The Surrendered Single: A Practical Guide to Attracting and Marrying the Man Who's Right for You

Controversial author Laura Doyle (The Surrendered Wife) turns her attention to singletons in The Surrendered Single: A Practical Guide to Attracting and Marrying the Man Who's Right for You. Doyle claims that since the perfect man does not exist, women need to settle. In 27 succinct chapters, she explains how to find intimacy with a man by letting go of inhibitions about the way things are ""supposed"" to happen. Although many will perceive Doyle's approach as extreme and overly submissive, some of her tips are effective, e.g., ""treat yourself as well as you want a man to treat you"" and ""every romance starts with a smile.""
