Review: Uncomfortable read, not a kinky one

The problem I had with this book was that we didn't get enough from her, so the S&M; came off as abusive more than anything else. Sorry, but a guy telling her that she needs to be hurt when he has no idea who she is and she has absolutely no reason to trust him? Totally offensive, even with the paranormal component. I wouldn't have had issue with it if we'd gotten a similarly strong message from her (even if the message was 'OMG, I don't want to need this but I do'). There just wasn't enough of that, so he came off as an arrogant douche who enjoyed forcing a woman into something she wasn't ready for. And the fact that he was preparing her for the big...climax, but didn't actually tell her anything and just kept her begging and worrying wasn't cool or hot.This was fairly uncomfortable for me to read, and frankly, that doesn't happen very often.
