You know the deal: give me the hero’s name for this one, plus the author and the title of the book, and you get a Smart Bitch Title™ for your very own, with inclusion in the Smart Bitch Peerage.

Tall, hot, and handsome man bent on embracing gender stereotypes about jocks and businessmen seeks caring, cautious, and courageous woman to help me grow up, stop looking at superficiality, and learn to get juuuust a bit over myself. Must love football, travel, cabins, camping, and overgrown children disguised as professional sports players. In return, I promise, we could… go… all… the… way.
Oh, gods, which SEP?
Um, okay. Kevin Tucker in Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ This Heart of Mine.
How many times do I get to guess?
Ye gods, I KNOW this one!
::shock::
But...already gots me a title.
I think you got it.
Sorry, Sarah. Close but not quite.
Okay, there’s Cal Bonner in Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Nobody’s Baby But Mine?
Nope. Please try again!
Heath Champion in Susan Elizabeth Phillips “Match Me If You Can.”
No, dammit. Heath Champion in Match Me If You Can. Also Susan Elizabeth Phillips, of course.
Fuck! I hate you, Elaine! Ten seconds because I didn’t remember how to spell his name! I remembered the Harley Davidson part! Does that count for anything.
Next time. ::sobs into keyboard::
Not really, Elaine. But, damn, I want a title soooo bad.
OOOH NOOOOES. Poor Sarah - Elaine got it by only a few seconds!
::sob:: And I was so excited.
Oh noes indeed!
Sorry Sarah, she says trying not to sound smug. (I had to look up his name on SEP’s website.)
Well, I did too, but then I left out the “h” in “Champion” and had to go back and correct it. ::sigh:: I’ll just have to try again next time. But, lord, I actually KNEW this one!!!
This is the first one of these that I have known . . . too bad I’m two hours late! =)
um, or just a few minutes late.
Dean Robillard in Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Natural Born Charmer!
Is it right? Is it right?
dang...I was so excited about possibly knowing the answer that I didn’t read all of the responses carefully....So close and yet so far.
My word is after15
It kills me that we all knew it had to be SEP immediately, and had trouble telling one book from another.
It’s football. Of course it’s SEP.
Get this jonquil - I knew it was SEP and I’ve never even read one of her books!
Argh. You bitches seriously need to do some paranormal ones. I don’t know nuthin from contemporary!
Congrats to the newly titled Bitch!
I’d have guessed Bobby Tom Denton from SEP’s crapfest Heaven, Texas, myself. But I try not to read her.
GODDAMN STUPID BLOGLINES! One of these days I’m going to learn to check this site on my own. This is the second LH that I’ve actually known and I’m...centuries too late.
Bummer.
A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it. To find out more, read all about us or check out our minty-fresh and funkadelic FAQ section.
OTOH, I can’t tell whether she’d deliberately trying to make Beaufort Books look skanky with the OJ Simpson reference, or whether the circumstances under which the book was eventually published are well enough known that she wouldn’t need to clarify.…

RfP, I agree that it doesn’t sound to me like she’s saying ‘all romances are mediocre’, she’s saying ‘this book is mediocre’. She even talks about a dynamic where a woman needs to be put in their places by a…

I can’t believe I’m thinking of finding this. I read this when I was in junior high and loved it. I have a big place in my heart for the secret baby.
It’s not what he’s grasping that has me wondering; it’s what’s the matter with his hand. Is he the victim of medical experiments that grafted two hands into one, with a special deformity of his index finger? Oh, the poor,…
This sounds like she knows there’s a difference between bodice ripper and romance.
a second-rate bodice ripper or, rather, a second-rate bodice ripper-style romance (it doesn’t really have sex scenes)
She does qualify that it’s a second-rate one. It’s not…
