In The Magic of Making Up, author T.W. Jackson outlines a series of techniques that spurned lovers can adopt to win back their loved one. The book focuses largely on the post-break-up phase, and shows people how important it is to lay the right foundation from the beginning and remain in control of their emotions. He explains how failure to do this can lead to irrational behaviour, which adds further damage to the relationship and makes reconciliation impossible.

The Magic of Making Up aims to make people aware of the potential pitfalls when trying to win back a lost love, revealing the do's and don'ts of the process and the most common errors that drive former partners away for good. As well as providing sound advice and guidance in the e-book, Jackson also offers a feedback service that enables readers to contact him should they have any further questions.

Win Back Love is written by Annalyn Caras, a self-proclaimed broken relationship sufferer. After going through a painful break up, Caras read numerous books on the subject but was unable to find the right answer.

Finding the existing books on the subject too confusing and theoretical, she decided to look for the answers herself, and came up with her own strategy for reuniting former lovers. Using this strategy, she and her loved one solved their problems and re-kindled their failing relationship.

Annalyn has revealed this little-known strategy in her e-book. In it, she lays out a step-by-step plan that will help you win back your lost love. The book will tell you which mistakes you should avoid, how to get your ex to initiate contact again, and finally, how you can once again have a rewarding relationship with your lost lover.

Testimonial: "I just wanted to give my thanks and appreciation for you and your fantastic system. Before ordering the program I was very down due to the fact that my long-time boyfriend had broken up with me. I bought Win Back Love and by the end of Step 1, my light went on. I could see this was going to work. The best part is I didn't have to trick him or play any immature games. He came back to me a lot sooner than I expected. We're now together again and very happy. Thank you so much!!" Cheryl Davis, New York City, NY

She called me late last night and we talked for hours. She said she wants to be together with me again. I'm just thrilled right now. We're going out tonight and I feel strongly that we will get back together. I'm going to do what you suggest to make sure we get back on the right foot so this never happens again. Thank you so much." Kenny, Henderson, NV

Everything was so easy to understand it was not hard to follow at all. I can't thank you enough for the impact you have had in my life." Josh Wilcox, Phoenix, AZ
