Hated this book, it's trash
Hated this book. I saw a few episodes of the TV series and it seemed OK, so I thought I would try the book series. I won't be reading any more of her books. She seems to have a creepy obsession with rape and sexual violence. There are WAY too many sex scenes, so many that it got tiresome. These scenes are very graphic, as are the descriptions of rape.
***SPOILERS****
I had to draw the line, though, at the "hero" beating the heroine because she "deserves it", then telling her after that he enjoyed beating her, and she is basically ok with that and falls in love with him. No, this not OK, nor is it at all romantic. It's sick. I was disgusted and disappointed by this book. It also seems homophobic because the only gay characters are creepy rapists. This book belongs in the trash.
