Reviews, Safeword: Davenport

Early reviews — 5 of 5!!!

The first review and rating are in from the ARC’s sent out for Safeword: Davenport, and both are a 5 of 5. I am seriously happy about that. I’m way too close to this story, and seeing that others like it is a relief I didn’t realize I’d feel. I wrote the first thirty or forty thousand words when my husband was in the hospital last year and we weren’t sure he was going to make it. I sat beside him in the hospital and typed as I listened to the machines that were keeping him alive. He pulled through, and as soon as the doctors started talking about the future I set the book aside for more than a year before I went back to it. Finishing it has been hard, much more difficult than I anticipated when I returned to it; but he’s back to 100% now, and it was time to finish it. The story got away from me and had to be split into two books:  Safeword: Davenport will be released July 6th, and Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon will be released August 3rd.

Welcome to Hot Summer Nights Bloghop

  Welcome blog hoppers! I’ll be giving away a copy of Safeword: Matte on Sunday evening, June 24th. There are three ways to enter.

If you’re already following me on Facebook or Twitter let me know who you are, and I’ll count it. Here’s the blurb: 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.   ————————————————————- Make sure you leave a way for me to contact you.

Cover!!! Safeword: Davenport

I have the cover for Safeword: Davenport, and I love it. This story has lots of emotion, and there is a particularly gut wrenching scene that happens on the edge of a cliff. Not a sexual thing, but an emotional one, and I love that we were able to incorporate it into the cover.
