Neo-Bodice Rippers

Historical Romance Review: Claiming the Courtesan by Anna Campbell

Posted on May 6, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

I’m not a fan of the execution of Claiming the Courtesan. However, I thought it was refreshing what Anna Campbell tried to accomplish in her first book. I categorize this style of romance as a neo-bodice ripper, in that it attempts to capture the sexual power struggles contained in those older books, but it’s very modern in its presentation. 2 stars
