It is definitely NOT rape, but has all the possessive, unbridled elements of a ravishment. The heroine is "taken", but not against her will. And the hero doesn't do it in anger or as a punishment - sex should never be used as a weapon. He does it because he's overcome by his animal nature and his lust for her. They both are willing participants, no drugs/alcohol involved. It is very well done. Yes, but that’s why I liked this book and the scene so much.
