I wanted to build my writing craft book collection and this came highly recommended. I just skimmed it a bit at first and it has tons of phrases you can use to add some tension to your story. I was reading each phrase one after another and became thoroughly entertained. Yes for me this is a 5 star read and stellar ref book for aspiring authors. Review: love this for what it is - Okay, I know that there is a lot of bad romance writing out there full of embarrassingly melodramatic descriptions and cheesy metaphors. And this book has plenty of silly phrases that I would NEVER use; but it also has a lot of wonderful, inventive phrases and a rich vocabulary. The book is an enormously helpful tool, if you give it the proper chance, and appreciate it for what it is. I don't use it to copy the phrases. I use it to spark my own imagination, to help me come up with my own phrases. So often only cliches come to mind when I try to write a sex scene, or even a passionate kiss. This phrasebook offers such a wonderful variety of descriptions for that kind of thing. It reminds me that the English language is much more interesting than my day to day vocabulary. I might use a verb from one phrase, combine it with a noun on the next page, then maybe add a cool metaphor of my own that I wouldn't have thought of if I hadn't been inspired by something from the phrase book. I highly recommend this book to writers of fiction, whatever the genre. Let it assist you, perhaps even inspire you . . . and feel free to laugh at all the silly stuff. :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,332 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Romance Fiction Writing Reference #64 in Creative Writing Composition #174 in Fiction Writing Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 326 Reviews | ## Images ![Romance Writer's Phrase Book: The Essential Source Book for Every Romantic Novelist (Perigee Book) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gCqT+HaIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this! informative and entertaining *by M***A on May 2, 2025* I am so glad i got this book.

I have the paperback and use it religiously. However, when editing my next book while on a writers retreat I didn't have the book and decided to get the digital copy instead. However, it is not a regular ebook file. Instead, it is small sideways screenshots of the book pages, but only about half a page shows in the screenshot. Adore this book, but not worth the price I paid for the hard to read ebook file. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/235154-romance-writers-phrase-book-the-essential-source-book-for-every](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/235154-romance-writers-phrase-book-the-essential-source-book-for-every) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
