This was...something. I knew this had some kink, but the opening to this caught me completely off guard. I appreciate that RW doesn't make it seem like sex/relationships will solve complex trauma, no matter how 'perfect' the other person seems. There is one scene that gave me the ick because of the racial dynamics, but overall this was pretty good. The ending kind o fell off a cliff, but its starting to seem like that's a feature in a lot of her books. I don't know if I'll continue the series or not.
