The BookViral Review:
Masterfully weaving BDSM, Romance and intrigue into a no holds barred read Switch: A Tale of Spanking, BDSM, and Romance proves a dangerously delightful foray into the mind of Ardie Stallard and the aptly named ‘Switch’ series.
Many plot points and literary devices have commonalities in BDSM Fiction with far too many titles feeling predictable and familiar. But this is something Stallard confidently avoids.
Fast-paced, with continued conflict that keeps its chapters forging forward you won’t find any mundane romance tropes in Switch: A Tale of Spanking, BDSM, and Romance or lame sex with coy descriptions.
Crafting a succinct and well-paced plot that quickly gets to the crux of the genre whilst rapidly building intrigue and suspense it’s fair to say Stallard’s not an author to labour in the detail when it isn’t warranted but does have a colourfully dynamic and visual imagination that seldom lets up!
Of course, any novel of note rises and falls on the strength of its characters and here both Felicia and Joe prove far from pedestrian. Add a little humour and strong backstories and they each have broad appeal. They’re intelligent and conflicted and each of them is damaged with Felicia’s humiliation and social media notoriety being the catalyst that ultimately brings them together.
But a great read in any genre must go beyond its lead protagonists and this is where Stallard’s novel really excels. BDSM is part of the holistic fibre of Felicia’s story but the moments of truth, the plot triggers, lie in the sexual reality of both Felicia and Joe with this allowing Stallard to move beyond simply telling a good story and delve into the more cerebral aspects of BDSM Erotica
With everything a reader could want from a top-notch read in the genre Switch: A Tale of Spanking, BDSM, and Romance is quick to ensnare the imagination and is recommended without reservation.
