  A LOVE STORY....THE WAY GOD INTENDED 
HOW INCREDIBLE IN THIS DAY & AGE FOR A HOLLYWOOD COUPLE TO HAVE SUCH A STRONG FOUNDATION! THEIR LOVE, THEIR RELATIONSHIP TRULY IS AS GOD INTENDED. THEIR "ADVICE" AT THE END OF THE BOOK ARE WORDS SO MANY OF US CAN IMPLEMENT INTO OUR OWN QUEST FOR A RELATIONSHIP OR TO HELP IMPROVE A CURRENT RELATIONSHIP. I HAVE A NEW FOUND RESPECT FOR TWO ENTERTAINERS I HAVE ADMIRED OVER THE YEARS. MAY GOD BLESS THEM WITH CONTINUE SUCCESS.
  Angela and Courtney ( antgrad )
A journey to love that readers familiar with this Hollywood couple will likely enjoy. The couple takes turns narrating their lives from childhood to adulthood - from college at Yale to the New York theatre to the Los Angeles Hollywood scene. We read about their romantic relationships. We read about addictions and issues with their parents. We read about their own struggle to become parents. The book wraps with Angela and Courtney's views/tips on becoming a better you/strengthening and maintaining your relationships. Readers are sure to come away from this with a greater respect for this couple's views on life and love.

*NOTE: There are WAY too many typos in this book. Would I buy it? Hmmm, nah - not something I'd want to read again.
  [Gotta] Love the LOVE in this story!!! ( c0denamer3d )
I really enjoyed reading Angela's contributions. Courtney's grew on me. The book was a thorough journey down the path(s) that led them to become [such] great lovers, and it's a very insightful and candid story. Alot of passion I felt through their recounting, and it even made me look at some things in my own life differently. Would recommend to men and women-- whether single, married, divorced.......or dating! I think it may change the way one looks at the opposite sex [a little bit]--

  Worth Reading ( linda29669 )
Like most others, I highly enjoyed Angela & Courtney's story. I loved how the author alternated from her story to his bringing completion to the whole novel. I admire them both more seeing how they put their personal tragedies & demons out in the open but yet came out on top.
