This is the second time I’ve read a Sadie Kincaid book, and it’s the second time I’ve been disappointed by how she writes about trauma. I’m all for authors connecting kink to trauma and trauma recovery, & I can appreciate an attempt to make a character seem empowered. Unfortunately, the way she writes about her female characters just breezing past their **horrific** abusive pasts takes me right out of the story and kills her credibility. There is a way to write a smutty romance heroine with a traumatic past. This is not it. 

If you’re going to write gruesome trauma into the story or pasts of your characters, do it with care.
