A funny, satirical, but ultimately affirmative
examination of the Lords of the dating world.
Two writers relate their war stories from the fraught dating scene in this guide.

There’s Lord At-Your-Peril, a culprit who can load on his abuse in any number of ways—and about whom the authors have no-nonsense, completely unambiguous advice: run. “The relationship won’t get better,” they warn. “It can’t because it’s not about you.” … Read the full article here.

Jes and Terresa will win over readers with their fresh frankness and acute observations about the dating scene. And for men who complain they don’t understand women today, “Oh, Lords!” is a good place to start.”

“Where was this book before finding Lord My Guy! What an incredible combination of experience, whit, and truth. Flipping page to page, I felt like I was sitting on the couch having a conversation with my two best friends, relating and laughing with every archetype and experience. This is a must-read for everyone looking to find and remain true within their relationships.“
– Amy Gurske, CEO Sayhii
“Terresa and Jes turn dating on its head. They have figured out men, defining them into categories called Lords and are empowering women to make choices for their Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now.
We have all fallen for the wrong guy, probably blind to the signs there were clearly giving us. Well, no more blindly hoping for Prince Charming, you can now clearly see what kind of Lord you are dealing with after reading this.
It is a must read, brilliantly written and feels like an afternoon with good friends sharing life lessons.”

It is seldom that self-help books are so raw, yet approachable. In comparison to others on the market who condemn women for choices made when they find themselves in love or in hope and no positive outcome. Oh, Lords! Who We Date, Why We Date Them, and What We Learned is showing accountability synonymous with education.
