Makes sense, I suppose. I can't say much one way or the other, since I'm not your typical female, and my opinion on the matter would only be speaking for myself, not the general breasted populace.
However, from just the review of the sequel book you linked to, I can already tell it's got some bullshit. Every woman's core desires are to be romanced, to play a role in her own adventures, and to display beauty? I can think of plenty of women whose core desires are very much not this. Besides, it's not very good to state that this is every woman's desire. The majority, perhaps, not not 100%.
Unfortunately, a book written by a man (and yes, a woman too, but still there's a male bent to some of it) who is part of a male-centered religion isn't the first people I'd go to for advice on how women are or were supposed to be.
Again, still, these things claimed in his books may apply for the majority, but anyone who says they can tell you the core parts of every woman needs re-evaluating, I think.
