Salem Author Offers 'Romantic as Hell'

Full of relationship hits, misses and unconventional advice, “Romantic As Hell - Tales of Woe, Tips of Woo,” is a new book from award-winning humor author Rodney Lacroix.

Sub-titled “A Guide for the Romantically Challenged,” the book is full of extraordinary romance tips and tricks, and several tales of affection gone horribly, horribly wrong. “Romantic As Hell” is sure to give the audience some unique ideas and perspectives on affection and a whole lot of side-splitting laughter.

Did you know:

• Teddy bears make great kindling for breakup bonfires
• Forget idle hands, it’s Valentine’s Day gift shopping that is the real devil’s playground
• Proposing to someone by doing a magic trick is so, so stupid

Well, you will.

Because “Romantic as Hell” isn’t your momma’s romance guide.

Let’s face it. Everyone can use a little help in the dating and love departments. It just so happens that sometimes such help comes in the form of a book that has a cover showing a teddy bear riddled with arrows and the word “Hell” in the title.

Whether the situation is starting a relationship, keeping one or even just looking for new ideas, Romantic As Hell - Tales of Woe, Tips of Woo (RCG Publishing; August 2015; $11.99) by award-winning humor author Rodney Lacroix is here to save the day.

Rodney Lacroix knows two things: humor and romance. As “A Guide for the Romantically Challenged,” he puts them together in a package that is sure to give the audience some unique concepts and perspectives on affection, and a whole lot of side-splitting laughter.

Written in Rodney’s trademarked comedic style, Romantic As Hell gives some great relationship advice like:

• Why shouldn’t I give a violent, feral cat as a token of my affection?
• Why you’re not fooling anyone with that ‘free back massage any time’ coupon.
• Which “romantic getaways” should you avoid, and which one may result in having your own shoes thrown at you?
• Why doesn’t my man wear his Pinocchio thong?
• How can we keep the spark alive in a house with four children who are all screaming about more jelly on their toast and can’t replace a roll of toilet paper?

Each story is punctuated with illustrations that transform the book into a highly entertaining feast for the eyes, as well.

Everyone can laugh and learn from Rodney’s own personal experiences and advice in Romantic As Hell. Celebrities, fellow romance authors and media outlets concur that this book may set a new standard for romantic humor and self-help books, alike.
