A good read.
This book is good for beginners, nice guys who have tremendous approach anxieties. It will modify their core level of thinking. I found it interesting but no match for books from PUAs like Style, Mystery.
I also found that it doesn't quite realate to true Zen which is instant enlightenment not this kind of mundane. In addition the symbol on the girl's back is Tao-YinYang not Zen.

Conclusion
If you've already read those books, you can skip this book.
If you're infected with NGS Nice guy syndrome - this is a must.

I had a review up here before but all the reviews dissappeared. What's up with that? Oh well, I'm back to say this is indeed the best book on pickup out there. The Zen stuff is just icing on the cake. The book is filled with assignments, step by step instructions that will take you from where you are now to where you want to be, whether that's in a relationship or casual dating or whatever. It really explores all the variables and gives you some solid advice on improving your game and getting results. Definitely a well written and well thought out guide.

Saw this book at my brother's and decided to give it a look. I guess if you're afraid of women or afraid of rejection, lack confidence or are just plain ugly -- well scratch that last one, no don't -- then this might be the book for you. However, in my life I've found that there are women everywhere. You can find them in supermarkets and malls, at baseball games and town hall meetings, carnivals and parades.

Heck, they're everywhere. I've spotted them at the beach, in bars, uptown and downtown. I've seen them at the airport, even saw one in my carport. Lord have mercy there are just so many of them and I've found if you say hello, most say it back. My advice, if you want a dinner date, ask a woman, if she says no, ask another, but if you're afraid or too shy to do that, then give this book a whirl, it might just help you out.

These pua books continue to impress me. Their advice is equally applicable to business. Be in the moment when you talk to someone. Go with the flow of the conversation. Do not try to anticipate or direct it. Golden. Weiss gives examples of the hows and explains the whys. Also a good mantra: notice, admire, relate when talking to women. This mantra drives an emotional conversation which leads to a mutual emotional state. An excellent addition to the literature.

I absolutely loved this book;the authors writing is be both insightful and funny, a marvelous combination. I listened to the book at work and found myself cackling aloud almost one time a page. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the character of Liz Lemon in 30 Rock, Woody Allen, or Sex and the City.

Sorry this review isn't very good but I am not a review writer. I am a prolific reader but never, even if I loved it, feel moved to write a review but I want to add my vote to all the other people saying "Read this book!"

I couldn't put this book down. Amy has captured the problems of her generation by sharing her experiences with us. She is talented, pretty, smart, articulate, funny, considerate and just plain good. Her search for a caring, unselfish, willing to commit male always ends in disaster. Such is the story of the me generation.
I loved her truthfulness, her sense of humor, her talks with her father.
Any man that finds her and captures her heart is a lucky man indeed.
The reader gets so caught up in her emotional life and just wants to cheer her on. How pleased I was that she finds she is enough, she has all she needs to live a beautiful life. Bloom on, Amy!

I love this book. I very much identify with Amy's struggles, her triumphs and her challenges in this book. I laughed (at times, quite loudly, and repeatedly) and cried with her, nodded my head and said, "So true!" a few times as well. I was skeptical when I purchased it, because from reading the back cover, I thought that it would be the promise of yet another insightful book that failed to deliver; that the author claimed to know all about the "Late Bloomers", and actually knew nothing. This book knocks it out of the park. If you're a "Late Bloomer", buy it. Now. Then, go back and buy copies for your friends who AREN'T "Late Bloomers" so that they can "get it".

Cohen is a wry and unmuddied observer of the world around her

Amy Cohen felt at the top of her game when she wrote for television shows like "Caroline in the City" and "Spin City." All she needed was the perfect man to make the perfect marriage, and she could start looking at country houses. But when those jobs dried up, and she watched her beloved mother succumb to cancer, and as she suffered through yet another breakup, she felt as if her life had gotten horribly off-track somehow. Perhaps her priorities needed some straightening out. But rather than take a cold, hard (and probably predictable) look at herself, Cohen thankfully explores her world in a wistful, comical way. The result is THE LATE BLOOMER'S REVOLUTION, a memoir in essays.

Through her concise comic style, we get a bird's-eye view into her world. Cohen lovingly describes her madcap mother as the kind who would help her get over a breakup by planning a trip to Prague for both of them, where they spend the days looking at the ancient architecture and the nights chatting away in outdoor cafes. When a handsome Argentinean asks to join them, Cohen's romantic illusions are soon scuttled as she realizes that her dynamic mother is the object of this foreigner's affection, not her. All the while, her mother is trying to divert attention to her single daughter.

In the title essay, Cohen recounts a harrowing debacle on a bicycle that scarred her for life, figuratively, while attending a birthday party in the 1970s. This wasn't just anyone's birthday party. This was Mindy Weinstein's party. Mindy Weinstein was the most popular girl in the third grade: "She was lithe and blonde, blessed with a rare button nose that was adorable but also possessed character. Legend had it that sleeping at The Weinstein house was nothing short of paradise." And Cohen wants to impress her way into that paradise. Only one thing is wrong with that plan: she can't ride a bike. After a horrible fall, Cohen is done trying to impress Mindy Weinstein and her ilk and never mounts a bike again.

Following a particularly sticky breakup, she decides to finally conquer her fear once and for all, investing in a pricy Italian mountain bike and learning to ride, shakily at first, on the side of a busy Long Island highway. Before long, she is going on biking trips in Canada by herself and basks in the pride of an accomplishment that was hard-won. Life is too short to be paralyzed by the Mindy Weinsteins of this world.

The most touching essay, "Heartbreaker," concerns the close and bittersweet relationship she shares with her father in the wake of her mother's death. After a soul-crushing breakup, Cohen re-enters the dating scene, coincidentally at the same time as her widowed father, and both are surprised when he proves to be the more successful of the two. Older widowed women anxiously drop off bundt cakes as soon as they hear about the new eligible bachelor on the scene. After each date, her father sadly comments, "She's no Mom," but he understands it's a necessary evil: "Hey, I didn't choose this. I'd rather have Mom. You don't want me to be alone for the rest of my life. Do you?" His sweet supportiveness is abundantly clear as he desperately wishes that Cohen succeed in this endeavor and confides in his other daughter, saying, almost as a mantra. "I hope Amy meets someone first. I hope Amy meets someone first."

Many books out there expound on the quest to find the perfect man, but Cohen is a wry and unmuddied observer of the world around her. Her accounts of dates gone wrong and her greatest fears (of dying an old, infirmed woman, wearing a muumuu stained with cheap wine and tears) enable her to connect with the reader in a completely genuine and heartfelt way. As she watches various relationships fizzle or fade, she tries to glean some knowledge from them and move on as she remains steadfastly hopeful about the future. The book's epitaph, a piercingly perfect quote from George Eliot, says it all: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." We, the readers, want her to succeed. As a matter of fact, I think I might know the perfect guy for her...

To me, the true definition of a late bloomer is someone who enters an arena in which everyone else already has substantial experience very late in life and goes on to 'catch up' and master this arena.

Hardly a 'late bloomer' story, this book was more of a light, casual story about someone who's had some unfortunate dating experiences that didn't pan out and would be more aptly titled 'Single in the City'...

I consider myself to have excellent taste in books, both fiction and non-fiction, and would categorize this one as average at best.

Adequate, but not Outstanding

Review Date: 2008-07-25
Three and a half stars. This is a good, but not outstanding book on Christian approaches to sexual ethics. It is not heavily dogmatic, and actually reads much more like sociology than theology in most places. It integrates sociological, and psychological findings with their Biblical analysis, which seem fairly mainstream. They try to represent a diversity of opinions, and succeed modestly well enough, I should say. For those in need of a text that seems fairly middle-of-the-road and addressed the issue of Christian responses to the complex topic of human sexuality, this book should serve that purpose well. At some places they hold back too much on their own conclusions, and could have offered more. Students should find it a fair and comprehensive read, however.

I got this for my husband because it was assigned reading for a Bible study. He is not an avid reader, but he jumped in with both feet and really enjoyed it. He did feel that he should take the time to go through it again, that his study meetings just scratched the surface. High praise from someone who usually reads only car magazines!

Stu is a man everyone could learn from. He redefines 'macho' and, as a woman reading it, makes you long for this tenderness from your own husband. The topics he touches on are supported biblically, statistically and scientifically. A man who can pull from this book and live his life as a 'tender warrior' is truly 'every woman's dream'. I have nothing but good to say about every area of this book. If your husband is at all interested in self and/or spiritual growth, this is a must read.

The GODLY man
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2008-03-05
Unlike the reviewer who cannot identify with Pastor Stu's military background, there are many who have served this country, that can identify with Pastor Stu's background and his major decision as a Captain in the 5th Special Forces/Ranger with service overseas, including Republic of South Vietnam. I believe his sacrifice to country and his previous role as a soldier (the values of Duty, Honor, Country) makes Pastor Stu more credible and a more powerful advocate of what it is to be a man, a GODLY man. I also believe that had Captain Weber not decided to choose the ministry over the military career, he would have been quite successful in the military and achieve a field grade ranking of General in the U.S. Army. As it turned out, the ministry gained an influential shepherd who has written a number of books that has and will continue to influence other men in their walk with GOD.

There are many worthy insights in this book and the others written by Pastor Stu. It has been some time since reading the book, but I recall that a key decision must be made by all men and that is, "Who is Your Authority?" This is a crossroad..."who will you follow?" With you continue to follow your own personal inclinations, the secular wisdoms of the day, or will you allow GOD to be the authority in your life, the guiding principles of your life, and obey the WORD? It is the most important question for all men to consider and then choose wisely. There are many other Biblically sound teachings that are covered. I will only touch upon one. As Christians who are walking in FAITH, there is a need to eschew being the "lone ranger", the Clint Eastwood-machismo solitary gunfighter that takes on an entire pack of vermin and wastes them all in glorious Hollywood images. Rather, a Christian man needs other GODLY men to stand with them, because the battle against the secular world value system and against evil spiritual principalities cannot be realistically defeated as in a Hollywood-Clint Eastwood shootout type scenario and a symbolic ride into the sunset....NO, Pastor Stu and the Bible identifies the need for comrades-in-arms, "Ranger buddies", other centurions, GOD-fearing warriors who will watch your back and your flank. You need others in this spiritual warfare. Otherwise, you will succumb. He tells it like it is. A strand of 3 cords is tough to break. A group/team of committed GODLY men cannot be defeated. Gideon had his 300. Joshua and Caleb had their forces, albeit invariably outnumbered in their battles, Joshua and Caleb's army prevailed. Obedient to GOD, go to Battle alongside other Christian brothers-in-arms. Put on the full armor of GOD and you will win EVERY Battle. Hope this review helps.

A Christian may think they know about sex, what it entails and its spiritual signficance, but this book delivers a message that most are unaware of. Not only does the author biblically evaluate how the act of sex has such powerful spiritual impacts, but also that the "physical" alone carries deep meaning and purpose. A must read not for just any couple, but any Christian who wants to have a healthy attitude towards sex and sexuality as a whole.

Review Date: 2007-03-24
If the idea of sacred sex is totally foreign to you, you need this book. I bought one based on the previous reviews (see below) and was looking to improve my overall relationship with my husband of 27 years for Christ's glory. I give my husband, a bible teacher, credit for teaching me on many levels how our marriage is a priceless picture of Jesus and His bride. Regarding this book, the humor was a distraction and undermined an otherwise holy message. Quoting W.C. Fields, Marilyn Monroe, Billy Crystal and the like seemed contrary to the reverence the title suggests. The author was *not* crude or vulgar. I just recommend you read the excerpts Amazon offers on this book before purchasing. If the humor you see there works for you, I came away appreciating: 1) Mrs. Gardner's brief contributions and 2) the author's comment of how desecrated sex has become. You might try Sacred Marriage.

Graduate School Endorsed!

Review Date: 2007-05-04
We recently used Sacred Sex in a human sexuality class in graduate school. Fantastic choice! The overall class consensus was that not only was this book extremely helpful for us individually as we prepare to become professional counselors and wrestle with our own "theology of sex," but it will also be an invaluable resource for those we minister to in the future. This is not a book on "sexual technique" (there is an over abundance of those). Instead, Sacred Sex leads the reader on a unique yet vital journey into "Why God created sex in the first place" and helps them understand (in very practical ways) how to apply those discoveries to their own lives and marriages. We also greatly enjoyed the author's sense of humor. As they say, Sacred Sex is "A Must Read!"

A Good Dose of Belly Laughter -- with Reverence!
Helpful Votes: 8 out of 8 total.
Review Date: 2007-05-04
Dr. Gardner quotes the great C.S. Lewis as saying, "Nothing is more needed on the whole subject of sex than a good dose of belly laughter." I couldn't agree more. And Gardner provides that without EVER being disrespectful, crude, vulgar, or offensive. It seems to me that the goal of Sacred Sex is to help couples experience the total JOY that God, the Creator or sex, intended for his married children. This book helps couples realize that sex is not primarily about pleasure or procreation, which is the focus of most books on sex. Rather, it is about "oneness;" and true oneness leads to deep and abiding joy.

Gardner also cites the renowned Dr. Howard Hendricks as saying, "We should not be embarrassed to discuss what God was not embarrassed to create." This book will help Believers get over their embarrassment of s-e-x as it brings a healthy amount of humor to a very sacred subject and provides excellent tools for couples to discuss this very sacred act. Readers will greatly benefit from the author's challenge to approach every aspect of their sex lives with the question, "Will this make us more 'one,' or will this drive us apart?"

Sacred Sex is a great balance of Scriptural truth, challenge to change, practical wisdom, reverence for the "Marriage Bed," and God-honoring fun! Couples should buy it, read it together, and Celebrate Oneness in Marriage the way God intended!

Review Date: 2008-06-21
I have tried reading Ekman, who has spent years dissecting physical expressions and what they mean. Way too dense. Cox takes a friendlier approach wtih a good ratio between photos demonstrating her points and text. (Although the multiple colors and glossy pages are often a distraction.) She makes a lot of good points, a key one of which is about clusters: if someone is really attracted to you they will give you a cluster of four vibes---arched eyebrow, dilated pupil etc. all at the same time. Too often we misread because we see one physical indication of interest and off to the races we go. Her sage advice: don't. She also solves a couple of mysteries: women and high heels? So uncomfortable right? Well high heels makes a woman's glutes protude which makes her look more fertile and thus more desirable. Oh and eye that gleam? When we are emotional we cry. When we are emotional but not enough for tears, our eyes glisten. Pupils dilate. Desire around the corner. If you are at all interested in persuasion, and how you effect others(or to observe how others effect one another) take a read.

Review Date: 2007-02-20
I'm interested in the Psychology between the sexes, and this book--even though it's basically a book about flirting--tells the reader how the sexes flirt and the recipient's interpretations of a flirting technique.
"SuperFlirt" talks about nonverbal communication as well as verbal communication when interacting with a potential mate. It helps the reader identify situations in which a silent conversation may be taking place--such as arm placements, eye movements, and what someone does with his/her hands when interested in a potential partner.
This book is blunt and to-the-point without using much slang or beating around the bush. It's also quite humorous.

This book is funny, colorful, and warm, and will put a smile on your face. The flirting techniques are basic, but for those who are just starting out, it does cover the fundamentals.

I do want to point out, though, that it's what I would call Anglo-centric. It covers the courtship style expected in the white Anglo-Saxon culture; other cultures are quite different, so this is something to keep in mind.

The Sex-Starved Wife

Wow! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this title. I have been a sex-starved wife for more years than I can count. My marriage has been empty and loveless because my husband has no desire for me. My friends all complain that their husbands are always wanting sex and I feel so uncomfortable during those discussions because I feel like a freak of nature. It makes me feel as if something is dreadfully wrong with me. I don't even share what happens in my relationship because I'm mortified. I have felt so alone.

But now that I've read this great book, I KNOW I am not alone. As I read all the letters from women in my shoes, I cried because I know the pain they have been feeling. I understand how bad it feels to be so hurt and have your husband be unwilling to do anything about it. He doesn't even want to talk to me about it anymore. Weiner Davis explains why men loose desire, but the best part is that she gives concrete suggestions for getting your husband to be more receptive to doing something about the problem. I am so grateful that I read this book because I feel better about myself and I have even made some headway with my husband. He's agreed to read part of it and to speak to a doctor! I've been trying to get him to do something, anything for a long time and he's just gotten defensive. So, this book marks a major turnaround in my marriage. I can't say for sure what will happen next, but I can tell you that at least we're talking and he's showing some willingness to care about my feelings. That's huge. I strongly suggest that if you're a woman whose husband is disinterested sexually, you get this book. It can change your marriage.

I just finished reading this book. I had some problems with it. The problems that I had were with what I took as the author's emphasis on how the wife may be "at fault" (nagging, fighting, and being unimaginative, etc). I found that message to be demeaning, sexist, and very unsupportive to women. Insinuating that women "are" or "if you find yourself" nagging and fighting and angry (which of course is a terrible culturally demeaning characterization). I also object to the characterization that what women need to do is simply spice up the atmosphere in the bedroom - and be "understanding" of your husband's thoughts and needs, this of course is a huge oversimplification of this terrible and life wrecking issue.

I have a non-responsive husband and my experience is that no matter what you do, there is no response. The non-responsive spouse is in control of the sex (as is stated in the book). I am not a nag. I am imaginative. I do discuss. There doesn't appear to be any joint solution to this problem - because it isn't a joint problem --- it is MY problem. He is perfectly happy the way things are. I am the one who is unhappy.

There really wasn't anything in this book about my situation at all. I feel degraded by this book and it's seemingly "simple" solutions which lie entirely in the lap of the woman. Where is the man's responsibility in all of this? I think that the author does a terrible disservice to women who have this problem in their marriage or relationship. The only real help given is exercises for pre-mature ejaculators.

This is a huge problem for women in this country - there is a cultural myth that men are always and forever ready at the drop of a hat - and women and men believe it. There isn't a simple solution to a man who refuses to have sex - dressing up in saran wrap is not going to fix this problem. Giving "Glamour" and "Cosmo" solutions to this huge life wrecking situation is horrible. Shame on the author!

Excellent book on often ignored (if not outright denied) social problem.

Finally, a book addressing a problem many wives encounter but many husbands would deny even exists! Enough of hearing on television and radio the popularly held myths that "Most men want sex all the time. Low sexual desire is only a woman's problem. Some men lack sexual desire, but the prevalence of low desire in men is extremely low. & Men who aren't interested in sex must have a sexual dysfunction of a serious medical condition. Otherwise they'd be ready to go."! Let's be fair and look at the WHOLE picture. To date it has been far to easy for researchers to study the subject of low desire in women. As the author points out, many studies have been conducted on this topic and so few about low desire in men one has to wonder whether all these researchers are men! Yet researchers finally did identify HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder or low desire), something MORE prevalent in men than in women. Low desire appears to be an equal opportunity employer when it comes to gender. Unfortunately to date also too many women have had a tendency to blame themselves for the existance of this problem. This is not true of most men who have low desire wives. This book offers a variety of explanations beside a physical erectile dysfunction for the lack of sexual desire in some men. As a social worker, I see this book as liberating to female clients who suffer from low self esteem not knowing what to think of the cause of their male partner's problem.

Oh, my, Gosh! I think the author has been in my mind

All these years, 33 of them, I thought it was me and it wasn't. All these years I suffered with no one to talk to who understood my pain. I could hardly read this book without crying with such pain....I didn't even know I had. My husband was moved and we are now going on a path
that is giving us answers. Thank you! At last! I am understood.

I was really enthusiastic about this book and purchased it for my postmenopausal Mom. But before giving it to her I decided to read it and probably use some of the tips. My sex life is quite thriving, although I am a Mom to an active toddler; I am in good physical health with BMI 20, my heart is healthy and my hormone levels are absolutely perfect.

After reading the book I couldn't help but cheer the simplistic but logically sounding tip - simply beef up the intake of fish oil and your orgasms will feel like fireworks. So I tried. I kept my intake of fish oil twice lower than the recommmended level in the book, but still...

I started LACTATING. I am not pregnant, and my breasts are healthy. But I started lactating almost two years since I breastfed my baby. The engorgement was awful, and all the tingling was exactly the same as during normal breastfeeding.

My doctor was completely lost until I told him about my "orgasmic" experiment.

The lactation stopped two days after I discontinued my "orgasmic diet" and went back to normal eating.

Clearly, the author who has zero background in medicine or nutrition, has never fully accessed the risks of artificially boosting levels of female hormones via something as innoculous as fish oil.

Here are five reasons why you should not buy this book:

1. As I said, the author recommends artificially boosting levels of testosterone to help you achieve orgasms. But she doesn't mention that testosterone in woman's body is converted into estradiol which triggers estrogen receptors and causes an avalanche of unhealthy consequences. The author preaches a sensational, simplistic approach because...

2. She is an IT specialist, not a doctor, a nurse, or a nutritionist. Basically, she has zero credentials that would permit her to give medical advice.

3. This obese woman in "sensible shoes" recommends you to "embrace real foods" such as fatty meats, cheese, full-fat dairy and eggs because they are "good for your body". Health foods are "for celibate Buddhist monks". Dr. Atkins, hellooo?

4. By promoting high-fat, high-cholesterol, high-protein diet and estrogen-boosting supplements the author sets women up for a host of hormone-related cancers including breast and ovarian cancers which are clearly linked to high intake of animal fats in recent scientific studies.

5. The message of this is unhealthy, to say the least. A single overweight mom of two, she honestly believe that vaginal cones and vibrators are woman's best friends. "Adding Partner to the Mix" - this is the name of one of the chapters. Where the partner has been all the time?

My bottom line: there's no way my easily impressed Mom reads this book. I wasted my money, but there's no reason why you should, too, unless you prefer to have spontaneous orgasms instead of healthy heart, breasts and ovaries.

(Amazon's video review option is making me laugh right now! "Show the product in use as you describe your experiences with it." Ha!) I did not believe in this diet. I started the fish oil and other supplements when my husband read the book because I knew that was good for me anyway. No placebo effect here. I expected nothing. Especially since I had no compliants in the sex department anyway. I've always been highly responsive to my husband. Then it started to kick in. So I started watching what I was eating the way she advises in the book and doing my exercises. And it really moved into high gear! I can't recommend this highly enough. I'm 41 and my energy level, lubrication, mood, and libido are all sky high. I can't keep my hands off my husband! (The reviewer who hates it hasn't tried it or she'd be too happy to write mean reviews about a book it sounds like she probably hasn't read.)
TRY IT! It works for men too!

It Works!!!

NOT JUST FOR THE YOUNG: This is the book your OB doctor and the drug companies do NOT want you to read. I suffered from low libido and other menopause symptoms for ten years and was repeatedly told by more than one doctor there was nothing to be done except HRT. My marriage was on the rocks needless to say. I had googled "menopause" a million times and found only more variations of HRT which we all know is now linked to cancer. It was not until I starting thinking maybe I was nuts and googled "sex therapy" and up popped this book. Totally natural program. I've been on it for one month and I function sexually like I did in my 30s! (I'm 58). Desire and natural lubrication are back with a vengeance! I don't know where the negative review comes from. Other than the book sale, I can't see how the author makes additional money. Everything you need for the diet comes from independent sources.

This REALLY REALLY works! Who knew?

The Orgasmic Diet: A Revolutionary Plan to Lift Your Libido and Bring You to Orgasm Most products are over rated but here's one that's simple and easy to do. Fish Oil and this book has changed my LIFE! Orgasms are stronger - lubrication is 10 times better and desire - well who knew? Overall I give this book a 10++. Make that an 11. Buy this book if you are male or female. Buy this book if you want to live a more fulfilling life. Buy this book for your partner or someone you care about.

Thanks Marrena for making it all possible!

If you buy this book new from Amazon, you will probably end up on the author's email list where you will be subjected to his spam for years to come. My repeated requests to be removed have been in vain and have forever erased any worth that may have been found in the pages of this marginal work. If you still want a copy, buy it here used and save yourself from the spam at least. In fact, my spam-free copy is available for sale at a steep discount.

This was a great book very interesting. I read it in two days, which I've never read a book that fast, I just couldn't put it down. However the only bad thing I found was that it focused a lot on dating techniques rather than only body language. It was all right FOR ME, because I wanted a book more focused only on body language. Great book if you want to know more on how to pick up women though. Their are better books out there on body language though.

R. Don Steele is the expert on female flirting. If you don't think he knows his stuff, go to U-Tube and watch the videos made by his local TV stations. He accurately predicted the female response almost unfailingly. This book is a capsule look at his cogent theories and well worth the small price.

Life Changing. Buy all three of his books

I have three of Steele's books and you can't find a better value anywhere on body language or courtship/dating info. I recently became single again and I am buying all three of his books for a second time, as the others are in storage. The information is priceless.

This book helped me to see my wife in a different light. It was a bit wordy in some areas but what they said was good. I actually got hooked on romance and began reading other books out there. A really outstanding one is The Romantic's Guide. I actually saw the author on Orprah.

This is a gem among gems, truly.

I love this book. First and foremost, unlike most other books for romantically-underdeveloped men, this one is written by two very intelligent women, who support their recommendations with actual research and statistics. Right now, I am re-reading this book because I don't want any of its wisdom to elude me. I believe that now, having read this wonderful book, I am able to develop into a better boyfriend and future husband for my One and Only.

This book was a blessing! It helped me reevaluate who I was, how I treated my wife and what my priorities were in my marriage. Had I not read this book, my marriage would be in shambles, but instead, my wife and I are happier and enjoying our most nurturing relationship ever! No matter what your backgroud or current level of relationship with a woman, this book provides just the information you've been looking for. Whether you're a sensitive, romantic or a quiet, conventional guy, this book is worth its weight in diamonds, flowers or love letters. I found myself reading chapters over and over, and even taking notes. Authors Lucy Sanna and Kathy Miller have written a real winner! This book is a must for every Gentleman's library
