Woo hoo, ‘tis that time of the week again. Guess the correct title, author and hero’s name (no hero’s name, no banana!) and get yourself a shiny happy Smart Bitch Title!

SWM. My mom was a slutbag ho, my dad was neglectful and kinda abusive, and this means I get to be a great big jerk. So: looking for a sweet, impoverished young thang to accidentally compromise so her scheming mama can force me to marry her (yes, this happened to powerful dukes ALL THE TIME in nineteenth-century England, and don’t let anyone tell you different), then I’ll disappear for a long time, and she’ll have plenty of time to be disillusioned with me, and then I’ll come back hoping to find that beautiful ingenue but instead of the tomboyish urchin, she’s beautiful and sophisticated and getting married to my cousin--what the fuck, yo?

So, I’m thinking, it’s Duchess in Love, by Eloisa James and the hero’s name is Camden William Serrard, the Duke of Girton.
Am I close?
I totally know this one!! It’s Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught.

Yayyyyy! Samantha got it! Congratulations, Samantha. Coronation ceremony to come shortly.
Oh, I knew this one! One of my two favorite McNaughts. I love the “awkward skinny girl grows into stunningly gorgeous woman” plotline!

Damn this scholastic pursuit of mine, getting in the way of my daily dosage of Smart Bitches. :(

Maybe the naked man-flank? That certainly distracts me! It was definitely a skin issue for the buyer, though as so many have reminded me in private emails, anyone willing to buy a book titled Sexy Beast in large, black letters,…
Oops. Just re-read your comment on your site about the book-buyer, Kate. (Can’t imagine what distracted me from taking that in the first time. snort) Huh. Weird.
Anyway, my sister got me “How to Shit in the Woods”…
Just to throw in my 2 cents on the man-flank: Judging by your other covers, Kate, are you sure it was the skin that was the issue? I did notice that your name got un-stacked in the second version, and…
‘The Virgin Black-Footed Ferret’s Secret Baby.’
LMAO! I choked on my diet Coke!
Love that the bff is forever and indelibly associated with the romance novel. Brings a tear to me eye, it does.
I haven’t yet seen anyone making a comparison with this kind of fiction and D/S (domination/submission) relationships. Just because there’s no overt flogging or suchlike doesn’t make it any less kinky.
I have. I said on my own blog: …
