"Dashing doctors, naughty nurses, and sexy stewardesses ... caught in webs of love, passion, betrayal, and intrigue: these are the raw materials of the romance novel - and the lusty covers that advertise them. The Look of Love presents the captivating art and stories of this ever-popular genre, from the sugary tales of the 1940s to the bodice-rippers of the 1980s. This delightful compendium of popular illustration and purple prose is aimed at the hearts of romance lovers everywhere."--Jacket.
