Caution: Wet Paint
Free from amazon. Can you deduct stars for "your kink is not my kink"? Points on for actual interesting interpersonal conflict and a character of color; points off for dodgy exoticism, broad-brushing all of the women in a fictional Middle Eastern country, and not doing enough with the interpersonal conflict. Twangs just the right strings for the longing/pining/separated!by!cruel!fate plot bits, but the weird race stuff left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
