Safe Word - Season 3 - General Discussion

KalindaKing

For years, you've been a Provider at Masquerade – an upscale escort agency that makes people's deepest erotic dreams come true. You’re faced with a new challenge when the head of the agency retires and handpicks you as her replacement. The business has been struggling, so you need to transform Masquerade while keeping with its original purpose: helping people cast off their inhibitions, live out their deepest sexual fantasies, and find their truest selves. And you're going to do it by becoming the best Provider, mentor, and sex guru you can be!

Masquerade’s strength is fantasy fulfillment and creating lasting, titillating memories, so you want to create ones that will last a lifetime. Your strategy is to go all-out with amped-up set pieces that use multiple Providers to bring intense, passionate, and unforgettable role-playing experiences to life. But it’s not easy to juggle mentoring new providers, handling clients with different tastes, making the right choices in the heat of the moment, and becoming deeply involved in providing these fantasies. All the while, you’re tangled in the growing web of your own complicated relationships.

You continue to engage with your trio of paramours: Reese Redding, your former boss who craves to be bossed around in bed; Ellis Darby, a commanding client who had you breaking all the rules; and Priya Patel, your former roommate, fellow Provider, and closest friend. They’re all here to help you with the agency. But drama inevitably arises with each one, in turn, further complicating your hectic life.

Now that you’re free to run Masquerade how you desire, is it going to be enough?

What do you think of the 3rd season so far?

Please remember to format your spoilers before you post.

I don’t like the poster🙈
Ellis and Reese look different.. And I liked it more with my character on it..

Then what the heck do you call the cop scenario you played?? 

EliMarsh1515

I absolutely love the new season!!!! 😍

With all your covers or title pictures, it would be neat again to have our characters on the cover with the characters instead of the standard cover.

I found this new season of Safe Word very sexy and hot. It will be a good season.

@ everyone talking about our character not being on the cover, doesn't the cover change to one with our character a little while later? From what I've seen, every time a new book is added, it's initially the standard cover, then after a few weeks it's updated to have our MC on it.

EliMarsh1515

WHAT THE 

Didn't see that one coming!😱

RaymondSilverstein7788

@EliMarsh1515 Oh my god, now I know it's going to be a good season. I knew she was going to turn up sooner or later. I hate Peyton with a burning passion.

The male version of Reese's scene posted by @EliMarsh1515 😏

MerrittRutherford1330

I may not being romancing her, but I will kill him lmao. I hate Peytooooon. 

AdelaideWindsor

OMG 

What is Peyton doing here. Nope, I didn’t choose Reese to be loyal just to have some bitch take him from me lol if something happens I’m going Ellis all the way! 

PhoebeMurphy5681

@AdelaideWindsor, I’m the opposite!

I choose Ellis. But, if Peyton tries to take Reese away, I definitely would stop her, because Peyton is such a bitch. I’d pull my MC from UTP if I could, just to hex Peyton. She’s up to no good!

I would love to watch Reese put her in her place, just to show how far he’s come since Safe Word.

Nazario

Ok Peyton better not try anything because Reese is all mine! (tho I still bought that scene with him in book 1)

Also I'm loving the Masquerade storyline in book 3, excited to see what kind of new clients we get!

AdelaideWindsor

@PhoebeMurphy5681 for sure, would love to see that. Reese has come a long way! 

samxvn

It looks like Priya and MC are teaming up again in next episode, we love to see it!

I’d also like to see the silver fox from the VIP club again.

And the art in this season, the bar is raised once again 🥵

So, aside from the frequency/excessive price of the diamond choices, is anyone else really annoyed by the WAY a lot of them are presented? Specifically: very often, a character in the story will say “look! I got you an awesome present!” or “let’s go out for a fancy evening - I’m paying!” But in order to accept the gift, you have to pay a bunch of diamonds first! It’s STRUCTURALLY jarring, takes me right out of the story, and feels... sort of tacky?

This happens all over the place, but most recently I was replaying one of the chapters from Safe Word part 2 - you’re out at the bar and Reese says “I took the liberty of paying for a private room.” And then when I refuse to spend the diamonds, Reese is like “why - because he’s here?” No dude, it has nothing to do with Ellis, I just don’t like “gifts” that are actually shakedowns.  😂😂

AliceMayfair

Also annoyed that I can’t have male Reese / female Ellis, or at least be able to easily swap the characters’ genders without having to replay from the very beginning. Female Reese doesn’t do that much for me, but I vastly prefer female Ellis - the guy version sort of skeeves me out. I do love the ability to gender-swap the love interests, but it would be great to see more flexibility in how that feature is implemented.

Nazario

I agree about the weird way some diamond choices are presented, and not just in this story. Make them make sense! One of the worst examples is in Courtship 1, when we get a letter from George and we have to pay to keep reading it, or take the free option to throw it in the trash. Like, we're holding the letter in our hands, why do we have to pay to read it?

JadeGeiger94

Hope we get a cover with the female version of Reese and Ellis. Looking at this one just feels weird because those aren't my love interests! 😬

Really loving the art for this season though. I wasn't sure how I felt about the protagonist taking over Masquerade, but I'm digging it now.

EliMarsh1515

Yes HELLO can we talk about that art and that scene:

Also, for now we don't have a lot on Peyton

samxvn

@EliMarsh1515 damnn she looks hot! Here is the male version.

EliMarsh1515

@samxvn meh, not that bad, I have to say! 

PhoebeMurphy5681

@samxvn, I assume Ellis didn’t take that paddle out to play ping pong. There might be some balls and scoring involved, though. 😉

Thanks for the pic, @samxvn!

samxvn

@PhoebeMurphy5681

lmao, there sure was!

AdelaideWindsor

@PhoebeMurphy5681 I love your comments 😆

PhoebeMurphy5681

@AdelaideWindsor, I love yours, too! I always make sure to read anything you say on a thread!!! 

KennedyBianchi

me throughout every episode pf every season: for sure im 100% team reece

me in s03e04:

okay but if lee became a li option—

JenniferDraven3258

I choose Ellis at the end of Season 2. I don’t understand why my MC is still entangled with Reese sexually. It’s a continuity annoyance. 

MerrittRutherford1330

@JenniferDraven3258 Exactly!!!

Like????? Excuse me?? I dont want Reese. I never chose Reese. I'm not  pursuing Reese. We're not in a relationship.  Did it seriously not enter the writer's heads how rapey this comes across??

NeveBlack6568

Reece feels exactly like Jules in Famous. Constantly hot and cold, hot and cold – mate, listen. I don't have time for your bullshit and baggage when someone like Ellis is all in from day dot. Grow TF up!!!! Ain't nobody got time for this!

Ellis all the way 🖤
