#MadLibMonday - Damaged by Luke Prescott

When I was growing up, I loved Mad Libs. The excitement of sort of writing your own story really appealed to me. So I thought it would be fun to mesh that love with my love of books by turning blurbs into mad libs and letting you guys write your own book blurbs. 

For anyone that doesn't know how Mad Libs work, I will ask you for certain parts of speech or other specific things (i.e.: date, age, color, etc.) which you will write down. After you have completed your list, scroll down below the cover image to find the redacted blurb. Then read through it substituting your words where applicable. Try not to laugh. (Laughing is actually strongly encouraged, because this is supposed to be funny.)

Some brief definitions of the parts of speech.
Noun: Person, place, or thing.
Verb: Describes or indicates action.
Adverb: Modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb expressing manner, place, time, or degree (gently, here, now, very).
Adjective: Names an attribute of a noun (pretty, blue, large)
Pronoun: A word that can function as a noun (I, we, they)
Preposition: a word that combines with a noun or pronoun to form a phrase that usually acts as an adverb, adjective, or noun (on, after, for)

And with that, here we go.

1: Plural noun
2: Noun
3: Verb
4: Adjective
5: Verb
6: Noun
7: Verb
8: Noun
9: Adjective
10: Plural noun


Genre: Romance

I’m damaged. Bad (   1: Plural noun   ). Not good enough for anyone. 

Brett Daniels is a player with a capital manwhore. The idea of being with just one (   2: Noun   ) is something that he’d never (   3: Verb   ). He’s out looking for a (   4: Adjective   ) wingman, since he lost his to a woman. He won’t make the same mistake, hell no. It’s all about sex, having fun. Forgetting. 

I’m damaged. Bad goods. Too much for anyone to (   5: Verb   ) with. 

Eva Chapman is back in the game. She’s had a hell of a (   6: Noun   ) and she’s ready to make the most of it now. Too much has been taken from her. She’s not willing to (   7: Verb   ) up anything else, for anyone. It’s time for (   8: Noun   ), and fun. Anything to help her forget. 

When Brett meets up with his old friend Eva, he knows he’s found his wingman. A (   9: Adjective   ), sexy weapon no one will see coming. Not even him. 

Can two damaged (   10: Plural noun   ) learn to beat as one or is the damage too severe?

Now that your fun is through, here is the real blurb for Damaged by Luke Prescott. 

I’m damaged. Bad goods. Not good enough for anyone. 

Brett Daniels is a player with a capital manwhore. The idea of being with just one woman is something that he’d never entertain. He’s out looking for a new wingman, since he lost his to a woman. He won’t make the same mistake, hell no. It’s all about sex, having fun. Forgetting. 

I’m damaged. Bad goods. Too much for anyone to deal with. 

Eva Chapman is back in the game. She’s had a hell of a year and she’s ready to make the most of it now. Too much has been taken from her. She’s not willing to give up anything else, for anyone. It’s time for sex, and fun. Anything to help her forget. 

When Brett meets up with his old friend Eva, he knows he’s found his wingman. A secret, sexy weapon no one will see coming. Not even him. 

Can two damaged hearts learn to beat as one or is the damage too severe?
