Thursday Thirteen - 13 Hotties from my File

I woke up this morning and realized it's Thursday and I forgot to make a list. I couldn't think of anything so I'm simply pulling up some photos from my files that give me inspiration when I'm creating characters. I hope you don't mind my forgetfulness.

1. This yummy fellow looks like my character Chet Keller.



2. This would be the young Duncan McAlister in Fortunate Soul.




3. This has to be the body of Michael McAlister.









4.Erick McAlister can seduce a woman with a whisper.











5.Steve Keller is a man hard to catch, but when you do... lick him all over.










6.




7.Rob Ashton.RIP. I wanted him for the Painted Soul cover.



8.The Painted Soul










9. Puzzola's intense sexiness was the result of watching Queen of the Damn way too much.









10.
This pic makes me want to write something other than contemporary romance.


11. I'm a little tongue tied with this one.











12. Trent was the inspiration for Trevor Dillinger.










13. My muse.


*sigh* There are so many more...
My muse put his wings away and helped decorate for the holiday.

Uhm.... you'll have to excuse me now.

Thursday Thirteen - 13 Romantic Fragrances for Him & Her

Tis the season for gift giving... la, la, la.
After a bit of research I found some yummy scents to add to your gift list. What better than to give the gift of fragrance! It's the gift that keeps giving. Just think... every time he wears that yummy scent, you want to simply rip his clothes off. Or... if you wear that special fragrance, you'll feel sexy and maybe he'll give you unlimited spending on his credit card. Now, if he does that... make sure you pick up some chocolate and whipping cream!

For Him:
1. Sean John I Am King: For the Over-the-Top Guy
Homme is phenomenal as well.

2. Calvin Klein CK One Summer: For Your Summer Fling
I’d count Polo Black by Ralph Lauren perfect for Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome.

3. Love & Luck by Ed Hardy: For the New Beau

4. Only the Brave by Diesel: For the Tough Guy

5. Euphoria for Men by Calvin Klein: For the Best Sex You Ever Had
For an alternative to this one, try Reaction by Kenneth Cole and you will certainly find yourself reacting! Hot, hot, hot!

6. Oceans Water Pure by Nautica: For the Beach Bum

7. Fuel for Men by Donna Karan: For the Metrosexual
Personally, I like a man in Armani Code and a scarf… nothing else.

8. Cartier Roadster: For the Guy Who has a Need for Speed
For Her:

9. Narciso Rodriguez Narciso for Her: the classic fragrance for the sensuous woman.

10. Chanel No.5 Eau Première: the iconic classic that Marilyn Monroe wore in bed.

11. Christian Dior Hypnotic Poison: works on guys like a magical charm!

12. Ralph Lauren Romance: very romantic and perfect for that special woman in your life!

13. J'adore from the Dior line of designer fragrances: a very sophisticated scent perfect for the working woman or mom.

Many of these fragrances run from $40 - $100, but if you're a smart shopper you'll hit the special sales and use coupons. Don't forget about those impostor fragrances too!

What's your favorite scent? What's on your wish list?

Thursday Thirteen - Have a Romantic Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate with our friends and family; to be thankful for all the wonderful aspects of our every day lives. Keep in mind, even in a house crowded with guests; you and your honey can still indulge in a little romantic pleasure.

1. Wear a cute outfit and something sexy underneath. Make sure your honey knows there is a surprise under wraps for him.

2. Wear a spicy or vanilla fragrance. It will work with the food odors instead of against them. We all know how men love their food!

3. Share a glass of wine while doing meal preparation.
I know white is supposed to be served with fowl, but one can bend the rules a bit for a little dose of red wine to spark the romance. After all, red wine is tied into a strong sex drive.

4. Make sure you use celery and fennel. Most Thanksgiving recipes call for these ingredients. Celery contains a male hormone that stimulates female sexual arousal. Fennel boosts the libido and is also alleviate that after dinner bloating.

5. Make some oyster stuffing. Oysters are a natural aphrodisiac. When you eat an oyster, make sure your honey is watching… put on a little performance.

6. Try some innocent flirting across the table and try not to get caught by the other guests. Kind of like a teenager’s game.

7. Don’t forget the sweet potatoes! These are high in potassium, vitamins A & C, as well as iron. Rumor has it that it also increases the female sex drive.

8. Gotta have some pumpkin pie! This olfactory sexual aphrodisiac also contains zinc and increases testosterone production and blood flow by 40%.

9. Make sure you resist that 2nd or 3rd helping. This will prevent that miserable bloating.

10. Go for a nice walk, alone with your honey after dinner. Hold hands, kiss, and talk about what you want to do to each other when you get the moment to be alone.

11. Cuddle on the couch together while watching the game. Cover up with a throw and let your hands wander.

12. Sneak off to the guest bedroom. If that won’t work… slip into the bathroom together.

13. Hide a can of whipping cream in your purse for later.

HAVE A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Tempting Tuesday

I was viciously attached by a rabid bunch of plot bunnies. While editing one book and having a WIP... I came up with some new plots for my next series. Meet the Keller Brothers.

Matt Keller - the eldest. Loved passionately, lost his heart and is now just a hard core playboy in New York... until a woman from his past returns and his world gets a little more than complicated.




Steve Keller - lives a fast live on and off the open-wheel race track in Italy... until a pesky but delicious reporter shows up and some one is trying to kill him. While hiding at his parents farm in Minnesota, Steve begins to wonder which will kill him first... the stalker or the sexual tension between him and the reporter.











Chet Keller - loves living in London... his Minnesota accent and cowboy boots are a hit with the ladies. But when a model is has a secret crush on is attacked and left with horrifying scars on her face, he steps up and becomes her only friend. After the slasher attacks two more models they work together to catch him before it's too late.




Bradley Keller - daring, darkly handsome and sometimes reckless... what he lacks in responsibility he makes up for over confidence on the Super bike circuit. The only road block in his quest for the championship is a pair of secretive twins. When one ends up in the hospital it's down to just the two of them. But there is something very odd and sexy about the other rider.
