I've read and enjoyed Unclaimed, but I didn't find it really difficult or challenging. A book with a sex worker heroine that I found really grueling and painful, but well worth reading: A Gentleman Undone by Cecelia Grant.

I was more meaning that there's often a lot of discourse about virgin heroes- a lot of readers don't like that archetype, and Mark is The Virgin, and combining that with a sex worker heroine, which is also often a fraught archetype in discourse, is a tough sell to many! I didn't find it difficult or challenging either once I was actually reading, but before actually starting it, I'll admit I was hesitant!

Killing it with the memes again! And The Kiss Quotient is one of my all-time faves. I'd add A Merry Little Meet Cute to this list. Progressive with plus-size rep and oh-so-spicy!
