My friend, hot historical author Sabrina Darby, wrote a f**king brilliant article about bodice rippers on Romantic Inks-one of the most intelligent discussions on this topic I’ve ever read. She says “For me, the terminology really refers to any adventure so daring, so life affirming, that of course a dress at the very least must be offered up in exchange.”
If this tasty little morsel sounds intriguing, you should read the whole article. You can find it here:

I love the term ‘Bodice-Rippers’, seriously! It immediately gives an impression of hot, steamy adventures…nothing wrong with that!
