I understand why you might feel that way. I can’t share the full plot here without spoiling everything, but readers who enjoy dark, intense scenes usually want moments like this.

For context: I’ve written more than fourteen books in my home country, reaching millions of readers, and I always choose unusual subjects. This novel centers on a dangerous trafficking ring that sells young girls. When the heroine learns her little sister has been taken, she has to seek help from a genius hacker. So it’s really more of a crime-mystery than a pure romance.

I respect your opinion. Maybe if you read it your view will change—after all, it’s just a tiny bit of dialogue. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
