Christmas in Freewill 

Christmas Eve, the Diamond Saloon is empty of its people, and Pearl la Monte has a hankering to retire early. A pounding at the Diamond’s door rids her of such a fool notion. Her irritation rises when she sees the prissy, polite-like Garrett standing outside.

Ethan Garrett has a powerful need to gain succor. When the saloon’s voluptuous redheaded singer scowls at him from the threshold of the Diamond, he doesn’t stop to think on how his ire at her has disappeared. Or how he just wants to spend some time in her company.

When a blizzard storms in, trapping them, will they spend their time arguing or find their irritation for each other disguises something more?
Cassandra grew up daydreaming, inventing fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures. Once she learned to read (First phrase – To the Beach. True story), she was never without a book, reading of other people’s fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures. Fairy tales, Famous Fives, fantasies and fancies; horror stories, gumshoe detectives, science fiction; Cassandra read it all. Then she discovered Romance and a true passion was born.  So, once upon a time, after making a slight detour into the world of finance, Cassandra tried her hand at writing. After a brief foray into horror, she couldn’t discount her true passion. She started to write Romance and fell head over heels. The love affair exists to this very day. Cassandra lives in Adelaide, South Australia.

 I used to read nothing but historical romances for the longest time. Glad I was given the chance to read this one. This was a great Christmas time story. Being that this is book two I am assuming that the characters were developed somewhat in book one. Since I did not get to read book one I felt this book needed a little more details to connect quicker with the characters. However, I did not have any problems connecting with the characters during their hot and sexy love scenes, or during Pearl's moments with the ornaments. As far as Ethan goes....where can I get me some of him??  Yummy....

This is a good, quick sexy read that is well written.

FMB Presents: Safeword:Quinacridone

Title: Safeword: Quincridone
Series: Safeword Series #6 
Author: Candace Blevins 
Genre: BDSM, Romance, Erotica (Intense BDSM, not sugarkink) 
Publisher: Excessica 
Format: Ebook 
Length: 305 pages, 118,000 words  
Buy Link: Amazon
Rating:  


What happens when an introverted artist who only likes sex when it’s a one-night stand meets a computer-geek-extraordinaire with his own sexy secrets? Objectification, romance, pain, adoration, lots of kinky toys, and oodles and oodles of wonderfully imaginative sex. Join Cara and Travis on their journey to mesh their distinctive sexual tastes into a loving relationship with blow-your-mind kink.

Ob•jec•ti•fi•ca•tion: 1. Treating a person as an object for use, with no regard for a person’s personality or sentience. 2. Regarding someone as a commodity; considering them merely an instrument towards one’s sexual pleasure.

Examples of OBJECTIFICATION: 1. A woman is on her back at the edge of a tall bed with hands and feet bound together and restrained above her head. A curtain drapes from a canopy above and puddles on the backs of her thighs. The man about to penetrate her sees only female genitals available for use. Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, extreme objectification, bondage, watersports, chemical play, fisting, temporary body modification with saline injections, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, plugs, paddles, whips, floggers, and zip-ties.

A woman is dressed in a full latex blow-up doll costume with durable latex ‘pockets’ stuffed into her orifices. She is bound into a position giving easy access to all three holes at a party. Her face is completely covered excepting nose and mouth. The men do not know who is in the costume. Safeword: Quinacridone is a stand-alone book. You do not need to have read the previous books in this series.


I need a long cold shower after reading this one!  I have to say that I have not read a detailed erotica such as this. The play scenes in this story were so well written that I could "see" them taking place. The BDSM scenes are intriguing and completely different than what I am used to reading. At first I was a little put off by Travis when the monster side of him came, but the author quickly drew me in to seeing his side and how he handled his urges. Cara's urges were a different matter for me. Not being in the lifestyle, I don't understand why a woman would want to be treated the way she craves, but then again, if I were to give it a try...who knows?  LOL  This story brought out all kinds of emotions and I couldn't put it down.  For me it was well worth the read and I look forward to more works like this from the author!

Candace Blevins is a southern girl who loves to travel the world.
She lives with her husband of 15 years and their two daughters. When not working or driving kids all over the place she can be found reading, writing, meditating, or swimming.
Candace writes romance books about characters who happen to have some extreme kinks. Relationships can be difficult enough without throwing power exchange into the mix, and her books show characters who care enough about each other to fight to make the relationship work.
Each book in the Safeword series highlights a couple with a different BDSM issue to resolve. All books are standalone books and can be read in any order, with the exception of the two Davenport books, since Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon is a sequel to Safeword: Davenport.

My Rating:

Wen has been in love with her neighbor, Thomas, for the last six months. Yet, with his schedule and her inability to welcome a new relationship, Wen is certain that her love will stay hidden. It does, until she learns that she’s being followed. Not wanting to intrude on her family, she calls Thomas. 
Can Thomas rescue Wen and his dream? Or will danger permanently keep him from both?
This is a quick, easy, fun and sexy read. The way the author writes makes you fall in love with the characters and the cover of this book is exactly what Hunter looks like in my dreams…I mean my head. When I first started reading the story I was extremely confused with the very first page. Moving past that, I was able to get into the story line and figure out what was going on. Having not read the first book, I was not familiar with the characters yet. I have the first book and plan on backtracking to read it too. I like how the author writes, with interesting plots that keeps your attention. I am looking forward to reading book one and any more that follow!


AJ grew up in a small southern town in Missouri where she learned a lot about the need for community as well as what it meant to work hard as she and her family lived on several acres outside of the city limits. Currently AJ lives in Kansas City Missouri with her husband and 2 small children and a small dog. AJ's first series is the Bounty for Hire Series Bounty for Hunter is the first book followed by Bounty’s End the second installment. Books 3 and 4 should be published by the end of 2013. Currently she is working on two other works in progress. AJ loves learning about new things, playing games with her family and listening to music. She loves romantic movies as well as science fiction. Science Fiction and fantasy movies are probably her favorite as they allow the mind to expand without boundaries.
At given time she can be found reading to her kids every day, instilling in them the importance of a good story. With that she can also be found in front of her computer typing away.
