Haven't read Wild at Heart (the one by the Eldredges, right?) but I did read Captivating (someone gave us a copy and highly recommended it). Uhm. Let's just say that reading it made me want to completely avoid WaH. It had SO much schmaltz and junk! O Woman, Thou Art The Crown of Creation, Didst Thou Not Know It? Go Ye And Do Your Girl Stuff! Since God Made You Last, You Are Thus So Superior and Dazzling and Wonderful!

There were some interesting points in the book (yeah, girls want to be romanced) but you could get the same points in a much less offensive and time-consuming fashion.

Just....bleh. So much of that book was forgettable and the bits that weren't I rather wish were. :-P

I did actually like Josh Harris' Boy Meets Girl; it had some VERY helpful stuff as Mark and I started our relationship. Still, like all reading (and cooking), take with a grain of salt.
