It's that time of year....

. . . when we all wish we were in Acapulco.

Not sure if that's where this guy is, but at least it looks warm. I want to be there so very, very badly. . . .

One nice thing about snow is that my horses look really clean. Just wait until all of this crap melts and we're in mud up to our eyeballs. We'll be wishing for snow again, or at least a good, hard freeze.

I signed up for the RWA Nationals in Nashville a few days ago, which will take place in late July. *sigh* Sounds really hot, doesn't it?

Ah, well. Spring will arrive in just thirty more days.

And counting. . . .

In other news, a great big THANK YOU is in order for Ms Moonlight, who has once again graciously volunteered to redesign my banner. It's fabulous!!!

Next on the agenda is this Book Boyfriend Fantasy thing that Sweet Vernal Zephyr has tagged me on, so I guess I'll run down my list.

The Gutter Gals started this commotion...

"We all have our favorite book boyfriends and now you have the chance to create one just for yourself and your fantasies! How do you play?

• Fill out the quiz below
• Post a picture of sexy man
• Tag five other book addicts to do the same.

Don't forget to pop to their blogs as let them know they have been tagged! Once tagged... you have do do the same, grab the button, answer the questions, and keep it rolling! But don't forget the picture of the sexy man! It doesn't have to match your fantasy man, just a little eye candy for the rest of us... heheheee!" ~ The Gutter Girls

Okay, then. . . Here goes. . . . Along with pictures of the two men I find it very hard to choose between. . . .

Hair Color & Style

• Any color as long as his head isn't shaved.
• Preferably a lot longer than mine and curly.

Eye Color & Facial Features

• Eyes can be any color as long as they're kind
  
• Dimples would be a plus
• A killer smile
• Nice teeth
• A nice, big nose (we all know what that can indicate...)
  

Height & Body Type

• Any height will do. Tall is nice, but I like the cute little guys, too.
  
• Muscles clearly defined, but not so big that they're grotesque (Raphael is purrrfect!)
  

Visible Age

• Late 20's to early 40's--which still makes me a cougar!

Bangability ie. kinky/bi/size

• Kinky is good!
• Not sure about the bisexual thing unless I approve of his boyfriend. However, these two together would be perfect!
  
• Size: Big enough that I can feel it, but not so big that I'll need reconstructive surgery afterward.
  

Human or Other

• Depends on the nature of the "other." Some of those "others" can be pretty creepy!
• But if he's a Zetithian, it's a definite YES!!!!
  

Paranormal Skills

• Doesn't need them.

Interests

• Loves making love all day and into the night
• Loves music
  
• Loves to laugh
• Loves children
  
• Loves animals of all kinds
• Loves me!

Special Skills

• Knows his way around a kitchen
• Can take care of me when I'm sick
  
• Can fix anything that can break
• Will clean the house without grumbling
  
• Can drive any kind of vehicle
  
• Has a good sense of humor
• Makes me feel loved

And that's it!

I guess I'll tag Marie, Kendra, MsM, and Helen Hardt on this one.

Any other suggestions?

Volunteers?????

And also, because he's hot, sexy, cute as a bug's ear, and we all love him so, heeeerrrreee's Benji!

PS: Do be sure to click on the guys. They all get bigger, except Raphael. . . *sob*

Happy Anniversary!

Today is the first anniversary of this blog. So, for that reason, I think we need several hunks, don't you?

Some oldies but goodies!

Thank you to all who have supported the blog this past year. I think we can all say we've had fun!

TGIF!!!!

It's Friday, so here's a nice, brooding Raphael to get your weekend off to a great start.

I know what you're thinking. He's got clothes on, but look closely at those pants. They're made of leather.

Puts things in a whole different perspective, doesn't it?

And I know you can't see them very well in this picture, but the baby blue sweatshirt matches his eyes. The shadows add even more to his seductive power.

No, this is no casual snapshot, but a carefully constructed trigger to set off explosions in your imagination. The look in his eye and the position of his hand are telling you that he could just as easily have posed for this one in the nude and the impact would have been the same.

Interesting, isn't it?

Sunday's Tattooed Hunk!

No, I haven't forgotten Raphael. He's still my favorite, even after Derrick and Justin and all the rest.




















And of course we all still love Benji. . . .



























But then, there is Marco Dapper. OMG!!!!!



























As always, I'm blogging on Wickedly Romantic today. There's another tattooed hunk there for your enjoyment, so come on over!

Ready for a break!

I'm writing this on Sunday. At least I think that's what day it is. I'm trying to get posts up to last while I'm at work later this week and then while I'm at the lake next week. I think I've got it all covered, but there's bound to be a glitch or two.

I'm really looking forward to my time at the lake with the girls. Hopefully, we'll have a boat that works so we can actually go out on the water. There's nothing quite as relaxing as drifting on a float in a cove at Dale Hollow Lake. Until another boat comes cruising through, of course. My friends make fun of me because I always float with an umbrella to keep from getting too hot or sunburned. I don't tan very easily--mostly I burn, so I rarely go out without liberal amounts of sunscreen. Nothing will spoil a vacation quicker than a sunburn!

Over the years I've put going to the lake into a couple of my (unpublished) books, and there's a reason for that. All women need to go on a vacation now and then with other women--preferably with friends, rather than relatives. No kids, no husbands, no boyfriends. Just the girls. Trust me, it's the only time you can truly relax.

Of course, if Rafael were to show up, we probably wouldn't make him leave. . . .

Sunday's Hunk of the Day!

I just wanted to let you ladies know how much I appreciated your support on the various sites I've been a guest on this past week, so I'm taking this opportunity to say:

THANK YOU!!!!

I've got a guest blog or an interview posted every day this coming week, and I leave for Myrtle Beach on Wednesday night! I sure hope the Internet works in that hotel room or I'm gonna have to hunt me up a good WiFi cafe!

*takes deep breath*

I think I need a little pick-me-up. This one of Rafael is courtesy of Professor Penis.

Thanks, Sharon! I needed that!

Also, I'm collecting photos of readers with their copy of Outcast for the launch party on Casablanca Authors on June 1. Send them to me at cheryl.brooks52@yahoo.com and I'll post them!

PS: I'm also blogging on Wickedly Romantic today. Come on over!

Outcast revisited!

Well, we've nearly made it through the week. Today there's another interview posted on This Book for Free! Help me celebrate!





















Benji will be back tomorrow, I promise! In the meantime, indulge me. It's been a busy week!


























Oh, and Donna, here's the gold. . . .

Outcast marches on!

Another interview on The Book Faery Reviews! I'd love to have you visit!























*sigh* He even looks good with clothes on!

Outcast again!

It looks like this is turning into Rafael week on the ol' erotic blogspot.

Why are we here, again? I forget. . .
Oh, yeah. That book I wrote. Must do something to promote it. . .

Must sell lots of books and become famous enough to request him on the cover of the book I'm going to write with him as the hero. If I can keep my wits about me enough to do it.
OMG, his eyes are so blue. . . .



The blog tour marches on!

Today it's a guest blog on Crave More Romance! Come on over!

Outcast!

I'll be interviewed on The Book Girl today. I have to work tonight, but I'll be checking in from time to time. Looks like this is gonna be one helluva week!

If any of you have the time, I'd love to see some pictures of you with your T-shirts and your copy of Outcast, or a picture of Outcast on a bookstore shelf. I'll use them for my Launch Day blog on Casablanca!














Sharon, thank you so much for discovering just who my favorite hunk is! Ladies, meet Rafael Verga, from Brazil. Enjoy the terrific pics.























But I'm saving the nude one for later!
