Maybe Pamela's awful personality destroyed love (10,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epistolary novel

'maybe pamela's' is the definition.
(Samuel Richardson's Pamela is an epistolary novel)

'awful personality destroyed love' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'personality' is an anagram of 'epistolaryn'.
'love' anagrammed gives 'ovel'.
'epistolaryn'+'ovel'='EPISTOLARY NOVEL'
