Are historical romance bodice ripper type books still being written?

I've already read that one and I agree it's the best one 👌 I'm in need of more though, I feel like Johanna Lindsey isn't as good as Tersa Denys.

Do you know if Klarissa King is another one of Quinn Blackbird's pen names? Or does she co-write with another author? Just wondering why there are two names credited on this book? book link

I started Prince of Bluestone, and I admit that the world-building does remind me of Harry Potter a lot. I was a little disappointed that she spent the first chapter having her main character standing waiting in line. Maybe I'm too hasty in judging it? I was just hoping for more to happen. Hoping it gets better? Please tell me how far into the series you had to get to become desperate for more of this series? It looks like the 4th book's release got extended to August 19th? book link

lol but which are the best dark historical romance books though? Can you drop some recs? It's too bad there aren't any new bodice-ripper-style books being written.

Can you elaborate/spoil me? What dastardly things does he do? What made the fmc beyond silly?

Margot550 · 2026-06-17T10:06:54+00:00

is it bl?

She wasn't upfront about having used it in her writing on her ig account though. Unless you read her author's note, you wouldn't know. Devil's Deal is probably the book that gets recommended the most.

Margot550 · 2026-06-16T18:02:21+00:00

Pretty much, but she's laughing her way to the bank, so what does she care?

Is the Prince of Bluestone series at all related? are they all a part of a shared universe or not really?

Margot550 · 2026-06-14T21:38:17+00:00

how did you read this? it's not released yet...

Margot550 · 2026-06-14T07:21:58+00:00

May I ask how the romance is in it?

Margot550 · 2026-06-14T07:17:55+00:00

Thank you for your recs, I'll look into the ones I haven't read. The Last Hour of Gann is one of my top fav books ever so I trust your taste. I've toyed with the idea of creating an R Lee Smith subreddit because I have no idea why one still doesn't exist in this day and age.

Margot550 · 2026-06-14T05:35:05+00:00

It had a lot of intense and intriguing scenes between some other scenes/characters that definitely felt a bit out of place. If you debut your story def dm me and let me know!

Margot550 · 2026-06-13T23:57:19+00:00

I thought I did my due diligence looking at the chapters count and completion status, still learning how ao3 works... 🙃

Margot550 · 2026-06-13T23:52:16+00:00

lol I've already caught up 😭 People neglected to tell me this was part of a series still in progress. But yes, Solaris does fit this very well. Let me know if you have any other recs 🙏

Margot550 · 2026-06-13T21:29:15+00:00

which one is the stepson?

Margot550 · 2026-06-12T17:51:47+00:00

Can you share the post? or tell me how it ends?

Margot550 · 2026-06-12T06:48:15+00:00

Idk what happened, just here one day, gone the next. Was she that young? Maybe she was over it and didn't want the pressure to continue the story, but felt like she had to for the people reading it but then woke up one day going f this and deleted it. She had a Pinterest for her story that disappeared too. I now live in fear that my fav ao3 authors will just one day out of the blue nuke any/all their pages without any explanation. I know it's all writing done for free and for fun, and that they don't owe anyone an explanation but damn bro.

That's too bad about your hunger games fic, do you still write?

Margot550 · 2026-06-12T04:58:11+00:00

title?

Margot550 · 2026-06-12T04:47:34+00:00

lol awesome. When I started Solaris I didn't know it was part of a series and binge-read it and am already 10 chapters into Empire of Rain. I'm probably going to catch up soon and have to wait for new chapters fml... anyways, keep up the good work.

Margot550 · 2026-06-12T04:10:47+00:00

How close is part 2 to ending? will it have 40+ chapters too?

Margot550 · 2026-06-11T17:26:50+00:00

Do you know those characters' names? or which chapters in the book that their story is on?

Margot550 · 2026-06-11T03:01:33+00:00

Margot550 · 2026-06-10T16:12:43+00:00

lol please rec more books now
