Ian attributes the revival of interest in his mother's book to the current trend of mainstream romantic fiction that has become increasingly like soft porn. "I feel that pure romance is timeless and offers young people a chance to learn love and respect in their life, and in new relationships. The power of love is more important in everyone's life than anything else, especially in the threatening and dangerous world of today. Every Valentine's Day is a Barbara Cartland anniversary as it celebrates pure love and romance."
