The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham
5.0
I read a book! At something approaching my pre-lockdown pace! If that was the only thing in this books favour I would rate it highly, but wait! There's more! *takes a deep breath* Heroine loosely inspired by Mary Wollstonecraft, hero in the Jamie Fraser mould*, asylum breakout, feminism, non-cringey sex (on the whole, I think?) and some genuinely romantic passages!
*I know that other Scots are available but come on, if Sam Heughan is appropriate why wouldn't you make that your head canon!? Plus something about their early encounters reminded of Jamie and Claire's wedding night!
