Bodice Ripper Readers Anonymous discussion

A quick question here - I'll be going to a used book store tomorrow that will probably have some older romances there. I won't have alot of time to browse, but was wondering which author to look out for? I mean, who do you think I should definitely read if I can find?

Much thanks in advance!

Jennifer Blake, Valerie Sherwood, Rebecca Brandewyne, Day Taylor, Jocelyn Carew, Shirlee Busbee, Gimone Hall, Aleen Malcolm.

Some of my faves.

Cool, thanks! Made a note of the names.

I agree with Karla Susan..all good choices.

Rebecca Brandewyne is a hard wench to find ebooks for. >:O lol I'm on the scent, though!

Since she doesn't write anymore (IIRC), reissuing them as ebooks would be a good move. Nice royalties and such. *hint hint, Ms. B* :P

She's one of the more rare for ebooks, isn't she? I have to get unbanned (Don't ask, lol) from a forum I was on, to check more thoroughly.

I have to get unbanned (Don't ask, lol)

But now I must - what did you do??

The forum is super Nazi-ish.... all we were talking about was "Music" in the chit-chat section, and I got banned for 'not reading the reply button rules'. Seriously.... they're just overly sensitive. I was very nice and engaging, didn't think to read reply rules. ..when we were merely chatting.

The ban is up in the morning. Lol

OMG, they banned you for using/not using the reply button?

Bad, bad Mermarie. ;)

Lol, no I did use the reply button. I 'quoted' someone, which was about a music band, and we were jus' discussing music. Asking each person what they liked, if they'd heard of a band..etc. They banned me for replying/quoting. Someone else had before me too, so I didn't think it was necessary to memorize every little detail of their reply board. I assumed, people were talkative and friendly. I suppose I was wrong. LOL

So they don't like people to quote stuff and clutter up the forum threads? Sounds like it. Anyway, some mods are Type A housecleaners.

It's like being grounded Mermarie? LOL! Talk about "picky"geezz :/

Yeah, I felt like Braveheart there...freeedddom. Not accustomed to my quirkiness being on lockdown. ;[

Leave it to me, to break about their only strict rule...but since then, things have gone smooth. They don't permit but one reply a day. I have their forum open as much as this one, tabbing inbetween for authors/books they may have ebook copies of.

ONE REPLY A DAY?????

Good God, I wouldn't make it on there. How do you decide who to reply to? What it you reply too soon and waste it? What if you don't reply and nothing else hits the thread that you want to reply to? Have you wasted your one a day?

That must be a big group.

Yeah, hitting reply, which brings up the block quote of the person, I guess it's too much space eating. :O

Thank goodness I've stayed clear of anything tempting, and been lingering around the cartoon section. Lol

I think sharetermpapers.com is also similarly restrictive, though maybe not as much. I don't post there, just browse.
