This week, Jane and Sarah discuss a letter from a reader named Sage, who is looking for resources to help her identify and avoid books that may contain scenes of rape or assault. We discuss rape in the genre, triggers, and practical ways to identify books that may feature scenes that affect readers negatively. Please note: we don't read aloud any violent scenes or anything like that, but we do discuss rape and forced seduction in the genre, character backstory, and the ways in which sexual violence is depicted in romance past and present. Then we talk about what we're reading, and we discuss a book that we very very nearly agree on. Get bonus content on Patreon
