Review: Fairytale characteristics
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 24, 2012
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Non-con is a real issue for me & I have, on more than one occasion, started a non-con book & had to give up because I have found it too disturbing & confronting. For some reason, 'The Trap' didn't push past my comfort zone. It felt more like an intense seduction than a kidnap.Yes Ethan was jerk. Yes David was, at times, weak & vapid. Yes it was an unrealistic scenario. But I think the fact that I couldn't personally relate to anything in the book, I was able to suspend belief & enjoy the ride.Even though there was a kidnap & coercive seduction, the BDSM in this book is very light & sugary. I found it difficult to put down & was happy with the HEA. The book has it faults but it was an overall enjoyable read. The sex was nicely written too. If you want stark realism or hard-core non-con, this isn't the book for you. If you like an arrogant, confident, alpha who can read minds & never steps a foot wrong, then this book might appeal.Originally posted on Goodreads.com
