This is a dark (and sad) book. And make no mistake there is no (real) happy ending.
The story is set in a world divided between freemen and slaves and the plot make use of this background in a very serious way. There is no titillating sex here, no fake "you wanted this" rape (typical of some romances). There is a real rape scene which is difficult to stomach. And it has some consequences (but not enough to be totally believable).
Ms Haimowitz knows how to write. But I'm not sure I would label this book as erotic romance.
