Knot My Problem by Sinclair Kelly
4.0
I enjoyed the book overall mainly for the action, but whew, trigger warnings galore needed. There was an author's note in the beginning, but all it said was that "please do your due diligence, check the trigger warnings on my website, and turn the page with caution." That is way more work than the average reader will do, and I think the warnings should have just been given in the note directly - not even a link was provided for easy clicking. I was personally okay with pretty dark stuff, but the first page literally started with a very graphic abuse scene, and there was graphic torture in the rest of the book, too.
For the record, these are the warnings I finally found on the author's website after clicking around multiple pages to find them:
The age gap romance was a pretty big emphasis in the relationships, and I wasn't convinced that it was really necessary or believable. Everyone's personality was quite one-dimensional, and while it was said that all the men in the harem were ex-military, it was hand-wavy. I don't feel like I learned much about most of the men other than a few characteristics - we didn't get anything about their families, histories, or even much about their jobs.
While there were definitely lots of issues, none were bad enough to make me feel like I wouldn't re-read this book in the future if I was in the mood.
