Summary: Split Between the two Stories
Review: I give this book three stars because the two stories featured are vastly different, and one is better then the other. "The Switch" Well, I read this book a long time ago, so I don't remember the characters names, but I do remember the details. It begins with a woman feeling the anguish of lost love. Her partner was killed in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and she is longing to find a new partner. In a bookstore, she meets a kindred spirit who calls to her lonliness. Now, this is where the story gets real interesting. The hero and the heroine are both fascinated with the world of BDSM. So, the growth of their love really takes place over one weekend, where the two spend...and interesting time learning and discovering about what fascinates them sexually. But, although the heroine feels for the hero, she is looking for something different. She is looking for a man who can be both dominate and submissive, which I suppose in the underground world of BDSM is called a 'switch'. Is the hero the person she is looking for? Well, you'll have to read that for yourself. Personally, I thought the book was okay. The writing wasn't bad, and for the first half of the story I was a bit intrigued. Yet, the more I read, the more I became bored with the story. I just couldn't get into the whole 'switch' thing going on. It really broke the flow of the read for me, and made me question rather the heroine was really in love with the hero. I give this first part of the book two stars. "Oath of Seduction" is the best of the two. I remember this book a lot better because it was actually good. Sharon is an earth woman bound by a contract the planet has with a neighboring race of aliens. The have a pact that exchanges woman for technology and the such. Of course, this may sound a bit archaic, but it's not like the woman aren't given a chance to resist. To make it fair, the woman can choose to be seduced, challenged, or conquerored. Sharon chooses to be seduced, so Liken, the hero, has a month to seduce her into saying. What you find out later, is that the aliens aren't just picking women at random. They spend years looking for their soulmate, a woman who can bond with their mind and body. Sharon is Liken's mate, so now he has a month to seduce her into knowing it. Yet, there is a catch, and...well...it's a different kind of catch. You'll just have to read it too find out what I mean. There are some elements of the paranormal because Liken has the ability to look into Sharon's mind. But, the author doesn't focus on that. Sharon's inability to deal with the changes in her life, and her problems with totally accepting all the changes taking place are really fascinating. The story is totally believable, even though it is a sci-fi/paranormal. I enjoyed the story, so I give it 4 stars

Summary: The SWITCH sizzles!
Review: Sean is a handsome Alpha male, a former Special Forces warrior, and the father of a teenaged son. He also has a secret: He's a Switch, a man with fantasies about submitting to a beautiful woman -- or, conversely, dominating her. When he meets beautiful Beth, he realizes she's the woman of his dreams. Despite her Asian heritage, Beth loves to play dominant in the bedroom. When the two get together, the result is steamy passion-- but more than that, their relationship quickly blooms into a sweetly passionate romance.
Whiteside's writing shines in this story. You'll love it!
