Switch: A Tale of Spanking, BDSM, and Romance by Ardie Stallard
Twenty-one-year-old Felicia Rose Culbertson is a college student working part-time as a professional Dominatrix. Though she maintains a marked degree of emotional distance from her customers, she’s dedicated to doing a good job always and her clients keep coming back. She came to the profession with the advice and assistance of an older, more experienced Dominatrix, originally hoping to use it as a means of coping and coming to terms with an extremely traumatic and humiliating event she experienced when she was only eighteen and a senior in high school: she had been intimidated by a coach to consent to a disciplinary paddling from her school principal. The resulting media attention, both social and otherwise, has resulted in her community almost totally ostracizing her–although it seems that everyone is fascinated by the fact that such a beautiful young girl has endured the paddle. Though she’s left for the big city and feels she can never go home again, she’s a confident Dominatrix three years later–but her feeling of satisfaction with the profession is only transitory. She still suffers from anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, and feels as if she’s missing out on something she may be afraid to admit, even to herself…
Until one warm spring evening, when she accepts an “outcall” from a posh hotel not far from her apartment and she meets a “client” of the sort she never expected–much less than he ever expected to run into a girl like her. A bit of hilarity due to a practical joke and mistaken identity ensue, but as the evening progresses, Felicia discovers that not all males calling themselves Dominants are cut from the same cloth– not to mention realizing a few possibilities she’s been missing and an aspect of her personality she may never have quite accepted, until tonight…
Includes Spanking, Bondage, Female Domination, Male Domination, submission. All consensual.

Switch: A Tale of Spanking, BDSM, and Romance begs the question, “Can you truly run from your past?”
Felicia is a college student by day and a part-time dominatrix at night. After her very public humiliation at her high school prom, where her private punishment via canning [sic], was heard over her school’s megaphone, she left her small hometown and never looked back.
Despite going to college for a fresh start, her past could resurface at any moment, should someone recognizes her or her last name. This residual PTSD combined with her less than favorable sexual encounters has left Felicia feeling bereft and unable to comprehend who she truly is.
Felicia soon finds her match when a hotel call goes wrong and, she ends up at the mercy of Joe, a southern charmer who sees right through all her insecurities and might be just the thing she never knew she needed.
Felicia and Joe went from insta-chemistry (which I don’t necessarily mind) to insta-love (which I am not a fan of at all). I believed they forged a strong connection, but after one night in a hotel room, the prospect of love and marriage was a bit hard to digest.
I honestly wished that Felicia saw the good that came from her humiliating incident. Because of all the press and news coverage her story garnered, this prompted more stringent application on corporal punishment and abolished an archaic homecoming ritual of “no-kissing.”
To me, her celebratory moment of liberation and freedom never truly came as she just exchanged one coping mechanism for another. She jumped from being a dominatrix to being dominated without really addressing her core emotional issues…
… All in all, Switch is a nice romance with a bit of a naughty aspect.

I actually read the second installment before the first, but after finishing that book, I just had to come back and see what happened first. I read them both in less than two days. Think of these books as a Showtime miniseries. Very entertaining!

Very interesting
This novel is strong, erotic, and emotional. You will be moved by how the main character came to that point of becoming Dominatrix. She was haunted by the past which made her search for a better future. This is a very good book overall.
