Erotica romance characters with pained backgrounds
From this series, I encountered the "bared to you" series by Sylvia day, and the "surrender your love" series by j c reed, both amazing series about characters that came from troubled backgrounds am eventually, through the tender love and passion from their significant other, find their way into being a better person, lover, and individual.
So.. My question is what you thought about the whole "pained past" experience and reoccurring theme we are seeing in contemporary romance series!? So you think it's too much, too over rated, or perhaps not enough? I'd love to hear opinions and any recommendations for other books regarding this topic too.
Thanks!

His coworkers don't like him, so they fail to report to the head boss his best friend who was on a medical leave of absence because his wife is having a baby. When Micah's boss returns he is pissed that no one has informed him that Micah was missing.
Micah decided to end his life but theirs only three ways to kill a vampire one with a wooden stake thru the heart, two walk into the sun, three get shape shifters named Drecks who love to painfully kill vampires, Micah decides the Drecks so he decides to get the leader of the Drecks to get a bunch of his gang to kill him in a ally way.
But little did he know that Samantha a Stripper will save him from death and give him hope, as she saves his life he falls in love with her at first sight. But now can he save her from being marked for death by the Drecks because they want revenge for her interference. Read to find out
I rate this book 2 stars because I feel there was to much description of having sex which made me lose interest for awhile since it was like right after each other without the story progressing into anything for awhile.

I've never read Fifty Shades, but I've read CJ Roberts' Dark Duet series which touches on similar themes : BDSM relationship between a powerful man with a heartbreakingly tragic past and a naive young woman. DD was my foray into erotica and holy crap, I couldn't read anything "vanilla" for an entire year afterwards. The hero in DD is actually more of an anti-hero but he does redeem himself by the second book.

In the ‘After’ series by Anna Todd, Hardin Scott is a teenage boy with a lot of rage and issues. He grew up with his drunken father and poor mother. His father angered a group of men, who turned up to his childhood home whilst his dad wasn’t there. The men proceeded to sexually assault and beat his mother right in front of his eyes. This traumatic experience contributes to his strained and misunderstood character.
Similarly, Christian Grey, from the Fifty shades of Grey trilogy, also experienced a traumatic childhood. He watched his mothers pimp beat her, and the pimp even stubbed out fags on a young Christian’s chest! He was also neglected and left with his mothers dead body for days before being found. These instances made him into an emotionally unavailable man who deals with his anger and repressed emotions through being a dominant, who whips and has sex with a submissive.

Even though I would probably do the same, because I know they aren’t real and I still want to comfort them, I think is important to show that there isn’t a excuse to be an asshole.
