How to Pick Your Fictional Boyfriend


by Samantha Grace

I might as well face it; I’m addicted to love. (Thank you, Robert Palmer, for helping me to see the truth about myself.) It’s true, though. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in love with love. I wasn’t even in school yet when I became glued to the TV watching The Dating Game. And The Newlywed Game? OMG!!! It was my favorite. Later there was The Love Connection and my most recent obsession is The Bachelor/Bachelorette.

Yes, I’ll proudly say I’m a fan of these shows, because ultimately I WANT everyone to have their HEA. I figure finding that perfect person can happen anyplace, so why not a show? It doesn’t mean I think the set-up is magical, but it makes a great story when it works out. I think I might have been a matchmaker in a previous life. How perfect that I became a romance writer, right?

The other things I enjoy are those quizzes you find in magazines. Love quizzes are the best! So, I decided to mash together two of my favorite things—matchmaking & quizzes—for today’s blog. Hence, I present…(drum roll, please)

HOW TO PICK YOUR FICTIONAL BOYFRIEND:

Choose the letter that best fits. Count the number of As, Bs, Cs, and Ds you answered. Then see below to see which Beau Monde Bachelor would make the perfect fictional boyfriend for you!

Your idea of a romantic date includes:
       a. A pleasurable ride in a carriage (wink, wink)
       b. A moonlit stroll in the gardens
       c. A dinner cruise, every night for several weeks
       d. A day of fishing topped off with a picnic and a swim

Your favorite expression of affection is:
a. Your love calling you by a pet name
b. Gifts! Anything sparkly will do
c. A playful swat on the rump
d. Flowers and a sweet note

You would have most in common with a man who:
a. Shows interest in horses
b. Engages in charity work
c. Loves the ocean
d. Enjoys travel

Your ideal man is:
a. Witty, good natured, and quite the lover
b. Loveable and scorching hot
c. A bad boy who likes to be in control
d. An adventurer in all things

Flaw that would bother you the least:
a. History of being a lady’s man
b. Your man being a bit of a klutz, but smooth on the dance floor and other places it counts
c. Overbearing and stubborn
d. Rarely takes things seriously, even when he should

You would most appreciate a man who would:
a. Be good at teasing you out of a bad mood
b. Make efforts to win over your best friend
c. Be nice to your family
d. Accept you for who you are

You would be most likely to fall in love with a man who:
a. Changes his ways because he loves you
b. Has never doubted his love for you
c. Would risk his life to keep you and your family safe
d. Would stand by your side no matter what

If you chose mostly…

A – Lord Andrew Forest, the hero from Miss Hillary Schools a Scoundrel, is your perfect match. He's a disreputable rake with no intentions of settling for one woman, but a good lady with just the right wit and bravery to call him on his bad behavior could be all it takes to make this scoundrel want to reform. 

B – Jake Hillary, the hero from Lady Amelia’s Mess and a Half, is your type of man. He's like the Superman/Clark Kent of regency. He’s the dependable guy you may not have noticed, except for the fact he’s sexy as hell. Kind, honest, and honorable, he’s looking to be some lucky lady’s superhero, and in return, she can save him from a life without love.

C – Daniel Hillary, the hero from Miss Lavigne’s Little White Lie, is the lover boy meant for you. A rakish ship captain with a painful past, he hides behind his sexy smiles and lewd suggestions. But the right lady can unlock his secrets and convince him that he’s worthy of love.

D – Luke Forest, the hero from Lady Vivian Defies a Duke, is the duke for you. He's a man at the top, at least he would be if an accident from his past didn’t make him unsuited to lead his family. His adventurous spirit has been steering him to lands afar. Perhaps all it would take is a lady who understands him to point him back in the right direction. 







If you would like to begin your fictional romance today, leave a comment telling me which bachelor is for you and an email address. I’ll choose a winner to receive a book from the series, reader’s choice. Open internationally. (Lady Vivian Defies a Duke won't be released until May 2013, but I have an advanced reader copy I’d be willing to share.) 

PS – YOUR BACHELOR CHOICE DOESN'T HAVE TO MATCH THE BOOK YOU WOULD LIKE TO WIN! 

Wishing you all a happily-ever-after in real life!

  4. Maria,
    If I had to choose one, I'd have a hard time. Not just from my books. There are so many heroes I end up adoring. The great thing about romance novels is you never have to settle for only one. :)

  21. Luke was first with with Daniel coming in second but after reading about all your books - I'm pretty sure I would like all your heroes :) I must admit I liked your descritption of Jake even though I only had one B. Maybe that shows I don't know what's best for me lol.

  23. KT,
    It wouldn't be much of a hardship to get any of them, would it? Thanks for stopping by and I've added you to the drawing. :)

  26. Hi, April!
    It's always fun to see you pop by on my blog day. I wonder if you'll end up liking Luke as much as Daniel. (You can still love the cover model best. *g*)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Linda,
    Thanks for stopping by and playing! I love Luke so, so much, but I'll step aside since you're well suited for each other. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Woo hoo, Sandy! I think you hit the jackpot. Maybe you can alternate every other day. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Jeannette,
    How awesome is that? He's the perfect fictional man for you all the way around! :)

  30. Victoria,
    I like a girl that know what she wants! :D

  31. Melody,
    I'll pass on the word. Too bad you didn't get Jake. He likes to give jewelry! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  32. Catslady,
    I say, "Why limit yourself?" Have one of each! :D

    ReplyDelete
  33. LOL Sam~ that might be the case, but I like guys who will like me no matter what. Jewelry would just collect dust. I'm not a huge jewelry fan.

    ReplyDelete
  34. My answers varied but I had more d's than anything, so Luke Forest is for me. Although from the descriptions, they all sound great. :D

  35. I'm not very original because Luke Forest is my man,too. Maybe he's just the ideal man! I think you created a winner with him.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Jake Hilary for me. I am going to go back and reread the book now.

  40. Kathy,
    Yay! I'm so glad someone picked Jake. He's near and dear to my heart. He's definitely the one I would have a fictional wedding with. :)
