You could use FictionDB to pull the title and see what they categorize it as. I use that site for everything.

Just so you know you'll hardly find Bodice Rippers out there in Digital unless it's a Self published backlist. All historical romance novels are not Bodice Rippers.

Bodice Rippers were Historical Romance mostly published in the 70s and 80s. It's actually frown upon now for forced seduction in a romance book and mainstream publishers wont touch it.

If you read the description of a romance it will always have two parts. A description about heroine and then hero or vice versa.
