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.

4.5* - this book has wrecked me!
I read this as part of @fandomtasticpod's #readtastic22 reading challenge and O.M.G.
First of all, a book that has the Rape of Proserpina on it's cover immediately grabbed my attention and once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I found it to be one of the most tastefully done representations of a consensual non-con relationship. The dichotomies in this book, holey cow - both erotic & wholesome, dangerous & caring.
I am in love with both Vivienne & Jonah, and the way it ended...not necessarily a cliff-hanger but a how do they move forward - I can't wait to find out!
