BDSM Blog Hop Part 2 — Fun after the Negotiations

Welcome back to the BDSM Blog hop! Yesterday I talked a little about negotiations, today I’ll provide an excerpt showing the fun you can have once the negotiations are over. ======================= “We’ll do your strength exercises in two parts this weekend.” His hand moved towards her pussy and he crammed two fingers into her with no soft caresses or warning. “Nice and wet.” His deep voice caressed her skin as the basso profundo vibrations drifted towards and around her. He removed his fingers without ceremony, picked up a handful of marbles, and methodically began poking them into her. Sam’s pussy spasmed as the glass orbs were quickly pressed into her, and she tried to hold her entrance closed to keep them from falling out as more and more were packed inside. Her rectal muscles began to spasm around the giant plug as she tensed her ass along with her pussy muscles, and she soon discovered it was nearly impossible to relax around the plug and still hold the marbles in. Ethan started the time on his cellphone, counting up, and turned it away from her. He set another chair in front of her and settled onto it before casually opening the bag and extracting a clothespin. “I’m in a mood tonight, Samantha. I want you to hurt for me. No words, but feel free to scream and cry.” He took his time placing each clothespin, building tension and anticipation until Sam was sure her adrenaline alone could light a stadium. The strain of holding the marbles in and fighting the large plug in her ass, along with being in the splits and her arms bound completely motionless — all of this in concert with the clothespins placed at random on her breasts and the underside of her upper arm had […]

Negotiations and BDSM — Consensual Nonconsent

Welcome to the BDSM Blog hop! Today I’d like to talk just a little about one of my favorite kinks — negotiation. Unfortunately, after being with my husband for close to two decades, and married for sixteen years, we no longer have a lot to negotiate. When we role play and map out the scene, there are still sorta-kinda semi-negotiations, but I get most of my kicks from letting my characters negotiate these days. Here’s a tiny excerpt from Safeword: Matte — In Training. If you haven’t read either Matte book (pronounced mah-tay, as it isn’t English), you should know Ethan is extremely well endowed, and wants to work his new fiancée up so she can take him in her backside on their honeymoon. This is a small peak into the contract negotiations. =============== “Thanks for giving me some space. I’m ready to talk now, I think.” Sam’s heart fluttered as Ethan’s gaze rose and a smile lit his face. He nodded to the coffee table. “I printed off the agreement, if you want to read through it and make notes.” He gestured to his laptop and added, “If I can have another ten minutes here I can finish what I’m working on, and then I’m all yours.” They were both wearing jeans and tees, and anyone looking in on them wouldn’t have thought anything odd about a couple hanging out together on a Saturday, unless they read over her shoulder. Sam used the pen Ethan had thoughtfully placed with the contract to make her own notes, and when she made it to the end she looked up to see Ethan watching her, his laptop open on the table between them. “You didn’t write this.” He smiled. “I wrote a version of it, and asked an attorney friend in the […]

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:

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.
