Hi !
MY FRIEND IAN REVIEWS A BODICE RIPPER
My nearest and dearest know that I re-read Shanna every few years. I have since high school - there's something so nostalgic about it even though I'm not a fan of historical romance. The pirate scenes get me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
A few years back I convinced my friend Ian to read it as a dare, and the results were HILARIOUS. Ian has bravely allowed me to share his review.
Here's a snippet: First off, it’s not hard to see why books in this genre are referred to as ‘Bodice Rippers’, for indeed clothes are shed with stunning regularity. But, the bedroom scenes are pretty mild and I must say, at the heart of this book is a good old adventure yarn. In Shanna, Kathleen Woodiwiss has created an epic period piece in all its flamboyant trappings. The writing is sumptuous in the extreme, with words and sentences swirling delightfully around one’s literary sensibilities…a bit like wading through warm treacle…naked (or so I’m told).
Read the full review if you feel like a chuckle this glorious Friday :)

"I absolutely love everything about this series. An eye-popping cover, on the qui vive from chapter one, campy inner voice, cool ambience, sweet-natured characters, and entertaining narrative." ~ Amazon Customer Sophie Koufes ★★★★★
