About the author

Sex: How to Get More of It, and Intimacy: How to Get More of It, both take a no-holds-barred approach to relationships for all of the men and women out there.
What can you do or not do to bring joy to your significant other? How can you "work it" so that both of you are happy and getting what you need? The titles may be blunt, but I believe in getting straight to the point. Men typically want more sex. Women typically want more intimacy, security and love.
These books unlock the mysteries on how to achieve all of that in, believe it or not, 20 easy steps.
Now, as for writing the cookbook...who would have guessed?? I've spent the vast majority of my life trying to avoid cooking! Then I met my hubby Grant who loves nothing more than spending 3 hours in the kitchen concocting some amazing dish that makes my mouth water as soon as I smell it. I must admit, that concept is as foreign to me as enjoying a root canal, but he simply loves cooking up a delicious meal.
When I began contemplating writing a cookbook, it occurred to me that my husband Grant and I couldn't be the only couple in the world that is made up of one cooking lover and one cooking hater (disliker? avoider?). And then, ah ha! That thought sparked an idea. How about if I write a cookbook that is half-written for people who enjoy spending time in the kitchen and half-written for people who wouldn't mind never entering it again. That's how Darn Good Eats: The Cookbook for Creative Chefs (hubby) and Reluctant Cooks (me) came into being.
I figured this way, the cookbook would be perfect for anyone as it contains super-easy recipes and fantastically complicated ones too.
So whether you love to cook or hate it with a passion (but have to do it sometimes, even if it is against your will!) this cookbook has recipes for you!
Regardless of which books you get, I hope you enjoy them and that they make life a bit brighter, happier and fun. Hugs!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2012I brought this book as I had brought Jodi Ambrose's other book - Sex: How to get more of it. Sex: How to Get More of It. The SEX book is aimed at men showing them into the minds of women, whereas Intimacy: How To Get More Of It is aimed at women and having a peek into the men's mind. Jodi, once again, is very funny and straightforward in her writing, making it easy for anyone to read.
Some women may look at the book and think "Bog off! I'm not doing that!" but by reading further, you can see what the author is explaining, and being a man myself, I can see a lot of what she says as being true.
Again, some parts are laugh out loud funny, and sitting in my living room reading this book and suddenly bursting into laughter made my cats jump. There is a list of 20 items, and each of these is expanded on well, to explain what is meant.
If you are a woman ... BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
If you are a man ... BUY THIS BOOK!!!! (for your woman)
and don't forget to buy her other book as well
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 August 2013What can I say this is one of the most Brilliant, informative, enjoyable and entertaining books I have read in a very very long time.
To be honest I was laughing my way through it...
It really did give full meaning to the LOL,
My other half (the real A Smedley) kept looking over at me with that look of... come on it can't be that funny... But it was......... totally hilarious in some places, Jodi has a really descriptive way of putting things... very down to earth...
That's not to say that it wasn't full of lots of fantastic advice... it honestly is full of what is really down to earth common sense when it comes to relationships, the thing is until you read this book you don't actually realise that yes that's where I went wrong in previous relationships....
The scary thing is you may actually realise that everything wasn't all "HIS" fault and that you may have even been to blame for some of the breakdown in the relationship .
Not that any sane woman would ever admit that fact. Well I'm not going to... well not to him anyway lol
If you are boring, straight-laced, prim and proper and have an avid dislike of potty mouth.. then this book really isn't for you.
Not that you would need it anyway as you are probably single and always will be ;)
For every other woman... I would say it is a must have must read!!
You wont be able to put it down.
I feel kinda guilty because this is my other half's account and of course he may worry why Men think why is he reviewing this book.. well to be honest this book is just as much a must read for Men as it is for women......
He will get over it..... ;)

SergioValenteReviewed in the United States on 3 May 20145.0 out of 5 stars Intimacy: This Guy Says She's Absolutely Right
This quick and enjoyable read should be required reading for women - and men. So much pain, anguish and divorce could be avoided by studying it. It is like she is looking inside a man's brain and explaining it to you. Ladies: isn't that better than being angry and confused? Having been married for 40 years, and a student of how people think, she has missed 3 issues that I humbly think could be added: a) Do not try to change him (too much) and if so, do it in loving way (as she ably describes). We are just large boys in bigger and older bodies. We miss obvious things like zipping up or closing the door while using the facilities, or spraying it down so she doesn't have to wait 6 years to use it. b) Do everything you possibly can to resemble physically the woman he married. Yes - I know how hard it is, yada yada. That's a bunch of hooey. Go to Montreal and you will see mature (i.e. older) and stunning women who understand the importance of this to their marriage. Go to British and Europe. How come those mature women manage to stay attractive? It seems in this country, once a woman has had a child, she somehow loses her figure and it is not worth recapturing. Maybe not for her. But the moment your fella stops wanting to bed you, your relationship has taken a wrong turn. As mentioned in the afterword, good sex is a salve for almost any issue you are having with a man. Sorry - we are just boys, and not far removed from the hairy beasts we were 50,000 years ago. AND - if you think for a moment that having sex with your guy is okay once a month - you can be sure he is into porn or some other female. If you don't really like sex, then figure out a way to enjoy it. A friend is divorced from a dunce who bitched and moaned every time his wife wanted to go fishing with her family. She liked fishing! He hated it, and stupidly, let her know. Perhaps if he had found a way to enjoy it, they would still be together. Same thing with sex. c) Every man has a love language, as you do. Google it. My wife smartly knows mine and every time she uses it, I feel closer to her. Let him know what your love language is - so he can properly show how to love you without saying "I love you, blah, blah" all day long. Finally, all those years ago my wife and I were forced to attend weekend "Cana Conferences" with other couples and a priest before we could be married in her church (it was important to her, and I wanted her to be happy). Imagine - a priest telling us how to be married. However! He had one gem I still remember after all these years: Marriage is just plain hard work. We had to work at it every day to keep it strong enough to endure the inevitable challenges. He was so right. Buy and read this book.
The Rebecca ReviewReviewed in the United States on 17 December 20134.0 out of 5 stars Funny but not for the Faint Hearted
By reading this book you have to agree that you really do want your relationship to improve. And it is going to mean changing how you do things.
The male brain does not have to be a dark mysterious place. We women can figure out fairly easily what men want and don't want. With that said this book presents a list of things a woman should not do which will keep her man interested in her. For example she shouldn't forbid her man from having his friends over. Instead she should participate, make food and supply drinks. This will make her man feel proud of her. Now this goes a little farther because you then tell your man that after the war, I mean game you will watch a movie and snuggle. This is called a manipulation tactic which is actually just a fun way to get what you want.
Basically this book is about how to be a more pleasant partner. Along the way there are a few laughs.
I'd recommend this to the woman who has just gotten married. I say this because habits are hard to break and a lot of the tips in this book would be great to follow as soon as you get married.

LizReviewed in the United States on 20 March 20135.0 out of 5 stars Awesome must read!
I've read this lovely lady's blog for quite some time now, and I have to say, she is quite possibly one of the most entertaining women I have ever come across. She is funny, she isn't afraid to make her point, and well, she's more than willing to go above and beyond the call of duty as a good blogger and friend.
But how does that translate into a good book, you ask? Her attitude, her fierceness, and her devotion to helping people out come through in her book just as clearly as they do in her blog and in the interactions I've had with her. The language might be a little much for some people (she's not afraid to use adult words), but that is what I love so much about this book. So many books on how to increase the intimacy in your relationship tiptoe around the naughty words, but Mrs. Ambrose isn't afraid to talk about the things that make most authors cringe, which is what I love about her.
I would highly recommend this book to any of my friends, and anyone reading this review!
Val RReviewed in the United States on 1 August 20133.0 out of 5 stars a great quick read
I'm in the beginning of a long lasting relationship and I look for all I can to continue this feeling. This quick read was entertaining and held a lot of truth. Anyone wondering what they might be doing hinder getting intimacy will get some good pointers.
