by Laura Corn (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Wow. One hundred and one complete blueprints for a romantic seduction scene. Once a week you and your beloved are supposed to pick a scenario from the book; they're packaged so that they can't be read until they're torn out and opened, so neither of you will have a clue what the other has in store for you. (No cheating!) Icons on the front pages of each plan let you know the approximate cost, whether travel or food is involved, and whether it should be chosen during a particular season. Have a grrreat time!

Product Description
This is the first and only book filled with secret sealed recipes for romance--half for men and half for women. Because they're sealed, neither party has any idea what the other is planning--but sometime during the week, each will surprise the other with a sweet seduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grrreat book, but requires some effort and expense, April 2, 1999

By	E. Brooks (Williamsburg, VA (USA)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this book for my husband as a Valentine's Day present, not because I thought our romance needed work, but because I thought it would be fun and introduce us to some new ideas. It *has* been a lot of fun, but after the first couple of weeks we switched to doing the romances every other week because 1) even the "inexpensive" ones were turning out more expensive than we thought they would be, and 2) pulling an envelope on Sunday and performing the romance by Saturday just wasn't enough time in a lot of cases! So now we switch off - I'll do one one week, and he'll do one the next week, and we pull our envelopes two weeks in advance to give us plenty of time to plan.

Most of the romances have been LOTS of fun, and very romantic, but so far the "kiss of the week"s have been sortof dumb, and the "passion coupon"s just haven't been manageable.

Don't let those things stop you from buying the book, though! The ideas for the romances are FANTASTIC, even if they frequently need a little (or a lot) of adapting to make them fit in your lifestyle - they at least give you a starting point to work with!

*DO* pay attention to the expense, though. So far we've wound up paying at least $10 - $25 MORE for each romance than she predicts. If you're on a tight budget, this might just make you even more stressed. If you're on a budget, I still recommend buying the book, and then pulling ALL of the envelopes in advance so you get a reasonable idea of what they cost, and maybe some ideas for reducing the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for romantics, or for those seeking to rekindle, December 4, 2000

By	Wayne Steinhardt (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Laura Corn's book is simply wonderful. The idea is so simple, yet it works very well. The book is filled with 101 ideas for romantic evenings. 50 are for him, 50 for her (with the last one to be done together). The seductions are sealed shut, so you can't see what's inside them. All you know before opening it is the title, approximately what it will cost you, whether food or travel (by car) is required, and what season (if any) it is appropriate for.

Each week one or both of you take one and work on pulling off this romantic evening. A lot of the fun comes from knowing how much your partner will enjoy all the effort you put into the evening.

The ideas inside are very good. Some of them are simple and require little planning. Others are more elaborate. But all are fun to do. I won't spoil it for you by telling you what any of them are, but, suffice to say, they are simply great.

It is true that there may be one or two that do not fit your personal situation. However, the plans are usually broad enough that with a little thought and some modification, you can usually make it work.

One caveat: Laura usually describes on the cover of each seduction how much it is going to cost. In reality, you should probably count on spending a bit more than she plans; especially if you make your own customizations to the plans she provides.

My wife and I have given this book to others we know and would recommend it to anyone who wants to rekindle those flames of romance; or to anyone who is simply a romantic at heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A blueprint for getting a relationship back on track?, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

My husband and I have been together 12+ years. Two kids and one house later, we have fallen into a rut. (Sounds familiar?)

I'm thrilled that we have this book. True, some of the ideas are corny, but wasn't that how it was when you first met your mate? This book reminds you how to be considerate, thoughtful, anticipating each "romance" together. You get out of it what you put into it.

We have experienced 4 romances so far, and for the most part they have been memorable, if not always perfect. The icons are helpful to clue you in on preparation time, $ spent, etc. The anticipation is truly half of the fun. Two of our friends have purchased this book on our recommendation... it's worth a look.
