She’d like to be seen with a tall, strong, self-proclaimed asshole, out at a bar. She tries to pick him up and he shoots her down but she persists and finally he gives her an address and a time and says that if, after going to this place, she still wants to date him, she should ask again.Ĭaffeine prickled in Laurel’s blood and she decided she liked him, officially. Laurel thrilled a bit inside at this show of masculinity and she chases after him, both literally and figuratively. Laurel is about to do something when she sees a big, brawny man dressed in construction worker togs walk up to the asshole, pick him up and pin him by his neck to a wall. One day she’s sitting outside and hears a young punk hassling his girlfriend, getting physical with her. When Flynn arrives on the scene, she starts to feel alive. She has an engineering degree, but she isn’t using it because Laurel is just floundering. Laurel White is nearing thirty, living with two other girls, and waitressing in tourist trap in Quincy Market. If you freak out and go screaming about it all over town or the fucking internet, you could seriously fuck with the lives of two consenting adults. "Curious is all well and good but I don't know you. Flynn is protective and while he doesn’t mind Laurel watching because he is attracted to her as well, he doesn’t want Pam to suffer. Laurel is interested and attracted but she feels awkward about watching Pam and Flynn. It is the start of the whole issue of consent that pervades the book. In fact, Laurel’s introduction to Flynn’s sexual side is with the help and permission of Pam, this other woman. Part of me resisted this and I didn’t want to read the story because of it but when I read it, it not only made sense, but in a large part, this other woman was almost non existent in that scene so I’m glad I didn’t let my initial resistance keep me from reading the story. The other thing that the recommender told me was that the book starts off with Laurel watching the hero of the story having sex with another woman. I was told that it dealt with rape fantasies and I include this warning at the very beginning so that those readers who have triggers will know what they are getting into. I bought and read this book based on the recommendation of another author. Jane B- Reviews Cara McKenna / Rape 30 Comments SeptemREVIEW: Willing Victim by Cara McKenna
