At Long Last Love

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY APR 4, 1994

This husband and wife team, owners of a matchmaking firm, J. Wingo International, combine corporate headhunting approaches with advising readers who want to enter into and maintain a long-term relationship. Emphasizing that self-knowledge and openness are more important than strategy, the authors suggest that many people remain unattached because they cling to stringent requirements for potential dates (or mates) in such areas as appearance, income or profession. Chapters on such issues as overcoming past experiences, first meetings and making commitments begin with lengthy case histories illustrating how difficulties were solved--with the authors' help. The Wingos' frequent references to themselves and their business make their book more advertisement than self-help guide. Author tour.
