Book Review: Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore

Picture this: You're seen kissing a man who has quite the bad reputation in your town and now you have to marry him. This is the situation our main character, Hattie Greenfield, finds herself in. This week, we read the romance novel, Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore. Our romance expert, Sierra Marshall, joins me in a discussion about romance, stigmas, and sex. 

In this episode we cover: 

• Why romance novels have such a bad reputation
• The rise of popularity in romance novel since the pandemic
• Why being a woman in 19th England kind of sucked

Grab a drink, open the book, and press play on this romantic journey of a book review!
