#MadLibMonday - To Serve is Divine by R.E. Hargrave

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

Catherine O’Chancey is a reserved, (   1: Adjective   ), and graceful submissive. All traits she trained hard to enhance when she discovered the world of Dominance and submission in college. In an attempt to start fresh after the unexpected death of her last Dom, Catherine moves to (   2: City   ), TX to escape the shroud of darkness he left behind in her (   3: Noun   ). She has tried to fight the need that resides deep within her to submit, but finally has to (   4: Verb   ) she can’t for it is not a choice, but part of who she truly is. After months of mental preparation, she ventures back into the lifestyle by attending a coveted open-night event at Dungeons and Dreams, an exclusive BDSM club.

Is it fate or coincidence that Catherine garners the attention of one of the club’s board (   5: Plural noun   ) who happens to be on the hunt for the perfect sub – a partner who enjoys receiving pain and pleasure as much as he enjoys doling it out?

Jayden Masterson is many things: a (   6: Adjective   ) Dom, a shrewd businessman, and a gentleman. What he isn’t, is someone who partakes in relationships outside of contractual ones with his multiple, un-collared, regular submissives. While he likes (   7: Adjective   ) sex, he is not an animal, and can find pleasure only if it is consensual. What his harem is missing is a pain (   8: Noun   ); could there be one in his future?

Upon meeting Catherine, Jayden feels an instantaneous spark inside him that has him (   9: Verb ending in ing   ) to know not just her body, but her mind. He wants to unravel her mysteries and discover her secrets. Through pain can they find the pleasure they seek? Can part-time pain (   10: Plural noun   ) find full-time fulfillment when it’s not in their contract?
