Yes it’s a bully romance, but it is NOT a slow burn. The dark aspects of this book are primarily around consensual non-consent (CNC) that really toes the line of being CNC or SA. It is a dual POV book so you get the FMC’s and MMC’s perspective. They do eventually get to establishing a safe word. This book

does have

 a HEA and can be read as a stand alone.
