M.J. Webb (mjwebb) | 68 comments Hi,
Saw this on another site and thought it was fun. You have four words only to write a decent love story. It's harder than you think.

To kick things off, here is my effort;

Her heart. His world.

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) | 687 comments Personally, I’d prefer “His heart. Her world,” but I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

M.J. Webb (mjwebb) | 68 comments Ha, ha..... All very good.

How about, 'True love never dies?'

A tormented heart soothed.

In fact, The tormented heart soothed, might be better. More epic!

That's the one with the happy ending, unlike: The tender heart devoured.

Or how about a dodgy Bridgerton bonk-fest: 'Corsets rip. Pulses race.'

Charlotte Bronte could have cut to the chase in four words: 'Reader, I married him' - but it wouldn't have been so entertaining without the mad woman in the attic et al...

Sorry, I will stop now!

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 846 comments Yup! It's hard to beat Charlotte Bronte but there's some very good tries in this thread.

On the bus, another springs to mind: 'A stubborn heart subdued'. (Once you start, you can't stop!)

I fear my corsets are ripping through laughter at this one. Very good. And so true. Though the romantic in me prefers 'The tormented heart soothed.' This could start a trend for efficient book blurbs?

Lee Child - Big bloke fights. Triumphs.
Conn Iggulden - Word animated past events.
Stieg Larson - Inked lady kicks ass.
John Gwynne - Wolf steals the show.


lol

Ha ha. I particularly like: Inked lady kicks ass!

Reminds me of that thing that was going around - literal outlines of plots. For example: 'nephew returns jewellery to manufacturer' (Lord of the Rings).

That is class. So simple but so funny.
