Listen. I love dark fantasy. I love reading bdsm and have that own dynamic in my personal life. 

This. Is. Not. That. 


SPOILER:





This reads as a g-rape fantasy. The FMC gets turned against her will and is then enslaved to be used for sex. It’s justified because of how her body reacts, responding to stimuli against her own will. 
Many of us women know that that kind of logic is applied during actual g-rape cases and I would not recommend reading if that’s something that will trigger you. The first several hundred pages are filled with non-con (and not the common bdsm CNC kind). And the end is just the FMC having Stockholm syndrome due to her not having control of her body’s reactions and just eventually accepting it.
