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!
