Another Friday, another Personal ad! As always: guess the name of the character (it’s a hero this time), the name of the novel and the author, and win yourself an “exclusive” and “hand-made” aristocratic “title.” Go on, “take” a “guess.”
SWM, Ivy League graduate, served in Cuba under the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, own small country medical practice. Have a soft spot for dogs. Looking for quiet, gentle, animal-loving girl for sweet, sweet lovin’, maybe more.

Sweet Everlasting by Patricia Gaffney.
Da-yum. We have a winnah! Is that a new record?
17 minutes? That is indeed dang fast!!
I couldn’t even tell if this was a contemporary or a historical. Clearly I need to either read more or be prepared to steal the award from Senetra. Maybe I’ll wait until Wendy wins it and steal hers.
How about if I tell you whihc books I’ve read and you agree to come up with the personal ad using only that information?
Heh heh. Well, the “served in Cuba” thing limits things severely--how many times has the US sent the cavalry to Cuba? I also chose to be tricky and referred to the Rough Riders by their official name; I was hoping to make it a bit harder to guess. And Senetra still came up with the correct answer at lightning-speed. I need to be trickier.
Anyway, the next personal ad I write, HelenKay, will be for a contemporary. Probably. Maybe. MWAHAHAHA.
Yeah, well, you’d think the Cuba reference would have helped but I had no damn clue what this was. Never read Gaffney either. This contest clearly is fixed - it’s against people who aren’t very bright. I’ll never win.
HelenKay, you are plenty smart.
But this site sure ain’t “Dumb Bitches What Read About Nookie.”
‘But this site sure ain’t “Dumb Bitches What Read About Nookie.”’
*chestfallen* It’s not? I’d better drag my sorry bum out of here then.
P.S. Congrats to Senetra! :)
Maili, if you’re a specimen of Homo dumbus bitchinus, I’d hate to think what category other people would fall into, people like, say, Nicole Richie, or even people who bring a loaded shopping cart to the 10-item limit express lane at the supermarket.
...or the people who throw lit cigarette butts out of car windows onto the pavement so that other cars, running on gasoline, which last I checked was flammable, could run over the sparks.
...or people who get in the EZPass lane who don’t have EZPass and then just sit there wondering what to do with themselves.
...or Paris Hilton.
AND, considering that I did some ponormous dumb things tonight AND I have Emma Kellys in the mail to me, this site might be, as long as I’m on it, “dumb bitches who read about nookie.”
Sarah, I’m snickering like a little bitch right now, because d’you mean Emma HOLLY?
It just fit in with the whole “dumbass ho” theme we got goin’ on.
Thanks, everyone! I’m chalking this win up to dumb luck because I read the book but couldn’t tell you the plot, characters or even when it took place. I think seeing the Gaffney book off to the side rang a bell for me.
Congrats, Senetra!
Is there any chance you’ll post these want ads in the evening? My daytime net opportunities are limited because of work.
Of course, I haven’t known the answers to the last few questions, the time of day wouldn’t have helped. But still . . .

I’v always liked EJ! Haven’t read this one yet, but if its the first of her books you’ve read I would recommend trying another. Especially her Essex Sisters series. One of the things I love about her writing is her…

Hilarious! Makes me want to check out his books. Dad reads that genre I’ll have to see if he’s read it what he thought. Jen :)
Brilliant, Eve. Both winners were great!
Congrats!
does this make you all “man titty whisperers” now? lol
Isn’t there a some saying about bad press being much better than no press at all? I must say, Meltzer has a unique talent for turning brad press on its head. . . and for marketing in general. Getting Joss…
