1: ***An informative, information packed quick read***
This book is excellent! It's a fast, interesting read, and filled with useful information.
This author writes science fiction erotic romance. It's not anything that I am interested in so I didn't relate well to the examples she gave from her previous books. I prefer classic well written romance infused with graphic sex scenes. But I found this book very informative, and think a romance writer of any genre would find this book useful.
The areas in this book I found the most useful were the sections on formatting and submitting your manuscript(spacing, text, word count, how to figure out the word count, what information needs to be on you query letter, etc.).
Which publishers she started with, information on e-books vs. print.
What romance writing groups to become a member of, how to find an agent.
Mistakes she had made along the way to becoming a popular and successful erotic romance writer.
A ton of comments and examples from her readers.
There was a great bibliography of reference books that are a must read for any aspiring author. All in all, this book is definitely worth purchasing. It makes the writing process and getting published seem attainable. I highly recommend it.

2: Well worth the price!
This is an educational and entertaining guide to writing erotic romance by one of the most successful authors in the field. In fact, it's so good that it prompted my first ever Amazon review! Here's why: There are a lot of great books out there on writing, writing romance, even writing erotic romance (Alison Kent's book, which is excellent, comes to mind.) However, for me, this book was worth the purchase price for Ms. Knight's explanation of manuscript formatting and word count alone. Extremely helpful!

3: Somewhat helpful
I'd like to see such a book for once written by someone besides a Silhouette author.

4: The best how-to write I've found
I've tried a lot of how to write romance books. Most are so dry and boring I can't maintain interest after the introduction and begin skimming.
Angela Knight's Passionate Ink: A Guide to Writing Erotic Romance definitely held my interest. Each section includes examples of how she utilized the techniques she discussed and explains how they worked within the scene. It also includes reader comments about what they want and what they don't want in Erotic Romance.
If you want to write Erotic Romance this is definitely a Must Buy!

5: Learn from among the best
If you're interested in writing erotic romance, then you should definitely pick up a copy of Angela Knight's Passionate Ink. Ms Knight is a best-selling paranormal erotic romance author who discusses writing in this genre in a straightforward, frank, and humorous manner. Equally as important, she provides excellent examples from her own work - both of things that worked and those that didn't. Her appendix is also very helpful for anyone seeking more information on the various things that are discussed. Although I'm an editor and not a writer, I found this book to be extremely useful in not only evaluating erotic romances, but other fiction genres as well.
