I just love Lazeez’s random story picker. I first read this one a few years ago, and had forgotten just how much fun it is. You can tell from the Foreword that it’s not going to be (ahem) straightforward. Excuse the pun.
The plot? Bob is a somewhat nerdy architectural draftsman, Chris is a somewhat dizzy (but you should see her fruitcake relatives....) writer. Both share their lives with long-suffering dogs; both are twenty-something virgins who dream of getting together with some human of the opposite sex. Chris is looking for a toad who will turn into her handsome and sexy prince just as soon as she’s fed him some oysters; Bob is currently seeking the woman who dropped a rather ... intriguing ... annotated grocery list in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot.
This story is a masterpiece of underdone humour; abounding in throwaway lines and bizarre situations. As a joint work by two authors, I’m utterly impressed with how well it flows and relates back and forth. Some parts make me just laugh out loud; the small town where everybody knows everybody else’s family is a hilarious backdrop to this classic farce of coincidence and misunderstandings.
In a time of great worldwide uncertainty, you need something bat-shit crazy to take your mind off events. I thoroughly recommend reading or re-reading ‘The Grocery List’ as an antidote to all the doom and gloom.

I know this is an old story, but I saw it wasn't reviewed and thought it needed one.
I read this story shortly after I joined SOL and liked it. When tags were added, I added it as a special, even though I was not sure why.
So the other day I was looking for something to read and decided to re-read it to see why I liked it. I soon found out. IT IS THE FUNNIEST ROMANCE I HAVE EVER READ!
I swear, Lubrican and Stormy Weather both must have been tipsy when they wrote this story, because I don't know how they came up with some of the stuff in it if they weren't.
The hero, Bob (what else would he be named in a Lubrican story), talks to his smart (not in an intelligent way) penis, and has a dog which does not want to do anything he says. The heroine, Chris, talks to her dog, who seems to know exactly what she is saying. Half of the other supporting characters are just weird.
Bob found a grocery list in the supermarket parking lot. But it is not just a normal grocery list, it is a sexy grocery list. He of course sets out to find the owner of the list, who seems to be his dream girl. Chris writes romance novels and is looking for her toad (like the one you can kiss and turn into a prince?).
The situations they get into while finding that they both are what they are each looking for are hilarious. I just had to laugh numerous times each chapter.
Michelle, I have to commend you as the editor also. I was able to find only one error, a by where a my should be.
There is not a lot of sex, only the last couple chapters and they have the normal Lubrican touch. Although what the penis says would up the rating on that a little.
They authors don't say who wrote what. I would guess Lubrican write the male parts & Stormy write the female parts. There just seems to be a different feel to them.
Don't miss this story.
