Summary: Great for the traveller and armchair traveller alike!
Review: Don't be put off by the title "Love & Romance-true stories of passion on the road", this is a book that will appeal to those who love to travel, those who love to read about travel and just plain lovers! From the moment I opened the book until I was bleary eyed and put it down, I was intrigued, entertained, and moved by these wonderful gems. Each chapter takes you on a short trip to exotic places with someone you love-whether it is a lover, a parent or a good friend. What makes each story/essay even more meaningful are the short notes written or selected by the editor at the end of each article. The book is just like one the editor wrote:"Travel can be a series of small epiphanies." Each time you open this book to read, you will feel you are discovering something wonderful.

Summary: Lonely Planet's version better
Review: I read this collection as well as 'Brief Encounters' (Lonely Planet Series)- the later was by far a better read; more honest, raw, and real experiences by a better collection of authors recounting their many indescretions with the restless natives found abroad.

Summary: Love to travel? Hoping for romance? READ THIS BOOK!
Review: Some of these stories of true love and passion found while traveling are so touching they will make you cry, such as "Remember Africa?" and others are so seductive you'll get caught up in the passion, as in "The Feast of Fatima." In between you will laugh with a couple who stumbles into a Japanese Love Hotel, feel a delicious shiver as you share an intense young traveler's desire for a beautiful Malaysian woman with hair smelling of coconut, picture in your mind the Fiji tribesman who is the perfect warm, dark presence in the night the writer has always longed for, learn about character from a dolphin researcher on board a free-love vessel, and sigh along with a blonde traveler who is approached by four courtly French gentlemen with a bouquet of roses. Can travel lead to magic and romance? Read this collection of true stories and you'll have no doubt! A great gift for anyone who loves to travel.

Summary: This year's best Valentine's Day Gift!!
Review: This group of exotic and touching stories is highly readable -- and is an excellent choice for the "pick up and put down" reader -- male or female. The collection leads us through a remarkable group of relationships set in even more remarkable venues -- the Saharan desert, Nepal, India and a "by the hour" love hotel in Japan -- readers can't help but find some part of their own romantic selves in each tale. Each story is (meaningfully) illuminated by ancillary material from the editor -- a travel writer who obviously understands both close relationships and travel. If you love someone who reads or travels -- buy them this book -- and tuck it in their suitcase as a surprise!
