I've never seen that in a book before, and I really appreciate the reality of motherhood being included, as much as I appreciate the romance between Heather and Brandon!Īlso, were clothes really that flimsy that they could just be ripped away? I know clothing was expensive, and to have the hero ripping chemises and gowns willy-nilly seems so excessive for the time!įrankly, I was surprised at how exciting the story was, and the writing was quite visual. I have an almost 11-month old little boy, and reading about Beau and all the times Heather nurses him and cares for him was very realistic! I definitely felt like the target audience.

Something that sticks out to me that marks this book as for a female audience is the details about the baby, Beau. Surrender in moonlight by Blake, Jennifer, 1942-Publication date 1998 Publisher Unity, Me. While not without it's problems (rape, slut shaming, racism), it was a fun book to read and I definitely got caught up in the adventure and drama! It was also a slow burn, and I loved it.
I did read The Wolf and the Dove last week, which was my first taste of this subgenre, but otherwise I've never read anything quite like this (although Gone With the Wind comes close). I just finished reading The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodwiss, which according to Wikipedia is the OG bodice ripper and kicked off the historical romance novel.
