While there are several undeniably racy and shocking moments that stand out, there are nuances of romance, violence, and sex flowing through the background of the story that are not always obvious at first glance.

This draws the reader in and allows them to share in Jonathan’s moment of profound revelation, feelings of betrayal, and shock.
