Some say they’ve been arguing for years.Others say it’s just a really long foreplay session. When Kelly moves from Wilmington, Delaware to Dallas, Texas, Evan regrets all the time they spent arguing and knows he made a mistake in letting her go. A wedding allows them the opportunity to reconnect and they spend a passionate night together. Yet when morning comes Kelly seems further away than ever.… when morning comes Kelly seems further away than ever.
Kelly has her reasons for treating Evan the way she did, not to mention a secret or two she’s never shared with anyone. If she hurt Evan, she’s sorry but she had no other choice. Besides, they’re both Tops, and they’d never be right together.
An unexpected situation forces them back together, and for a couple who’s done little else than bicker, the danger they find themselves in might be what they need to finally admit how they feel for each other.
Or it might be what pulls them apart forever.

Ich liebe die Bücher von TARA SUE ME!!! Auf die Autorin aufmerksam geworden bis ich vor etwa vier Jahren durch eine Empfehlung meines Ebookreaders. Inzwischen habe ich alle ihre bisher erschienenen Titel gelesen. Leider, leider wurden bisher nur 6 ihrer Werke ins Deutsche übersetzt. Gott sei Dank lassen sich ihre Bücher auch hervorragend auf Englisch lesen. Auch TOP TROUBLE hat mir wieder sehr gefallen.
TOP TROUBLE ist der aktuellste Teil der SUBMISSIVE SERIE. Als STANDALONE ausgeschrieben, ist das Buch dennoch Teil der Reihe. Man muss die anderen Bücher nicht gelesen haben, aber KELLY und EVAN begegnen einem schon vorher mal und die Entwicklung aller Charaktere im Laufe der Zeit zu verfolgen, lohnt sich sehr. Man begegnet auch in diesem Buch wieder Figuren aus den anderen Titeln der Serie.
Wie man Buch- und Reihentitel schon entnehmen kann, handelt es sich um einen BDSM-Roman. Die SEX-SZENEN sind WIE IMMER absolut heiß! Unbedingt EISWÜRFEL und FÄCHER zum Abkühlen bereit halten 😉 !!!
Vor der Lektüre war ich sehr skeptisch, was diese Story anging. Auf den ersten Blick passen KELLY und EVAN aufgrund ihrer sexuellen Präferenzen so gar nicht zusammen. Wie immer schafft es TARA SUE ME aber, die Geschichte glaubwürdig und überraschend zu entwickeln.
Ein tolles Buch, das Erotik und Spannung hervorragend kombiniert. Ich habe es in einem Rutsch gelesen und hoffe sehr, dass die Reihe ganz bald fortgesetzt wird!
This is the story of Evan & Kelly. This is a great story. They have always have banter between them, but find out they attracted to each other and lost a lot time together. Could they make it work both being Tops? You have to read it to find out. I give no spoilers away. There is also quite a bit of action in this story concerning Kelly’s sister, Kiara. I had to finish this book in one sitting, it was so good. This whole Submission Series, in my opinion, is the best BDSM Series out there. It explains thoroughly the lifestyle. I look forward to the next book. Thank you Tara Sue Me for writing this series.
Tara Sue Me is one of the best erotic/bdsm authors out there. I love her work plus her submissive series. Its been a while since I read the submissive series so I couldn’t remember Kelly and Evan so much. You may read this book as a standalone but you definitely should read this series.
Kelly and Evan are both doms but for some reason Evan can’t stop watching mistress K with her subs. Evan never expected Kelly wanting anything to do with him. Little did he know that she was a switch. A switch is one who is comfortable being a dom and submissive. This story was definitely steamy and hot. I can’t wait for the next book about Kelly twin who we meet in this book. Kiara has been in abusive relationship and she is in hiding.
Kelly and Even have known each other for a while and are part of the Partners BDSM group but they are both Tops so they haven’t interacted with each other ,in fact they tease each other terribly. When Evan finds out she is leaving he is sorry he never tried with her but maybe before she leaves.
Kelly is home and her sister Kiara was dating a guy who was in jail for animal abuse but he is out now so Kelly is determined to keep her safe. When Kiara gets a job on a ranch thats a bit away Kelly decides to go with her at first but she runs smack into Evan. As Kelly and Evan make up for lost time someone steals her sister and if they don’t get her back Evan and Kelly may never get a chance to be together. I loved them together fighting or not they make a perfect pair.
Reviewed on behalf of Once upon an Alpha
3.25 stars-TOP TROUBLE by Tara Sue Me is a contemporary, adult, erotic, BDSM, romance stand alone story focusing on Domme/switch / police officer Kelly Bowman, and Dom / history teacher Evan Martin.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Kelly and Evan) TOP TROUBLE follows the acrimonious relationship between Domme/switch / police officer Kelly Bowman, and Dom / history teacher Evan Martin. For months Evan Martin has wanted to ‘play’ with the Partner’s Group Domme Kelly Bowman but Kelly wasn’t having anything to do with what Evan was willing to offer. A mutual friend’s wedding, a drunken night together, and Kelly’s move from Delaware to Texas found Evan wondering where it had all gone wrong. One more wedding, and another night together found Kelly pushing Evan out of her life a push she regrets more than she could have imagined. But when her sister Kiara’s life is threatened, Kelly takes control, and follows her sister to a ‘destination ranch’ where she will, once again come face to face with Evan Martin. What ensues is the building relationship between Kelly and Evan, and the threats to Kiara’s life come to fruition forcing Kelly and Evan to work together.
The relationship between Kelly and Evan is one of immediate attraction but Kelly denies any interest in our story line hero. Strong willed and ‘dominate’, Kelly is also a switch and therefore sends mixed signals at every opportunity. Evan Martin is a Dom at The Partner’s Group but he is willing to submit to Kelly Bowman, in an effort to get closer to the woman that calls to his heart. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense with scenes of bondage, spanking, anal play, domination and submission.
We are introduced to Kelly’s sister Kiara, as well as the return of several previous story line characters.
TOP TROUBLE is a quick read; a story of rejection and denial; of family and friendship; of power and control. The premise is engaging; the romance is steamy but as with similar stories the $ex takes precedence; the characters are energetic. If you like your BDSM and erotic story lines with a little bit of suspense, give TOP TROUBLE a try.
4 1/2 STARS!
TOP TROUBLE is the next book in Tara Sue Me’s beloved Sumissive Series, and centers around two dominant personalities finally succumb to their temptations in this enemies to lovers story.
I always love a return visit to this series because we always get a great update on all of the previous couples we loved and this was no exception. It’s like visiting old friends to reach for this book.
Kelly was particularly interesting from the start because even though she’s dominant and outspoken in public, she has secrets she doesn’t let be known by just everybody. Letting the walls down to let Evan in was difficult for her … but the reward eventually made it worth it!
Evan is a fun character. He brings sass and humor to the table, but flirts with a sternness at times that really brings him to life. Really enjoyed watching them let their guard down and live a little.
I highly recommend this story to anyone wanting a fun-filled, light-hearted delve into the BDSM world with a cast of characters that are tight-knit and always like family. The characters are well developed and the passion is always steamy. Always a pleasure, and I always leave looking forward to that next book!
Spoiler-free review.
When Tara told me she was adding another book to her already amazing, NYT Bestseller Submissive series. I was over the moon. This series is EVERYTHING and more that I love about this genre. It is everything and more I love about romance. I discovered Tara a few years ago and I have been a fan of her work since The Submissive (Book 1) released. It blew me away just how detailed, accurate and addictive this series became to me. So I was devastated when she stopped writing them and branched out to another sub-genre. I’m not saying her other work isn’t as good. Because it is and it is flawless… But this series? It holds a special place for me. A series I will continue to go back to and read and the latest book to the series… Well, that was a game-changer. Going back into this world was so easy. . And when I heard it was Kelly and Evans story I was beyond intrigued how the author would write this one out, and it is safe to say she NAILED IT… It was like her older work, but more… She added to it, she tried new things, which I never knew I would enjoy reading as much as the normal D/S relationship. But I shouldn’t be surprised… This is her calling it. This is what she does best. She builds an intense, all-consuming plot based around a couple you can’t help but fall in love with Kelly and Even had their struggles, both trying to find what level they were at, both being tops and both struggle to give up their controlling streak but as the book progresses.. Things start to shift for the both.. Rolls are reverse and god damn it was extremely hot!
Kelly and Evan are complex, to say the least, and Kelly holds secrets that she doesn’t want the world to know… Let alone Evan. But nothing stays secret forever and the chemistry between them just builds as they continue to butt heads, but when their lives are in danger, it pushes these two even closer and sparks fly, leaving them needing, wanting, and craving each other.
And… That’s as far as I am going… You need to read this. If you enjoyed her other books in this series, you will enjoy this. It was new, it was refreshing to be back reading this world again and it’s made fall even more in love with this author’s works. She knows her stuff. She seems to have the knowledge when it comes to this lifestyle, she does not shy away from much AT ALL.. and that doesn’t always come along often. It’s one of the biggest things I love about her books. I can relate to a lot of them.
What I didn’t like? It was too short! I need more… I want more. I want more for this couple but I also want to see more of the secondary characters. Now I am back into this epic world she creates. The only way I will leave it, is kicking and screaming.
This book is standalone so you don’t need to read the series in order, although for a better feel of this lifestyle, these characters, and the background. I highly recommend reading book one.
5 Stars
When a Dom and a Domme get together who Tops whom? Finding out could happen if Kelly and Evan would ever stop their sniping at each other. Another marvelously steamy book by Tara Sue Me’s in her The Submissive series. A great storyline with wonderful characters who almost ignite the pages are the hallmarks of Tara’s books.
Get your fire extinguisher ready. Top Trouble was Hot and Delicious! Evan and Kelly are both strong and well developed characters, tempting readers to stay up far to late to finish. Steamy sex scenes, as well as danger will get your heart racing and keep you on the edge of your seat.
Tara Sue Me brings it in her latest novel, with emotionally charged moments, filled with white hot intimacy.
I received a early copy in exchange for a honest opinion.
I’m always a fan of a new release by Tara Sue Me. I’ve loved The Submissive Series from the beginning. I never tire of the growing characters and am elated when past characters make an appearance.
“Your thoughts will never be a burden to those who care for you.”
This book had a twist that will stay on the back burner if your mind for awhile. Before you know it you will be trying to solve the mystery.
It wouldn’t be a Tara Sue Me read without some moments that have your toes curling…fun banter…great friendships…this book is a quick read, but will not leave you disappointed!
