Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

It should come as no surprise that Bradford, author of bestselling romances such as A Woman of Substance and Power of a Woman, would look to her novels for inspiration in this book of tips designed to help keep the relationship fires burning. But fantasy is what makes romance novels fun, and it's hard to believe that anyone but a tousled heroine would have time to live by some of these suggestions, like the one to "go out and warm up your spouse's car before he or she leaves for work." Bradford often seems to have more space than ideas, as many of the tips seem repetitive (e.g., she touts the importance of touch several times throughout the book). Yet there are some interesting tidbits, among them instructions on preparing an English tea and a yummy picnic for two, and unique gift ideas, like giving your partner a lovespoon, an intricately carved wooden piece that is a Welsh tradition. Although at times silly and frivolous, this book will surely appeal to Bradford's devoted fans. Photos.

This review is from: Barbara Taylor Bradford's Living Romantically Every Day (Hardcover)
This book is a beautifully illustrated and well thought out display of some wonderful romantic ideas. Who better than Barbara Taylor Bradford to share her little romantic secrets on how to add romance to your life everyday.

The photos and illustrations are really attractive and both men and women will find some great ideas here. Some of my favorites include the romantic recipes, romantic destinations and the section on great romantic couples in history.

It makes a great coffee table conversation piece!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beauty Of A Book!, November 3, 2002
This review is from: Barbara Taylor Bradford's Living Romantically Every Day (Hardcover)
As someone who has only read one of Barbara's books to date, I didn't have any particular expectations for 'Living Romantically'. But all I can say is WOW!

This is the perfect book for the holidays or a gift book for anyone about to get married. It is loaded with great advice about how couples can enhance their relationships. From the simple to the extraordinary, there are so many clever ideas here to select from (for guys and girls).

And it is so beautifully presented with great color photos and romantic scenes.

I know I'll be certain to give at least 4 of these to friends for Christmas or Valentines Day!!
