The passion is undeniable and that thin line between love and trying to balance everything out begins to blur. What an amazing story!

Tara Sue Me shines with Top Trouble! This is a must read for everyone who loves BDSM romance, and especially those who love The Submissive series!!!!!

3 Stars for Top Trouble: A Submissive Stand-alone Novel

ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way.

I thought I would give this new author a try even though I was not sure this was the right genre for me ....

I was not able to get into this book & unfortunately the plot seemed to bounce around between Kelly & her twin sister Keira who finds herself being stalked after ending an abusive relationship. Most of the book is about the exploration of a SUB & DOM relationship between Kelly & Evan - just in my opinion seemed to take awhile for this plot to get off the ground.

I am sure this book was for me ....

I voluntarily read this ARC in exchange for an honest review - all thought and opinions are mine

I LOVE Tara Sue Me's books and have read quite a few. She is really at the top of her game and one of the best authors of this genre.

This is a standalone but also part of a series - I really enjoyed this

A steamy romance with a bit of a mystery thread

A great read

Steamy, and entertaining!

This was my first time reading anything by this author, and I found this to be an enjoyable read.

I found this book to be a quick, sexy, kinky, humorous, and emotional. I liked the characters, and they had a great chemistry. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Tara Sue Me is an absolute master at writing BDSM romance! I loved this book so much and the characters are so well written. Tara Sue Me knows how to write BDSM romance characters and Kelly is proof. Kelly is a Domme and she enjoys it but she moving to Texas for a new job and to be closer to her family. Kelly will not be missing Evan the Dom who enjoys teasing and picking on her. She doesn’t know if he is just a jerk or if he doesn’t like women as dommes. Evan is a Dom at the club and can’t believe that Kelly is leaving because he has a crush on her. Kelly also has a secret sister that most people don’t know about and it’s one of the reasons she is glad to be moving. She wants to be closer to her as well. This book is full of twists and turns and the secrets will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s smoking hot with lots of sexy scenes.

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.

This was a fantastic read. I really enjoyed Evan and Kelly’s book.
What happens when a Dom and a Domme have undeniable chemistry? Who tops who? This was a great kink read.
Definitely recommend

Alright .. I admit defeat.. I have been dying to read this author since forever and was finally able to give her some time and really I just don’t think it works for me. I liked the witty sex banter and I think I would have liked the series more if I didn’t just dive into a random novella. It appears Kelly is determined to have Evan and for once would like to not top as she does in all her sex shows. I think if I was more into this series it would be good for BDSM book. I did not link to the characters as much as I wish I had and I lost interest quickly in the story. It was a decent read it just didn’t hold my attention

From friendly adversaries to lovers.

Tara Sue Me’s Top Trouble is a pleasant enough read, just not something that makes you stand up and take notice. It was a stand alone story loosely tied to her Submissive series.
Kelly and Evan were an “ok” couple but I didn’t feel the same kind chemistry between them that I found with her other couples.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

I really enjoyed this story and found it to be a fun, and fast paced read!
I thought that the story was well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The characters worked well together and I found them to be well developed.
It is 4 stars from me for this one - I really enjoyed it! Highly recommended!!

3.5 stars

Not quite what I expected and felt a little like I was missing more of their background story, perhaps in another story? Checked and this is a stand-alone but maybe more in the author’s Submissive series?

Evan was my favorite character. Respected Kelly enough to follow her lead (not wanting to give anything away here). Unfortunately, Kelly seemed to lack any depth of emotion, just wasn’t really able to connect with her.


Thank you NetGalley and After Six Publishing for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

4 star. As with other Tara Sue Me books its not too hard core BSDM. Nice HEA story with a little mystery thrown in for good measure. A pleasurable read.

Top Trouble was a short BDSM Romance. I haven't read any other books in this series but was introduced to enough of the other characters in this stand alone that I want to look into the rest. Evan and Kelly are both Tops and their story is how they work through it with some action along the way. Good short story. Thanks Netgalley for providing.

Erotic story with bit of mystery, action, romance and steam!
Evan and Kelly are both Dommes in the same club. For years they have argued and bickered whenever they have been around each other. But was it all foreplay? When Kelly's twin sister is in trouble, Kelly decides to return to her home town to live and work. But, that was after a very interesting night between Kelly and Evan! When their paths cross soon after, they join forces to protect Kelly's sister from a dangerous ex, but they also realize that the feelings they have for each other are a lot more than they bargained for. How can two Dommes find a way to be together?
Good story line, great characters. Was a little slow to start but after the first few chapters the story came alive.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Two members of a BDSM club have a sexually charge, yet antagonistic relationship, but because they are both tops see no future in any sort of relationship. But one night of wild passion opens up a world of possibilities but a world that is shut down when a big move pulls them apart.

A fun, quick, steamy read with a bit of a suspense plot that I personally didn't care about.

CW: a character's trust was taken advantage of in the past, leading her to not want to risk submissive behavior.

An advance copy was provided in exchange for a fair review.

Sexy, steamy and sweat inducing. It was a great story that really sucks you into it. Definitely one you need to pick up.

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!

A short and well written BDSM romance. It has made me want to read the other books in the series. Evan and Kelly were well-matched. I only wished that the book was longer.

4 well deserved stars.

I received a free book from NetGalley.
