Review: Davenport by Candace Blevins

Safeword: Davenport

Dana has never submitted to anyone but her husband — he trained her, taught her to submit. He’s been dead a year and a half though, and she’s beginning to consider the possibility of dating again. She sticks to vanilla at first, but quickly realizes she’s going to need more. As she’s considering the idea of finding someone who would enjoy hurting her without requiring her submission, her life is complicated by a Dom who pushes all of her buttons.

Safeword: Davenport is the first half of Dana’s story, it’s the personal part of her journey, and has a Happy for Now ending. Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon is scheduled for release August 3, 2012, and will give the rest of her story.

Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, intense sensory deprivation, extreme electrical play, enemas, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, plugs, cages, paddles, whips, and floggers.

I obtained the above information from Ms. Candace's website!

Now if you are still here after Candace's warning of the book.... Then I will just say that I am a very big fan of Candace's work... So the only warning I will give you is that this book is a slight more darker than the other three books in this series. The BDSM really goes dark. I am not saying this as a scaring kinda warning, just a warning because this is not a light, fluffy.... "Oh look how cute she is in handcuffs" kinda book.. This is a serious tale of the path of re-discovery. Now let's get on with the review...

Ms. Candace has done another wonderful job at soaking the pages with such detail, passion and emotion that you will just keep reading until you hit the last page... And then you find out that the story is not quite done yet... You will continue to read this story with such a fever that you will be dying to know... What happened...

This is a tale of one woman on a path of re self discovery. Having lost her better half more than a year ago she knows it is time to move on... But does her heart and soul and submission know that it is time. She has been with a few different men, some more pleasing than others... But no one has been able to tap into her submission side... Nor has anyone been able to handle her sadistic side... That is until she meets..... Zach.

Dana knows that life goes on. She knows that love will grow in her heart again, but she doesn't know if she will ever be able to submit the way she did to her deceased husband. Dana has her career but what she craves is a master... Maybe... The not knowing part is what is killing her. When she meets Zach and sees a promise in his eyes... She knows what she wants and goes for it.... But is Zach ready to handle a woman like Dana.

Zach is recreating himself after the death of his wife... His new project puts a woman in his path that highly intrigues him. It actually goes beyond intriguing... He wants to own her, dominate her.... But he knows a kinder spirit when he sees one... She has been on the same path as him... But it isn't living if you don't open your heart and live.....

To watch these two together is just extremely hot.... And I want to go on gushing about these two but in my heart I need to tell you about the discovery of Dana... This book is about her opening herself up to life again... To love again... To have pleasure and pain again... To surrendering again... This books had many things... You will find pleasure, pain, lust, blind love, friendship, trust..... But you will also find discovery.

On Dana's road of discovery, she will rekindle an old friendship that will enhance the plot... And make you keep reading and hoping for the ending you know you want.... But Candace will keep you hanging.... Because the next book Davenport and Chiffon is the ending to a perfect story....

Stay tune for an interesting interview & giveaway
