Talk:Queen B, Book 1/@comment-34138917-20200627133751/@comment-5023122-20200628101451

PB has a lot of power imbalance love interests, some aren't as clear-cut (Raleigh, Liam, Justin, Eiko, Parker, Naomi, Kamilah, etc) but the most obvious ones are


 * Adrian in Bloodbound (your boss).
 * Aubrey in Wishful Thinking (your manager).
 * Avery in Platinum (your mentor).
 * Edward in Distant Shores (your captain).
 * Ethan in Open Heart (your boss/superior).
 * Grayson in Hero (your boss).
 * Jen in America's Most Eligible (your producer).
 * Myles/Myra in Baby Bump (your boss).
 * Nick in Home For the Holidays (your boss).
 * Sam in The Nanny Affair (your boss).
 * All of the love interests except Sabina in A Courtesan Of Rome (two pay for your services and one is your bodyguard).
 * All of MC's love interests in Across The Void (you're their captain).
 * All the love interests except Sonia in The Heist: Monaco (you're their boss).
 * Half of Kenna's love interests in The Crown & The Flame (Dom, Raydan, and Val) because she's their queen.

Saying there's no consent is debatable. I feel differently about it in real life situations but in terms of romance novels and the like I'd consider it a morally grey area. People tend to like the boss, captains, teacher/professor, etc. love interests because it's taboo and a common fantasy that can be safely explored in fiction.

The real issue IMO comes up when "no" is being ignored. Like when Cassian and Ian/Ina tell us they can't be in a relationship with us (even though they want to) but our MC continues flirting in an attempt to wear them down. It's harassment, and you'd think Choices wouldn't want to write it that way... things like longing glances would be perfectly fine in place of "C'moooon, but what about last night? You know you want to!"
