Description
Book Synopsis"Lose yourself:
Swoon has wicked fun answering that age-old query: What do women want?"—
Chicago TribuneTrade Review"I read
Swoon in the hope that some of its subjects would even slightly resemble me. I loved the book anyway." -- Andy Borowitz, comedian and New York Times best-selling author
"Bold…with a pinch of bawd, laid on a foundation of detailed research…A dazzling parade of lovers who embody what women want, which isn’t always what we’re told or what one might expect." -- Miami Herald
"Prioleau shows how the intoxicating mix of traits that make women swoon often goes deeper than the obvious looks, status and riches, at times bypassing them altogether." -- New York Post
"Sharp, sexy and completely engrossing. . . . Whether Prioleau is writing about Casanova, Bill Clinton or the great French actor Gérard Depardieu, she brings to life those elusive qualities of the world’s great seducers." -- BookPage
"Starred review. With exceptional vocabulary and bright prose, Prioleau offers a thoroughly researched, irresistible, accessible look at ladies’ men." -- Library Journal
"Betsy Prioleau’s vivacious prose grabs the reader, as does her marvelous wit, her insight into sexual desire, and her extraordinary research. It’s a fascinating, very sexy read, especially her interviews with great lovers of today who detail why they’re so successful in their seduction of women." -- Barbara Taylor Bradford, author of Letter from a Stranger
