From Bodice Ripper to Erotic Journey
July 1st, 2007 by Adele Dubois
Alone…and helpless. What could be worse? That is the question posed in this fun, humorous look at women’s romance novels from You Tube’s Ronin Romance Classics.
Heroines have come a long way since the early days of Historical Romance, with more control over their destinies and sex lives than ever before. Today’s romance novel has evolved from bodice ripper to erotic journey, with the woman’s pleasure and point of view the focus of the modern storyline.
The heroine in the following video bravely depicts these modern sentiments. She wants romance, adventure, lust, intrigue, lust, danger, and…lust — on her own terms. We Authors of Erotic Romance strive to fulfill those wishes for all of our feisty heroines!
Enjoy!
That is so funny, and so very true. We’ve come a long way since the early bodice-rippers.
Love it!

I saw this somewhere else, and couldn’t watch it because hubby was watching TV, and then forgot all about it. I am so glad you posted it. “Alone, helpless, alone, helpless” LOL
Some people that know me, and know how much an opinionated, independent, women’s libber I am are always amazed when they find out I write romance. Until they realize my heroines are as “helpless” as this woman
btw, did anyone else recognize the voice?
I didn’t recognize the voice, but it sounded perfect for the role. Anyone else know who the actress is?
Glad those who commented (and even those who didn’t) enjoyed this video. I think it’s a hoot. Romance novels can be fun, too!
Tell us what YOU think. Leave a comment!
