I had to look up what bodice-buster is :laugh:.
Husband says no, not a bodice-buster.
And for all foreign speakers (or anyone who's not heard the expression):
bodice ripper
–noun Informal. a modern Gothic novel or historical romance, usually in paperback format, featuring at least one passionate love scene, characteristically one in which the heroine vainly resists submitting to the villain or hero.
Also called bodice buster.

If my memory serves, didn't Fabio become famous for being on the cover of bodice-rippers?
