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.

Hunky Hero Giveaway Hop

When it comes to hunky heroes, Ethan Levi certainly fits the bill. He’s six foot five inches tall, two hundred and seventy one pounds. But he’s smart, too — owns his own business, is a martial arts expert, and occasionally enters cage fights, just to challenge himself. Diana at The Forbidden Bookshelf gave Safeword: Matte 4½ stars out of 5 and said: When it comes to S&M love stories, Candace Blevins knows her stuff. Her latest SAFEWORD: MATTE hits *all* the right buttons for my inner masochist. It gives a positive portrayal of a safe, sane and consensual S&M relationship. Yes, there are “loving sadists,” and the book’s hero, Ethan, is a swoon-worthy example. Ethan’s more than a sadist though, he’s also a very caring Dom – capable of being loving and affectionate as well as strict and exacting. Of course, if you aren’t into Doms with a sadistic streak you might want to just ogle the picture and skip the details… but if you happen to like that sort of thing? I’m giving away an ebook version of Safeword: Matte to one lucky winner. There are three ways to enter. Do all three and you’ll be entered three times: Follow me on Facebook and let me know about it (email, comment, or FB message) Follow me on Twitter and let me know about it (email, comment, or Twitter me) Comment below. If you’re already following me on Facebook or Twitter let me know who you are, and I’ll count it. Contest ends midnight Sunday night, April 22th, and I’ll select a winner Monday morning, April 23th.

Dark Haven Book Reviews gives Safeword: Matte a 5 of 5

The Dark Haven Maven said: … I love these characters! I’ve read this story three times and the feeling at the end was the same each time- realism. Sam and Ethan will have you gasping at a painful moment, one minute and then squirming in your seat the next during some of the hottest sex scenes I’ve read in a while. And I’ve read a lot. She had lots of other nice things to say about Sam, Ethan, and their adventures together. She’s also giving away four free ebook copies of Safeword: Matte. Go here to read the rest of the review, and enter to win a free copy. Many thanks to the Dark Haven Maven for taking the time to read and review Safeword: Matte!
