#MadLibMonday - Forever Mine by Mary B. Moore

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: Noun
2: Verb ending in ing
3: Noun
4: Plural noun
5: Verb
6: Verb ending in s
7: Noun
8: Plural noun
9: Plural noun
10: Verb


Genre: Romance
Published: April 1, 2016
Pages: 300

After moving to Piersville to set up her interior design (   1: Noun   ), Maya meets Ren Townsend. 

Ren never expected Maya or the impact that he’d feel from (   2: Verb ending in ing   ) her. Maya never expected to meet a (   3: Noun   ) like Ren. Really when it came down to it, they shouldn’t fit so well together, because how does a playboy become an advocate for (   4: Plural noun   )

Someone has a grudge against Maya's family and is determined to (   5: Verb   ) their business regardless of who gets hurt, and Ren's past refuses to go away. As if that's not enough, someone (   6: Verb ending in s   ) that the Townsends deserve pay back too...and loss of life is an added (   7: Noun   ). Accidents happen, mistakes are made, (   8: Plural noun   ) are broken, but Ren's determination to have a happy ever after with Maya stays strong.

Meet the Townsends, Prices and Montgomerys of Piersville and their (   9: Plural noun   ) in book one of the Providence Series. Who will get hurt next, who will (   10: Verb   ) their happy ever after, and who and why are they doing this?

Now that your fun is through, here is the real blurb for Forever Mine by Mary B. Moore.

After moving to Piersville to set up her interior design business, Maya meets Ren Townsend. 

Ren never expected Maya or the impact that he’d feel from meeting her. Maya never expected to meet a man like Ren. Really when it came down to it, they shouldn’t fit so well together, because how does a playboy become an advocate for relationships? 

Someone has a grudge against Maya's family and is determined to sabotage their business regardless of who gets hurt, and Ren's past refuses to go away. As if that's not enough, someone decides that the Townsends deserve pay back too...and loss of life is an added bonus. Accidents happen, mistakes are made, hearts are broken, but Ren's determination to have a happy ever after with Maya stays strong.

Meet the Townsends, Prices and Montgomerys of Piersville and their friends in book one of the Providence Series. Who will get hurt next, who will find their happy ever after, and who and why are they doing this?
