Why Kathleen Woodiwiss first popular and controversial novel 'Flame and the Flower, The' is still talked about

Bodice historical romances was a sub-genre of novels which aided the sales in romance literature back in the 70's. Explicitly publishing physical passion, never before attempted and Miss Woodiwiss was the first author bold to do so. There was literally over two and one in a half million copies in print. The title of the book actually is inspired by a poem which is included in it's first pages.

Why some don't date and leave it to fate

Imagine if you will a couple is on a date. They're having a nice meal and talking about various things. It seems like a relationship is flourishing. However, there are times when it may not be. Especially when they start to get to know each other better. One of them mentions something about family member. It's nothing humorous nor disturbing. The other person makes a response that's insensitive or rude. During the meal, the other individual insist they split the bill, even though the other person is in no financial position to do so.
