She's Cute, But She Needs the Right Man to Save Her (a comedy)

You laugh, but sell it as a movie rather than as a book, and Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaghey (I'm not even bothering to Google the correct spelling) will be contractually obligated to appear in it.

Hell, substitute the words "a comedy" with "a supernatural romance," and you've got the next Twilight.

It already is a movie; "Heroine needs mansplainin' to discover confidence or talent" has been used way, way, waaaaaaaaay too often already. (I was thinking of the Solomon's Law books, esp. the first one, but it equally fits Becoming Jane, Twilight, and on and on ad nauseum. Emphasis on nauseum.)

What's sad is I can think of several possible RL titles to go with more than one of these summary titles, and I really doubt that any of them are the books *you're* thinking of.

Sex Sells, Plot Doesn't: Suck It Up and Stop Looking for Logic Cos You're Only Gonna Get Lube

That one should be an icon . . . XD

I feel like it should be mashed up with one of those romance covers Smart Bitches Trashy Books seems to have no trouble finding...

I think those covers would be too classy.

Let's just say I was inspired by someone with the initials AB, and it ain't Alton Brown...

Actually, I'd quite like it if they titled books like that. Much easier to pick out titles to avoid that way!

True, that.
