Err… yes, he rides the line between ah… willing and consensual and non-so-willing, it can be a bit of a surprise. Ultimately, I had to give up his books because I found his handling of women too offensive in general. Maybe if I was a teenage boy at the time instead of a girl it wouldn't have bothered me as much.
Let me clarify ... it isn't the unwilling that bothers me, this happens in stories a lot it is the idea that when woman say "no" they really are saying "yes" and well... all that implies about our mental abilities and our communication skills... etc.
