I would rate this lower than 1 star if I could.

I am dismayed (to put it mildly) at this author's apparently consistent unhealthy portrayal of sex. I had the same problem with the first in her Charley Davidson series. In both cases, what could have set the stage for a fun and empowering series with a strong, sassy female protagonist—including relationship-building with supporting characters and a great deal of humor—instead, presents as a poor excuse for entertainment. No amount of the good parts of these books makes up for the sexual violence.

Sex is a normal, healthy, and wonderful act between consenting adults. A person who is raped does not have feelings of sexual or romantic attraction toward their attacker/abuser. Rape is not a sexual act—it is a violent and criminal act—a horrible violation that should never be sensationalized or normalized as desirable or sexy, and should never be considered entertainment.

I don't find this vile portrayal acceptable from authors of any gender, and I am aghast that any writer who uses this theme (and there are plenty) is wildly popular.
