A love letter to romance... I haven't finished this, partly as I have a copy on the way, mainly as I think this is something best taken slowly. As with poetry and short stories, if I read too much of the short segments in this book there is a risk of them blurring a little and taking away from the enjoyment.

The book is in celebration of D'Ancey, the author created by Alice for The Last Post and other podcasts, and a celebration of romantic fiction. It alternates between the plot overviews of D'Ancey books and sections from Alice on the different sub-genre of romantic writing. An affectionate and humorous look at this area of fiction, one (as with many genre) constantly overlooked by more 'serious' reviewers. A funny and fun celebration of D'Ancey and romance.

I look forward to my finished copy, and to having it in store.

It was okay. The intro read very silly and a little dismissive of the genre despite it being in theory a love letter to the genre

A super fun, and very unique, comedy non-fiction book, A Passion for Passion mixes passages of biting yet informative romance novel appreciation with parody romance novel blurbs.

Based on Fraser's comedy podcast bit D'ancey LaGuarde, a romance novelist from another dimension whose blurbs Fraser shares with her captivated audience, A Passion for Passion at once makes fun of, and truly appreciates the erotic romance genre. A short, fun, occasionally laugh-out-loud read, this is a brilliant gift-book for the romance readers amongst us.

This loses 1 star, just because it is so repetitive. That is definitely the nature of a book like this, but it did make sitting to read it in the traditional sense, by which I mean reading the thing page after page as you would any other book, a little bit of a chore! 4 stars.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a beautiful love-letter to romance fiction and really enjoyed getting to read this. It was strongly written and enjoyed the overall feel in this type of book. I was invested in what was presented from Alice Fraser’s writing style and glad I read this.

I absolutely enjoyed this book! I love all things romance and romance novels and so felt this was a great book celebrating all of that the genre has to offer!
