Matte (Safeword 3) by Candace Blevins

Summary:

Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is the word used in some forms of martial arts to stop a fight. It’s the Japanese word for stop or wait. Sam (short for Samantha) has made a hobby out of learning the various fighting disciplines, but she also happens to be a sexual submissive. What better safeword than matte?

Sam wants to find someone to submit to who she can’t beat in a fight. She’s tried to make it work with men from the scene who know nothing about fighting, but it doesn’t feel real to her – she needs someone who can truly control her. However, after dating from the fight scene and discovering not all guys like to spank their girlfriends, she’s decided to just back away from the whole dating thing for a while… until Fate decides to step in.

Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, and use of toys including crops, clamps, canes, and floggers.

Finally a BDSM book that's not fluff. What do I mean when I say fluff? They give a warning at the start saying warning of nipple clams and some other BDSM practises but that's it.

It's a great name for this book. The hero and heroine are both involved in the martial art scene and that's where the name comes from.

I’m not a expert or anything on this genre but I immensely enjoyed this book as the Dom/sub relationship is heavily featured and they don’t hide it from their friends. I have to give this book 4 stars.
