1.5
This is a constant issue the author has along the series, giving their female lead to much of a dark background, which makes the book seem superficial about the issues they portray. I don't think what the author wrote was disrespectful, but a romance novel isn't the place to develop a plot about taking a sexual abuser down. It may seem out-of-touch and very awkward to read.
Moderate: Sexual violence and Sexual harassment
Minor: Death, Domestic abuse, Toxic relationship, Violence, and Stalking
The female lead has a character arc dealing with her victim blaming tendencies, beware.
