I needed a job, and he had a special position just for me…Man seeking woman; the job description was vague, but money was all I really needed.On the verge of losing everything, I decided to take a chance and respond to the ad.Turned out the man on the other end of the phone was August Burke, New York City’s hottest bachelor.Tall, muscular, dripping in sex appeal, his voice made your thighs … appeal, his voice made your thighs tremble and your heart race. Most women would kill for one night with this man.
Except, what he wanted from me was way more than any man should ever ask for, and I’m not that desperate.
But, he won’t take no for an answer. He decided he wanted something, and that something was me.
His offer could fix all my problems, it could erase the weight I’m carrying on my shoulders.
Only, I’m not the type of girl who will do anything for money…
Am I?

Until next time… Happy Reading!
Man Seeking Woman isn’t your typical romance. It is about two people on opposite sides of the fence both desperate and fighting to keep their futures. Arrangements are made, contract signed with neither of them realizing that their hearts would be on the line. This sexy, steamy read will make you laugh, have you hanging on every word and ultimately have you falling in love right along side of them.
great read
Will read this author again
I couldn’t finish it. Stupid

I am all for books about arranged relationships so, Man Seeking Woman by Leah Holt is right up my alley. If you love books about arranged relationships, dig in.
First, we meet August in the Prologue and we are not told why he is acting the way he is acting. Then we meet Ella who is just trying to get by living in New York. When Ella’s best friend tells her about an ad in the paper she goes with her gut and answers it. Was it worth it?
While I liked Man Seeking Woman it was fast-paced. I felt like it could have been paced a bit slower so they could have gotten to know one another a bit better. I get that they were on a time crunch but still in some parts it felt forced. I also did not like that there were more mentions and interactions with August’s mother than with Ella’s mother. There were also questions left unanswered when the booked ended that left me wondering if I skipped something.
Overall, it was a quick read and it held my attention. While there were some things I did not like, I enjoyed reading Man Seeking Woman.
This was a really fun and refreshing story. Sexy business man August has it all or so he thought…
He needs to have a child or the business he has worked for all his life wont be his….
Ella is struggling to find work, she has bills stacking up and her landlord wants her out.
Her salvation could from an advert that simply says Man seeking Woman but is she ready to have a child with a stranger even though the money could help her? When August sees Ella he decides she is the one…. but once she gives him what he wants he is keeping her…..there is no way he is letting Ella go.

So we have an opposites attract scenario in this book, as you have guess this was a story of a man place an add for a woman since he needs to do this fairly quickly and now we have our story… It had its funny side and of course steamy side and sometimes they were annoying and the story sometimes just left you wondering but all in all fairly enjoyable.

This is one heck of book. The characters are amazing and the storyline had such a smooth flowing plot with enough chemistry between the couple that could start a Forrest fire. I was entertained from start to finish.

What light fully romantic read that will have you falling in love with this story. What a amazing read that will have you loving this love story.
3.5 stars
most of my like comes from August. He was born and raised rich but he was so down to earth. After meeting his mother, it’s a miracle he was such a great guy. It was mentioned that she was not around much after the divorce from his father. It appeared August was more laid back than Ella. The story was good. The plot was a little rushed. It might have been better if the story was a little longer. Ella went from thinking August was crazy to can’t keep her hands off him overnight. The relationship was sweet and I loved the playfulness between them. They fell in love fast but just didn’t realize it until the end. For a short story, there were a couple of outside things that didn’t fit. Why did we get the half story with Kayla and Justin? The ending was kind of abrupt. We get a quick hint of August’s mom and Kayla. I love that we got to see Ella;s dream come true.

August is a rich man with almost everything he wants in the world. His father’s will stipulates he has to become a father by the age of 35 to inherit. He places an ad in the newspaper seeking a special woman to help him. Ella is a teacher that has lost her job, is about to be evicted and has a pile of bills. She answers the ad and the show is on from there. Will the two be able to work out a deal? How will things work out between the two when feelings get involved?
This book made compulsive reading, the chemistry between Ella and August addictive.

Ella was broke and about to be kicked out of her apartment when she answered August’s advertisement for a woman. In order to keep his inheritance his father’s will stipulated that he had to father a child or loose the lot. Determined to win, August begun searching for the right woman to bear his child. When he first saw Ella he knew he had found that woman. Their attraction to each other was there from the beginning and by the time she was pregnant he knew that he loved her and would tell her when the time was right.This book made compulsive reading, the chemistry between Ella and August addictive. The characters came to life the further into the book I read and have no hesitation in recommending this book.

This book was ok.
I felt it was rushed and sometimes you felt lost with the time lapse.
August and Ella’s is a classic one. The rich man looking for his baby mama.
I would have loved for them to have time to know each other and not being pushed forward so fast.
This was a fun, sexy, fast read by Leah Holt. August and Ella were likable characters and well written. The story, though not particularly original, was well paced and a page turner. Good Read

As my first read from this author, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I fell in love with the characters and thought the storyline flowed well!
This one had everything. You’ll fall in love with the characters; you’ll root for August and Ella to get their HEA.
I will definitely be looking into more titles from this author.

I loved this story. I can’t imagine a wealthy man would find success putting an add in a paper. Seems there would be a lot of unwanted attention because of that, but it was still sweet that August and Ella find each other. They were both really likeable characters and their chemistry was off the charts.
Now, Ella’s friend, Kayla I could have done without. I couldn’t stand her continuous tolerance of her idiot boyfriend. I don’t know anyone who would put up with the things he would say. He had no redeeming qualities. Ella tried to be supportive but Kayla just shrugs and ignores the constant verbal abuse. So ridiculous. That little side drama just frustrated me.
But I looked past all that to focus on Ella and August, who were completely love-able. I loved the premise of the story so I gave it 4 stars!!.
