I expected more from this. I heard it described as dark and kinky and all I can say is... eh. It starts off in one direction (ex: degradation/praise kink) and then becomes more of a straightforward vanilla romance over time, which is the opposite of what I expected. I also struggled with the male perspective, which is off-putting and makes the degradation side sound more like your average misogyny. But by the end of the book, it didn't bother me as much.
