Nina Atwood is a licensed psychotherapist and award-winning executive coach. A former self-help author, Nina now crafts fiction, her first two novels—Unlikely Return and Free Fall—soon to be followed by more. Nina lives in Dallas, Texas, with her husband and two adorable rescue cats.

From the author:

I’m thrilled you’ve found my books, and I hope you come back for more. I love delving into the drama of life—family secrets, suspense, mysteries that beg to be solved, and thriller rides to get to the shocking conclusion. I write redeeming characters who mess up along the way (don’t we all?) but who ultimately win the day. I’m not afraid of the dark, but there must be light. I believe life is messy and people are vastly imperfect, but what gets us through is love, and that is what balances the darkness. Visit me at ninaatwoodauthor.com/freenovella/ to get FREE fiction and intel on new launches. Happy reading!

A very helpful book!

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is helping me greatly in making healthy changes in becoming the right person for someone. I disagree with the other reviewers who say that they don't like the approach Ms. Atwood uses to change the way we think about dating and relationships. One chapter is devoted to the different mistakes people make in their attempts to pursue a relationship. When I read about these mistakes, I discovered that I too had made several mistakes - mostly judging women who otherwise would be a good choice for me. I'm putting off on my search for the right woman to settle down with until I learn and practice healthy ways of finding and building up healthy relationships with people. Though I'm still going through the book and doing the "homework", I'm confident that this book will greatly help me to build healthy relationships with people. If you're tired of having multiple failures in relationships with people and want to be destined for success, this book is a must-have!

Oldschool Dating advice

This book seems very old, both in its poor use of technology and in its ideas on women's roles in dating. I found a couple of sections somewhat helpful and will reread them to see if they will be useful.

One of the best books about dating I ever read. It really helped me to decide what I wanted in a relationship, make a list and stick to it. If Mr Wonderful didn't come along, it encouraged me to make myself happy.

I ordered this book and "The Temptations of the Single Girl" also by Nina Atwood. Well, do yourself a favor and just get the other book, which is fantastic. This book was written by the author ages ago and contradicts the other book. I wrote to the author and she agreed that this book is not nearly as good and that she has "grown since writing" this book. With the author's blessing, this book went right back to Amazon.

Although the name turned me off, I began reading this and have found it very helpful to learn my dating patterns and be able to find healthier relationships. I would highly recommend it.
