EXCERPT | I should know about love stories since, as an editor at Harlequin, I<br />
edit these <strong>books</strong> every single day. The mechanics of love are familiar to me.<br />
It’s a tough job (not really), but I do it with pleasure.<br />
I get to deal with writers who love writing about love. They send me<br />
chocolate on Valentine’s Day, always ask about my personal life, supply me<br />
with manuscripts to feed my book-reading obsession, and they are interesting<br />
people. It’s sick that I get paid to do this.<br />
You’d think I’d have this whole love thing sewn up for real. Not even close. I<br />
do everything I’m supposed to do. I am ready for any opportunity. But then<br />
years, decades go by and here I am. In the <strong>books</strong>, romance happens when you<br />
least expect it, so I try not to expect it. But the more romances I edit, the more<br />
I see my life is nothing like these <strong>books</strong>.<br />
PATIENCE BLOOM has been a romance<br />
editor at Harlequin for sixteen years. After<br />
living in Connecticut, New Mexico, and<br />
Paris, she now lives with her husband,<br />
Sam, in New York City.<br />
