She's pawned off on editor Zach Easton, who is notorious in his own right-as a no-holds barred editor who kicks his authors' asses there and back again. This is a book about notorious erotica writer, Nora Sutherlin, who is writing a book.
And I'm saying a lot about what this book isn't, and not a whole lot about what it is.
At least, what I mean by this is: while there is a good amount of sex in the book, it's not that kind of sex-takes over the page and leaves no room for anything else. If you're looking for erotica for the pure sexual thrill, this book isn't it, either. If you are looking for a comfort read, or something that's going to leave you with a happy glow at the end, this is not that book. There are parts of this book that left me very uncomfortable-and which I am still very uncomfortable about. It's also not a book for people who can't handle nuance about things that should not be nuanced.
This is not a book for people who can't handle criticism of the Catholic church. The main female protagonist of this book has sex with a great many people during the course of the book, both male and female, including an underage boy, although she didn't know he was underage at the time-but she also didn't ask-and I am so not okay with anything about that scene and it makes me feel sick just thinking about it and the main male protagonist is married (although he and his wife are separated, and his wife had an affair with another man). I am recommending this book, but I should be very, very clear and let you all know that if you read this, expect pain. There's no way to talk about this without including spoilers, so I'm going to spoiler tag liberally. If I were grading this book based on how comfortable it made me feel, it would probably be right around zero stars. There is so much in this book that just blows past my comfort zones. This is not a traditional romance, and most people would probably say that this is not a romance at all. I just want to make things clear right off the bat.
