I loved how unique this book was. First, it takes place in the martial arts world, which I don't really know a lot about, but it was interesting, and something very different. Sam is a fantastic character. Strong, intelligent, thoughtful, I could go on, but I need to get to Ethan, because he is just about perfect. One of the things I especially liked about Safeword Matte, was that there was no "manufactured" conflict like many romance books seem to have to have in them. Ethan and Sam move naturally through the course of their relationship, communicated with each other well and have hot, hot sex. No artificial conflict necessary.My only gripe (and I mean this as more of a compliment to the author) is it was too short. I'd definitely love to see a follow-up to their story.By the way, the first book in this series, Safeword Rainbow is also awesome, so I would definitely check that out too if you haven't already. I was afraid the BDSM scenes might be too intense for me, but they are written so well, that even if it's not your "thing" it's still a wonderful read. I haven't read the second one, Safeword Stormclouds yet, but I didn't feel like I needed to in order to read this one.
