We live in a world that relies on hierarchy, that relies on constant production, that demands winners and losers, that wants us at odds with each other. How lovely to take a break from all that to experience stories of people finding love, pleasure and equality together.

I loved this new @mayarodale post so much I paid to read the rest (worth it) and it's not only because I'm married to a history major who's super annoying to watch period pieces with! mayarodale.substack.com/p/th…
I once thought that historical accuracy in romance didn’t really matter. But it does, because many readers turn to popular historical fiction and romance to learn about their own history, which often isn't taught in schools.
