kb_sherman's review against another edition

As someone in academia, I’m increasingly uninterested in books that explore or transgress workplace boundaries.

mdemanatee's review against another edition

3.5

I enjoyed this one but it was not light and easy, and deals with a lot of subject matter that could be triggering for readers without warning.

Heavy domestic trauma, including an attempted rape. The romance didn't give me enough warm fuzzy feelings to make up for that, lots of descriptive sex, not a ton of emotional development.
