5 Hearts from Sizzling Hot Books

Robin at Sizzling Hot Books gave the new edition of Safeword: Rainbow a Five Heart review, and said: Safeword: Rainbow is very well-written; the writing flows naturally and I couldn’t put the book down. The hero and heroine are fascinating characters, multi-dimensional and people I would be interested in meeting. The sex scenes are so full of description that I can close my eyes and easily picture everything. She also warns: Safeword: Rainbow is hardcore BDSM so if you’re looking for some kinky, sensual play and light BDSM then you will most likely not be comfortable reading this book. She had lots more nice things to say — check out her review to see the rest. ————————————————————- Buy it at:

New Quinacridone cover — and a short excerpt

It seems the old cover was just too much for Amazon. I still prefer the original, but hopefully this one will pass through Amazon’s censors. Notice his hands holding her to the wall? Here’s the passage in the book this picture reminds me of: Cara decided to step to the side to avoid him since her back was to the car; but when she shifted her weight he reached for the nape of her neck and lowered his lips to hers. His hands held her head and his body blocked hers with no hesitation and no doubts, as if her pulling away had compelled him to hold her in place. It wasn’t the kiss she expected. He controlled her mouth, her lips, her entire body; and she melted into him as he took over. His lips slid on hers as his tongue invaded without tentatively seeking permission, building a slow arousal until her breath caught and her blood pulsed in her ears. He slid his lips to her cheek before pulling away, but kept his hand on the back of her head and looked into her eyes. Not saying anything, just looking. She felt as if he were claiming her, and she was ready to let him. Wait. What? This was the geek who couldn’t make conversation?   ______________________________________________________________________ Buy it at:

Release Day – Safeword: Rainbow, the extended edition

I’m excited about this new edition of my first published work. I’ve learned a lot since I originally wrote it, and I believe the writing is tighter, the emotions are more intense, and the descriptions are fewer and farther between. The first rating has hit Goodreads, and it’s  a five star, so I hope this means the readers agree. You’ll find buy links for most of the major retailers below the blurb. Tyler and Viv have found each other again after a three day fling three years ago. Ideally suited for each other, they try to make a relationship work. However, they soon realize Tyler was expecting a 24/7 total power exchange and Vivian will never be a full-time submissive. As they try to find a compromise, Viv must deal with what a Total Power Exchange means, even if it’s only a part time power exchange, and Tyler must decide if he can live with a sometimes-Master and sometimes-boyfriend relationship. Will they find their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? This title was published in 2010 with less than half of the current content. The story has been considerably rewritten and contains a great deal of new material for your reading enjoyment. I think it’s a far better story now, but if you read the original, you can be the judge! ————————————————————- Buy it at: Release Date: November 1, 2013 Read an excerpt at candaceblevins.com/safeword-rainbow/
