pick1984. Classic #bodiceripper 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 Sean has Catherine kidnapped & brought to 🇮🇪 for revenge on her father. It‘s brutal & full of rape, violence, political intrigue, questions about parental identity. It‘s more #epicsaga than #romantsy. For all his horrible behavior, Sean suffers much in the 2nd half of the book. It was crazy but I loved it.
CoverToCoverGirl I read this many years ago and still remember it because of all graphic harrowing/awful things that the heroine suffered through... maybe the beginnings of what we now class as #DarkRomance 7y
Christy2318 @CoverToCoverGirl The heroine definitely suffered through a lot of horrible things & there was the whole she has to be raped & forced to enjoy sex that was prevalent in romance of that era. I think it‘s fair to say you can connect the lines between the bodice rippers & the current dark romances. 7y
CoverToCoverGirl I‘ll have to find a copy and give it re-read just to refresh and see how it really compares to recent dark romances I‘ve read. 😎 7y

Christy2318 @CoverToCoverGirl It is really hard to find. Crazy expensive on Amazon. I waited 6 months to get it on Open Library. I think there are lot of comparisons between it and Skye O‘Malley... 7y
CoverToCoverGirl Ohhh.. to bad I didn‘t keep my copy and who knew it would turn out to be so pricey... also what is this Open Library thing?.. I read the whole Skye O‘Malley series and really enjoyed it. 7y
Christy2318 @CoverToCoverGirl openlibrary.org You can check out books that are scans of out of print books. Since it‘s scanned pages, the reading experience isn‘t as great as other e-book platforms but I‘ve found it to be a decent source for old out of print things that I can‘t obtain readily otherwise. I‘ve Skye O‘Malley but need to continue with rest of series. 7y
