STANDALONE NOVELLA – Part of the Club series which contain interconnected standalone novellas.
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 … 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?

Top Bottom Switch by Chelle Bliss is an 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. Ret North is a well known and respected Dom among both staff and patrons but lately he’s started to lose interest. He’s still turned on but can’t quite find the spark he’s looking for. Alese Kane has major trust issues. She can’t seem to follow directions to be a compliant sub and yet she isn’t strong enough to be a Dom. She’s been acting as a switch, but it isn’t working. 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.
First off I have to say that I am not crazy about novellas, they are just too short and really don’t give you time to get to know the characters and the story always ends too soon. Well this is a novella it is HOT, steamy and did I mention HOT!
Ret North is a Dominant and is beginning to see that he wants more than a different submissive once in a while. He loves beginning with the subs at the Club but is getting bored and he wants more.
Alese Kane thinks she knows what she wants, which is to be a Domme but she is a complete failure each time she tries. But is she a true submissive trying to Top from the Bottom?
Will Ret show Alese that she is a true submissive and in return will she win his heart? Can Alese let go of the control she thinks she needs to be happy?
I have read a few of Chelle’s books and each time I find something new that I love in her writing and this story is HOT and I want more of Ret & Alese.
**I received a free copy from the author in exchange for my honest review**
I met Ret in the third ALFA book and I know his book is next in that series, so I thought I’d read this first because it’s where he meets his sub. It is a short read but worth taking time to read, its hot, well most BDSM stories are, or at least those I’ve read are. This is them coming to terms and learning about each other, both have been unlucky in finding just what they need so they take it slow to make sure it’s right for each other. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to.read more of this couple. Started and finished 12/9/21
Oh man, this was hawt!
4,5 stars
A super sexy and fast read, I’ve read in one sitting. And I just couldn’t put it down.
It was sweet, yet intense and extremely erotic.
I think it was more of an intro of these two characters, so there are more about them for us to find out during the next books.
So this time we’ve got to basically enjoy some scorching scenes and a (hot) touch of BDSM.
Absolutely love Ret. Hot and steamy. Love his patience. MISS Bliss has a way of pulling you into the book. Great series.
I really enjoyed this book actually. I kinda knew what I was going into by just reading the title. But it was pretty good!!! It was kind of graphic, but again, I knew that going in.
I really liked Alese’s character as she’s sort of shy in real life, but has this hidden life.
I thought Ret was a bit of an a-hole, but I get why he was. He was sweet at first, and then when she said yes, he turned, and I can def see why. That’s how he is. But in the end he came around and became the sweet Ret I knew he’d be!!
Fave quote from the book:
“Let’s get a few things straight, piccola. When we stepped into this room, hell, the moment you entered The Club, you gave yourself to me.”
Alese, a woman trying to find herself, gets her wish. Ret, a dom who is bored, helps Alese and finds his own happiness. I loved how patient Ret was as he helped Alese discover her true inner self. This story has plenty of steam, tenderness, and happiness. I enjoyed the story.
This was a freebie on Amazon, and this is my unsolicited review.
Can’t say that I enjoyed this story, actually there was not much story, it is pretty much all steam. I do enjoy steam, but when I read, I like story too. I found this a sad representation of literature.
Wow Chelle Bliss did it again and this book is HOT! I love her writing style although this is a little different than the other books I have read by Chelle since it is a short Novella that takes place over a short period of time. Ret and Alese are both looking for a more serious relationship than their regular hook ups at the The Club. Alese couldn’t make up her mind whether she was a Domme or a Sub. Ret was totally a Dom. Both were feeling unfulfilled in their current situation.
Quick, steamy read!
As an Illinois registered voter, I would vote for Jude Titan 100%!!
Brenda and Chelle joined forces to write the perfect, seamless, political romance that will make every woman want to get more involved in any government race. They combined wide spread political views, issues, and party differences in the best way possible; throw in some hot sexual tension, family corruption, and a meddling campaign manager and you have a senate race that will go down in history!
Top Bottom Switch is a huge deviation from what I am use to seeing from this author. This book is full of hot dominance. If you are not into men who know how to dominate a woman the right way and women who love to be submissive then turn away now. This highly explicit book was a very fast read and one that will keep a reader needing ice and dry pants.
The book like all her other books is extremely well written and attention to detail is in every page. Ret and Alese’s characters were so authentic feeling. I enjoyed getting to know them even in this short novella. I recommend it to any who love reading naughty deviant novels.
Top Bottom Switch may be short but it’s so very sexy.
I adore Ret & Alese, so much and have my fingers crossed and am trying so hard not to beg Chelle for more of these two, this was a great read but I need more of them!!
A 6’4 Dom who’s no longer happy with his life as it is, he’d like something more permanent but has basically given up on finding it at the club.
Alese is a bit confused and in need of a strong yet patient Dom to help her find her true self.
Ret is the only Dom to catch her eye, she’s been watching him for months but is sure he want’s nothing to do with her.
Until he does.
Alese is finally getting the Dom she’s always wanted and Ret is getting to be the man who shows the little switch her true nature.
Can Alese give in and be submissive only for Ret or will her need to dominate ruin any chance they have?
LOVED this!! I really want, no need more from these two. Their so good together, so hot and absolutely worth the read.
I truly enjoy the toying and discovery of Ret and Alese. It was sensual, raw, and loving. With this being Chelle first BDSM full book I think she hit it to the fence. Although I would say she had much practice with the kinky Gallo clan.
She touched on Alese fears and had Ret reading and pushing them as well as adhering to what Alese really needed and desired. They were a perfect fit so I guess the cats are out of the question and the hunter has caught his match. Topped the switch with butt plugs, bullet, and a massive….. Heart.
This amazing and really great story came to an end way to fast, I so wanted more and more by the ending I couldn’t believe that was it. Reading this BDSM story was and has been great, it’s fast pace and right to the point with characters that are easy to fall in love with. That’s one of my favorite things about Chelle’s writing is the characters and the story she has them tell it’s like your not reading a story but being told a story one that you really want to sit down and listen to or in this case read. I felt like I was their witnessing everything that was going on and it was beautiful. This was a different type of romance story it focused more on the BDSM side and the love that blooms from that. The unique names of the characters really kept me hooked and loving the fact that their was no bad people to watch out for nothing bad was going to happen. I do hope and cross my fingers that more Alese(love that name) and Ret(love this name even more) are to come. This is a 5 star MUST READ novel from cover to cover. It has a 2 person POV that is really easy and great to follow along with the pace. It all blends so well into each other.
