Description: We've all wished romance could be more like fiction. Patience Bloom certainly did. As a teen she fell in love with Harlequin novels and imagined her life turning out just like the heroines' on the pages. Years later she moved to New York and found her dream job editing Harlequin romances. Bloom became an expert at fictional love stories, but her dating life was uninspired. She'd nearly given up on love when a Facebook message from a high-school friend thousands of miles away sparked a promising relationship. Was it worth the risk?
