Oh I expect an all out assault on my sensibilities.
.
I read some crazy ones way back. There seemed to be lots of Harem stories too.
Heck even my beloved "Angelique" series is not for the faint of heart. More harem in that one too among lots of other stuff.
I read that when I was 11-13 or so. Those were written in the 60's though. Also not really romance.
I have to be in the mood for them. I am a big mood reader. Sometimes I just feel like reading something that I want to simultaneously throw against the wall and clutch to my chest.
Plus I am such a huge fan of historical romance that I want to read at least many of the older greats. As long as I know what I am getting into I am good.
Storm Fire is another one I want to get my hands on. The used prices are outrageous on that one and I want an ebook anyway. I don't know if I'l ever get one. And again, I might have read that one before in the past, who knows. Things are blurry back there.
Would have had to be in german translation though since obviously that is what I could only read at the time. So if it wasn't translated, I haven't read it yet.
