I'm a retired 45-year-old Puerto Rican wife and mother of 3 plus 1 bonus daughter. Originally from NYC, now living a quiet life in the south suburbs of Chicago. I enjoy reading and writing romance and erotic fiction. I'm addicted to coffee, sci-fi, and all things Marvel and Harry Potter.

I was a teen mom with a whole world of statistics against me. Every time I was told I couldn't do something, I did it, took pictures, and smiled with my son on my hip for everyone who ever doubted me.

Now, after finding the love of my life in my thirties, we married in the great 2020 pandemic, which shall not be named. We have a house full of teenagers who don't need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.


After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I'll get it right.

The Plot:
Lillian and Derek are coworkers and rivals. Although, the rivalry seems to be more one sided. After the Super Bowl LVIII Lillian and Derek both decide to go away for the week of Valentines. Lillian decides to go to Trunk Bay Island, a secluded BDSM lifestyle resort. While Derek is heading to what he believes is a relaxing resort set up by his older brother, also on Trunk Bay Island. These two not only get stuck on the same plane, side by side, but get placed in the same cabin! Also imagine Dereks shock when he gets to the island and realizes his brother is playing a prank on him sending him to a s3x island. Emotions get riled up when Lillian displays herself to the island during demostraciones and Derek realizes he has a thing for his coworker.

I do have one complaint, THIS WAS NOT NEARLY LONG ENOUGH! It feels slightly rushed, but thus is a novella. I wish we got to know Dereks answers to the survey he took. I would genuinely like a full length novel about this couple. I am also disappointed we did not get to see the Manhunt play out. I really like reading this in books.

Switching is part of the Leather Persuasion series, a BDSM series of standalones written by different authors.

This is a voluntary arc review.

Derek and Lillian are co workers and s working on major ad campaign for the Super Bowl. They have always been rivals so when they are all gathered to see what team's ad airs there is obvious tension in the air. Maybe a bit of undeniable sexual tension between these two but regardless tension is undeniable. Their boss comes into the room and decides to turn it all into a health competition between both teams. Both teams are taking a week long vacation but if the winning teams ad airs and it goes viral that group’s week long vacation will turn into a three week vacation. But you will have to guess who the winner is, no spoilers here.

Lillian is off to her vacation, in the airport she spots him, yes her work nemesis Derek is at the airport at the same time. While they maybe rivals they are both clearly attracted to one another. D. Williams sure knows how to convey all the sexual tension that these two are radiating. It is truly undeniable. So when a lit of coincidences and a crazy prank bring these two together closer than ever sparks are sure to fly. But can these two spend a week together in Paradise and deny the attraction and sexual chemistry? More importantly can they go back to work denying that attraction as well as forget their incredible week together?

If BDSM, enemy’s to lover’s, spiciness, and it’s just sex turned to romance is your jam then this book is one you are going to want to get your hands on, and get lost in an amazing story that D. Williams is so amazing at giving to us.

3.5 stars. This short story is dual POV, well written but desperately in need of a proofreader, and a sweet and spicy, rival coworkers to lovers, older woman(Lillian)/younger man (Derek), BDSM contemporary romance. I empathised with Lillian’s frustration and enjoyed seeing her push Derek’s limits. I chuckled at Derek’s reactions to everything at the resort, given he hadn’t expected to be in such a location. I enjoyed Lillian’s confidence and sensual enjoyment of experiences. I enjoyed their building intimacy and Derek’s determination for a real relationship.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

Derek and Lillian start off as rivals or so everyone thinks, hammering out work for the promotion.
Who gets it? Of course he does! Lillian is off for some rest and relaxation without a care in the world, until she sees him. It can't be, how could he be here on her plane and then at her resort.
Played by his brother Lance must figure out what he will do to make her his.
They both work very hard to get one over the other until they can't fight it any longer.
HOT, HOT, very HOT.

Another well written story. This one is a enemies to lovers story. Who doesn't love a good story like that. A contest at work turns them into rivals. Where Derek wins and takes off on vacation. He meets none other then his work rival Lillian. They seem to have ended up at the same place. I will leave at that. This is a great story although a short read that I highly recommend. Loved it!!!!

Derek may be the hot shot in the office, but while he is on an unexpected retreat, can he handle the heat? Lillian works hard and plays harder, so seeing Derek at while on her vacation has her fighting feelings. Can they both handle the heat or will someone get burned?.

Cute office romance story

Loved this story about Lillian and Derek. A quick read but full of all the good stuff. Love the comedy and the mixed emotional stuff. Looking forward to reading more from D. Williams!

I thought there would be more switching action. They go to a bdsm resort but there's not a lot of it in there and I think the newbie factor could've been explored more. Never got to see her as a domme. But then she's submissive but with no real explanation. I wanted to love it but I didn't. Sorry.

short, sweet, and sultry

This was my first D. Williams books and it was delicious.
I love any book with BDSM in it, throw in a tropical resort and two competitive main characters! I’m in!

A quick little book to get you in the mood 🤤

I'm currently halfway through this short book and have already tripped over 8 different misspelled words. Some of them are ones that a spell check would have caught. I like the story so far, but the editing needs some work.

3 stars I guess…..idk started quick and ended abruptly. I don’t know how I feel about this one there was no real plot with it and although it was supposed to be BDSM it was very surface level.

Nothing better than a rival at the workplace right?
Lillian and Derek go head on a mission to win a promotion. Not knowing that they will have a fight in their hands. The fight continues with each other. The scene are epic!!! Enemies to lovers.
