To be totally fair to the author warns in the title pages that this book is a very dark erotica. I've read "dark erotica" before, especially books with those tormented male figures, but this was too disturbing for me. Both the male and female had serious sexual abuse as children and it was brought up often throughout the novel.***SPOILER ALERT***The sexy beast is a woman beater. Yeah. He punches, leaves black eyes and crap on his previous female lovers. He punched our girl in the stomach. I can't deal with that. Heavy BDSM scenes with a lot of pain - I can handle it, love it. Punching a female in the stomach while she's tied up - not so much. Also the girl was waaay too easy. Two seconds after Dimitri "the beast" had her trussed up she's wet and ready? She's ready to stay with him after barely 24hrs? To leave her sister at the hands of her rapist father? WTF? Our heroine here has some serious daddy baggage and it ruins most of the sex scenes for me personally. I want to enjoy an erotic novel with really dirty rough sex because it's what the characters enjoy - not because they were conditioned as children to like. I mean...thinking about it makes my stomach roll. The only reason I'm giving this book two stars and not one is because the sex scenes (if you can skip over the major daddy issues) would be SO HOT. I mean BLAZE-MY-FREAKING-BRAIN hot.
