The first 20% or so read like something out of a rapist's fantasy and a woman's hellish nightmare. I was not amused or impressed and wasn't sure I could finish. There were few other questionable scenes too, but once that first big hurdle was cleared, it was pretty smooth sailing. What started so very badly ended up an endearing and entertaining story with personable characters. I'll deffo be looking for the next book in series and hoping we've dispensed with the rapey beginnings
