Romance therapist and two-time winner of the Latin Literary Award for her self-help books, Iam is the best-selling author of The Love Diet and Sex and the Perfect Lover. In I Love You, Now What?, she guides readers through the complexities of falling in love and building a lasting and loving relationship. The first part of the book explores the mysteries of love—how and why people fall in love, how to make the marriage decision, how to communicate effectively with one’s partner, and how to cope with common challenges such as jealousy and anger. The second half explores the sexual aspects of loving relationships, from knowing and finding one’s own and one’s partner’s erotic zones to oral sex, masturbation, and sexual variety. The overall message is one of self-awareness, understanding, and responsibility. Successful, loving relationships are possible only if both partners accept responsibility for knowing themselves and are willing to communicate and discuss their needs and desires openly. Iam includes numerous exercises and questions to shape the reader’s self-awareness. This is a practical, thorough, and well-written guide to finding love and keeping it. Recommended for all public libraries and bookstores.
