We now have modern woman in a historical setting because most readers prefer it that way and that is what now sells.

Interesting.

Yeah, me too, I learned something new. Thanks, Blossom!
I've always thought bodice ripper is a type of cover that shows a man and a woman in a suggestive pose with little clothing.
