Revving Things up Romantically



…In the Kitchen or at the Table


· The Seduction Cookbook: Culinary Creations For Lovers By Diane Brown

Intimate Catering proprietor Diane Brown of L.A. brings us this work of culinary seduction. Everything from late night seduction snacks to a morning after breakfast, this playful cookbook is sure to get you in the mood even as you read it.


· A Taste for Love: A Romantic Cookbook for Two by Elizabeth M. Harbison and Mary McGowan

Everything you need for food seduction, with luscious recipes, scraps of love poetry, decorating advice and music suggestions. Each section from “Breakfast in Bed” to “Light Love” (for the calorie counting lovers) covers just about every type of romantic cuisine.



…In the Bedroom


· 101 Nights of Grrreat Sex: Secret Sealed Seductions for Fun-Loving Couples by Laura Corn

The gimmick for this book is the sealed pages. Each pair of removable sealed pages contains an idea to spice things up in the bedroom. You choose pages based on the icons on the outside of the page (which indicate if the idea involves cost, a road trip or would be better planned in the summer). You don’t let your lover know what you’re planning until you spring it on them.



…On the Desktop


· How to Write Love Letters by Michelle Lovric

Several versions of this book have been published, but all of them are worth a read for anyone who wants to write a romantic letter, e-mail or even fax.



…On Vacation


· 100 Best Romantic Resorts of the World by Katharine D. Dyson

This detailed guide gives you the lowdown on some of the most romantic spots in the world, each with their own color and flavor. Even if you use this book to dream rather than plan, it’s a great find.



...At a Party


· Would You Rather…? Love and Sex by Justin Heimberg, David Gomberg

This book is sure to be a party pleaser, with such dilemmas as: “Would you rather have sex with Skelator or Gargamel…Mr. Belvedere or Matlock…the Tin Man or Scarecrow?” and “Would you rather have breast implants made out of play-doh or nerf balls?”



…For Idiots

It seems like there’s a Complete Idiot’s Guide to nearly everything, including romance. Sex on the Net, Tantric Sex, Sex, Amazing Sex, Sensual Massage, Dating, Romance, Being Sexy and Being a Sex Goddess are just a few of the sex and romance titles available under the umbrella of the Complete Idiot’s Guide series.



…All the Time


· 1001 Ways to be Romantic by Gregory J.P. Godek

If you owned this book, you would officially have no excuse to not be romantic. It’s a national bestseller (it has Oprah’s endorsement). Godek, who wrote the book, is considered to be one of the foremost authorities on love and romance in the U.S., even spawning a parody book.
