Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
This addition to the popular Chicken Soup series blends a variety of stories--heartwarming, humorous, and poignant--to create a volume with broad appeal. Those passionate about love will appreciate stories like "An Evening at the Waldorf," in which the renowned hotel helps one man get his girl, and "Prince Charming," in which a young woman searches for her true love only to find him right in front of her. Comedy lovers will adore "Ready to Be Entertained," a tale about mistaken identity at the local video store, and Dave Barry's "Road to Romantic Ruin Is Paved with Practical Gifts." Finally there are emotion-filled stories like "Angel on the Beach," a piece about overcoming the grief of losing a spouse, and the touching "Mourning the Loss, Mending the Heart," in which one couple handles a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Chicken Soup for the Romantic Soul will surely charm romantics and cynics alike. Megan Kalan

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, sweet stories, January 20, 2003

By	Pat Stephens (USA) - See all my reviews

This volume is filled with incredibly sweet stories and is certainly going to make you swoon. The best part of this book of romance is that the couples are real life and therefore you dont have to suspend disbelief as you do for romance novels.

While I wouldn't recommend this book if you are simply looking for romantic tips and ideas (The Romantic's Guide is a better choice) I would highly recommend it if you simply like the warm and fuzzy stories that the Chicken Soup books have continued to supply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Heart Stories, January 26, 2003

By A Customer

These are stories that reassure us the love does exist in its sweetest form. A nice thing to read about in these days of 50% divorce. Highly recommend it, especially at Valentines day - it beats candy.
