Happy Thursday, everyone! And welcome to a new feature on Buried Under Romance and Love Saves the World.
What is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or an image from their past -- usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book-related Throwback Thursday.
The Historical Romance Edition:
Since Mary of Buried Under Romance and I are unapologetic lovers of historical romances, we've decided to focus on our beloved genre.
Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008.
A Pirate's Love by Johanna Lindsey, published 1978
Blurb:
A Pirate's Love
Sailing westward toward the Caribbean sun, young Bettina Verlaine obediently sets out to fulfill the promise made by her father -- but not by her heart -- a prearranged marriage destined not to be ... once the notorious Captain Tristan's pirate ship appears on the horizon.
Abducted by the bold and handsome brigand, the pale-haired beauty surrenders her innocence in the warm caress of the tropical winds -- detesting her virile captor for enslaving her ... yet loving him for the passionate spell he casts over fragile, yearning heart.
I was inspired by Mary @ Buried Under Romance's Throwback Thursday pick last week, so I decided to do a search for historical romances published during my year of birth: 1978 at FictionDB.
The results amazed me: 631 romance titles were published that year in the different sub-genres (Contemporary, Historical, etc). I was prepared to feature a Barbara Cartland book, when I clicked on the next few pages of the search results and found ... Johanna Lindsey and Linda Lael Miller. I am in awe of the enduring nature of these two authors, who continue to create such wonderful romance stories up to now.
I haven't read A Pirate's Love, but a lot of the reviews on Amazon warn about the rape that happens in the story.

Oh boy, this is a favorite, but there are many books by this author I really have enjoyed reading. You should read this sometime, its a really great romance.
ReplyDeleteI need to read Johanna Lindsey sometime...I've heard great things about her. I love the idea of picking a book published in your birth year...I may need to do that next week. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi, Renee! Hi, Jennifer! I love a lot of Lindsey's books as well. I think I'll read a sample of this book before committing to it, though --
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this one yet either. I don't really like reading books that have sexual abuse on them so I'm not sure if I'm going to read this one.
