Come Away Grrrinning!

If you want to re-ignite romance in your relationship, this book is a great way to do it. The ideas are all there for you and you can adapt them to fit your relationship perfectly. If you're just starting out in a relationship, this could still be a great resource, but it isn't really aimed at you.

101 Nights of Grrreat Romance is an excellent book - for the right couple. It's designed for couples in a long-term relationship, who are looking for a little help boosting the romance and sex in their relationship. Each tear-out sheet contains a Seduction (complete with instructions and a list of needed materials), a Conversation Piece, a Kiss of the Week, and a Passion Coupon. The outside of each sheet is marked with "For her eyes only" or "For his eyes only" and a few symbols meant to give you some idea of what you're getting into (approximate cost, season, etc.) The author suggests each person rip out one sheet a week, for a total of two seductions each week, making the book last about a year. It seems to me that this would be overwhelming and spreading it out further would be a good idea, but I'm sure each couple can adapt it as needed.

Overall the book is a little trite in places, but the ideas are fairly solid. The ones I looked at included leaving sexy snapshots for each other, creating a scavenger hunt, turning your home into a private restaurant by hiring a caterer to bring food and getting a friend to set up and a breakfast in bed. None of them is going to win any awards, but award-winning romantic gestures tend to be highly individual, so I guess that's to be expected. If you want to be "more romantic" and don't know what that looks like or where to start (or if you're tired of coming up with your own ideas for date night) this is definitely the book for you. Some of them are a little expensive, but for a special occasion that's perfectly appropriate.

I did notice that her advice falls strongly along the lines of the traditional gender stereotypes (girls like romance, guys like sex, etc) and that may bother some people. It didn't bother me.

The Conversation Pieces are mostly selections from various books about relationships and romance. They're well-selected, but my feelings about the ones I skimmed were pretty neutral.

The Kisses of the Week are a good idea, if occasionally silly. They are essentially mini-seductions for each week, and who can't use a little more kissing? A few are kinda silly ("A Thymely Kiss" caught my eye as being pretty ridiculous) but laughing together isn't exactly a problem, so I don't mind that.

The Passion Coupons are my least favorite part. Each one is a coupon for a quickie, sometimes with some direction, and sometimes just a wild card. The ones with directions mostly struck me a silly and awkward ("initiate a quickie using a kitchen chair" - huh?) and even if it's reasonable, couldn't you just ask? Admittedly I don't really understand the appeal of romance/sex coupons in general, but these seemed unusually pointless.

Overall, the main advantage of this book is that it's there, on your bed-side table, and you have committed to use it. It serves as a reminder and a source of ideas. If you've only been with your significant other for a short time, or if you are relatively young, this book probably won't be very helpful or satisfying. For a long-term couple looking for a boost, this could be exactly what you were looking for.
