I've read it. And reread it. And then got the sequels and read them, too. They aren't for the faint of heart, that's for sure. And yes, they are definitely poorly written.

Are they responsible for domestic violence? I seriously doubt that. After all, the majority of people reading them are women, not men. Not to say women can't be abusers, of course, but it's not as common.

The books are about a dom (dominant) trying to have a BDSM relationship with a woman who is only somewhat submissive. BDSM play is not domestic violence as long as both parties are on board with the idea.

Gradually in the books, the heroine teaches her dom to be able to have a more normal relationship.

I'm a very picky reader and usually won't tolerate a poorly written book, but the sex scenes are on fire. Only reason I read them, to tell the truth, and I'm sure many women would agree with me.
