18 & Over Book Blogger Follow #3
18 and Over Blogger Follow Hop is hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines.This hop runs through the weekend. Have a blog that reviews and features mainly 18+ books and want to join? Head over to Reading Between the Wines.
I would ask Johanna Lindsey how she can
write amazing characters with such passion over and over again without
fail? She is one of the very few authors that can make me cry. I would love to be able to write like her.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I understand Fabio making you laugh. I was about 13 when I started reading romance novels and they belonged to my mom and my grandmother - almost all had Fabio on the cover lol Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely weekend.
DeleteI have these on my TBR. Have not read her yet, but the synopsis is always riveting.

DeleteAnother amazing historical romance author is Kathleen Woodiwiss. Her book, Flame and the Flower, sold me on historical romance. Also, Wolf and the Dove is a wonderful, heart wrenching read.
DeleteBoth of theses women began writing in the 70's and their work was...very interesting for the times. Though now, we would not raise our browse at the "love scenes".
Side note:
"Kathleen Woodiwiss was a young wife and mother when she began writing romantic fiction as a response to her dissatisfaction with the existing "women's fiction" of the time. In 1972, she published her first novel, The Flame and the Flower, set on a Southern plantation in the late 18th century. Its historical setting and theme, florid prose style and steamy sex scenes inspired a legion of imitators, and its smashing commercial success sparked a new boom in romance fiction. Woodiwiss was given credit for inventing the modern romance novel in its current form: thick period melodramas packed with an array of dashing and dangerous men and bosomy women in low-cut dresses."

I just recently read my first novel by her, Prisoner of My Desire. :)

She was one of my first romance reads so I adore her, what a great question!
ReplyDeleteAnd even though today's romance covers sizzle I still love these old ones.
