Like I said, I bought it because I DID like her 'Bad Boys' series, and was expecting something along those lines, maybe steamier with the way the hype/secrecy was around the book.

Anyways I chalk it up to a lesson learned for me, I bought it at Kobo and can't return it, if I'd bought it at Amazon I would have returned it the second I got to that part of the book, for the same reasons I mentioned above.

I was just trying to let people know who wanted it what the deal was without spoiling the plot. But there we have it.

This whole thing has made me feel very uncomfortable and I hope nobody's offended that I brought it up. I was trying to be considerate of all people's tastes here and not offend one side or the other. And I'm going to try to stop babbling now and go read.
Thanks for letting us know. I don't want to support authors who pull this kind of junk. I have no problem with BDSM that is safe. That is the problem with 50 Shades it doesn't show a healthy BDSM relationship. It sounds like this book may has some similar issues. So much misinformation out there these days.
