Taylor Gayle advertises in The Town Crier for a male to date, but Max Stuart misprints her ad to indicate she's looking for a "sadomasochistic male to mate" and includes her address. To atone for his mistakes, Max becomes her live-in protector. Now, who's going to protect this high school librarian from the unbelievably sexy newspaper editor? And who's going to save Max from this feisty Plain Jane's charms?
Max finds Taylor in her long skirts and oversized specs as tantalizing as a
package in plain brown wrap with no return address. She thinks he looks
like a CEO but can't handle the simplest task. She thinks he's short on
ambition. He thinks she should relax. She wants a serious man. He wants
a fun-loving woman. They want one another.
Neither are what they seem. But while these two fake their ways into each
other's lives, they find a love that's real.
Excerpt
She liked the warmth and strength of his grip and was awed by the way his broad hand engulfed hers but she refrained from offering her name. A lock of dark hair fell onto his
forehead and she clenched her fingers as they itched to push it back. He picked up paper
and pen, and she turned away deliberately. This was a business visit and she had no
business considering Max Stuart’s qualifications as an escort.
A black tin that she assumed was set on the counter with customers in mind caught her attention. Short and squat, it was decorated with colorful pictures of jellybeans and lollipops. Closing the three foot space between her and the can, her mouth watering, Taylor edged closer, hoping it also contained M&Ms. Chocolate enclosed in those crispy colored shells was the food of goddesses. She paused to read the label on the can. "Suckers. Help Yourself." Oh, well. At four o’clock in the afternoon on the day she swallowed her pride to advertise for a man, any kind of candy would do.
She lifted the lid.

Male Wanted, Ivy Quill
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.

Male Wanted, Kim's 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!"

Male Wanted, Buzzy's Reviews
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.
