I feel like a lot of people get turned off from these books by the expectation that there's going to be a lot of explicit non-con smut. Which makes sense when you have a master/slave enemies to lovers romance. I would say that the non-con is more present as an undercurrent/vibe through the series (obviously, because sex slaves) rather than hit-you-in-the-face individual non-con smut scenes (I can only remember one scene that could be read as played for smut non-con).

Master/slave enemies to lovers is a big no for me....unless done just right. I don't even care if there's smut or not, it's the set up of a non-con relationship turning into love that squicks me. But I see these talked about a lot so it's got me curious enough to give it a try.

DA Yeah, in the main relationship it goes in a very different way than the tropes might lead you to expect and it wasn't squicky for me. That said, there are other EXTREMELY squicky relationships, including abusive ones and abusive underage ones, throughout. And one of the main characters (the one who is enslaved) has opinions on slavery done right that are squicky in themselves.

Different DA

You just got me to go "ah. This ... sounds relevant to my interests." Whereas, the book just sounded like it was teasing a premise that it was too cowardly to actually pursue.

AYRT No, the author definitely knows what they're doing with the trope! They don't back down on it, but they do take it to unexpected places.
