Dear lord this shit needs to come with a warning sign!.

Review to come closer to release day.

My book drunk self is about to go fan off. Have a cold shower... dream about all this delicious filth that's now imprinted on my brain.

I is back!.
I've read my fair share of bdsm stories and for a while authors were dishing them out like they'd go out of fashion. Quite frankly it turned me off reading them because a lot of them had no depth.. no substance, they became repetitive and dare I say... boring. Dear lord this shit needs to come with a warning sign!.

Review to come closer to release day.

My book drunk self is about to go fan off. Have a cold shower... dream about all this delicious filth that's now imprinted on my brain.

I is back!.
I've read my fair share of bdsm stories and for a while authors were dishing them out like they'd go out of fashion. Quite frankly it turned me off reading them because a lot of them had no depth.. no substance, they became repetitive and dare I say... boring. This has brought back my faith in all the best, filthiest and intellectually stimulating ways.

This glorious threesome consists of three parts ....
Kochran, part owner of said bdsm club and reclusive dominant with a side of sadistic tendencies.
Ezra, quiet brooding IT nerd whom also happens to be dominant but he's more the nurturing, sweet kind.
Then finally the glue that stuck them all together .. Madeline. Fiesty little pocket rocket but a natural submissive in the bedroom.

Madeline first met Kochran when she illegally hacks into his online bdsm club looking for glitches in the system. Unbeknownst to kochran or his business partner there seems to be a sexual predator in the system and Madeline makes it her mission to fix what's broken and therefore confronts kochran in the most hilarious way. Kochran has no idea how to deal with the situation and pushes her to Ezra. This really is the catalyst for how the three bacame a threesome.

I really enjoyed all the characters because they are all totally different in personalities. Kochran is a man whom hides behind the mask of what he thinks other want to see. Repressing his true wants and needs has made him lack the want for more. Ezra is the tortured soul left in a body bursting with heart ache and hunted by memories of his past and Madeline is light at the end of the tunnel for both men. She may be all kinds of fierce and fiesty but when it comes down to her sexual desires she's pretty innocent.

I don't want to give much away in regards to the storyline. The plot is smarty written and seemlessly executed to give the desired effects emotionally. It's better to read the story whilst it's unfolding because you really do feel all that emotion, I connected to the characters and their struggles and I rooted for their happy ending.

I can't say I was surprised at some of the things that unfolded.., kochran being the main thing. However I enjoyed it. It's worked perfectly and I loved that the author made it known that Madeline was the glue that held the trio together. The level of emotion in this story astounds me because while it's a very erotic tale it's also gives you all the feels. My heart broke for the men and their struggles. I laughed my ass off at the craziness of it all and lord did I have to take a break and cool myself down From the level of hot this story had going on. It's an emotional rollercoaster and I loved every second of it. I think the author did a fabulous job of writting this story and sucking me in as a reader.

I'd also like to note that this story was read a few weeks ago and is still stuck in my head. That in my books is a damn good sign.

I kindly received this ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ...more

This second one is decadent and hits many my kinks with just the right strength. This book can be read as a standalone.

In this hawt threesome, Ms. Brookes takes us back to the clever concept of a virtual BDSM club. I love the idea. As with all great ideas, some asshat is going to try to get in on it and cause mischief. Lucky for Kochran Duke, part owner of this exclusive club, a white hat comes in and shows him all the holes in his software. Intrigued by a woman scolding him but understanding nothing she's saying other than the fact that he has a sexual predator in his club, Kochran hires Madeline Zane. Madeline is quickly turned over to resident IT geek, Ezra.

Ezra is support staff and quite closed mouthed. Not much is known about Ezra other than he was once married. Erza surrounds himself with those in the lifestyle but only as a voyeur. When Maddy throws his cold quiet world into a loud chaotic mess, Ezra seems to wake up from his self imposed exile.

I loved this story because the three characters came together so well. Each of them have their own situation and fortunately, it is the right time for all of them to start a new relationship. Maddy is the most stable one and she's the catalyst which jump starts Ezra back into the land of the living. She also makes Kochran yearn for something he thought he put behind him. When two doms decide to play, it is game on.

The BDSM in this story is a female submissive's wet dream. The scenes are erotically explosive and Ms. Brookes knocks the D/s out of the ball park. For those who enjoy being a voyeur or an exhibitionist, this tale contains several scenes that are drool worthy. As an avid voyeur, the sex scenes in here are eloquently detailed and generate blazing heat. Ms. Brookes knows exactly how to seduce a reader with her erotic foreplay. The orders from both Ezra and Kochran set Maddy up for some amazing D/S and bondage fantasies come to life. Even more exciting is uber dominant Kochran switching to submit to Ezra. Talk about a scene getting hawter! There is something about a switch which just cranks the heat up more for me. Especially if the switch is usually one of the more sadistic impact dominants. The m/m scenes between Ezra and Kochran keep this erotic feast going strong.

This story is more than just one long fapping material for the lonely. The erotic power exchange as well as the budding relationship is captivating. It shows the good and the bad times. It also shows how a strong relationship can help cushion the people in it when there is a great loss. There is a bit of a thread that is left hanging and I can only hope it is resolved in the next book in the series. I will eagerly wait for the next one in this kinky series. This erotic romance is highly recommended to menage readers who enjoy BDSM.

I just could not for the life of me get into this book. I really wanted to love it because my shy kinky side thinks this set up is freaking hot, but I just couldn’t get into these three.

Each one had issues of abandonment and disappointment to over come. They did and got together. It just was very slow and very dragged out. Just didn’t do it for me.

This is a hard one for me to review because I felt differently about so many facets of this book.

As a kinky, erotic novel, this really hits the mark. Noble House is different than any other BDSM club I've read about due to the cyber-aspect. Members can watch online, participate in a virtual capacity and satisfy their voyeuristic natures without ever setting foot inside a club. But for those that want to participate in person, the club is a living, breathing place. I thought Maddy, as a ...more

CW: side character on hospice

I loved the first book in this series and I’m not sure if I’ve changed as a reader since then or if this book just didn’t work for me because it didn’t work for me. As I was reading, I was reflecting that romances set in BDSM clubs just don’t do as much for me anymore—I’m much more interested in that dynamic in the comfort of the characters’ homes or in their day to day lives.

I loved the first book in this series and I’m not sure if I’ve changed as a reader since then or if this book just didn’t work for me because it didn’t work for me. As I was reading, I was reflecting that romances set in BDSM clubs just don’t do as much for me anymore—I’m much more interested in that dynamic in the comfort of the characters’ homes or in their day to day lives. I’m sure there are exceptions to this but unfortunately, Switch It Up did not make the cut, mostly due to pacing issues. Kochran, Ezra, and Maddy went from “this is just sex” to “we love each other and are going to be a triad” with hardly any transition points. It was quite jarring, especially because they’d barely spent any time together as a triad by that point. Maddy was the connector, being with both men and then toward the end, the men both get together, and then boom, apparently that’s all it takes? It felt shaky to me.

My other issue was the representation of Kochran’s sister who is on hospice. While she’s not a main character, this is a pretty big subplot and it’s not clear exactly why she’s on hospice (there's a brief reference to a heart defect but not her symptoms, why it's a terminal diagnosis, etc.), why she needs to live in a hospice home (they tend to be quite particular about who can live there and for how long), and why she and Kochran have any relationship with their bulldozing mother who keeps trying to interfere with her medical care. I could not understand why they wouldn’t cut their mother out of their lives, particularly because she’s homophobic and has tried to kick Tory’s girlfriend out of the room and out of Tory’s life. I used to be a hospice social worker so I’m going to be pickier about such portrayals but I truly had so many questions about every part of this subplot. It probably won’t bother people who don’t know as much about end of life care but I hope they also won’t think that what happens in this book is what hospice is actually like.

There were some hot scenes so it wasn’t all bad but the story dragged a lot. I’m also not sure that it adequately addressed the power dynamics since all three characters work together at the kink club. I also wasn’t sure about Kochran, Noble House owner and renowned Dom, struggling to come out as a Switch. Maybe it would be that big of a deal to the people who come to the club? But it felt like he was kink-shaming himself and furthermore, if any club members took issue with it, they’d be kink-shaming him as well, which is the very opposite of what BDSM stands for.

All too often with books involving triads there isn't enough of an emotional connection between all three characters or the book will focus on only two of the players. This was definitely not the case in this book. Prepare for a heartbreaking story with both Ezra (OMG) and Kochran. Prepare for some amazing HOT, sizzling intimate scenes involving two to three of the characters.

Everything changes when Maddy decides to pay a visit to the real Noble House to talk to its boss, Kochran Duke, after encountering a predator on the website that made her feel unsafe. After this, the innocence immediately vanishes and Maddy gets sucked into the club’s scene. From then on the story mainly focuses on the sex scenes. T ...more

I would never have thought I would enjoy kinky menage romances, but, well, here I am. After gobbling down Kit Rocha's Beyond series, when I saw this up for request on NetGalley, I decided to see if it was just Kit Rocha or anything else. After realizing this was the second in a series, I also bought the first book and read that in an afternoon, and then promptly gobbled this one down as well. And, holy crap, are these books hot!

"Some people found pleasure in whips and chains. Madeline Zane got off on skirting the law. Laws were more like guidelines anyway. A line drawn in the sand just begging to be crossed. Maddy hadn’t yet found a single line she hadn’t been willing to leap over."

Maddy, "badass hacker extraordinaire," is a risk taker, a hacker who specializes in hacking into websites and then presenting recommendations to the company for how to fix the security breaches. Usually this sort of penetration testing (yes, that is what it's actually called) is contracted by the company in advance, but Maddy also likes a little bit of illegal exploration on the side. So when she finds a Second Life-style sim on the Noble Kink website, she takes great pleasure in hacking into it. Unfortunately, she's soon horrified when a creep tries to take advantage of the fact that the software doesn't have a "safe word" feature. She's so mad, in fact, that she hops in her car and drives to the Noble Kink warehouse/playground/offices, where she confronts and basically dresses down Kochran, Dom extraordinaire and king of the kingdom. He foists her off on his computer geek, Ezra, who, despite being called a "half-rate code jockey," repeatedly, by her, is intrigued. Of course, rather than prosecuting her for her computer crimes, this all leads to Maddy landing a job helping Ezra fix the website.

"Within the span of a few hours, two men—two complete strangers—had convinced her she was absolutely safe when she was in their presence. She’d come to the club to report a security issue she’d created, the dangerous lack of a safe exit and a jerkoff preying on in- nocent submissives—she hadn’t been prepared for the unexpected pleasure from two vastly different men. Pursuing either of them would be double trouble. While Maddy loved skirting the law, she wasn’t about to put her heart up as collateral. And why the hell was she thinking about both of them? Since when had she become the poster child for polyamory?"

While Maddy is refreshingly - well, not innocent - but most definitely unexperienced in the whole lifestyle, Ezra and Kochran each have their own hangups and pasts to work through. In romances with only two main characters, it can sometimes feel like one is being shortchanged in favor of the other, but I felt like Ms. Brookes gave plenty of attention to each of the main characters and where they were coming from. And, if anything, that would be one of my main complaints - there is a lot that's happening in this book, and it takes a while to get to the point where all three of them are together. The buildup was absolutely amazing, but one of the things I loved about the first book in the series was seeing how Grae fit in with the existing relationship between Saint and Boyce. In this book, though, there was no deep relationship between any of them when the book started, and how quickly they got to their HEA was a bit jarring. It's not that I didn't think their relationship would work out - I think the dynamics between the three of them were well explored and quite frankly lovely - but that I would've liked to see them all have more time to grow together in their relationship. As for another (minor) cons, Maddy has a habit of saying "mothertruckin'" or "mothertrucker" as a swear word. It was amusing the first time, but around the fifth time, it was enough to jar me out of the story. I have no idea why this bothered me so much, but it was weird going from "not a cuss word" to talking about ridiculously kinky things in the next sentence.

And, hoo boy, this book is seriously steamy. There's a lot of different kinks represented (though no clowns, thank goodness), but they all worked well together. Pretty sure this is the only book I've read with server room sex in it (because, damn, those places are usually hot and LOUD and seriously the last place I'd want to get it on) but Ms. Brookes made it sound appealing!

I'll definitely be picking up the next book in the series! If you like your stories kinky and steamy, this is for you!

A random search of porn and she finds herself on Noble House’s website and boy is it full of flaws but none more than when she is approached on the site by a less than savory character. Now she is pissed off and heads out to confront the owner and Dom, Kochran. What a butt chewing she gives him, and then agrees to help his IT person, Ezra, fix those flaws.

Kochran has just been going through the motions of being a Dom. Something is lacking from his life, secret desires as the owner and Dom of an exclusive fetish club may never have. Ezra has had tragedy in his life losing both his wife and husband. Now just a husk of his former self, hiding the pain from everyone and denying anything is wrong. Both have pains, secret desires and it’s going to take something special to put them back together again.

Maddy, Kockran, and Ezra. What a combination these three make! Secret desires coming to life are nothing new in Noble House but what goes on between these three is more than just physical. Kochran and Ezra seem to have it all, but in reality, they didn’t until Maddy came along. Of course, the hot sex between them was delicious! However, it wasn’t just the sex that made the story perfect for me. It’s what goes on outside of the bedroom that did it. There is a palpable connection and it was delightful to watch it evolve into its finished product.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to put my hands on anything new by Ms. Brookes and let me say, she has not lost her touch. Human frailties, new connections, and hot HEAs. All this yummy goodness is something I always enjoy of her books and it is why she will also a one-click author for me.

Ok. Lots of drama, kink, but it didn’t come together and sing for me.
