mark monday (majestic-plural) | 8 comments This isn't what you are asking for, but if you are unable to find e-copies for out of print books, here's a site that lists where physical copies can be bought online, and also lists prices:

Meredith (meredithgoodreads) | 105 comments Archive.org/Open Library is worth checking for out of print bodice rippers. They have a few Nadine Crenshaw books: https://archive.org/search.php?query=...

It's free, you just need an email to make an account, and is available globally. The downside is that they recently changed their policy to where you can only check out books for 1 hour at a time (it used to be two weeks), but you are able to recheck it back out again. It does have many out of print books, so it's better than nothing.

Scribd.com has both Teresa Denys books, someone uploaded them. You have to have an acount with Scribd, but you can sign up for the 2 week free trial and then cancel after you've downloaded her books. Scribd will occassionally have a bodice ripper, it's worth checking.

I miss the two week time period so so much!! The good thing is that when you recheck it back out, it *usually* takes you back to the same page you were at. Before it wasn't doing that for me, and I'd have to scroll all the way back down to my spot. It's inconvenient, but yeah, better than nothing for books you can't find anywhere else.

JennyG | 174 comments There is a two week loan for some books. I've just borrowed Dark Peril by Christine Feehan for two weeks. But for an unknown reason they wouldn't let me borrow Dark Predator (only 1 hour loan).

Edited to add: Now it says that Dark Predator has been checked out. I guess I'll try to borrow it again later.

Meredith (meredithgoodreads) | 105 comments It's because they have more than one copy of Dark Peril, and they only have one copy of Dark Predator.

Here's a link to their new loan policy: https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/art...

So, 2 week borrow period is only when they have more than one book in stock. I haven't come across any bodice rippers where they have more than 1 in stock, which will allow the 2 weeks.

Currently Archive.org is being sued for copyright infringement, which is why I think they added this policy, to cya. Their online borrowing system is under intense scrutiny as part of the lawsuit. I'm crossing my fingers it all works out for them.
