5/12/2023 0 Comments The Notorious Rake by Mary Balogh![]() ![]() ![]() But when it comes to a heavier issue, like sexual assault, where our society has not fully progressed to the point where victims are believed, or at least given the benefit of the doubt (case in point: all the negative reactions to the people coming out about sexual assault in Hollywood), Indiscreet is both historically accurate and relevant to modern times, despite the fact that it was written twenty years ago looking at the unfairness of society two hundred years ago.īalogh conveys the narrative of the victim beautifully through Catherine, showing how her past has led her to this point, only to be put at risk of ruination and ostracism once again. With historical romance, it can often be a difficult balancing act trying to make stories feel relatable to modern readers while also not being too anachronistic. MAJOR SPOILER WARNING! PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ![]()
