Nothing wrong with scenes, I just wasn't in the mood. But I happened to put down this one and pick it up accidentally in a sex scene and it makes me wonder if I maybe shouldn't have been skipping those (in a bad way). spoilerI don't know, maybe I'm just prudish/out of the loop? I legit don't know. But the guy in this is a police officer, and they at one point start having role-play sex (which is never discussed or boundaries set, it just starts to happen) where he's playing at being disapproving and arresting her and then having sex with the person they're playing is a prisoner. Which, given they didn't talk it out beforehand, just slides WAY too close to the edge of actual abuses of power for my tastes. Anyways. It kinda ruined my read of this, cause that just doesn't seem fun to me, and *long sigh*. Anyways this is why I've been putting off reviewing this book. The sex scenes I usually skip crossed a line for me and then it wasn't fun any more. YMMV, of course. ...more
