I came up with bodice rippers. A few years ago I went through my library and removed the rapey-er books in my collection. They did have the drama levels I enjoy, but at the end of the day I don't like authors using SA as a way to create and boost that drama. I'm sure I still have a few that are iffy, but the most glaring examples are gone.

I also feel like we've reached a point where SA shouldn't be used as a tool for that anymore. This isn't the repressive times of the past, where novel heroines were expected to be pure and sexual contact was forced to maintain that sense of purity.
