MANCANDY MONDAY! The place where the hot guys go!

Posted on September 23, 2013September 22, 2013 by Z. Elizabeth

Every Monday, Blame It On The Book Lovers will be discussing their favourite book boyfriend of that week in a meme called MANCANDY MONDAY!

We all love book boyfriends, so Man Candy Monday is all about sharing the love…and the hot guys around by letting everyone know the book boyfriend you have been swooning over this last week, and why!

Once you’ve posted your mancandy on your own blog, come back and post the link. We all want to know WHO your mancandy is this week and swoon right along with you.

This week The Book Lovers is featuring Woods Kerrington from Twisted/Simple Perfection by Abbi Glines

Lucas Bernardini is my Woods

If I’m being honest, Woods is definitely in my Top three book boyfriends. We meet him in Fallen Too Far and I wasnt really a fan. I wanted Blaire and Rush together but then in Never Too Far, holy jesus, i completely fell in love with him. From his caring nature to always being there for Blaire when Rush was being a douchebag to her and he always made sure she was okay. He was the perfect friend to her and I really wanted someone for him.

So when Twisted Perfection came out, and we got to know a hell of a lot more about Woods, well i fell deeper for him. His family life is so ‘twisted’, he’s never known love as his family dont exactly love, he wants freedom, the freedom to break away, be himself, experience everything but there’s a small problem and its to do with his family – he truly is a puppet to them. But when Della whizzes into his life, she turns it upside down, makes him see past the county club, makes him evaluate his life and what he really wants, and he wants Della and to be free, just like her.

It really is a big decision because really, this is all he knows, working hard to be the owner of the club, but when Della strolls into his life, she switches everything upside down and makes him really think about what he wants.

Woods is still the caring, most amazing guy we see in all the Too Far books and his love for Della is so strong that he doesnt want to be without her. Della has night terrors and when Woods finds out about them, thats it, he will do whatever to help her through them and the pain in her life and you can truly see the love he has for her. How when it comes down to it, he will choose Della over everything!

So that is why Woods is my Mancandy this week – and the fact that he is a god awesome dirty talker. HOLY crap, like get in my bed Woods!

This week The Book Lovers is featuring Richard ‘Rusty’ Thorne from Seven Sexy Sins by Serenity Woods

Stefano Masciolini is my Rusty

So it was really damn hard to find a ginger guy – where are they? – but i think this guy represents Rusty in my opinion.

Rusty Thorne is one hell of a brilliant character, hence why he is my mancandy this week. He’s got curly, rusty hair, hence the nickname and green eyes. He’s a history teacher and he absolutely loves his friends. Especially Faith. Only problem is nothing can happen with Faith as her brother Dan, is one of his best friends. But Faith has been commissioned to write a series of magazine articles on spicing up your love life. She’s got the theme—the “Seven Sexy Sins”—but there’s one major problem. She hasn’t experienced any of them.

This is where the sexy Rusty offers up his services but Faith needs him to sign a contract – they have sex seven times in part with with sins and Dan cant find out about this arrangement. So his new alias on the blog is Beau.

Rusty will steal your heart but he has insecurities. The men in his family are less than men and for that, he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t want a serious relationship in fear of turning out like his relatives and hurting the ones he loves. So it’s easier for him to just jump from one girl to the next. Not getting attached to them.

Then he volunteered to help Faith out and that is when everything inside him started to change. Never one for love, his feelings over the weeks, after the intensity of their sins and the sex really took a hold on him. It had him questioning everything about love. He was nervous and unsure whether he had made the right decision in helping Faith out, but when she said something so filthy to him, all that zoomed out of his head and all he could see was this gorgeous woman in front of him.

Over time, you could definitely see the emotions changing for both of them from lust to love. The romance didn’t come easy for them, because they know all about their pasts and doubted themselves about what they were doing yet you could really see just how attracted to each other they were and in time, they did become comfortable in doing the sins and being around each other in a sexual situation.

Rusty is definitely book boyfriend material and for that, he is MINE for this week. You literally cannot read this book without him stealing a piece of your heart and wanting him to help you with all these scenes…maybe not with the mars bar though 😉 hahahha….okay, maybe with the mars bar…

This week The Book Lovers is featuring Ben Chambers from The Art of Letting Go – Anna Bloom

Sean O’Pry is my Ben Chambers

So The Art Of letting Go is out on September 25th 2013 and because Anna is blooming (see what i did there) amazing and she is a lover of my blog and a good friend, she sent me a copy of her debut novel 2 months before release. I, apart from her editor and herself, are the only people who have read it – how lucky am i?

Anyways this week my mancandy is Ben Chambers. Black hair, cornflower blue eyes, freckles, smoker, guitarist, singer, cook. The list could go on. You all will fall for this guy. He is the most amazing character and says the most amazing things to Lilah. Well, he has been searching for her for 9 months!

He’s sweet and caring and lovely (if not a little shy with attention) and there are things that you will just swoon over, and make your ovaries explode. You will cry over him, laugh over the things he says, love the banter and sarcasm between him and Lilah. You will want him to dedicate songs to you, take you up against trees and in ally-ways ;). He really is the perfect guy and he will steal your heart away.

You will have to read The Art Of Letting Go when it is out because it is refreshing, and so different to all the books I’ve read. It’s a 5 star from me and i will most definitely be rereading this book again and again.

There are so many things i want to spoil for you, but i wont. You will just have to see just how much i love Ben when the book is out. Like seriously, you will just want to marry this guy. I have dibs in him though. He loves Lilah so much that he would never want to let her go. What happens in the book – well he will take whatever time he can to be/spend with Lilah and it just makes you appreciate just how brilliant this character is and how much you wish he was real.

I literally cannot wait until you read this book. EEEEEEEEEEE!!

This week The Book Lovers is featuring Griffin from the Thoughtless series by S.C Stephens.

Yes, Griffin is Chris Hemsworth but its pretty damn hard to imagine him as anyone else when you follow Griffin on twitter. Plus I spent ages trying to find someone else suitable but that didnt happen hahah.

The very first time Griffin appeared i was just floored. I loved him in that instance. He’s just one massive dirty mouthed man whore and he really is so freaky funny. I couldnt stop pissing myself over his comment to Kiera and making her uncomfortable. Pure brillance from him part.

He walks around like he owns the place, like every girl should be begging to have a piece of him and have a ride on his Hulk. He’s a cocky son of a bitch and the more he appeared and made Keira uncomfortable and the more he was dirty mouthed, the more i was just falling for this bassist.

But despite all this, you really do see him grow. Especially when Anna – Keira’s sister is involved now. You see him stop his man whoring ways, the comments and actions still continue though but he’s found someone just like him, someone who can give him talk back, can keep up with him and just someone to love all of him.

I just pretty much love Griffin. You would want him to grope you when you walk past him…despite probably giving him evils after but in Effortless/Reckless, he’s such so sweet and smitten with his daughter and Anna and he will completely take half of your heart. (Kellan has the other half)

HAD to get a pic of Chris/Griffin with his daughter. Swoon what is it with men and holding children that make your ovaries explode?

Laura’s Review: Scandal In Seattle (Great Exploitations #2) – Nicole Williams

Posted on August 1, 2013July 31, 2013 by Z. Elizabeth

Revenge isn’t what the Eves are about. Justice is.

But when Sienna Stevens leaves Miami for her Errand in Seattle as Ally Andrews, revenge is the only thing on her mind. A woman scorned is one thing, but Ally is something else altogether. She will not rest until the man who upended her world is brought to his personal and financial knees. She won’t settle for just upending his world in return. She’s going for full-blown annihilation.

Ally’s barely in Seattle a day before complications arise. She begins making slips. She’s one error away from being pulled from the biggest Errand of her career when she comes face to face with Henry Callahan. Former lover. Current Target.

Things just went from complicated to catastrophic.

Buy SCANDAL IN SEATTLE: Amazon UK/Amazon US/B&N

There is just something about this series that is crazy addictive and smart that I can never get enough!

Just like the first one, this book was incredibly well written, with an amazing ability to completely suck you in to the story making it feel longer than it actually was. I could feel the story and main character opening up so much more in this book than in the first one, really getting in to the coming story.

In this book we finally learn that the main character’s real name is in fact Eve (a little ironic considering her job description). Picking up where MISCHIEF IN MIAMI left off, she is on her way to catch the big fish, the 10 that will make her enough money to finally stop being an Eve. However, things don’t go exactly as planned as Eve finds out that the 10 is in fact her cheating ex-fiance Henry and she’s not the only one hired to catch him.

Life is change. Or is it, change is life?

For me it’s the latter. Change is the essence of my life. It is the origin of my present and the promise of my immediate future.

One day, that’s going to change.

As Eve starts to work on getting revenge on Henry through her work, we begin to see a different side to her. Never letting anything get to her before, working with him proves harder than she first thought as although the hatred and pain over what he did pushes her, past memories keep popping up, which made me question how this part of the story will progress and if the pair will end up back together… which would just lead to even more questions!

Henry is completely charming in this book and with that, and through flashbacks you can totally see why Eve was with him in the first place. I can’t help but think that because of this she is going to get sucked back in. She is so far off the spectrum that she can’t see that she won’t be able to pull it off, and even if she did, he knows who she is and could hold her responsible IF things actually do go as planned.

He’d always been good with words. However, that wasn’t my first rodeo with Henry Callahan, and I knew all of his tricks. Neither his words nor the way he said them would make my breath catch ever again.

I find the whole concept of this series amazing and only wish the books were longer so I didn’t have to keep waiting for the rest of the story. Nicole Williams’ writing style completely sinks you in so that before you know it, you’ve finished the book and your desperate for the next one. I cannot recommend these books enough, they are short, light reads, with a killer story that stays with you!

5 stars!

This week The Book Lovers is featuring Kellan Kyle from The Thoughtless Series by S.C Stephens.

My Kellan is Devin Pasiley

When i was searching for the perfect Kellan, this guy popped up. Seriously? SUPER HOT. And then the more i searched, the more it seemed that he IS everyone’s Kellan *sad face* but WHO CARES RIGHT? That only means that I have good taste for the amazing Kellan Kyle 😉

I’d like to thank my twinnie Karli and my friend Kerry for practically forcing me to read this series. After Kellan won the tournament I KNEW I had to find out about him and I’m so glad that I now know exactly why he won. Why he deserved to win.

I don’t even know where to begin. There is so much that I want to swoon about that whatever I say won’t be enough to express just how amazing and extraordinary this character is. I do know why he is the top boyfriend for so many people out there and he really has jumped my list to sit in the top 5. Okay…he;s not number 1 but don’t tell Isaac, Holder or Andrew 😉

Kellan oozes sex. He’s got that sexy smirk down to a T, the shaggy sex hair down to a T, the rock god down to a T but underneath all that confidence is a guy who really has no self-belief in himself due to his childhood. He feels that he isn’t good enough to be loved and that in itself is heartbreaking. Its why he whores around so he can feel something.

But along comes Kiera and turns his world upside down. She sees him. The real him and not the stage persona of him. Despite the ups and downs throughout the first book, Thoughtless, it does get better during the next two books.

Kellan is such a passionate guy. He loves music, he lives for music and its the only thing he can put his all into (apart from the women 😉 ) but he falls so deeply in love with Kiera he will do anything to be with her. The things he would say, i just cant even. He is so sweet and loyal and amazing and can someone please make him real so i can have him? I need a guy like Kellan in my life. He is just everything a guy should be and i dont even have enough words to explain just how super fucking amazing and awesome and sexy this guy is. He grows up a lot, goes through a lot and always comes out the other side. You see him understand that he is loved, that everyone around him loves him and in time he accept that fact.

It was kind of refreshing to see a guy so confident on stage seem so broken. It really makes a change and i think that is another reason why i fell hard for Mr Kyle.

For those of you who still havent read the Thoughtless series (I hadnt until a few days ago – i read them so fast!) then you really need to. Yes, Thoughtless will piss you off but you have to power through and get to Effortless and Reckless because the ending of their story is one of the best ever!!

This week The Book Lovers is featuring the gorgeous man that is Isaac Sharpe from the book April Showers by Karli Perrin.

This beautiful guy is Rodrigo Guirao Díaz and he is my Issac.

If you have read my review, you will see that Isaac is MY boyfriend. MINE! I have been with him for a very long time now and I know all you lovely ladies want him too, but he’s mine. He even told Karli to send me a Team Isaac top so i can wear it to bed. See, how considerate is he?! hahaha.

Anyway, he’s my choice this week because he just is.

He’s lovable, he’s sexy, he’s caring, his banter is freaking hysterical. He will fight all the way for April, which in turn is a turn on hahah. He’s outspoken and passionate but he also had a vulnerable side, a side where he’s known pain and his past just makes you want to hug him but you are so proud for everything he has accomplished because of it.

He says lines that will make you want to drop your panties, for him to take you and because you will swoon over him.
“Your lipstick is driving me fucking crazy”
“Embarrassing? I’m not embarrassed. I’m scared. Scared that you don’t want anything to do with me”
“I love hearing you say my name”
‘He took my hand and held it against his chest, “Feel that? It beats for you.”’
“You’re keeping those heels on”

WHO in their right mind would turn Isaac down? Well, hopefully all of you so i can keep him to myself, but i know none of you would.

So Isaac is my MANCANDY for this Monday, but who is yours?
