Guys No More Excuses! by Lady of the Lake Trafford Publishing
book review by P. Hooper
"If you learn what makes your other half smile, laugh, what they like/dislike, what turns them on/off if you're caring and honest, loyal, loving, considerate... well, you've got it made!"
After having listened to countless friends bemoan their boyfriend troubles, Lady of the Lake decided to write this book filled with advice she has given countless people over the years. Her hope is to help men improve their relationships and avoid many of the mistakes she has seen others make. The book is filled with lists designed to enlighten men in the art of pleasing a woman. One such list includes dozens of facts that the author thinks a man should know about his girlfriend, and it includes questions about the woman's hobbies, fantasies, favorite music, and who her friends are. There are also lists of romantic songs, good present ideas, and "the absolute NO-NO's." Some examples of things never to do include being disrespectful, lying, and leaving the toilet seat up at night.
Filled with tips on how to properly communicate and listen, this book is straightforward and simple, at times assertive and bold. The author frankly discusses the full consequences of infidelity, why honesty is paramount in a relationship, and how to be a supportive and loving mate. She also includes compelling anecdotes to illustrate her points, some of which are funny, while others are heartbreaking. Easy to read and interesting, this book offers sound practical advice for those new to love and those more experienced lovers who would like to improve their relationships. Never mincing words, the author's tone is that of a wise, trusted confidante or mentor.
