A PRACTICAL ROMANTIC GAMEPLAN FOR MEN!, April 28, 2006
This review is from: Romeo's Playbook: A Man's Guide for Enhancing His Relationship and Sex Life (Paperback)
Here's a book written especially for men (by a very perceptive and clever woman) that is packed with great relationship ideas. It is organized around a sports theme (football plays...chunking of information and the baseball diamond....the proper sequence) in order to make the information more palatable to the male psyche.
Many ideas in this book are designed as reminders for men to be thoughtful and creative about showing sincere appreciation for the woman in their lives. The ideas are presented neatly with a clever title (example: Big Bully: Don't be hurtful in the heat of the moment.) followed by how to do it (Example: Don't say anything to hurt her feelings. No name calling, no telling her she's worthless, no putdowns of any kind. Even after the argument is over she won't forget this kind of hurt.) and a coach's (woman's) helpful insight on the matter (Example: It's going to be hard for her to make you happy if she's not happy.)
There are other ideas that are meant to stimulate a man's creativity in the romance department (that may or may not work for the particular situation) like: Celebration: Make it fun with confetti, Chocolate Kisses: Use chocolate kisses to express your love, Splash Down: Play in the rain together, Illusion Maneuver: Watch the clouds roll by together, etc.). I know that some people may reject these kinds of suggestions, but that's the whole idea of this book: pick and choose what works for you now and keep the rest in the back of your mind in case the mood or situation changes.
In addition, this book ends with a plan of action that offers men a chance to organize what they've learned so that they can get immediate results in their own lives. This is a missing feature in a lot of similar relationship books.
I know there are several other books written for men on how to be a more loving and romantic love partner. This is one that is easy to read and filled of a wide assortment of helpful suggestions to fit almost every man's love situation. It is written by a woman with a subtle sense of humor and an understanding of what men want and how to relate to them in their own language.

Holy Cow!!, October 13, 2005
This review is from: Romeo's Playbook: A Man's Guide for Enhancing His Relationship and Sex Life (Paperback)
Man-o-man was I doing things wrong. Ever since I got this book my wife has turned into my dream woman! Guys, the saying is true, "When She's Happy, He's Happy". It is so easy to read, less than a paragraph in each play. I only have to read a paragraph at a time to find out what to do. It's the easiest relationship book I've ever seen! Plus it looks like I'm reading a football book and not some wimpy relationship book. If she's angry about something, I now know why. If I want a goooood evening, I look up romantic ideas and Home Run - Setting the mood for intimcay. She is so happy with our relationship that she is always trying to please me now.
I like Romeo's Playbook so much, my buddy is getting married next month, I'm giving him a copy!

Why didn't I think of that?, October 15, 2004
This review is from: Romeo's Playbook: A Man's Guide for Enhancing His Relationship and Sex Life (Paperback)
The suggestions made in this helpful little volume are so sensible and on-target that you'll be wondering how they didn't already occur to you last time you tried to come up with an idea for a special evening with a special someone. Fact is, men's brains don't work that way; we need a little help. THAT is what Lisa Hunter has provided, and in a fun way.
