There are much better bodice rippers out there....

And Demaris? I did semi flounce it.  Well, my kindle died and I think I was reading it there.  I just haven't restarted it......     

And you can never get too much Elevator Rob  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Ok, what is a bodice ripper?? I can guess... but it might not be what I'm thinking *ahahahaah...

 >:D >:D definitely never enough Elevator Rob  >:D >:D

Re: Bodice Rippers and Historical Romances

I looked this up:
Urban Dictionary: bodice ripper
An historical romance where the heroine has lots of non-consensual sex, which becomes consensual. The book needs to have a gaudy cover with a woman with an extraordinarily long neck, heaving bosoms, and flowing hair, and a brooding man.


I've only heard of the term "bodice rippers" in recent years. Never bothered looking up the meaning and just assumed, since these historical books would have these type of covers, then that's how the term was born.

I've read a lot of historical romances. Pardon my memory but the only one i can really think of that fits the bill is this and i absolutely LOVED it! 5 stars. :)

This is truly non-consensual sex in the beginning but, man, the way it was written and the situation why it happened was "acceptable" to me. Think i read this book 6 times. This was way back in HS and i would only buy books from 2nd hand bookstores after i've saved up my allowance. Only had a few books during my school years hence i tend to re-read a lot then.

Aside from Shanna, my other all time favorites are:
Read this 10 times

You will note Gentle Rogue and Fires of Winter has the requisite girl with boobs almost popping out, embraced by a ruggedly-handsome-built guy. Many books of Johanna Lindsey has the model Fabio on them. No internet then, so my fantasies were based on the cover of these historical and Mills & Boon books.  :P

You HAVE to read these 4 books!!  :)

Never mind!! Thank you ma'am!  :-*

If they are forced to marry, then had sex, is that considered a bodice ripper?  :P  You know the usual, fighting the attraction bec they are from a rival clan, etc but gave in to save the family/peace for their town bec they secretly want each other...bodice ripper? If yes, then yup, most of Lindsey's books are bodice rippers  ;D :D

I hoard books too.  :P  I still have all my historical books. Since money was tight, i only bought 2nd hand and only by authors i love: Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Julia Quinn, Stephanie Laurens, Johanna Lindsey, Kathleen Woodiwiss and Catherine Coulter. I still bought the paperback of these authors up to 2 yrs ago. But with me running out of places to store them, i now just get the ebook version. 80% of my M&B have been given away, only kept those i loved.  :)

*ahahaah... I am *loving* this thread :) :) :)

I'm a book hoarder too.. boxes of books in our garage. My hubby just doesn't understand, but I have a hard time letting go of my favorite stories. Lots of historical romances, and I've kept them ALL!

This is pretty easy as long as you have your libraries.  Open Calibre, click on the library books, and select Switch/Create library. Click on the little box to browse to your old library.  You want the main folder.  Then select "Use the previously existing library" and hit okay.  Do this for all your libraries.

My husband gets back from a trip tomorrow, so instead of going to bed and reading, I have to clean up the house of all the mess I have let slide while he was away. :(

Well crap. I started a post and now it's gone.

Anyway glad to hear I'm not alone with the book hoarding. My collection isn't near my grandfathers but it's still the second largest. It would probably be bigger if all the fanfics I read got published.

Now it's off to work for me. 12 hours of dealing with stupid people.
