From AudioFile:

An editor and a writer at MEN'S HEALTH create a comprehensive guide for women on how to connect in every way with men. It explains how men think, communicate, isolate themselves, handle hurt feelings, make relationship commitments, and deal with their sexual needs. Stephen Hoye sounds credible with this material. He's engaging as a speaker and sounds perfectly comfortable with the sexual topics. He adds enough of his own personality to be a positive factor in the production, only occasionally sounding a bit condescending toward listeners. However, this quality, along with the insider tone of the writing and the authors' pervasive empathy toward men, will make some female listeners feel more like outsiders than the target audience.
