I bought this book at Half Price Books years ago after hearing about it from a friend. It seems that people either love or hate it. I personally love it. I was always a strong, independent career girl, but had trouble with men. After reading this book everything changed. I met a handsome, successful "bachelor- for-life" and decided to try this book out in real life. Everything worked exactly as the book said. I let him call, ask me out, pay for dates and take control. He fell head over heels in love and bought me a gorgeous princess cut diamond engagement ring 6 months after we met. He gave me an amazing wedding 8 months after that. He still buys me flowers constantly and showers me with attention. Its been incredible. I feel like the rules actually gave me complete control of the relationship while making him THINK he was! It's really hard, but it worked flawlessly.
