Safeword: Arabesque is an unbelievable story written by an author who brings love, trust and sexuality to life with the written word. An extraordinary book written with the flare and elegance that Candace Blevins is known for. ~ Kitty, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
Cassie’s introduction to kink throws her for a loop until a friend and his slave give her a gentle introduction. Unfortunately, her friend has issues when it comes to kinky activities with women, so Cassie goes looking for someone else to teach her.
She knows how to be safe, but a disastrous adventure ends with an ambulance ride to the emergency room, and the three men it hasn’t worked out with all come together to nurse her back to health.
Two Doms and two submissives in one house should be a nightmare waiting to happen, though under the right circumstances could be a dream come true.
Warning: Contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, male/male sexual practices, bondage, male chastity devices, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, paddles, floggers, plugs, and gags.
Readers with a history of rape may find elements of this story disturbing.
Safeword: Arabesque is a stand-alone book. You do not need to have read the previous books in the series.
I was so looking forward to Arabesque because it was killing me not knowing what was going to 
happen to Frisco, Cassie and Cam. Well, to my surprise, it didn’t go the way that I thought it would. But, I loved the twist Candace Blevins did take with the book.
Ladies, meet Master Isaac. Please, don’t swoon or pass out but ogle all you want. A gentleman, a Master, a Dom, a Sadist of the first degree. And, giving Frisco a run for his money with both Cassie and Cam. The twist … well, no spoilers here!
Again, there is a warning with Safeword: Arabesque as there was in No Safeword: Happily Ever After. Cassie, Frisco and Cam are spotlighted in the Matte Series but, if you haven’t read them, you will have no problem reading Arabesque as a stand-alone. But I do highly recommend, if you like BDSM romances, that you read anything that you could get your hands on by Candace Blevins.
There is so much that happens in Arabesque that bring Frisco, Cassie, Cam and Isaac apart and then together that, summarizing the story gives too much away. Suffice it to say that Frisco has some demons that he has to face and it takes losing Cassie and Cam for him to realize what it is that is missing in his life. Opening his heart is going to be the toughest thing he has done in his life. Then he has to face his family as he admits that he’s in love … with a man and a woman. But, to get Cassie and Cam to trust him again, he will do whatever it takes.
Enter Master Isaac. As he takes Cassie under his wing and starts falling in love with her, he ends up facing some cold, hard facts. Cassie is the Submissive that he always wanted but may be out of reach to him when he finds out who began showing her the BDSM lifestyle. It all comes together when she tells him her safeword: Arabesque.
Cassie and Cam become best of friends when Frisco throws Cam out of his house for declaring his love for him. Together they start building their lives without Frisco until Cassie lives through the biggest nightmare of her life. Frisco is back … he refuses to leave and is begging both of them for forgiveness. With the help of Isaac, Frisco is able to open up to Cam and they start rebuilding their relationship. Cassie is being stubborn and doesn’t know if she wants to trust her heart to a man that will not give her what she needs.
There is a solution though and as Cassie and Cam both start falling in love with Master Isaac, Frisco has to face the fact that there is only one way for everything to work out the way they want it. It’s time for him to submit to Isaac, stop treating Cassie with kid gloves, give Cam everything that he is asking for and build the life that they all want, together.
Filled with explicit BDSM, extreme BDSM, erotic scenes that will have you squirming in your seat, Candace Blevins weaves a tale of love, trust and sexuality. She brings together four people from different backgrounds, all with fears that have to be faced to move forward. She brings to life a tale of a survivor in only the way that Candace Blevins could – with love and understanding. She brings to life a tale of a man with a fear that he does not think he could overcome but bears the training so that he could be a part of their lives. Together they form a unit, face their families and begin their lives together.
