I read this story from the Bend Anthology and while I didn't finish Bend, I did finish a couple of stories and decided to write an individual review for them.***spoilers ahoy***There is a difference between a husband and wife acting out a "rape fantasy" and a husband who paid someone to abduct, drugged and rape his wife. Look, I'm no stranger to fantasy rape books. I enjoyed Cara Mckenna's Willing Victim, which, in my own opinion, was a clear "rape fantasy" book. Both MCs knew what they were in for. The heroine knew what she was in for. This one did not. No matter how I looked at it or thought about it, this book left a bitter taste in my mouth. I don't hate Lilly for having these fantasies. But I hated the way these fantasies were explored. I hated that her power to choose to act on these fantasies were taken away from her. Hated it.Was it well written? It was okay. Did it deserve to get pulled from Amazon? Probably not. I've seen a lot worse than this book on Amazon. But fantasy or not, the criticisms for this book are still valid.I'm sure Ms. Bromberg is a nice person and a talented author but this one gets a big fat no for me. Sorry, but I won't be recommending this book.
