Review: getting way too violent for me

I love The Phoenix Club stories as a whole and really loved Abel and Caleb's stories. Though Abel's had underage rape in it, it did not go into great detail of the abuse. We didn't need the details spelt out for us. In Caleb's story it was a very graphic violent, barely legal rape. Too much detail for my taste. But Angel, damn that was cruelly over the top and I DO NOT EVER want or need that much detail about the continual rape of a child. The HEA that I wanted for the characters was not there because you will never convince me that what that child suffered by the hands of the one he loves could all be forgiven. The writer didn't give the MC enough of a connection on a different level like in Abel and Caleb's for you to even feel a HEA was even on the horizon. Instead the rape was the connection. Puke!!! I'd have given this no stars if I had the choice on this part of the series but the 1 star I do give it is for Gabe's upcoming story because I adore Gabe. However if it has a sick (and I think of a better word for it) story line to it than I have to give up on the series no matter how much I want to hear the others stories. Sorry but this one struck a "we don't go there" nerve in me.
