If the FMC is contemplating going to the police, it isn't dub-con... It's just rape. The MMC is a rapist. Have a nice day.

If this book was your cup of tea, great. It wasn't mine. I would have liked Killian a lot better if he didn't rape her; but I just couldn't get past that. I did love the scene  with him and his dad in the end, though. It showed a side to him I really liked.

I didn't think I would ever say this but this is too dark for me,.?

I love CNC, love all the kinks, haunting adeline or den of vipers: give it to me, love even a little bit of dub con dabbled in. Morally grey, even dark grey is a total green flag in my book.

But this, this is just glorified rape. Why would someone enjoy this. There isn't even a question about it. It.is.straight.up.rape.

While doing the deed she cried and doesn't want it and is forced to do it,  (we have her perspective, she really doesn't want to) and afterwards she does stereotypical rape things like washing excessively bc she feels dirty.

He is a straight up psychopath. Which I might be able to tolerate if there is a shred of humanity left, like in most books.

But in this one, there really is no emotion, no guilt, and everything else you need from a Ted Bundy esc serial killer and rapist.

Because that's what he is.

I'm all for dark romance.

But this is glorified rape porn.

As someone who has been raped more times that I can actively remember, RAPE IS !NOT FUN! AND SHOULD NEVER EVER BE ROMANTACISED OR GLORIFIED.

Way too over hyped. From an ethical standpoint this book is very debatable.

If i could give this book 0 stars I would. 

Grape and SA romanticisation is disgusting and the author should be ashamed.

-writing is bad and very repetitive
-authors of dark romance desperately need to research what cnc is because this is not it. it's noncom (maybe dubcon but I disagree); either way it's SA
-also you can't feel a hymen.

I don't think I've ever read Rina Kent but I don't plan on trying any of her other books. similar to h.d. carlton's haunting adeline--absolute garbage
