otherwise. They're only acquaintance which is didn't know each other deeply. When Ret wants to help Alese search her role, he's waiting patiently until they're comfortable each other and ready for the next step. Patient is one of the most important thing. Rushing into things when not okay will lead into disaster. After, they're step into the real play, trust has to be earn from the submissive which is Alese trust him. Another thing I enjoyed is their play isn't lightweight. They're quite expert and really kinky which is made me learn about new 'stuff'.
Unfortunately, because of the time skip, I hardly know both of them outside the BDSM club. They have insta-love in the end. For a novella, this was quite expected because I think the purpose is to find Alese's true submission towards Ret. The bonus was their happily ever after, of course. Ret found his dream submissive in Alese.
I really liked the story because it was promising and focused. In real world, BDSM isn't easy like this but I loved the premise. This case was quite close enough, I think. Also trust is hard to give and a real dominant has to earn from the submissive :)

Ret is a Dom looking for a connection with his submissive but hasn’t found the right woman yet. At the club, Ret’s reputation for being an exacting but fair Dom precedes him.
Alese is a teacher by day but also a submissive who is unsure about whether she is naturally a sub or a switch. Based on her previous experiences in either position, they were failures in every way and her ability to trust others and her instincts has waned.
One night, Ret witnesses a nasty encounter between Alese and another club Dom who didn’t respect any of her limits. Needless to say, Alese is distraught but Ret is able to comfort and talk with her about what occurred and what she really needs. Based on his previous observations, Ret is convinced Alese is a submissive through and through and asks her permission to prove it.
From that point, Ret and Alese form a bond based upon mutual trust. Ret’s lessons, starting with simple obedience, a variety of sex toys and orgasm denial, are beyond hot and Alese is more than willing to heed her Dom’s commands.
As Ret continues with Alese’s training, they realize there is more to their Dom/sub connection than they originally thought. For Alese, feeling accepted and cherished is important to her and Ret becomes head over heels for his submissive.
Overall, this novella was a fast and hot read. The alternating POVs offered a chance to understand both characters, especially given the story’s length. From the beginning, I really liked Ret and enjoyed how Alese’s character evolved. The sticking point for me was the end because it was just too insta-love. Maybe I just selfishly wanted more dungeon lessons for Alese, but the ending felt a little abrupt. Chelle Bliss is a new author to me and I enjoyed her style of writing. I will look forward to reading other books by this author.
Sidenote: I am confused by the bookcover. In no way is Ret anything other than a Dom, but before I started this book, the cover left me with the impression that he might be the switch rather than Alese.

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
Chelle Bliss has turned up the heat in her newest erotic novella, TOP BOTTOM SWITCH. Pardon my language but this book was H-O-T as fuck!!!!! The only complaint I have is that it was too short and I wanted more. **hint hint Chelle Bliss...I need more of Ret North and Alese Kane***
“Pushing thirty has me reevaluating my life. I no longer want a plaything. I want a lover, a partner , and the one who completes me.”
If BDSM romances are not your thing, then I’m sorry because you are truly missing out on reading one sexy and tantalizing read. Ms. Bliss has sinfully delivered a seductive read that was erotic, sensual, and titillating. In this salacious novella, we are introduced to Ret North, a dominant male who is searching for the right submissive to catch his eye. Alese Kane happens to be the one that intrigues him sexually and his dominant ways. And so begins, Ret and Alese’s Dom/Sub relationship of trust, play and of course sex. Alese will soon discover that she is indeed a submissive and was just waiting for the right Master to fulfill her sexual need.
What is there left to say but go get those #oneclick fingers ready because you definitely don’t want to miss out on this hot erotic novella. So if you are looking for a little kink to spice up those e-readers then look no further than TOP BOTTOM SWITCH.

3 stars for this short and sexy story!
I actually loved that this was a novella. It was what I was looking for and needed. However, I wanted just a tiny bit more from the couple. This story is basically foreplay. The story is super hot, but they only have sex twice in the book (at the very end) and it is completely glazed over and not detailed. He also never kissed the heroine until the last page!
So, I guess if you like foreplay of the BDSM variety this book is perfect for you. I just needed a little more is all...

Welllllll. It passed the time on break at work well enough. Unfortunately I can't say much else positive about it. But I can say that it dealt with consent, boundaries, and limits well. There are FAR too many books that claim to be erotic, but confuse being dominant with being a rapey jackass.
Really, this novella's downfall for me is the switch aspect. The main conceit of the novel is that Alese is a switch, but that really isn't represented on page. There also isn't much to this besides the sex. Y'all know I'm always showing love to my smutty-smutsville shelf, but my favorites in the genre have developed characters, a plot that doesn't feel like background noise, and also great sex. (See Beyond Shame, Asking for It, Trinity)
There's also this:
Rolling the condom down my shaft becomes a chore; the damn thing barely fits.
And finally I BEG OF YOU please please please, don't wear a buttplug to work.
Especially if you are a teacher.

Top Bottom Switch is deliciously dirty, a naughty novel that dominates you from head to toe. Captivating. Controlling. Combustible. You’ll submit again and again to this sexy and scintillating story. Panties are optional.
Dark-haired, blue-eyed, tall, and muscular Ret is looking for a woman to dominate inside the bedroom. An alluring alpha, Ret is bored with the usual submissives and wants a sassy siren. Someone who could possibly be game for the long ride. A permanent partnership.
“I don’t need a drink. I need a submissive to end my hunger.”
I’m licking my lips as, suddenly, I’m very hungry.
“I smirk, loving the face a woman makes when she comes. There’s nothing sexier than watching someone shatter.”
My panties are shattering now. My body is shaking. My temperature is heating. Oh Ret. This man is every woman’s’ fantasy. Sex on a stick used to smack that booty.
Blonde-haired and blue-eyed beauty, Alese, has been internally scarred and physically hurt from being a submissive, abused by her last Dom. She is close to giving up the dom-sub life. Her confidence? A big zero.
Alese has always crushed on the confident dom, Ret, who parades through The Club like hew owns the place. The King of Kink. Little does Alese know that this King wouldn’t mind claiming Alese as his Queen. Ret knows Alese is emotionally beaten from being hurt by a mean man pretending to be a dom, and is ready to show her what a real dom can do. One who care about his partner…his sub.
Alese is an eager student ready to learn and sample the man candy named Ret.
“After months of secretly watching Ret, I’ve had my first taste and I want more.”
Oh sweat and swoon! I want more of Ret too. Ret is sinfully sexy and takes women to the peak of pleasure. He is a sex master and one tantalizing teacher. His dirty talk teases and taunts, and wets and wants.
“You’ll get to come. Your greedy cunt will need to at some point. But I want to own every orgasm you have.”
Alese and Rets’ chemistry is off the charts hot. Sizzle and sensation. Fire and fantasy. Ret and Alese are the perfect sub-dom couple. Their bodies are attuned to one another and fit like a glove. A physical match made in heaven.
Ret’s helping Alese gain confidence and Alese is the perfect sub for whom Ret has been searching. The problem? Their relationship is temporary. A quick fix to get Ret’s head and heart back into the dom-sub game and good dom to boost Alese’s confidence in men again. Lines are blurred when the sub-dom relationship bleeds into the real world.
“I realize this is only temporary. He’s helping me find myself…What if I want more? What if I want this to be longer?”
Top Bottom Switch is one short but oh-so-sexy story that packs a lot of steam for its size. Chelle Bliss dares to be different from her usual but beloved inked and muscular ultimate alphas, diving into the dominant-submissive lifestyle with a blaze of fire that sparks desire and fans fantasies during this whole redolent ride. Top Bottom Switch is an enticing escape that’s achingly addictive, alluring, and adventurous. I can’t wait to see what wonderfully wild ride Chelle Bliss takes me on next.

This author's writing is appealing, but there wasn't really enough depth to fuel a story or connect with the characters.
June 28, 2016
Just my feelings .... But I hated it...
I feel kinda gypped really, the description I read made me think of a totally different story than what I just read ;( Both the title and the description mention a " Switch" ( some one who is equally versed and comfortable as BOTH a Dom./Domme and a sub.)and then lead to believe said "Switch" is possibly going to try and "Top" from the "Bottom& possibly... Ok.. BS!!! 1st Alese is NOT ,I REPEAT NOT!!! Not a "Switch" ,she's a very confused 27 yr.old woman ,who seems to have very little conference in herself and what she wants ,especially between her age,and experience w/kink and how lucky big she's been at it... Yes,the book starts off w/ her coming off a rather nasty exp. w/a rather d bag of a Dom. but after being at this for a year or more it seems A.) maybe just maybe she should have a better sense at judging ppl/sizing them up ,just a tad... And it seems she should know what did she falls on by now... Sub. Or Dom. ? I'm afraid ppl might think I'm being too harsh ,any while normally / maybe only BDSM books w/female Dommes and male sub.s are my thing ( because I definitely know that m NOT the submissive type) but this as not the book described,the sound like it be full of interesting by play from two confident sexy self assured ppl,both wanting dominance at times and maybe,just maybe She was gonna be on top... But NO ,we get a scared and seemingly insecure woman who seems totally clueless as the what she is or truly wants and ( fake lil girl voice here) Needs a Big strong Dom./man to be patient and give her near constant commands to wear a butt plug all day one week and then after they get together finally to "play" ( which mainly involves toys,commands and her playing w/herself) ( O joy!)( coz nothing turns me on like reading a about a some woman being command to use toys to diddle herself) O for Joy) right ;( then the next week her being commanded to wear a plug during the day and the bullet at night and she better be ready w/selfie proof for his greedy horny hands.... Geez,No interesting by play here just a control happy man giving a woman commands and her jumping thru hoops to follow... Wow the excitement ;( and Ret well, he starts off watching a friend play w/his sub. , showing his control over her by fingering in front of Ret, more fun, while Ret sees Alese and gets a hard on from her tears.. WTH ?!?? Ret was just weird to me one minute, he supposedly wants to punch out the guy who treated Alese soo badly the next he's somehow saying in his head ( is their anything sexier than ruined mascara after a woman has been crying) ( again WTF /H?!?!) I know he's into kink,but that thought was weird and pervy to me) we never really get to know either of them it's almost all about him giving commands and her following them,even at the end when they tell each other they love each other he then commands her to get naked and then how to position herself so "he make love to her".... Ugh... Aaaaaaaa No, to me , you don't "make love" via command.... It should feel tender and touching,it should feel like an expression of love and at least for me you don't "Love" via command.... At least not in that moment... Just another "do as I say/command" BDSM male Dom. book.... I'm hated it partly because this sorta thing is sooo not for me,too many triggers from my past to enjoy it, but really burnt my biscuits was how MISLEADING everything was,she wasn't a SWITCH or even interesting and she NEVER tried to top her m he was in control from the get go... I like my descriptions like I like my ppl , to say what they mean! And Mean what they say!

Ret North is a Dom without a Submissive. Previously content on playing while at The Club, he finds himself wanting something more. To make someone his. Enter Alese Kane. Alese is struggling to find her footing in the world of kink. When submitting doesn’t seem to work out for her, she figures that maybe her problem is that she is really a Domme, but nothing about either role seems to fit. Until one night when Ret North approaches a shaken up Alese.
He’s certain that under the right Master, Alese’s true submissive nature can thrive. Although he has some misgivings about approaching a relationship with the novice, he can’t seem to stop himself from offering up his services to show her exactly what it truly means to submit.
TBS was fuck hot. The only thing I can say about this book that is not raving about how sensational it is, is that I wanted more. I could have read about these two playing for days on end and not be bored. I am excited to see what will come with this series, and really would love to see some bonus sexy scenes featuring some fantasies from these two.
If you enjoy a BDSM book that is not over the top in the kink antics, but still remains honest to the lifestyle, this is YOUR book. Steamy, seductive and full on a one-handed read. Chelle Bliss was a new to me author about 30 days ago and I just can’t stop myself from reading everything she writes. Now I’m out of books. Now I’m sad.

This was an okay read. The story opened with the lead male character observing a friend giving pleasure to his girlfriend in The Club. Ret's dialogue seemed kind of stiff in the beginning until the reader got to Alese's POV. From there the story picked up some more steam.

I read this for one reason, to get my smut and bdsm fix all in one package. It didn't really do the trick but it was still was a good story. Alese is not a switch, so its a little misleading.

I would have loved more details about the characters. There was not enough details for me to connect with them.

This novella is a part of The Club series, a multi-author project chronicles the relationships and exploits of the members of an exclusive BDSM club in Karim, Texas. Each novella is written by a different author and follows a different couple. Top Bottom Switch by Chelle Bliss is Master Ret and Alese’s story.
“I no longer want a plaything, I want a lover, a partner, and the one who completes me.”
Master Ret has grown bored. He is no longer finding the spark or the thrill in his playtime with the submissives at The Club, and even worse, he’s not really having fun anymore either. Witnessing the easy and satisfying relationship between his friend and fellow club dominant, Misha, and his submissive, Stella, sparks a longing in Ret as he finds himself wanting something more fulfilling and permanent for himself.
“…she is submissive, but she hasn’t admitted it to herself.”
Alese is floundering in her sexuality, and she’s unable to find her footing as either a submissive or a domme. She can’t fully put her trust in any of the dominants she’s played with enough to let go and enjoy the experience nor does she have the commanding presence to fulfill the role of a domme. On the heels of yet another disastrous play session at The Club, Alese is presented with a proposal from Master Ret. Will she be able to put her trust in him and find what she’s looking for?
“…I know what I want, and I want you…”
This was a very, very quick read, but man did it pack a seriously sexy punch! For such a short book, it was very, very long on sexy details as it delved into the dynamic between a Dominant and a submissive. Be warned, though, that this novella explicitly details that lifestyle, so if that isn’t your thing, this won’t be either. But if it is, and you’re looking for a quick escape to into a sinfully sexy world, Top Bottom Switch will fill that role perfectly. 4 smooches from me!

“I no longer want a plaything, I want a lover, a partner, and the one who completes me.”
Master Ret has grown bored. He is no longer finding the spark or the thrill in his playtime with the submissives at The Club, and even worse, he’s not really having fun anymore either. Witnessing the easy and satisfying relationship between his friend and fellow club dominant, Misha, and his submissive, Stella, sparks a longing in Ret as he finds himself wanting something more fulfilling and permanent for himself.
“…she is submissive, but she hasn’t admitted it to herself.”

Writing: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★
Characters: ★★★★
Overall rating: 4.3
This was a quick hot read. A straight up BDSM novella.
This was a short book at 125 pages, can't do a lot of world building, and has to move quickly. It stuck to the specifics of Ret and Alese, didn't waver from the goal of the book, which was to show how a Dominant can help a submissive learn about who she is. But yes, it was very fast.
First night, just talking after she's had a bad scene, and they are talking D/s relationship and one week in and she's calling him "Master". That was a sticking point with me. Shoulda stuck to "Sir" for this short story.
I would totally recommend this book to those wanting a hot BDSM read over their lunch.. or in the tub at night by candle light. :)

While I did enjoy the book, it was basically "cookie cutter" of every other BDSM out there. There was no real "hook" to the book. And for that I've taken off one star.

Pure Bliss!!!
In a market flooded with wannabe authors offering books from the weird to the wonderful, readers are occasionally treated to stories which take them far away from the humdrum of everyday life. For me, Chelle Bliss is an author whose writing embraces me like a comfort blanket and helps me to find that ultimate escape into a fantasy-land unlike no other.
In Top Bottom Switch, Chelle’s storytelling took me into a world which challenges the norm. For me, kinky stories that embrace the BDSM lifestyle are approached cautiously rather than emphatically and, unless I find comfort in the characters, I can often find myself finding displeasure at the expense of the characters’ pleasure. I need a Dom and their Sub to work together in harmony rather than in a tentative and uncomfortable manner but thankfully, Ret and Alese were a match destined to be bound together. Ret was smooth in his dominance and despite his fierce reputation, he handles the damaged Alese sensitively and helps her to find what she has unknowingly been looking for.
I will never be a self-professed expert in all things BDSM so I can't comment on the authenticity the scenes and Club Life but what I found was an entertaining story which spanked the reticence out of me whilst Ret sets about making Alese his. Their connection was most assuredly felt throughout the story as readers follow them on a journey of self-exploration and a testing of boundaries. Despite how Ret and Alese’s story commences, it is quickly apparent that this is a love story; just one borne from a less conventional lifestyle. Ret was strong but tender and Alese was more than receptive to his demands, administrations and kinky challenges.
The only problem with this book, and it was a big problem for me….. it was just too short. I knew it was only a novella but having connected and started to love the characters, I was really disappointed when their story jumped to the epilogue. Readers are offered the chance to vote at the end of the book for more from Ret, Alese and The Club so another instalment could certainly be on the cards. (Fingers crossed!!!)
This book took Chelle’s storytelling into a more sexually oriented direction but she more than rose to the challenge in Top Bottom Switch. I found the story fascinating, but not titillating, and the kink was balanced out by a simple but yet strong storyline. You certainly get a lot of bang for your buck in this story!

4.5 stars
I have had this author's books on my TBR for ages but aside from another brief story in the Night Shift anthology, I haven't found the time to work them into my reading rotation. After reading this novella, I really need to fix that situation!
Ret has been feeling more and more unsettled lately when he goes to the Club. Play has been leaving him unfulfilled and for the first time ever, he is thinking about finding a permanent submissive. Alese has always intrigued him but she seems to be confused about what type of relationship she is seeking. He may be just the guy to help her discover her true desires.
Alese enjoys the Club but she has yet to find anyone she truly clicks with. She has dabbled in Domme classes but she freezes when it comes to taking control. When a scene with an inexperienced Club member goes badly, Ret is there to comfort her and make her an offer: give him a chance to earn her trust and he will show her exactly who she longs to be.
Top Bottom Switch was one of the rare novellas I have read that felt like a complete story despite the shortened length. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see more Ret and Alese in the future! They were both fun and really hot together, and Ret's occupation could lead to an interesting full length story. I have read quite a few BDSM stories and compared to many of those other books, Ms. Bliss did an excellent job drawing me in and ratcheting up the heat especially with the shortened page count she was working with. Top Bottom Switch is most definitely worth the 1-click!

Top Bottom Switch by Chelle Bliss
Ret & Alese
HOLY FREAKIN' HOT
5 Mutha Effin' Stars
Holy freakin' hell... this petite novella is a little damn firecracker! It's packs quite a punch for such a short story. I read this in one sitting (maybe 2 hours) and it had me laughing, cringing, and fanning myself and girly bits. Pick it up today and don't wait to read it. Read it NOW!
Ret is 6'4" for godsakes. Need I say more? He's a Dom with a dilemma. He's not pleased with his current situation and the prospects seem bleak. As luck would have it, Alese seems to be in a similar situation. Hmmmm... what could happen?
Alese is not sure where she fits into this BDSM lifestyle. Should she train to be a Domme or should she explore her options in being a Submissive? After a bad situation gets worse, I think she's ready to throw in the towel. That is until Ret steps in!
These two have great chemistry and Chelle brings that out on these pages. The storyline is brief, but to the point. The dialogue flows and feels natural. The pacing is quick and direct. I loved this novella and I love Ret. I don't care what Cat Mason says, that boy is MINE!

Excuse me for a moment while I go change my panties.
Okay I am back. Holy hell Top Bottom Switch is what I love in a BDSM book, and even though this was a novella I was not left unfulfilled by any means. Ret and Alese will have you reaching for your significant other, your favorite toy, or if you are in public (like I was) have you squirming in your seat.
We start off with Ret being what a Dom should be, protective, dominating, perceptive, and above all caring when it comes to a sub’s well-being. I believe that Ret and Alese was a perfect match, even though at first she swore she was a switch, Ret knew instinctively that she was submissive and knew he wanted to play with her. Watching the dynamic between these two play out was hot, intense and if you know anything about this type of relationship or have knowledge of BDSM, it was beautiful. A Dom finding his sub, a sub finding her true place, and a trusting relationship forming is truly moving.
Top Bottom Switch by the talented Ms. Bliss is a must read if you are looking for something hot and sexy to read or if you are a fan of hers I hope you will all check this one out.

This had the potential to be a great book but unfortunately it was too short and felt unfinished. Chelle Bliss is an amazing author and I'm a huge fan of her books and she definitely nailed the BDSM aspect of the book but it felt like it was missing the depth of the story. Ret is a Dominant and he's a member of The Club and lately he's bored with the same partners. Alese joined The Club and is trying desperately to be a Domme but she is horrible at it. During a scene she can't make simple decisions and freezes up when it comes to telling someone what to do. Ret knows Alese is really a submissive and thinks only the right partner will bring that out in her. After an incident at the Club leaves Alese feeling frustrated Ret proposes they slowly start a D/s relationship together.

This book reminds me of a hot nooner, over much too soon but oh, so hot.
The main characters of Ret and Alese are compelling. This novella was a fast hit to the system. I would love to read more about their journey as it hits you like a blast of reading adrenaline.
Chelle has another hit on her hands. The characters are fun and sinfully delicious, everything you come to love and expect.
Two thumbs up, way up. Ladies, get those extra batteries out!

Holy shit this book was hot. It was short but doesn't lack heat. Ret hasn't found a sub that lights a fire in him and Alese isn't quite sure if she wants to be a Sub or a Domme. Alese has always wanted Ret and now she gets her chance. Ret wants to show her how it can be to submit. Will Alese & Ret find what they both need? I love Ret & Alese and I'm hoping there will be more.

Just okay. I liked the characters...but this book stopped early on into their relationship. So, it didn't really draw me in very much.

Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars
Chelle Bliss certainly knows how to write and thoughtfully craft a story that packs the best kind of punch. Her books are always well written, easy to sink right into, and they pack the best amount of heat and connection between the dynamic characters she creates. I have really enjoyed reading all of her stories, and Top Bottom Switch was no exception. This book was exceptionally heated, to the point that I think I blushed in the best way while reading it. This story also had two characters I immediately loved, and wanted to know more of. From the very first page of this story I was hooked into everything I was reading, and it was a truly enjoyable read.
This novella is part of The Club series, and each story is by a new author and follows a new couple in the same BDSM club. This story follows Ret and Alese, two people who are both searching for that right person to share their lifestyle with. They both know what they do and don't like, and they're searching for that person that completes all of their wants and desires. This novella follows their story together as they embark on a wickedly hot and passionate story together as they see if they're meant to be. Their story in Top Bottom Switch is full of them, their proclivities, and soon these two find that they might have just stumbled upon the exact right person.
What I loved about this story was that it was so easy to jump right into. Chelle Bliss puts you right in the thick of it in the best way. She connects you right away to the story and to what these characters are thinking and feeling. She puts you with them throughout this entire story in the best way. She lets you be there in the moments when they first start to look at each other, she lets you feel for them, and through it all she sweeps you up in the electric heat and sparks they share, and it makes this story so fantastic to read.
I truly can't rave enough about Ret and Alese, and how heated and steamy what they share is. I truly could not get enough of it, and it pushed me in the best way right along with them. Along with that heated connection it is also obvious that they feel a little something more for each other. Chelle Bliss did a phenomenal job of balancing that heat and emotional connection they share in this story, and experiencing all of that just made me love them more. The more I read this story and the more I jumped into it all with them, the more I couldn't get enough. Their story is so fulfilling and so enjoyable to read, and it made for such an outstanding read.
If you're looking for a quick, satisfying read that will push your boundaries in the best possible way, then you need to read this story. It was such a great read that gave me two wonderful and distinctive characters to love to pieces. And the heat y'all....the heat in this book is everything, and it will make you blush and melt and practically pant, and it works so damn well. So seriously, read this book and love every perfectly heated and damn good word of it!

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Having fallen in love with Chelle Bliss's writing from the moment I met the Gallo family, I never turn down an opportunity to step into one of her fictional worlds and discover new characters to fall in love with. So the moment Top Bottom Switch was introduced, I was giddy with excitement to be thrust into this darker world where pleasure knows no bounds and props are used to ratchet up the need and ecstasy. Chelle takes us on an enlightening, intense journey to Karim, Texas to meet Ret in Alesa in the midst of a sex club and learn how dominance, submission, trust, and love go hand in hand. Ret and Alesa are eye opening, pulse spiking entertainment that will have you ready to visit again and again. Get ready for a book full of moans, flushed cheeks, and downcast eyes.
Ret North wants all the control but also desires a woman who will challenge him with her saucy mouth and keep him on his toes. He is quickly becoming bored with the submission of the women at the club and finds himself craving a playmate on a more permanent basis who is strong yet chooses to yield to him. When he experiences Alesa's fit of outrage towards an out of control dom, she peaks his curiosity and libido and leaves him with a need for her submission. Is she ready to give up control and can she be the playmate that he has been searching for? Ret's dominance was exciting, arousing, and had me begging to be his. With every command he gave Alesa, the hotter the story and the closer to submission his defiant little Alesa was. I melted a little more every time he referred to her as his piccola...sigh! Chelle had me wishing for a Ret of my very own!
Alesa gives a whole new meaning to feisty and submissive. She loves kink but isn't quite sure whether she is dominant or submissive so she has become a switch. That is until she meets Ret and decides to try submitting to him with the possibility of continuing and becoming his. But can she truly give herself to him and trust that it will free her sexually? Alesa is a woman after my own heart. She has a mind of her own and is extremely independent. I loved watching her learn that there is a new boss in town in charge of her pleasure that will bring her to heights she has never experienced before.
Chelle Bliss delivers a book even steamier than any of her others so if you are a Chelle Bliss fan get ready to be tied down and given endless hours of pleasure by Ret and Alesa. Top Bottom Switch will take you places you haven't been before and have you falling for this couple that is giving into their desire and fighting for control. I highly recommend for a read that will steam up your glasses, melt your kindle, and leave third degree burns on both your fingers and heart. Chelle has turned the heat up and invited us into the world of dominance with sexy gadgets and a scorching hot couple! Top Bottom Switch is a must read that will leave you yearning for more Ret and Alesa.

KATHRYN'S REVIEW
4 STARS
Top Bottom Switch is a novella, featuring Ret and Alese.
Ret is looking for more from his interactions with his submissive partners. He wants a partner, and a relationship that is both fulfilling and permanent.
Alese can't decide if she is a Domme or a sub. She struggles to find a partner she can completely connect with and give her trust to.
This is a kinky, sensual, sexy and erotic novella that delves deeply into the BDSM lifestyle, and the connection the partners share! Top Bottom Switch is incredibly well written, something i've come to expect from Chelle Bliss. The story is captivating, the play scenes are completely enthralling and erotic. Overall a very engaging story line, that I would have given five stars if it had been a bit longer, and more of their relationship had been shared. I really hope that this couple appears in future books and their story continues.
GINA'S REVIEW
3.5 STARS
This is a super, quick novella from Chelle Bliss. The story is very straight forward and to the point. There isn't much else that happens in the story. The Club is a sex club with Ret as a Dom and Alese as his Sub. The story was a little short for me. I really wanted more and could see the potential for more. I did think the story was well written with a little bit of drama and a lot of hotness. If you are looking for a quick read that is super hot featuring a Dom and his Sub, this could be a good book for you.

I'm a newbie to this author and I wasn't sure what to expect.
I don't usually read novellas just because these books always seem rushed, the action and chemistry between the two main characters not allowed to develop completely. And I can say that this book isn't any different.
I did enjoy the interaction between the H and h. And I also appreciated the fact that the author explained that these two people weren't strangers, but had known each other in passing.
I'm kind of "old fashioned" so I don't really understand the concept of playing BDSM games with someone you don't know. So the fact that Alese and Ret though not actually friends but a little more than acquaintances was wonderful.
When Alese came bursting upon the pages, I gasp because of the situation she found herself in. And I cheered when the men of this club came to her rescue.
Ret...if there were ever a man that would make me want to explore this kind of lifestyle, it would be him. He's so careful and so caring of Alese and her feelings. The fact that he puts his wants and needs behind hers...that's a real man right there.
Top Bottom Switch is a stand alone with a HEA, but I just felt like there could have, should have been more for these two people.
And if I read right, there just might be.

Top Bottom Switch is a novella, featuring Ret and Alese.
Ret is looking for more from his interactions with his submissive partners. He wants a partner, and a relationship that is both fulfilling and permanent.
Alese can't decide if she is a Domme or a sub. She struggles to find a partner she can completely connect with and give her trust to.
This is a kinky, sensual, sexy and erotic novella that delves deeply into the BDSM lifestyle, and the connection the partners share! Top Bottom Switch is incredibly well written, something i've come to expect from Chelle Bliss. The story is captivating, the play scenes are completely enthralling and erotic. Overall a very engaging story line, that I would have given five stars if it had been a bit longer, and more of their relationship had been shared. I really hope that this couple appears in future books and their story continues.

This is a super, quick novella from Chelle Bliss. The story is very straight forward and to the point. There isn't much else that happens in the story. The Club is a sex club with Ret as a Dom and Alese as his Sub. The story was a little short for me. I really wanted more and could see the potential for more. I did think the story was well written with a little bit of drama and a lot of hotness.

Top Bottom Switch by Chelle Bliss is a standalone erotic novella that is set in the world of 'The Club', a shared universe where a variety of authors have each written their own standalone novellas.
In Chelle's story, we have Ret North, a Dominant, well known among the patrons of The Club, who has started to lose interest. Lately, and rather disconcertingly, regardless who he acts out a scene with, it just isn't doing it for him the way it used to.
Alese Kane is what's known as a 'switch'. Having joined The Club to explore her submissive streak, she finds herself struggling to truly let go with any of the partners that she's chosen so instead has tried to learn to become a Dom to see if that's where her true nature lies, but perhaps even more so, seems unable to fully immerse herself into that role either.
After a rather nasty encounter and a public confrontation, Alese is just about prepared to walk away from the whole thing, beginning to doubt that she'll ever find the perfect niche where she fits in with her particular kink.
Ret on the other hand is quite sure that all she needs to fully embrace her own submissive nature is the right Master, and he's just elected himself for the job.
What follows is more than just a series of steamy sequences where these two burn up the pages, though it certainly is that. Hidden beneath however, is a very human story of two people building the trust needed for them to be able to explore the kind of relationship that both secretly desire. A relationship that isn't just about acting out taboo fantasies with a stranger, but about respect acceptance, understanding and possibly even love.
I loved how Chelle built the tension between these two, yet balanced that with the underlying desire that each had for the possibility of finding something more than either had ever experienced before

5 star Review Top Bottom Switch (The Club) by Chelle Bliss
I have voraciously read anything written by Chelle Bliss and I was so excited to hear about this latest addition. I happen to love the BDSM genre and wow, Ms. Bliss knocked it right out of the park. Although this is not a particularly long read (a Novella) it is HOT HOT HOT!!!
This is the story of Ret North, a much sought after Dominant at The Club, known for the fact that he doesn’t want a committed relationship. Alese Kane doesn’t know whether she is a Domme or a submissive.
After a scene Alese is a part of goes horribly wrong, Ret decides that it is time to show her who she truly is, a submissive. The fact that Alese has wanted Master Ret for so long only ignites the flames.
I love BDSM stories, the kinkier the better and Ms. Bliss did not disappoint. I was riveted from page one and in fact read it in one go. I just couldn’t put it down. The storyline was believable and extremely well written; both Ret and Alese were characters that I could easily relate to and I thoroughly enjoyed their story.
I loved this book. The heat and emotions are intense and don’t be surprised if you get burnt as you read. I love kink and there was certainly kink to this book. There were some extremely stimulating and panty melting moments reading this book.
Ret and Alese are perfectly matched, their chemistry scorching and my only concern with this book was the length, I just wanted it to continue on and hopefully it will.

That was fucking hot! Top Bottom Switch is the first book I have read by Chelle and I want to kick my own ass for that. I will be watching out for future releases. This might have been a novella but it was full of heat, and heart.
Ret has grown bored of his sex life. He wants more than just a submissive for the night. He wants to find a submissive he could be a Dom to for the rest of his life. He doesn't just want a delicate flower that doesn't have a backbone, he wants one with some feistiness that makes his cock twitch. And when he sees Alese, a switch, he wants her. He wants to show her who she really is...a submissive through and through.
Alese might be a switch but she has craved Ret's touch for the last few months. She fights between being a sub and a Domme but she knows Ret is all Dom. But when he shows interest in showing her what he can bring into her life, she agrees to his terms. To be his sub for the next week. To show her that she is nothing but a submissive that doesn't like to give up control. That she just hasn't found the right man to trust. To give her what she craves...
Have Ret and Alese met their perfect match? Can Alese give up her control or will she bring Ret to his knees and show him her Domme side?
Ok...if you want a fast paced hot as fuck read, this is it!! There is also some heart to the story. The perfect combo in my book.
Quotes:
“I think I can make you realize exactly who you are.”
“I won’t go beyond your limits, but I will test your boundaries.”
“Eyes on me, piccola.”
