I almost fnished this book in one night! It is wonderful! I am in my late forties and was started to lose alittle of my Spark! I am a Real Cougar in every sense of the word, but,everyone now and then needs a pick me up! This book was just the ticket! It made me see that YES I am doing almost everything right! and it gave me some much needed encouragment to keep up exactly what I have been doing...Living life to it fullest and using my age as a PLUS!!! Confidence comes with age!

The best part is a sign up for the cougar club on line...GREAT!!! Wonderful articles from REAL women and very helpful...This was the best part of the book, helping me reach out to other women just like me!!!!

It answered many questions for an example, Why is it that as soon as I turned 40, younger me were FINDING me, being attracted to me!!!! With no encourgement at all!
Where were these great guys when I was younger!!! Back then only much older men seem to be chasing me!!!!

How refreshing to see that it was my Confidence and independance that was attracting them! This only came with age and learning from life experiences...

Thank you for making this book available Amazon!
You Rock as does the author of this book!
