Even if you don't think of yourself as the "type" who reads romances, you will enjoy this book, and if you are a romance fan, you will fall head over heels for it!

Taylor Gayle is the kind of woman a modern reader can admire: she's entrepreneurial, independent, creative, and no rich relatives to bail her out. She decides to "let it all hang out" and enjoy life. You laugh with her. You cry with her and you embrace the love that she and Max have. Max Stuart comes from, and has his own, money but that's not what he's about. And he's not the typical romance hero who was burned once long ago and--a million or so lovers later--is still determined to never love again. These two come together to forge a relationship that all modern women can appreciate.

Betty Jo Schuler has created two totally realistic characters, an intelligent and spunky heroine and a tall, dark and sexier-than- all-get-out hero. Of course there are obstacles in the path to their shared happiness, and of course you know there will be a happy ending, but Schuler puts the pieces into place with such originality and charm that you will find yourself completely caught up in these people's lives and anxious to know how everything resolves itself.

The dialogue is dead-on, the feelings and emotions the characters express are natural, and the love scenes positively sizzle.

Put some love, laughter and libido in your life -- read Male Wanted!

Betty Jo Schuler has written a brilliant story that is expertly plotted from the beginning to the final page. The pace is fast forward on an emotional roller coaster that culminates in two people finding new truths about themselves.

Taylor and Max are vibrant characters who bounce off the page with their lively dialogue. Both remain true to their character while undergoing major changes.

I loved Male Wanted because it picked me up and carried me rapidly on a wonderful adventure with characters I would like to know. By the end of the book, readers will feel like they actually know Taylor and Max. The satisfying ending comes all too quickly.

This was one of the best books that I've read in a long time. Ms. Schuler creates a story that grips you from the beginning. I was surprised several times in the story line. Never think you have this one figured out! What a refreshing change from the normal humdrum of romance. I hope that Ms Schuler writes a sequel for Sheila Gayle! Everyone who loves a great romance needs to read this one :)

READER REVIEW Vivian N, Columbus, OH

I couldn't read Male Wanted fast enough. I loved it! The chemistry between Taylor and Max is enough to burn down a building, and the secondary characters added life and pizzazz to a story that's already hot! From the cranky landlady and two feisty dogs to Taylor's twin sister and Max's uptight uncles, Male Wanted is populated with the most bewitching (and hair-raising) characters I've met in a long time. Betty Jo Schuler has a definite knack for romantic comedy, and I'll be eagerly watching for more from this author.

Sally Laturi, Ivy Quill Reviews

Male Wanted by Betty Jo Schuler is a refreshing taste of romance and comedy all wrapped in one beautiful gift of love. This is one romantic tale you won't want to miss. Taylor and Max are determined to avoid love at all costs but find themselves irresistibly drawn to one another. Warning! If you begin Male Wanted, you won't be able to put it down. It's a fabulous read!

Kim's Reviews~~Reviewed by Kim Gaona

Taylor Gayle is going for her degree by living a life proving clothes make the man or woman. Fully fitting into the required look involves Taylor finding a man for social functions. Placing a personal ad seems to be her best course of action. Taylor's subsequent trip to The Town Crier leads her to the very handsome Max Stuart. Max, filling in for his sister Penny, doesn't quite have the knack of The Crier but nonetheless is eager to serve. Taylor's look doesn't have to compete with her fraternal twin Dani when it comes to catching Max's attention. Will her ad do the trick or will her priorities change? Male Wanted is humorous, sweet, and full of good fun. You'll like it.

Male Wanted is a cute read.

Leanne Hinkle, Scribes World Review

Taylor Gayle is a serious-minded librarian with aspirations of a professorship. Max Stuart runs a toy company and thinks professors are two-faced old fogies. When the two meet, the result is a clash of personalities with immediate sexual tension.

Taking place in a small Ohio town, Male Wanted lets mistaken identities and typos wreak havoc on hormones. Taylor and Max are meant for each other. They just don't realize it until love hits them over the head. Cupid has his work cut out for him with this pair.

Author Schuler uses her funny bone and unique characters to sweep up the reader in Taylor and Max's romance. Toss in a few S & M lovers, a couple of lovesick dogs, and sisters with matchmaking on their mind and you have a great book to read this winter. Enjoy Male Wanted and be ready to laugh.
