This one's a keeper!, Feb 14 2011
By Candy Paull "Candy Paull" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shopping for Mr. Right: How to Choose the Right Guy and Get the Most Out of Him (Paperback)
While I enjoyed his first book, Why Mr. Right Can't Find You, this one offers an even more satisfying perspective on finding (and being) the right person for a long lasting relationship. Instead of coming from a sense of desperation, this book helps women come from a place of power, using shopping as a metaphor for finding the right "fit" in a relationship.With playful seriousness, J.M. Kearns gets women to take a second look at their own strengths and see how they can bring the best of themselves to creating a lasting and loving relationship. Shopping for Mr. Right is not a gimmicky take on love. Kearns says, "Don't let the shopping analogy take you in a shallow direction; don't simply portray your future partner as one very glossy hunk of merchandise. Think of him as a soul that dances better when it dances with you." Poetry as well as practicality. I like it.
To me, the most important message is that a woman's own strengths and preferences are the unique value she brings to the quest and the creation of a great relationship. She doesn't have to come from neediness. She can trust that the perfect someone really is out there looking for her, too.
I loved the heart and the wry wisdom of J.M.Kearn's writing voice. He offers great stories, many of them personal, to make his points. I especially appreciated practical advice on how to read the signals a man is sending, and what's going on behind the behavior. It's already helped me understand and connect with my male friends.
A perfect combination of daring and serendipity can apply to finding true love, if a woman has the right attitude. Kearns helps a woman understand herself as well as offering insight on the male of the species. From debunking dating myths to talking about where to meet and how to know if he's the right man for you, Shopping for Mr. Right is full of helpful information no matter where you are in your search for true love.

now I know how to test him, May 27 2011
By P. A. Goyette "CMreader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shopping for Mr. Right: How to Choose the Right Guy and Get the Most Out of Him (Paperback)
As a single woman in her 30's, the advice that is thrown at me on a daily basis about how to meet Mr. Right can be, in a word, overwhelming. On the days that I am willing to listen to what my dear friends have to say about the how-tos of dating, I am aware of just how ridiculous most of them sound, you know, being married women of 10+ years! Just when I was ready to fend off all advice, I found this book by J.M. Kearns, Shopping for Mr. Right. I have to say, this is a whole different enchilada. Why? Well, here's one thing. To me the trickiest stage of all is after I get interested in a guy but I don't know if I should get serious. Kearns calls it the trial period, and he actually goes into detail about it, which I've never seen in any other book. Best of all he gives me a check list of what me and my new guy should do, kind of like homework assignments but a lot more fun. Having a check list makes it almost fool proof! As a self-proclaimed "Fool for Love" I certainly need something that I can take my pen to and say, there, that one is done, what's next! But that's just one part of the book. I also learn so much more about the dating game. Not only about men, because honestly, I needed a fresh point of view on them, but especially I've learned about me and that my desires for a guy chalk full of testosterone is okay and that I shouldn't necessarily ignore that desire just because he has pretty eyes and listens to me when I speak. Down the line, that lack of testosterone is going to annoy me and his eyes aren't going to be so pretty any more. Kearns explains that for different women, different testo levels will work, same for the size of the male ego, among other parts. In addition to turning dating into a very interesting form of shopping, J. M. makes this self help book for the strong and beautiful single ladies an enjoyable, humorous read that will have you laughing out loud and in the end, walking into the next opportunity with your head held high. I highly recommend Shopping for Mr. Right because if it makes sense to me, it will certainly open up your pretty eyes to YOUR Mr. Right.
