Many of us have spent countless days endlessly dreaming of the ‘perfect love’; hopeless romantics reading out love poetry from high branches, and serenading with violins, or perhaps looking out of our windows for that knight in shining armour, or the fabled prince. The modern day version of this is depicted in ‘Pretty Woman’ and other such movies. The Alchymeic intention of Mills and Boons is to help us see through the illusion of our dreaming, so that we may be lifted beyond seeking happiness in the ‘other’ and therefore begin to discover what is true relationship.
