Time Warp
I had to read this book deal a few times to get it. Okay, if I’m being honest, I had to google the author, figure out Anastasia Day is a pseudonym for popular erotic romance author Angela Knight and that the Bodice Ripper one is an ebook re-release. Still, doesn’t the first book, as it’s described, sound like a non-fiction analysis of the “bodice ripper” genre of the past? Well, I thought so. Thanks to this, I don’t now.
Here’s the deal:
Anastasia Day’s BODICE RIPPERS, a look at those politically incorrect romances of the 1980s with a kinkier spin in three novellas, and LOVE BITES, with vampires and a little bondage, to Cindy Hwang for Berkley Heat, by Roberta Brown of the Brown Literary Agency (world).

You’re right. At first, it does sound like nonfiction. I enjoy reading erotica, but after reading the reviews, this sounds way over the top for me. I tried reading one Knight novella but it just didn’t feel like erotica to me.

I’m wondering why this one is going under a different name–not Angela Knight. Hmmm.

Because AK readers expect a romance. ADay (gotta love the last name though
) doesn’t have to worry about delivering romance.

Cuz that is the name it was first done under as an ebook. And it is kinky as shit so they are keeping it as that when it goes in print.
I think one new story is being written. Not sure if it is to go with the three that were ebooks and the book will be four stories. Or if she is going to replace a story on the group she just pulled this one from. One pull one from the three leave it up and add a new one. I didn’t read the messages that closely.
LOL I could have saved you some time for once I knew something. When I read it I expected it to be worse because the build up to it. That or I am just beyondkink by now
