From award-winning comedian and podcast host, A Passion for Passion is the ultimate love letter to genre romance fiction.
"A predictably brilliant and joyful satirical page-turner" -- Deborah Frances-White, comedian and host of The Guilty Feminist podcast
Alice Fraser has a special place in her heart for the sweeping silliness of romance novels. The journey to reach a believable Happily Ever After can go via an unbelievable rollercoaster of intensity, through wildly entertaining twists and unlikely turns. To celebrate the unparalleled joy this genre can bring to readers and defy its oft-maligned status, Alice has created the author, D'Ancey LaGuarde, the ineffably mysterious, outrageously prolific, undisputed regent of the art of romance.
Collecting excerpts, book cover designs, character sketches and synopses of "D'Ancey's" most absurdly frivolous and outlandishly whimsical works, from A Knight of Passion to The Dragon Lord's Lady, Luring the Laird and A Cowboy Called Home, this is an exclusive glimpse into the tropes and dreams that rise like perfumed bubbles through the fecund swamp of the romantic mind, and a fulsome challenge to anyone denying the importance of joy purely for its own sake.
This book will be a constant source of solace and encouragement for romance fans worldwide, and the perfect companion to smuggle into your next ball . . .
