I applaud erotic and all authors that are steering clear of this blurring line. There are many authors out there that are showing BDSM relationships in an authentic way. But like all things you have to wade through the others to get to them.

There are people claiming to be writing BDSM, but it reads as a very disturbing and abusive relationship (50 Shades of Gray). Also, books like Beautiful Disaster, where the guy fits the classic profile of an abuser, are portrayed as romance and it causes a lot of confusion.<br /><br />There are definitely triggers in some of these books for people who have been abused. The blurring is disturbing.<br /><br />That is why I think reviews are so important. It allows people to educate themselves about a book before picking it up and possibly having a bad anxiety attack due to triggers. Just reading about the two books mentioned above in GLOWING reviews alerted me to the fact that I wouldn't be able to read them without an adverse reaction.<br /><br />My two cents...
