Why?
What was the author thinking? You can justify theft. You can justify murder. You can probably tolerate the hero being an a-hole. But you can never justify rape. Even when circumstances presented itself, the author could’ve just made it consensual. Or maybe the hero was compelled beyond his control to commit such act. But to willingly and consciously force himself unto another woman no matter how bitchy her attitude would be, that’s disgusting. I agree with the other reviewers, it felt somehow this book lost its way.
