I would rate this book a zero if I could.  I've read a lot of Lena Matthews since I discovered her books a few days ago, but I just ground to a halt with "Sleepless Beauty".  I didn't really connect with the hero or heroine at all, mainly because they were into pain during sex.  I don't get that at all, but I continued on because it wasn't a major part of hte story line.I couldn't go any further when, about 76% into the book, during sex, Cyrus asks the Nicole if she wants him to hurt her, she says yes, and he proceeds to strangle her during sex; she called it "breath play".  What the hell?  I felt like I was in an episode of Law and Order SVU all of a sudden.  I tried to continue but just couldn't and I returned the book because I couldn't think anything but, "Ugh!" after that.  So not worth my money.  As a matter of fact, the fact that I'm writing about it now shows how negatively I feel towards this book and I feel like I should get paid (and not just get my money back!) for the bait and switch that the author pulled with this 1.So, my suggestion...skip this one.  Jump WAAAAYYY past it.  Keep walking, sister, and don't look back.
