A pleasant and supportive read broken down into simple steps. It's a solid place to start for anyone thinking about taking the big step, but it offers practical advice for lovers needing a push in the right direction. It's certainly worth a read.

"Is it normal to want romance after you've lost the one you love?"

It's the question that is on the hearts of many. But thankfully it is the focus of several really good books that have come out recently, including Seniors in Love, Dr. Ruth's Sex After 50, Seasoned Romance, and Grandpa Does Grandma.

The answer is definitely yes. And as Arletta says in the wonderful Chapter 10 of Seasoned Romance, "Love is truly lovelier the second time around." It's deeper than mere words to a song.

Sure, there are challenges. Yes, there are even pitfalls. But it's absolutely normal to want romance. Not only is it normal, but it is worth every challenge and pitfall to find love and experience lovemaking again.

Robert Wolley does an excellent job at taking us through the process of how to initiate, continue, and even deal with losing, love in our old age. This book is invaluable to people involved in working with a geriatric population, as well as to seniors who are looking to make a new start in the world. Like all his other books, Mr. Wolley gives us the feeling of first-hand knowledge being contributed to this book, making it more real and more applicable to our lives.

After reading various romance and self-help books (one written by my father), this one has to be one of my favorites. The book meets the difficult challenge of being full of practical, helpful guidance without being dull. The author does this mainly through the use of various antecdotes. Whether it is the story of the psychologist seeking someone to listen to his problems, or the real estate agent saying it isn't "location, location, location," it is "I love you, I love you, I love you," these brief stories are the most endearing and captivating part of the book. The also become an indirect method by which the author passes wisdom on to the reader. I strongly recommend this book to any senior looking for romantic encouragement or guidance. This book will help you love again and will serve as a friend in your corner giving you support. A great read for any senior looking for love or a great gift for any senior you already love.

A beautifully written book recommended for anyone who might be considering an intimate senior relationship.--Valuable, comforting advice for seniors thinking of taking the chance to seek a loving partner.

A great book for seniors thinking about romance. Here's what the author says:

Two things this book is not. First, this is not a sex guide, a "how-to-do-it" manual for the elderly. In every bookstore there are shelves full ofguides for those who need help (or a refresher course for those unsure of themselves) if "doin' what comes nacherly" doesn't happen. The fact of sexual activity is recognized in this book, but mostly that recognition deals with mutually achieved attitudes about sexual events;
sexual techniques are absent. Second, this book is not a guide for dealing with the
loss of a loved partner either by death or separation (that is, divorce). We ... are widowed or separated. In no way are the two the same; only the situation in which we find ourselves is common: we are without love and loving partners. And we think we have found or might find someone who might become that loved and loving parter.

I lent a copy to a friend, who said it gave her confidence that it was normal to want romance again. In large-enough-to-read type.

Any book about seniors that has an endorsement from Dick Van Dyke is all right by me.

He writes, "It's high time someone exploded the myth that only the young fall in love. This book tells the truth."

If I had to pick three books to take to a deserted island, it would definitely be the Bible, Seasoned Romance, and Seniors in Love. A younger person might not appreciate the latter two books as much, but I definitely have, and I enjoy reading and re-reading all three.

Ably written by Robert Wolley for older readers who find themselves without the companionship by a "significant other", Seniors In Love: A Second Chance For Single, Divorced, And Widowed Seniors takes as its particular focus seniors entering back into the '"Love Game" and helping them to realize that there is nothing wrong with falling back into love, or falling in love for the first time, as an elder citizen. With an outline containing several main issues, Seniors in Love presents to the readers several questions particularly designed and ideally place to assist the reader in their own personal decision for love.

As an 81 year-old senior alone in this world, I had very few things to look forward to. A friend of mine let me read her copy of Seniors in Love. The book opened up a new world for me, and I was able to enjoy a close relationship with this friend.
