I am not quite sure what kind of book this is supposed to be.  It isn't really a romance, unless you find relationships between abusive psychopaths and their victims romantic.  There are a lot of sex scenes,  so maybe erotica.  It isn't a drama,  there is too much of the poor kid raving about how great the sex is for that.Basically,  it is about a stripper and rape victim who meets an organized crime boss.  The boss is physically and emotionally abusive,  but the kid falls in love with him because he has a "good heart"  and anyway,  he is always really sorry when he does something awful.The kid is totally codependent and keeps going back,  forgiving everything when he is thrown scraps of affection. Not one person tells him at any time that he should not subject himself to abuse (his best friend says "whatever floats your boat."So,  yeah,  it is basically the story of the average abusive relationship.  If you dream of a relationship like that,  you'll love this book.  It is like Pretty Woman,  if Richard Gere had been violent and bloodthirsty,  but Julia Roberts didn't have the self esteem to turn him down.
