Each month, the featured realm recommends a book that reminded them in some way of Tolkien’s works. This month, ErynLasgalen26 from the Realm of Nienna would like to recommend the following book:
Title: What Do You Say To A Naked Elf?
Author: Cheryl Sterling
Summary:
Apart from being a TV-and-movie junkie and a saleswoman extraordinaire of adult lotions, potions and playthings, plain Jane Drysdale’s life was nothing unusual. That was, until a moment of reckless driving catapulted her into a fairytale world like a J.R.R. Tolkien book on crack.
From Walker, Michigan, to a place of wacko wizards, sexually repressed elves and dangerous dwarves, Jane was suddenly fulfilling an epic destiny that held certain death – and even more certain love. Even the newly legible tattoo on her shoulder seemed to proclaim the rightness of her transport: “Forever joined, heart upon heart, world upon world.”
Everything started with Jane on trial for her life and her Legolas-look-alike lawyer taking his shirt off, and the first thing she needed to know was…
….What Do You Say To A Naked Elf?
One or two things sprang to mind.
This book is a hilarious read with amazingly lovable characters – main and secondary. The author has a great way of relaying the events unfolding in the book and had me laughing and crying on quite a number of occasions in the one and a half days it took me to finish the book.
I don’t think there is any need to explain why the book reminded me of Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings, as is more than evident in the brief summary above.
I highly recommend this book to any lover of the fantasy, romance and humour genres. Oh, and if you liked it, Cheryl’s working on a follow-up story!
Go ahead, give it a try!
