There is a sex scene in every chapter. Spice is high. I struggled because it was a different type of consensual, she said no but was responding to it happily. However for me a no means no.

It's basically just sex with some after thought story

Don't bother reading this. Apart from finding several typos, this book was also not well written. The characters were contradicting themselves at each turn. There was barely any plot and no development of actually personalities. The treatment of the main character is literally just abusive and there are no redeeming qualities to her either.
