The spicy scenes are fairly spicy but the darkness of the romance motivates the hero to do something pretty unforgivable at the beginning and I'm not sure he's really forgivable by the end. The non-spice plot also takes an icky turn in the last quarter. I guess it was actually a little too dark for me.
