This book is intended for mature audiences.
I can handle the smut but not without believable characters and a plot that isn't so obvious and predictable. Won't be reading the other two.

I am reading this because of the hype. I guess, I am done with this kinds of books.
Reading this book was one of the most painful and infuriating experiences of my life. Before I read it, I thought maybe it would dispel some of the myths about BDSM, but I was very wrong.

I just hope people who don't know any better don't think that all people who are emotionally scarred end up not only adopting the BDSM lifestyle, but coersing someone who clearly isn't mentally ready for such an experience. There's enough stigma associated with BDSM without this book adding to it.
