GuessThatLonelyHeart

I was just in my office going through my keeper shelf, looking for a book to choose, and Hubby came up behind me and said, “Dude, don’t you have enough on your TBR pile or do you have to go looking for a book you’ve already read?”

“No, I have to do the Lonely Heart ad!”

“Oooooh. Have fun then.”

And then he went scurrying out of the room because my keeper shelf? It is a big ol’ thing with the books stacked two-deep. But! I have found an ad! And it is not as easy as last week’s ad. At least, I hope it is not.

So! Give me the hero’s name, author, and title, and you get a fine new title to show off when you make a dinner reservation at your favorite restaurant.

Duchess Cuntington, your table is ready. “

Heh. Pardon me - must dash!

Rescue Us, Please

Isolated, insolent, and downright grumpy Earl seeks innocent, pure, and wholesome maiden to rescue me from my own furious self-loathing, and to corral my four-year-old hellion neice. Your biggest trouble might be her stuffed cat, Fuzzy. For peculiar reasons, you must marry me to serve as her governess, and then remain my prisoner in my mansion, where I’ll stare at you out the window and watch you charm my unruly ward into proper behavior with warmth, love, and compassion, while I behave like a stalker until I figure out how to behave properly myself.

And why is this not *every* Regency ever written--or at least all the ones with governesses?

Except for the title, the niece, and the stuffed Fuzzy, this is Jane Eyre.  I think someone did some ripping off.

And Trudi can’t win!  Her name isn’t Sara(h)!

Sounds an awful lot like Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Edward Rochester is one of my favorite emotionally constipated male characters.

Congrats Shayera!

That´s what I get for trying to guess from something I haven´t read. And for getting named after a character in Like Water to Chocolate…
