The man about to penetrate her sees only female genitals available for use. A curtain drapes from a canopy above and puddles on the backs of her thighs.

A woman is on her back at the edge of a tall bed with hands and feet bound together and restrained above her head.

Regarding someone as a commodity considering them merely an instrument towards one’s sexual pleasure.

Treating a person as an object for use, with no regard for a person’s personality or sentience.

I'd recommend this as a great BDSM book, if you're looking for more of a story then I'd skip it. I haven't read any of the other Candace Blevins' books for fear that they'll all be this bland. It was just missing that edge to make it a book that I'd want to come back to. I kept waiting for something to go wrong or maybe more introspection or something. It's just all kind of middle of the road, trudging along and having fun sex in between.

The characters are nice and there's definitely potential. Aside from the BDSM and sex scenes, there was nothing remarkable about the story. When they came together sexually, some really explosive BDSM and sex came out of that. Likewise, Sam knows herself and doesn't question her desires or worry that being a sexual submissive and masochist somehow undermines her in other parts of her life. Ethan doesn't have these issues, he just likes to hurt women and he's totally cool with it. In many of the books I've read, SM is treated with kind of iffy attitude, often portraying the Sadist as damaged (Christian Grey comes to mind) or angst-y about trying to come terms with these desires.

I really liked that Ethan was a Sadist and that there was no stigma attached to it here. I thought that Candace Blevins did a great job representing a healthy scene interaction - the negotiation, the D/s and SM interaction within the scene itself was all done well. The writing was good and the story flowed well. Sam is my favorite & the relationship between her & Ethan the best developed & the hottest, in my opinion.

She writes well & I am always able to identify with her main female character, they are always strong, smart, women, & this one is no exception, a lawyer with several black belts. Even when there is something I don't find 'hot', I always find it interesting. While the particular kink might not appeal to me, she knows about it & presents it well, & I learn. But, she always knows what she is talking about/describing. Candace explores many kinks, with the majority being 'not my kink'. Review 1: The entire Safeword Matte story is my favorite of Candance's stories, with this book being my favorite in this series.
