Don’t get too excited, authors, the title is just a tad hyperbolic. In light of the recent debate about Mills & Boons books being part of the paternalistic propaganda, Dear Author, Smart Bitches, and Teach Me Tonight have banded together to read, review, and analyze Louise Allen’s Virgin Slave, Barbarian King. Dr. Frantz, Dr. Vivano, Dr. Selinger, and Robin will be providing the educated analysis. You’ll be getting reviews from me (Jane) and Jayne (with the Y) and SB Sarah.
The book should be on shelves in grocery stores and retail big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target right now or you can buy it for $3.83 at BooksonBoard.com. If you want to join in the discussion fest that will take place at the first of the year, you can buy it now and read it over the holiday and contribute to the downfall of romancelandia in January 2008.
I love it. Must buy my copy and participate!
I have my copy and am eagerly awaiting. ;)

Must Buy Book.
I love the time period, so it’s on my TBB already. I’ll buy it over the holiday and follow along.
How fun since it so happens that I bought this during my Harlequin ebook binge last week. I’ll be ready!
lol… oh, i love it!
Well, pooh! I can’t join in the fun as BoB doesn’t have the Sony Reader format. :(
Going to get it this weekend.
Should I be ashamed that the cover and blurb actually are interesting to me, regardless? lol. I think I’ll buy it and follow along. good times.
I just got my copy from Fictionwise, so I can’t wait to contribute to the downfall of Romancelandia!
I think I’ll pass. I prefer to wash my eyeballs with clorox.
OK, nabbed my copy at Walmart. I’m ready. It’s a fantastic period in history, the setting really appeals to me.
First of the year? As it happens, I actually have this book in my TBR pile since I was intrigued by its setting while I coming across it on ebooks.com. If everyone is doing this book, I may as well crash the party. I’ll try to make it by the deadline.
Oh, Whee! Now we are looking at the end of Romance Bloglandia. :-P
In Mrs. Giggles blog-chaos drinking game, is there a suggestion for how much to chug when Mrs. G. herself jumps in?
We’d love to have you, Mrs. Giggles! Can’t wait!
Oh Boy! I have the book loaded onto my Palm, ready to read!
