Bodice ripping e-books on OverDrive

I don’t actually own a bodice (does control underwear count?) but if I did, I am pretty sure having it ripped from my person by the strong hands of a devilish Scottish warrior would indeed  “ignite me with longing”. People may get all snobby when it comes to reading romance, but it is still one of our most popular genres.

This has proven again to be true with our OverDrive e-book  collection. If you want to Tame a Highland Warrior or want to be An Accidental Mistress then this is the place to go!

Personally I prefer to be Ravishing in Red or Sinful in Satin as I am pretty sure you get to sit down through most of that and taming anyone sounds far too much like hard work – especially in control underwear!
