This would be a 5 star read if it weren’t for the homophobia by the author and some of the other things that were more common in romance books written around the same time as this (originally published in ‘91 I think). Two men in the book are supposedly gay. One is a pedophile/rapist and barely has a part in the book, and the other is a torturer/rapist and does have a bigger part in the book.
