This book handles describing the aftermath of SA very well in my opinion. Because it is so incredibly detailed in that regard, it will not be for everyone. However, other than one flashback, all of the rape fantasy scenes are consensual non-consent. The MC has both a verbal and nonverbal safe word throughout.

Please, before reading this book, be informed of the trigger warnings. There is explicit content and themes that are uncomfortable or distressing, so it's important to approach this book with caution and consider your personal boundaries.
Honestly, if you've read the trilogy of fifty shades, I don't think it's worth reading this. I mean, obviously, there are still differences, but it is simply the same; it is not unique. Also, most of the dialogue between the characters felt really forced. It is also pretty predictable.
Although I'll be reading the second book because I want to give it a fair chance and see if the story improves, I can't deny that there were some intriguing plot elements that kept me engaged, especially toward the end.
