The point is these were Bodice Rippers back in the 70s-80s and these scenes were very common. Whitney My Love is a bodice ripper. Judith McNaught is one awesome writer. To throw the baby out with the bath water is ridiculous is my opinion. I'd just avoid books with those scenes if they are a trigger for you. There is no need to boycott an author because of one book that was written decades ago. It was expected to write such a scene in those days as force seduction scenes were hot sellers but we've changed and grown from it. You'll miss out on some of the best romance authors in history if you punish them for their past mistakes.

I don't mind some bodice rippers but I haven't read one in a while.
Thanks for giving me the heads up on that book. Sounds like it might not be my cup of tea. Kleypas is very hit or miss for me. Like I said, I've enjoyed most of the Wallflowers but I hated Dreaming of You.
