dangermousieUnfortuntely, I'd have to say "sorry, I am married." :D
I think I have just stumbled over the most bizarre book ever. It is so bizarre that I MUST check it out. It's written by "Sterling, Cheryl" and I offer as my proof the title: "What Do You Say to a Naked Elf?"

This is the summary:
Apart from her being a TV-and-movie junkie and a saleswoman extraordinaire of adult lotions, potions and playthings, plain Jane Drysdale's life was nothing unusual. That was, until a moment of reckless driving catapulted her into a fairytale world like a J.R.R. Tolkien book on crack. From Walker, Michigan, to a place of wacko wizards, sexually repressed elves and dangerous dwarves, Jane was suddenly fulfilling an epic destiny that held certain death -- and even more certain love. Even the newly legible tattoo on her shoulder seemed to proclaim the rightness of her transport: "Forever joined, heart upon heart, world upon world." Everything started with Jane on trial for her life and her Legolas-lookalike lawyer taking his shirt off, and the first thing she needed to know was -- What Do You Say to a Naked Elf?
Alas, I don't think Legolas in the movie looked old enough to be a lawyer but what a yummy, hilarious thought!

Date: 2005-09-16 09:47 am (UTC)One of my friends found this in Borders recently, intrigued by the title, and then gave it to me. I ended up stuck waiting for a plane and it was the only thing left to read.
It is awful!
It is so bad. I think the author was aiming for funny, but failed badly. funny. Mary-Sue main character, bad cliches, and the most annoying ending I have read for ages. Nearly as bad as the terrible Julia Quinn hysterical epic she lent.
I was so traumatised by reading those two in a row, I started back on gory serial killer thrillers.
I need to stay away from the bad romance fic, it fries my brain.
OTOH, then when I do go back to my nice proper fantasy epics, it makes me appreciate the good writing.
I have just donated both of them to Ofxam. Something good shall come of them yet!
