SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2003

Torrid Romance announces the launch of its website TorridRomance.com, where clients can customize their own torrid romance novels with their names, physical descriptions, and other personal details for $34.99 per book.

For Valentines Day, birthdays, weddings, and showers, surprise someone special with a novel featuring her and her real love (or a fantasy love such as Brad Pitt) as the hero and heroine. Using the physical and material traits provided by the client, the characters in the novel are shaped to their desired profiles. She will be perpetually witty and well-coiffed and he will conquer barbarian warlords for her during the day while hand-feeding her chocolate-dipped strawberries by night. Shirtless.

Clients looking for an original and uniquely romantic gift idea may choose between four different romance genres for their book: a medieval romance, a western romance, an exotic vacation affair or a modern-Cinderella tale. Clients are also given the freedom to customize their novel's cover with their names and compose a personal message to their loved one that will appear on the dedication page.

All books conform to market paperback standards in order to provide customers the experience of being featured in an authentic romance novel and range between 150-200 pages. Each book generally requires 7-10 business days to produce, oftentimes sooner. Expedited service for Valentine's Day is available.

The writing team behind Torrid Romance novels promises their readers a steamy and unforgettable experience as they insist that, for the sake of their clients, they simply "had to meticulously research the love scenes for, you know, authenticity."

Torrid Romance, LLC is a company created to meet the gift-giving standards of clients in their never-ending pursuit of original and thoughtful gifts. These services are available through the company's website at www.torridromance.com.
