Safeword: Matte on Sale!

In preparation for the release of Safeword: Matte — In Training, you can buy the first book, Safeword: Matte, for $3.99! Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is the word used in some forms of martial arts to stop a fight. It’s the Japanese word for stop or wait. Sam (short for Samantha) has made a hobby out of learning the various fighting disciplines, but she also happens to be a sexual submissive. What better safeword than matte? Sam wants to find someone to submit to who she can’t beat in a fight. She’s tried to make it work with men from the scene who know nothing about fighting, but it doesn’t feel real to her – she needs someone who can truly control her. However, after dating from the fight scene and discovering not all guys like to spank their girlfriends, she’s decided to just back away from the whole dating thing for a while… until Fate decides to step in. Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, and use of toys including crops, clamps, canes, and floggers.  To read more about both books: Details and excerpt of Safeword: Matte Details and excerpt of Safeword: Matte – In Training Follow Candace on Facebook for snippets, excerpts, and information about Safeword: Matte – The Honeymoon (releases August 1) and Safeword: Matte — Happily Ever After (Fall 2014 release)

Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews names Safeword: Rainbow a Purest Delight

Kitty Angel at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews gave the new edition of Safeword: Rainbow 4½ stars and rated it a Purest Delight. She had lots of nice things to say, here are a few: The extended version of Rainbow had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see how they would work out their problems with a TPE and how they would manage if they were to compromise. ….Candace draws you into her story and doesn’t let go. It was very hard to put the book down and walk away to do anything besides read it. Ms. Blevins’ BDSM scenes were so well written that you felt yourself being drawn into the scene. I love the way Candace Blevins writes, incorporates the real world into the BDSM world and brings an HEA even in situations that may seem hopeless. Go to the Guilty Pleasures Book Review site to read the rest of what she had to say.   Buy it at:    

Awards, Reviews, Safeword: Rainbow

Night Owl Reviews — Top Pick!

VRainey at Night Owl reviewed Safeword: Rainbow and named it a Top Pick, as well as giving it 4½ Stars! Here are a few of the things she said: The chemistry between Tyler and Vivian is blistering hot. The sex scenes were scorching hot. While I am not a masochist, the extreme sex scenes did not seem over the top or unrealistic. I loved that when it was too much Vivian was willing to say her safe word. This book is well written. The main and secondary characters were realistic. I love this series and can’t wait to read more in this series. Read her review to find out what else she liked — and didn’t like.
