Spoiler Alert!
Altogether I thought this book was interesting for a paperback romance, but I have to say I was deeply disturbed by the whole collar thing. To me rape is bad enough, but not only was the poor man being raped, he was brainwashed into apparently enjoying what would normally repulse him. I went into this book expecting a light romance with a little bit of a quirk, instead I came away with the nauseating image of the main male lead being repeatedly tortured and assaulted, though the author thankfully had the good sense to just hint at what happened to the man instead of giving all the gory details, well I guess that's better than how it usually plays out in these style of novels with the women being repeatedly raped since as we all know it's not nearly as traumatic for a man to be raped as it is for a woman....hopefully you realized I was being sarcastic. : /
