334 - Bodice Rippers

In Episode 34, Season 3 of Ravage Love we get into the roots of modern romance novels and bring you some history on the genre, the term, the covers, and how far we have come. 

Julie revisits a feminist AF author and Renée shares her research and the synopsis to a true-to-form, and deeply problematic, Bodice Ripper. 

We read:

The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan 

Prisoner of My Desire by Johanna Lindsey
