not surprised. I used to read a lot of bodice rippers. I understand the strange logic.:) Never seen that logic taken to that extreme though Carole McDonnell wrote: LOL!!! Hey, what can you do? Romance novels are full of women being ravished and carried off usually by some wild romantic savage. And unless the ravisher is romantic in the civilized way the writer approves, the hero (wild and romantic but civilized) has to go take her back from the evil sheik or evil prince or evil comanche that snatched her. I suspect the writer thought she went pretty far...actually create a child of the forbidden villain-victim union. But she wasn't gonna allow the half-breed child of rape to live. In the end, all that rape and child-bearing was quickly forgotten. -C --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
