Moderate: Rape
It’s covered in the book but not in detail. The main character is fairly healed and it’s handled well. The author did a good job with a rough subject and the fmc is strong, and believable. It doesn’t happen in the book itself but is mentioned enough.ee1000's review against another edition

Read this book for book club. Man this threw nearly every trope at me that I hate. Check trigger warning folks.
Premise: A music student and a hockey player team up to ensure he passes a tough class and she can land a date with her crush.
Issues: Holy lack of respect Batman! Look I get the whole plot is to get these two characters together but how many times did Hannah say no to tutoring Garrett?? And how many times did he not leave her alone? YUCK. Instant ick for me. I didn’t like him from that point on. Also for saying things like “well I’m a guy” multiple times. Yuck.
The abuse on both sides for the characters was intense. There’s a lot of physical abuse described and alluded to here. Be warned.
I’ve read a lot of hockey romances recently but this one gave me the ick the most.

Finished this book in 10 hours because I couldn’t put it down. Managed to handle sensitive topics with great care and realism. Loved Elle Kennedy’s writing style!
