From Booklist
Jillian Greene is hired by suspicious women to try to pick up their slime-bucket husbands or boyfriends. In short, she's human bait. Because of her encounters with so many feckless, faithless males, Jillian has turned into a genuine, card-carrying man hater. Marcus Brody is human bait, too, the first male employee of Jillian's agency, Catch a Mate. Unbeknownst to Jillian, he has also purchased Catch a Mate, so now she's his employee. Reluctantly, Jillian begins to fall for the picture-perfect Marcus. Thinking that male monogamy is an oxymoron, she can't help but wonder if any man can be loyal. More important, can she trust Marcus? Each chapter in this wicked novel begins with a different pickup line ("Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?") as the versatile Showalter (Playing with Fire, 2006) once again shows that she can blend humor and poignancy while keeping readers entertained from start to finish.

Night Owl Romance Review 4/5 by Zollyanna
Jillian Greene works for Catch A Mate (CAM) her job is too prove that the opposite sex can't be trusted ever. She never gets physical with the targets as a rule her rule. One day her boss Anne hires a Man to test the fidelity of women, which rubs Jillian the wrong way. What rubs her even more the wrong way is that Anne tells her that he will be her partner that evening for her job, to kind of show him the ropes.

Jillian doesn't need a partner especially a Miva (Man Diva) which is what she thinks he is by the way he is presenting himself. Cocky and self-assured and so insulting, and well too much like her; they were just not going to be able to get along. But what Jillian doesn't know is that Marcus her new partner is actually going to be her new boss he has just bought CAM. He doesn't know what has turned her into such a real man-hater but it turns him on and he intends to fix it.

At the same time same time something about him infuriates her and she loves it but doesn't want him to know it but she intends to go to war with him and try to make him leave. They are definitely from two different worlds and something about each other makes them hot for the other one but they refuse to let on about it until the other one admits it. But they both intend to make the other cave as soon as possible, which makes a few of their co-workers go nuts.

Anne lets them know that she has sold the business to Marcus which further drives Jillian to war with Marcus and vice versa. Marcus sets the girls up with guy partners and Jillian up with himself. Things happen during an assignment, that have them all heated up but they still refuse to admit anything. Jillian and Marcus will soon have everyone they know knowing all to well how they feel about each other even if they don't.

Gena Showalter cooks up a steamy and entertaining story with Catch A Mate. Jillian and Marcus are two characters that I won't soon forget. The characters in the story come to life with such Zing and Zeal! It was hard to put the book down. I will be glad to read anything else she writes especially if it is about those two and their friends.

AWESOME!
Wow! Get ready for a steamy romantic contemp just how I like 'em: pure romance. I loved just about everything about 'Catch A Mate' especially the hero, Marcus. My only gripe was I wish he could have been a bit more English. He was otherwise perfect.

The tension was palpable and had my heart racing with every turn of the page. The love scenes were hot yet believable. These two were tailor-made for each other.

My only problem now is Jake's book is nowhere on the horizon! 'CAM' is a definite keeper for me.
