Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

De Angelis' slim volume on love and romance is full of aphorisms, such as "Great love will probably make you uncomfortable as it forces you to look into the mirror at yourself." She follows these adages with brief explanations or bits of advice on sharing, sex, love, communication, and so forth. Sure to capture some attention in this Valentine season.

"Real Moments for Lovers" is one of the shortest books I've ever read. While there are only a few key ideas, applying them to your life will have big results. Barbara DeAngelis give practical ways to enhance intimacy through touch, gazing and sensual language.

What comes naturally when you are first "in love" can be relearned as passion seems to fade. This is a book for lovers who want to rediscover the excitement of new love. Barbara DeAngelis offers techniques you can use to reach deeper levels of intimacy.

Do the ideas work? From my own personal experience I think the chapter on touch is essential reading. My husband and I have tried out some of the ideas from this book and they seem to deepen intimacy and also promote a happier relationship.

Dr. De Angelis shares from her rich wealth of relationship and love expertise to help singles, couples, and married people to become LOVERS. Indeed, when my late husband was dying from cancer certain aspect of the sexual dialect were not possible, however, we remained LOVERS as Barbara has so magnificently put it. Making Love is not always about the moment of the act, it is about the quality of the Connection.

She writes about sexuality, by the way, in a manner which combines both adult sophistication and 97% of it is where your grandmother could read it safely. Dr. De Angelis addresses sex and sensuality oh so carefully and tactfully so you need not be afraid to read it or be caught reading it. Very thoughtful of her.

Barbara both describes and prescribes practical help for couples to be LOVERS which includes the Spiritual plane.

Give a copy to your beloved for Valentine's Day, read it to each other, and then go do the practicum together to deepen your relationship intimacy.
