Safeword: Quinacridone is a stand-alone book. You do not need to have read the previous books in this series.
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.
2. 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.
This is the basis of Safeword: Quinacridone, Cara's kink is the need to be objectified, when she meets the uber rich, and equally as kinky in his own way, Travis a relationship unlike any you have read develops.
I can not stress to you enough if you don't like you BDSM on the (for lack of a better word) darker side you wont like this book, however if seeing a relationship build between two people who have some pretty extreme kinks and the lengths they will go to for each other and the love they have for one another then you will love Safeword: Quinacridone.
This book pushed some of my own hard limits in what I read, I don't usually take on the review of a book that includes watersports and the extremes of objectification was just that extreme however Ms. Blevins was able to write all of that into a lovestory that draws you in, characters that you want to love and in a manner that you understand that is what the character wanted it is their kink that they are not being abused or mistreated. That can be a hard sell when it comes to understanding the need of someone to go to the extremes that take place in this book however it is written in such a way that you do understand.
My hat is off to Candace Blevins for taking a subject that can be difficult to get right and writing it so that it is understandable and an integral part of the love shared by Cara and Travis.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Intense read about two opposites one an artist one a geek. Without divulging to much you have Cara and Travis, one prefers no strings attached sex while one would like to explore something deeper more profound. A bargain is drawn and boundaries are explored while Travis and Cara find they are becoming to mean more to one another than they ever imagine, but both carry their own demons and in order to move forward they will have to trust each other implicitly. Travis is magnetic, you find yourself drawn to him and throughout the story he continues to draw you in. Creative read, not for the light hearted.

4 “Don’t Judge Me” Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Read for the 2019 DE A-Z Challenge
This author has quite a knack for creating characters and telling a story. The truth is, the whole “objectification” kink this book explored was a little... technical for me, at least some of the time. Some of it was hot- ie the BDSM/slave chapters- but during some of the other scenes, I was skipping paragraphs because I don’t really care how things are set up and even if I did, I’m not creative enough to visualize it anyway. I mean, I guess it’s cool to turn someone into a puppet, but I don’t need a guidebook on how to do it.
I’m not going to waste my time reviewing this one because honestly, I don’t think the majority of people will be into it. The kink is extreme and even though I was neither squicked or turned on, I think most people would probably lean towards the former. It was original, though, which I appreciated. It was also very well-written. I’m definitely going to read more from this author, because I can only imagine how much I’ll love it if it gets my motor running 😉

4.5 Stars... Just barely not a 5...
Is it bad that I enjoyed this book? I'm beginning to think not... Be prepared for the unrelenting horniness that will strike.... and strike... and strike...
The sex scenes were great; the build-up phenomenal and the storyline really warmed you up to where you needed to be.... The plot was a little strange and there was some cheesy romantic moments that made me roll my eyes but still smile.
This was by no means light and the warning in the blurb should tell you all you need to know... although, if that warning strikes your fancy; get yourself a quiet room and a day or 2 to yourself as you settle in...
