Yeah. I mean, a book I read this weekend was very "your kink is not mine" when it came to sex, but it was eventually made clear that both characters did enjoy it, so I was ok with it in the context. (Well, not how it started, but later...) But this is "Rape is hot! Rape tames! Rape is good!kinky! Rape is love!"
I mean, "heroine is in harem and has kinky sex with sultan/vizier/prince/whatever and maybe a couple concubines"? That's "your kink is not mine." However, "heroine is sold to sultan and has to be tied down and people spread her legs while she screams bloody murder and then he's so good at it that she has multiple orgasms"? (Yes, Small has done multiple variations of this.) A whole other territory.
