While this book is written with the male being the Romantic Liar, it applies equally to the reverse situation.
This is a very important book and should be read by everyone who wants a better understanding of the dynamics of the romantic relationship process. The book is filled with actual case studies. Some are truly heart breaking and it is fairly easy to think that you could never be duped by some smooth talking Romantic Liar. As Dr. Caldell points out, it can and does happen to well adjusted people.
Not only does Sally do a great job of pointing out six of the tell tale signs of a Romantic Liar, she goes into great detail concerning the healing process. If you have been or are currently in a deceptive relationship, this is the most important part of the book. All too often people think they are able to change their partner. As Dr. Caldwell points out, it will not happen. It is difficult enough to change our own behavior, even when we want to. It is nearly impossible to change the behavior of someone else. And the Romantic Liar would be one of the toughest to change.
The best advise for anyone caught in an abusive or deceptive relationship is to leave as quickly as possible. While we all have the desire to let a person know that we know how low life they are, there is nothing to be gained by confrontation and often it can cost you - not the person you have the confrontation with. Just don't do it.
While the book was written for women, it gives great insight into the dynamics of romantic relationships. Even though the book deals with highly dsyfuncational relationships, it can offer some insight and guidelines into all relationships.
Well worth reading.

I sure wish I had this book a few years back, I might would have made wiser choices when dealing with dishonest men. I am surprised that men could devise such schemes to deceive people, I don't think I will ever underestimate men again. The whole web of deceit they create is sordidly ingenius!!

I so wished I'd read this book 6 months ago. I was a victim of Romantic Deception. The red flags were all there and I didn't want to see them.
Sally explains in detail why this happens and how to NOT blame ourselves. We think we did something wrong. She also explains how these men almost have sociopathic tendencies and they KNOW they are lying, yet continue the relationship anyway.
I HIGHLY recommend this book for any woman out there who is in the dating world, ESPECIALLY if you are doing the online thing.
A MUST HAVE BOOK.

After many years on Amazon and many books, this is the first review I am compelled to write. I'm an educated, successful woman in my early 30's, and have just gone through a classic romantic deception (I never thought I would be 'stupid' enough to fall for such schlock). All of us are susceptible, and if we were only taught early on, we would be much less so. The material in this book should be shared in a seminar format with every young woman in high school. This book has great substance and covers much more than 'the six signs', including getting out of the involvement safely (as these men are often dangerous) and getting over it (in the chapter 'Some things you need to know'), as well as nipping it in the bud should such a situation possibly present itself again (in the chapter 'Survival guide'). Importantly, it helps you to understand that if you've gone through this it's not because you're an idiot. And, if you haven't gone through it, you are naieve to think that you're too smart to. Basically, if you are an honest person yourself, it is normal for you to expect that those around you are honest - especially in intimate situations. But, shockingly, this is not always the case. This book helps you to become aware of the worst type of dishonesty that is out there, and how to spot it before you get used (or come to grips with it if you already have been). I think this knowledge will also help one to be more appreciative when they really have come across a great catch, which can only be truly known after careful scrutiny - and this book certainly helps with the scrutiny part. Buy it. It's a small investment with a big return for your heath and safety.

This book is the most telling insightful book ever written about lying. It can happen to you (regardless of age, financial circumstance, education, looks etc.)---that's the biggest thing to recognize---prepare yourself. I am buying this book for all of my single friends. I read it cover to cover and it gave me everything I needed to assess the situation, understand why it happened, heal, act, and prevent it again.
