Really should be labeled as a thesaurus
March 16, 2026
If I buy a book that calls itself a "guide to writing romance and sex scenes" I am expecting two things:
1. The book contains guiding advice
and
2. The author is better at writing than I am
This book managed to fulfill neither criteria.
Instead what this book is, is a collection of lists made primarily of extremely poorly written, cringe inducing sentence fragments. A few of which were so bad I physically recoiled upon reading them.
Absolutely not worth the money.

Definitely a thesaurus, and worth its weight in gold for a romance writer. Offers great opportunities to demonstrate show as opposed to tell and bring stories to life. A must have for romance writers desks!
