Well - just read a chapter about beating people - men beating women, women beating men, and watching the main female character going from being defiant about being beat to accepting of it . . . kinda twisted!

LOL

It's twisted but at the same time. Women and children were viewed as property of men. Also, in this book their is never any talk about the 'family bed' and that any visitor passing along will be welcome in your home. Good thing she has some boundaries in writing.
I'm thinking perhaps our headstrong female now being tamed by the redheaded Scot, Jamie, has to cool her jets or she's be burned as a witch.
I am not too wise in the ways of romance novels. But, I do know there is a big S&M following (50 shades and all that). Perhaps this appeals to that . . . however, I have no point of reference to know if it compares.

You just had to do there. :/
I remember when we read The Story O for Vaginal Fantasy and there was a huge debated about Outlander and The Story of O. That was interesting.
