Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

*Whew* Nice looking list, I feel better now! :) There are probably many more so I am asking all my Kindle peeps out there to help add to this list! If you come across a good old BR for Kindle post here so the rest of us will know!!!

I think it would also be a nice idea to mention where we can find them for the kindle since I've been looking for Comanche Moon on kindle for a while and haven't been able to locate it.

Thanks!

All of these I found available from Amazon. I am not brave enough to shop for e-books from other sources even though I know sometimes it can be cheaper. Amazon just makes it so easy *click* done. LOL is the link for Comanche Moon.

Awesome thanks. I checked a few months back and couldn't find it on Amazon.

No problem. They do seem to change what is and is not available frequently. Sometimes they add stuff and sometimes stuff drops off.

Whoooohooooooo!!! The Kindle list!!!! I adore my Kindle... :))

A question about Kindle, Nook, Sony e-reader vs. Ipad. I am thinking about buying Nook (Barnes and Noble's ebook). But thinking about all the other things I could use an Ipad wondering if anyone has an Ipad, if you like? If you would change your mind et al? Thanks!

Thank you sooooo much for this list! If anyone know of any other old bodice rippers for the Kindle, I would appreciate it. Here's one that I found. Terms of Love

Here are two that i found Never Dare a Duke andSomeone to Watch Over Me as wellas Forever and Beyond

Also available for Kindle are:Savage Conquest,Defiant Ecstasy, and Brazen Ecstasy

THANK YOU all for compiling this list. I'm pretty stoked to find all of these goodBRreads for my Kindle. :)

Kindle's rock and this idea is awesome!

Old and not-so-old (circa 2000) titles added periodically.

This one is currently free on Kindle. I've a few more titles I'll post later.

My perception of bodice-ripper material exceeds the definition itself. I won't list any books that don't consist of bodice-rippery; whether it's rape, forced-seduction, abduction and enslavement. Moments of sheer WHERE IS THE HERO? type of madhouse. I have a few that do not fall under the 'bodice-ripped' category by physically overpowering the heroine, but the heroine's will is bent in some manner.

Note: If there are some on this list, which you consider NOT a bodice-ripper, please let me know..as I've delved some others shelves to organize this list, along with mine own. Some were also tacked onto the "greatest bodice rippers" lists here, and were highly rated/recommended. I took the time to venture through Amazon.com's Kindle store(since the list gave me no such indication as to its availability on Kindle), to ensure that there was indeed a copy of such. Again, these products can be purchased on Amazon.com!

I also alter this list DAILY, check back for additional Kindle bodice-rippers!

Granted some of these are barely 10-12 years old, but there are more every day it seems.

Miriam Minger, while not a bodice ripper writer, wrote historicals from the late 1980's into the mid 1990's & has released most of her backlist e-book fomrat, at least on Kindle, (I have a couple).

The only one of her's I've read was a medieval , which wasn't bad, but no uber-alpha/ bodice ripper epic.

Here are her e-books releases:

I know Shirl Henke has released a few of her backlist on kindle e-format as well, but again, she's not much of a bodice ripper writer.

I think the book I'm currently reading qualifies as one: bodices get ripped, lots of epic elements: priests-behaving-badly, jealous other-women, quasi-adultery, evil monarchs, forced seduction, cat fights, medieval torture...too bad it's not on e-book format yet:



***EDIT*** nope, I'm wrong, apparently it is on e-book format and so is it's sequel!

Paradise & More Shirl Henke

Return to Paradise Shirl Henke

Jennifer Horsman, who wrote for the Zebra in the 80's& Avon in the '90, has also had a few older writings released as e-books.

Awesome, Wendy. I had only found the Virgin Star to add, but I've noted that if an author releases some Kindle versions, most likely, the rest of their library will be as well. It's why I only listed a few of each author's books. XD

A few more to mention, and I haven't read them yet so I can't tell you if they are *true* bodice rippers or not for this group. Marsha Canham has most of her books out on e-book and she throws them up free on occasion, so worth watching the freebie sales.





Domning has other titles out on ebook as well. I think there are some title/author name switcheroos.





. This is part of a series written by Cynthia Wright and I believe all are available via e-book.





I've read this, fairly enjoyable, but also tame in the sex department.



Author Kate Silver wrote several Restoration period books back in the early 2000s including one female musketeer based trio. I've found the trilogy and two others on e-book. was a dud though.

PS, all of the books I've mentioned in this thread were obtained via freebie sales.

Misfit..I love how you show the older books with the newer ones :)I just wish I could get them *pout* But heck..most Ive got anyways in PB,and its not like I dont have anything to read now is it?

Sandi, I love those older covers. BTW, I found a good link to Cynthia Wright's e-books on B&N,

She's done a nice job of packaging the series up in one volume, although I'm still waiting for them to pop up free again. The cover for Silver Storm sure gets around though. I've seen those models in the same pose on several different books now.

I almost fell off my chair Kobo has her books,not in one volume but 4 of them..and not badly priced.
Im still checking out some others on the list above.

Wow, finally they have something. The one I read of OK for a brain candy day, but not great. The sex was a bit tame, but there were plenty of perky breasts and stuff.

LOL!!!

What about ebooks? I've never tried to search for any on goodreads.com -- Any suggestions?

What I would do Mermarie is check out your "friends" list's most of us have a "ebooks-to-consider" shelf or something along those names. Also when I look up a book old or new,it usually says if its advailable in ebook format.Ask Misfit she's the expert and the expert on "freebie" and good deals :D

Just spotted this old Zebra on the Kindle freebie list today.

Oh wow..thank you, Misfit. I'll hop myself over to download them now. ;D Thank you kindly! Also, I love the new Amazon.com features. O.o' Holy convenience!

Amazon is a dangerous place :p

I almost forgot to mention that there's a Connie Mason title on the freebie lists today.

I browse them manually to hunt for freebies. It's not so advanced; tell me your secrets! :O Lol

Here's my secret, I saved the historical romance bestseller list on my favorites and troll daily. You can also subscribe to a feed (go to the bottom of the page).

Oh, that's right. I'm a simpleton today; someone mentioned the subscription, and I believe it was you originally. Sorry!

I'm adding it to my blogger now. Thank you for rescuing me again, LOL.

I live to serve :)

There's another one I follow on FB that lists freebies of all kinds, not just romance, but I find it helpful as well.

Woops, I was posting about Mason's too! Amazing, I wonder if it has any sort of bodice-rippery that some of her former work has!?

Just spotted an old Kensington title from 2000 free today.

Free today.

I'll haveta use this comment to add more BRs for Kindle, the other has no character space left. (Misfit, LOL...I made a thread about that earlier! You've turned me into a predator. <3) These are confirmed bodice rippers, by one of you guys' shelf. They were released in the last week or so, but previously published some years back.

Looking at the ratings (and who reviewed it negatively), it looks like "Fulk the Reluctant" got into the crosshairs of That Other Bodice Ripper Group here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ that has group reads of romances just so they can give them 1-2 stars and snark on the genre as a whole. It maims the rating system for those books. I'm glad they think they're so clever.

Do what.. I didn't realize we had BR enemies in our midst--or that they had actually congregated. LOL

I noticed also, that Beautiful Disaster was sabotaged quite deliberately in the reviews as well. Like a campaign for anti-BD. lol The irony being is that the ratings are AMAZINGLY high, and further indicate the book's quality.

Someone most likely devised the other BR group, to rankle our nerves, because I rarely see their reviews/commentary.

I think they were formed before this one was, but our goals are quite different. LOL

Beautiful Disaster got slammed because of the author's behavior towards negative reviews. When that happens, things snowball. So the reviews end up becoming haters vs. defenders and quite a few in between who just want to read a book and (hopefully) enjoy it.

Here's a new freebie today. Originally published in '07.It's getting scary when I click on the latest freebies and don't recall that I'd already bought it :)

I came a hair of giving it five stars, to tug-of-war it over to the practical side, but I wouldn't dare without properly reading it first. LOL

I've not read Beautiful Disaster, but intend on it in the near-future. Regardless of what rank I give the book, I dare say I hope it doesn't influence the author from writing more. It's her dream/story, not mine! :D

Hah. Another old/new one free today and with three copies of Klausner's review on the Amazon page.

I spotted those two earlier and then, after 20+ 2004 reprints, I stopped browsing in the April free editions. LOL I get this adrenaline rush when I see incredibly old novels re-released. I'll have like five tabs open, "Ooo...old print too. Goodread search: Omg, it's an old bodice ripper!" LOL To even imagine bodice rippers even being published today, is near uncanny. I'd say those questionable authors are dragging their books to Kindle, 'cause it defies the Nazi publisher's screening tactics. lol

Mermarie wrote: "I spotted those two earlier and then, after 20+ 2004 reprints, I stopped browsing in the April free editions. LOL I get this adrenaline rush when I see incredibly old novels re-released. I'll have ..."

I want them all. This is also free today, although rather tame on the sex department.

I'm so sad. I have a nook and they are not free! :(

What about ebooks? PDF formats, etc.

Misfit: I added the Windswept to the Zebra book list the other day(because we're on a Zebra-to-Kindle crusade!), but hadn't realized it went free today. It's AMAZING how fast some of those go up, and you almost don't get a chance to download the same free day, before they hike up the prices out of nowhere! :O

I know for a fact I've checked that entire list 4 times today. LOL
