I just read Captivating by John Eldredge...best known for Wild at Heart. And, yes. This is the "woman's version"!
Honestly, I did think the book was a bit fairy-tale'ish, but still, I could relate to many of the feelings described in the pages. I also, believe that it does give a great over-all explanation of what a girl wants. Seriously. You just have to be willing to delve deeper while reading. Warning: This book can be rather emotional at times.
“Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into romance..."
And, there is no doubt men could learn from reading this book. I mean, what gal doesn't want a bit of romance now and again?!?

Several of my friends say that reading "Wild at Heart" was one of the best things they ever did for their marriage! I can imagine that this book would be the same way. I'll have to add them both to my book list! Thank you for posting!
Hope you have a great week!♥
How wonderful that they've created both a woman's and a man's version!
I heard a speaker raving about this book at a conference, I completely forgot about it though, thank you for reminding me to look it up :)
I've read part of this book, and others by the author. Very good.
Linked here from Lisa Shaw's blog where I saw you had commented. You have a good blog. If you get a chance, please visit mine at Family Fountain.
