Oooh! A "Harlequin Historical"!  :laugh:

In my neighborhood pharmacy, the rack of cheesey paperback romance novels (bodice-rippers all) is near the prescription counter. Sometimes while I'm waiting for a prescription to be filled, I'll take a look at the book covers. I get the biggest (silent) laugh from the covers of books where the hero is supposed to be a Native American, yet clearly the model is of European ancestry.

You'd think they could at least find a hunky Native American somewhere who would pose with his shirt off for a few bucks.  ::)

If these are Bodice Rippers, how come it's the guy's clothes that are always in tatters?  (Not that I mind, you understand!  ;D)

OMG, I'm just picturing all my in-laws reading such cheesy bodice rippers :laugh:.
