I laughed so many times I thought I would never get through it. So many scenarios are possible and it had me in tears with laughter. I mean poor Jane.
The sink spit on her? Lmmfao Priceless These are short reads and perfect for when you want to just laugh and enjoy a non stressful book. I can't wait until the next is out. Jan 20, Cat G. So love the start to this series. From the start I was cracking up at our main character Jane. She has to have the most boring life or so she thinks. Honestly she's such a klutz and everytime she turns around, something is happening that is embarrassing and you feel for her but can't help but laugh at the situation she puts herself in.
I feel she's anything but boring, she just needs to put herself out there to meet everyone. So far, the first date wasn't a total failure since he was nice but it So love the start to this series. So far, the first date wasn't a total failure since he was nice but it still didn't go as planned. Then by the end she's found herself in another situation she had no clue about because of her mouth!!
Great quick read that I would recommend to anyone. Great to start and I can't wait to see what all her next dates hold for and the amusing situations she will be put in. I'm finding out that M. Willis can write anything and make it great. Love this side of her!!!!! Jan 31, Hooked On Books rated it it was amazing. I really like this. The writing is great. Jane is a real girl, not a size 0, model type.
She is funny, has low self esteem but has a heart. She just wants every woman wants and she makes a decision to find what she wants. It may not be the normal way but she does it with grace and without grace. She places a very not normal add and her first encounter is with Mark, a Fireman. The evening starts with some less than graceful tumbles, stumbles and lets just say there are no sinks in the bathroom st I really like this. The evening starts with some less than graceful tumbles, stumbles and lets just say there are no sinks in the bathroom stalls.
I am really looking forward to reading more of Jane's experiences, because they are only going to get better with each one. Thank you for writing such an entertaining story!

This book was hilarious! I think it'd make a great sitcom. Poor Jane can't catch a break. I can't wait to read more about her. I'm used to dark reads from this author and this definitely wasn't dark. It just proves how brilliant of a writer she really is.
She can write about anything and it's great!
Jan 19, Crystal Marie rated it it was amazing. Honestly, just read this book. And wear pampers cause you will need them from laughing so hard. If you have severe asthma? Don't read this book unless your inhaler is with you. And don't read it while drinking. Jan 30, Jennifer rated it it was amazing. Laughed so hard First of I was confused Well let me tell you..
I have not laughed so hard in a book in awhile! Anxiously awaiting for Jane's next date! Aug 27, Moriah rated it liked it Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.
To view it, click here. Ask my sleeping husband. This setup worked for me because a the heroine had no body issues. She described herself as big with ample tits and ass, but she was describing herself, not 3. She described herself as big with ample tits and ass, but she was describing herself, not lamenting. It was funny the first four times. It was great in one small package, but this was clearly the first chapter of a serial.
That was in the prologue. To be fair, I never make it to the end of a series with the same heroine because the choices she makes get increasingly stupid, like when the Helping Hands asks Sarah if she wants to go up or down and she says down. I enjoyed this greatly. I have been a fan of M. Willis since I first read her Estate series, then when she started writing as Lily White. Her usual dark and fucked up books have always been some of my favorites, so it was really cool to see a totally different side of her writing.
From blood, gore, and death in her other books to lighthearted, cute, and hilariously funny in this one , Standard Romance Story has left me 5 outrageously funny stars! From blood, gore, and death in her other books to lighthearted, cute, and hilariously funny in this one , Standard Romance Story has left me amazed by M.
Willis' talents… seriously, is there anything this author can't write?!?!?! Fireman Edition is the first story in a series of novellas which follow the character of Jane as she tries to find love in the strangest of ways. We all know how there are the "standard" types of sexy heroes in all romance books… the fireman, the rocker, the billionaire, etc etc.
Well, hang on for a wild ride as Jane dates each of these romance story characters and finds out the hard way that romance isn't always the way we read in these books. This book thrives off the cliche of the sexy fireman that so many of us have fallen in love with in the past and shows that where we may daydream of all the amazing things in these books, when played out in real life things don't always go the way we fantasize.
From Jane's constant clumsiness, to her and Fireman Mark's drunken antics, and the firetruck sex that didn't work out the way we all daydream about… this book is sure to win you over. From page one this book had be laughing my ass off, and it didn't stop until the very end even now, a couple hours later, I am STILL laughing about various scenes. It was silly and quirky and pee your pants from laughing funny, and at times very very awkward what the characters went through- which is part of what made this book so amazing!
I cannot wait for the next story in this crazy series! Jan 21, Miranda Whore rated it really liked it Shelves: Review for Standard Romance Story by M. Willis I have to start this review with a small disclosure.
If you are looking for the typical M. Lily White storyline, you are not going to find it here. She has gone into completely different, yet refreshing, territory. Standard Romance Story takes a regular young woman on her journey to find love. Jane is living a mediocre life. She has a crappy job, a crappy apartment, and absolutely no luck in the area of romance.
Finally ready to try something new she places an ad in the personals looking for romance. I cannot tell you the last book that made me laugh out loud, but this one had me laughing so hard I snorted.
This serial is going to show us a completely different side of Willis and her ability to manipulate words into consuming stories. As for smut factor? Well, this gets FOUR tragically misused panties … just read it … trust me. Jan 23, Jennifer Schultheis rated it it was amazing Shelves: I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.
So, I just finished reading Standard Romance Story: Fireman Edition and I still have tears coming down my face from laughing so hard. Willis is a genius This book is a must read for all romance readers. From the very first page, I knew this book was going to be a keeper. The pages are filled with humor and sarcastic wit. The main character Jane, doesn't have much of a life.
Crappy job at a used bookstore, sm I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review. Crappy job at a used bookstore, small apartment, which she has to share with her best friend, and her dating life is practically non existent This leads to Jane placing an ad in the paper. The ad itself is completely hilarious and makes you wonder if someone has actually done this before.
The characters are extremely amusing yet truthful. Jane knows what she wants and goes out to find it. I don't know how many times I've read a romance book and thought "where can I find a man like this. Jane is definitely a chick who I'd want as a best friend. She's sarcastic, gutsy, and I would definitely take her out drinking all the time. This book is better read in private, otherwise people might complain of you laughing too loud, or in my case, snorting too much.
If you are looking for a well-written story that is enjoyable, refreshing, and will provide you with knee-slapping kind of moments, this is definitely the book for you. Five stars isn't enough, but that's all I can give. Grab this book immediately! Reviewed by Jennifer for MNP. Jan 19, Tbird London rated it it was amazing Shelves: I have so missed M.
Her stories will either haunt you for weeks or rip your heart out due to the overwhelming emotions she creates. With Standard Romance Story, the Fireman Edition, she took a different approach and had me in tears due to laughing so much. Jane is what you could consider the boring, plain……well Jane. She works at a used book store, has a male roommate Rich, who is more like a best friend and she is lonely. Her boss is a jerk and she has a special way with old cust I have so missed M.
Her boss is a jerk and she has a special way with old customers. After cleaning up a mess from a teenage boy in the romance section of the store the first of many laugh out loud moments she decides she is going to find out if real men are anything like fictional boyfriends. She grabs numerous books off the shelf and decides to plot her course in this research. She will read what the women did in each book to capture their men and find a real boyfriend that will give those fictional hotties a run for their money.
The first date was Mark, the handsome, self-proclaimed bad dater, divorced fireman. The books in this series are not long at all but believe me, if they are all like this one, you will be laughing the whole time you are reading.
We now wait to see how Jane fairs with the next category and if she will learn anything useful in her romance book for the lawyer, which will soon to be released. Jan 31, Megan rated it it was amazing Shelves: The title and synopsis of this book completely peaked my curiosity and OMG I was not disappointed. Poor average Jane has been dealt a pretty crappy hand in life…not as bad as some but still. She lost her parents, has a crappy job and even crappier boss, and a bleak outlook on love because she has never experienced a positive side.
The only thing going for her is her best friend who thinks she is absolutely nutty when she comes up with her unorthodox idea of finding love. Her first date with Mark The title and synopsis of this book completely peaked my curiosity and OMG I was not disappointed. Her first date with Mark the fireman was unpredictable from start to end. Mark was a great guy with a great attitude and outlook on everything that happened…but I am not going to spoil it by spilling how the night came to an end.
Short, sweet, funny, and completely enthralling I could not put this book down. Willis book I have read…I know, what the heck have I been waiting for?!?!
You can be that after reading this I will be reading everything I have and one-clicking the rest. Dec 04, Lara rated it it was amazing Shelves: This definitely is anything but your 'Standard' romance story. Get ready for a fun ride with Jane as she discovers the reality behind the fantasy that is every romance Hero.
She's fun, quirky, a little awkward, a lot sassy, and you're everyday woman wondering what the books have that she doesn't. In a brilliant scheme to find out exactly what the books have that her life doesn't, Jane decides to place an ad looking for specific types of BBFs to date, hoping one is the the right one for her. With This definitely is anything but your 'Standard' romance story. With her roommate and best friend, Rich at her side, how much trouble could she possibly get into? I loved this first installment of the SRS serial series.
The fuel gauge needle was headed in the opposite direction, edging toward empty. Gabriela only had twenty-two dollars and sixty-seven cents left in her purse anyway. She would much rather buy herself something to eat instead of putting more gas into the tank and then having her car engine die for good. She had to keep focused on the positive. She tried to smile, but her expression felt more like a grimace as she inched along the road deeper into town.
Tall pines and spruce grew everywhere, lining the streets and covering the hills of Cadillac Falls. Mostly grown out of it, anyway. And where had Cadillac come from? The whole thing was just a bit loco. A truck swung out into the opposite lane and passed her, speeding off down the street. Then another car passed her. Twenty-three miles an hour, buckle up and hold on to your hats. Not like in Philly. My God, what was she doing here?
Ditching her life in the city to escape to a small town like this? She shook her head in disgust. She was the crazy one. It was beautiful, with tall trees, mountains, clean streets, and cute little houses. Some of them were even log cabin-style houses. Her hands tightened on the steering wheel, as if that would help. There were a few houses around, a bank, and a big brick and glass building she recognized as one of the Cadillac Falls Fire Stations.
Station Six was it? She vaguely remembered the name being something of a joke with the locals. Cadillac Falls only had two fire stations. The car made a noise like a dinosaur with the stomach flu, yanking her attention back to the problem at hand. After all, she talked to all kinds of inanimate objects. Things behaved better if you talked to them. Hey, it worked with plants, so it should work with vehicles and everything else. It coughed and shook, then all the dashboard lights came on and the engine died. Steam began billowing from beneath the hood.
She quickly steered to the curb. She misjudged a little and almost bit off her tongue when the tires bumped over the curb and onto the slice of grass in front of the fire station. She slowed to a stop. Then she patted her car on the dashboard. I know you tried, and you did good. She groaned at the stiffness in her body, then looked around as she stretched and tried to work out the aches in her muscles. The fire department station was a large and attractive two-story building nestled in the midst of evergreen trees and copperbush shrubs.
Her eyes widened when she noticed the man coming toward her. The guy was an absolutely gorgeous package of masculinity. He wore dark blue station pants and a matching dark blue T-shirt that bulged in its attempt contain his muscles. His brown hair was cut short, his bright blue eyes locked on hers with a gaze so laser-focused it was likely to set her on fire. Her body responded to him near instantaneously. Her nipples tightened, poking against the fabric of her bra. Her light brown skin flushed warm. Damn, if the man could rev her up with just a look, what could he do when he got his mouth and hands on her?
Her knees went a little weak at the thought. She stood there gaping at him as he finally reached her. Her car was busy hissing out clouds of steam. She half expected steam to be coming out of her ears as she ogled this sexy firefighter. If anything, he was even better-looking up close. His strong, clean-shaven jawline and bright smile caused her heart to skip.
While his voice might have disrupted her thoughts, it also sent a bolt of pure desire shooting through her from brain to groin and back. Heat crept up her neck. God, what was wrong with her? But she already had some suspicions. The main thing being this particular man standing so close to her. Mischief danced in those beautiful blue eyes of his. She swallowed and her throat made a loud click. They had to be the rest of the on-duty fire crew.
Wait a minute… She squinted at him, searching her memory. A chest that she ached to run her hands across… Enough, chica! Get a hold of yourself! But I recognized you right away. Again, what the hell was wrong with her? Was her wolf in season or something? More heat rose up her neck and flushed her face with warmth. His smile had transformed his face into something both cheerful and kind. Thankfully, some of the blunt-force attraction she had for him had lessened enough that she finally started forming coherent thoughts.
If anything it had settled in deeper, but it had lost that distracting edge that had scrambled her brain. Now she might be able to think straight again and maybe even talk like an intelligent person for the first time in the conversation. Luke held his hand out to her. His grip was firm, but not crushing. Now it was her turn to tease. She caught a few appreciative glances, but they were respectful.
But the only man setting her body on fire with his gaze was Luke.
