There are instances of sex with dubious consent or lack of consent, specifically sex while one partner is asleep or not fully conscious. The sex is pleasurable to both parties, so it seems to be very carefully skirting rape, but this could be very triggering so sexual assault and rape survivors.amachattie's review

Definitely my least favourite Sherry Thomas so far. The historical setting is somewhat interesting, but the "excusing sexual assault as historically accurate" trope in historical romance has never convinced me.
