Sexual assault/violence:

The hero hunts for the heroine because she’s his mate, finds her and chases her, then forces her to take him back to her hotel room. He sort of threatens to rape her multiple times throughout the book, and forces his touch on her when she says she doesn’t want it and coerces her into touching him. There is no actual rape, however.

Torture / Confinement:

The hero was imprisoned by enemies and forced to endure prolonged torture by fire. There isn’t a lot of description in the book.

Violence:

The hero severs his own leg in order to escape imprisonment. Also, there are multiple scenes with vampire dismemberment and beheadings.

3/5 spice 5/5 characters. 
Honestly loved this book. It has good explicit scenes. no consent issues but some rougher but consentual scenes. 
Character growth is great growth but not change the characters. 
Trigger warning This has virginity and mate bond stuff

3.5

 I started reading after listening to the full readalong by the Fated Mates podcast, and knowing all the big spoilers did not lessen my enjoyment of this book even a little bit.
Excepting a few scenes, which I'd like to think would not be Like That had this book been written more recently. For those scenes from the beginning, he most certainly Did Not Grovel Enough.
