My Take On The Book
As a part of the award winning Chicken Soup for the Soul books, this book does a great job at continuing the tradition of great motivational and inspiring stories that readers have come to expect within these books.

I am a romantic at heart and I always love to hear stories of couples in love. I have to say that in reading these I try and find new ways to woo my wife. I know that I sometimes can use all the help that I can get, and this book delivers!


This book is filled with stories that will make you laugh, and for some people, they will make you cry. They will take you back to your dating days and make you feel like a kid again, having your first cruch and your first love.

I found this book to be both heartwarming and inspiring. I hope that I can take the advice given and make some sparks happen in my own relationship with J-Mom, as all spouses love to be romanced! I definitely recommend this book to all!
