Jillian Greene thinks all men are pigs. No, wait. She KNOWS they are starting with the first man who she witnesses betraying his wife - her father. Because of the way she feels about men and their lying, cheating, and swinish ways, Jillian's job as bait for `Catch a Mate' is the perfect job for her. She loves nothing more than capturing cheating spouses in the act but lately the clients' tears are starting to wear on her. Jillian figures it is time for her to talk to Anne, `Catch a Mate's' owner, about possibly selling the business to her but before Jillian can get Anne to talk to her, she is called into Anne's office and meets HIM, Marcus Brody.

Marcus Brody and Jillian experience hate at first sight and when Jillian finds out she is paired with Marcus for her night's assignment, she almost explodes. Not only did they insult each other but they realized something else - each has a raging desire to bed the other which at the moment is a fate worse than death.

The harder Marcus and Jillian fight each other, the more their animosity turns to desire until they are unable to contain themselves, much to their mutual horror. Too late to forget how each felt in the other's arms, Marcus and Jillian agree to sex only. They may have agreed on a simple sexual relationship but both will find out that their feelings for each other are anything but simple.

Catch a Mate by Gena Showalter is witty and playful. Underneath Jillian's tough outer exterior is a woman yearning to find the one man who will be hers forever, steadfast and faithful. Marcus, for all of his bluster and blunder desires the same thing - a match trustworthy enough to take a chance on forever. Catch a Mate was about real love and acceptance. I hated for it to end!

Catch A Mate Gena Showalter 9780373772353 Books Reviews

This book started out like a fire blazed up bright and soldered but then went out like a puff of smoke the ending kind of feels like it was just thrown together true but the middle and the characters banter is so interesting and fun to read over all I'd definitely give the book a solid 3 1/2 but on this I'll bump BBC it up to a 4 I still grab wholesalers books to me they are the best romance novels out there just...not this one lol
This is a nice relaxing read. It's not the same calibre as Lords series. I think this was one of her earlier books, so that is understandable. I wish she would write more about the other characters from the book. I'd like to see some of them get their HEA. The only thing hard to swallow is how fast these two fell in love. I know this is a romance book, but less than a week is a little far-fetched. Then again, it is a romance book so what do you expect?
If you like your romantic comedy with vicious verbal battles and wicked word wars between the leads, then look no further than Showalter's Catch a Mate. Jillian and Marcus have both been hurt in the past by unfaithful people and they both work in the slightly shady world of disclosure, where they act as bait to lure the spouses and lovers of suspicious wives, husbands, boyfriends, and girlfriends who think their significant other is cheating on them. While their jobs may be a perfect fit for their jaundiced hearts, it's starting to damage their cooling, bitter souls, but when one self-professed man-hater and one man who thinks all women fall into three nasty categories go head to head the sparks start to fly, the insults sling, and the arousal spikes out of control. When waspish, barbed comments are foreplay and the lines between hate and lust blur, watch out, because much hilarity ensues.

While this is a delightful romp and should by no means be taken seriously, I surely wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who's uncomfortable with or dislikes a lot of smack talking between their romantic leads, because the sweet scenes are few and far between in Catch a Mate. This is a book that isn't for everyone, I don't think, but I had no problem with it at all and I thought it was a riot. Sure it's a bit predictable, and sure BOTH lead characters act like immature and spiteful children at times (Lillian more than Marcus), but it's a brain candy book that's supposed to be brain candy and doesn't aspire to much beyond that. This is chick lit romantic comedy to the nth power and that's something at which Showalter excels. Personally, I would have enjoyed the book a little more if there HADN'T been the threads of serious issues, issues like Jillian's obviously mentally ill mother and the deeply traumatic scars from her childhood. Like her best friend Georgia's borderline-pathological self esteem and love issues. I also would have preferred a slightly more diverse book, a book that included more of the ancillary characters - Marcus' friends/male bait and the women at CAM. And Jake desperately needs his own book. He deserves it.

I will say the one thing about Catch a Mate that did really bother me was a scene at the end where Marcus is called to Jake's place. The ensuing scene was short and abrupt and honestly, had their been more time and attention given to it, I think it would've raised Catch a Mate from a four to a five star read for me, because that moment in a romantic comedy is always the paramount moment. It was a little too quick and abrupt for me to really revel in it. Still, I did very much enjoy this read. Showalter didn't disappoint.
I read another book of Gena Showalter's, so I picked up this one as well. It's one of those books that you don't need to overly think when you're reading it. There aren't too many characters to remember and the plot is easy to follow. That being said, there are also steamy sex scenes. But it isn't all sex. There's a plot that you don't following (some of these types of books have a plot that ends up being boring between the sex scenes). This is one of my ultimate summer reading books.
This book hooks you from the moment you start reading. The characters can be a little over-the-top sometimes, but I think that makes the book even more fun. Comedy is often about the exaggeration of our faults and playing them out for others to get a good laugh. If you like Gena Showalter (and I do) you will like this book. While the plot line is entirely predictable, there are a couple of interesting side stories and an intriguing look into the jaded characters that will keep you rooting for them to fall in love. Sparks fly and light fires that eventually smolder into the more lasting heat of love.
