I'm looking for a romance book but I may have two plots mixed up.

A woman is working on her dissertation or thesis and posts a Men Wanted for Sex ad online. She scours through a bunch of responses and narrows her pool to 8 Dates.

That's about all I can remember.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Is this a recent book? Do you remember about how long ago you read it?

Wanted: Sex Partner for Short-Term Monogamous Relationship by Marla Vendret?

[Goge (BARRONS) le Moning Maniac,]

Was she working? There's a book with a similar concept except she picks her boss as her subject/experiment/whatnot.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions! I actually found it by accident.

The Barter System by Shayne McClendon

4.33 average rating (pretty impressive)

Some people will go to great lengths to get their research.

Riya O’Connell is working on her dissertation in Male Sexuality and decides to create a website called "The Barter System" where she requests applications from men around the country willing to participate in her research. She eventually narrows down her thousands of submissions to eight men.

They will give her viable data, cover her expenses while in their company, and ensure she reaches her next destination safely. In return, Riya will give them…whatever they want.

As her project progresses, Riya realizes she’s chosen the eight men in the country who would love her well and that she could easily love in return. Subject after subject is left behind with a small piece of her heart. Driven by her need to understand male sexuality, she refuses to quit no matter how difficult it becomes to keep going. Her presence creates a ripple effect over the lives of her subjects and paths cross that might not have been possible without her.

Finding where her heart ultimately belongs may be an education she didn’t plan on.

Well, congrats PJ. Glad that you found it, even if only by accident. (Sometimes that's the best way.) :o)
