Contest closed - congrats to Sophia P. & Gayle O.!
Hello and welcome - you're no doubt still all a-tingle from your visit to Trina Lee's blog and all the blogs that come before it. Here you'll find Lexi Ryan and Annemarie Hartnett chatting about the menfolk.
And if you're just surfing on here and wondering "WTF is this blog tour?" go to Paige Tyler's blog to start -- you could be looking at 25 books and all you have to do is comment along the way.
Neither one of us has done a blog tour before (of course, Lexi's excuse is that she doesn't have a blog so she's cuddling up with Annemarie for this one) and since neither one of us is too sure what one is supposed to write about during a blog tour, I think we'll just do what it looks like everyone else is doing and post some pics of the menfolk.
Annemarie: Lexi? You got your menfolk?
Lexi: Boy, do I! But first, I must thank you for letting me crash at your place since I'm homeless (blogologically speaking, that is). I'd list my excuses for not having a blog, but they're all pretty lame and pretty much come back to "Geez, I can't even keep up with my website." So, instead of feeding you excuses, I'll feed you something you really want.
Lexi's Picks - Werewolf vs. Vampire
The werewolf: Jacob Black as portrayed by Taylor Lautner in the Twilight Sequel
Lexi: Okay, I'm risking my life to deliver you the above werewolf goodness, ladies, because I'm just not sure how Annemarie feels about me tainting her blog with that which is Twilight.
Annemarie: I'm actually more concerned with the fact that I have a pic of a half-naked 17 yr old on my blog
Lexi: The thing is, I read that whole damn series in the hopes that Bella would come to her senses and go to Jacob Black, who was all heat and muscle and passion. Who treated her with respect and thought she was smart enough to make her own decisions. My reward for my diligence? Notta. Until the second movie, in which Taylor Lautner, with a fresh 30 pounds of muscle, rarely bothers covering his top half. Oh, and I'm told he's legal now, so, cougars, lust away! I know I am.
Annemarie: *googles Taylor's age first* Ok, he won't be 18 for a month, so let's go into the future shall we?
Oh noes! Morlocks!
Annemarie: Ok, so it's now February and I'm perfectly free to point out how his jeans are barely holding to those perfect hipbones. And he has a tattoo? Just hose me down now.
The Vampire: Eric Northman as portrayed by Alexander Skarsgard
Lexi: Would you look at those shoulders? No. Seriously. Look again. Yum. I was all about werewolves over vamps until I read the Sookie Stackhouse series. Honestly, through most of the series, I still preferred the werewolves. With the exception of Eric. Eric makes me think really, really dirty things.
Annemarie: First of all, I'm stunned you picked Freshly-Squeezed Skarsgard. Stunned! I mean, after sending me two emails a day while reading the series I would have thought you'd be fresh out of love for the Viking. But I'm even more stunned that you went with this pic. Are you aware of how many half-naked pics of Freshly-Squeezed there are out there?
Lexi: Yeah, well, I'm at work where the really good stuff is blocked. ;)
Annemarie: Second of all I completely agree with you on Eric. I’m a rabid Eric fangirl – book and television.
Lexi: Your turn, Annemarie. Whadaya got?
Annemarie's Picks: Good Boy vs Bad Boy
The Good Boy: Bradley Cooper.
Annemarie: Everyone has got a case of the raging thigh sweats for Bradley lately and why the hell not? Look at him. Don't you just want to bite him on the ass while making happy sounds?
Lexi: OMG, you can't tell here, but this man's eyes make me wanna say, "Yes, master. Whatever you say master," preferably while in a compromising position. Come to think of it, with those eyes, he'd make a great werewolf... *scribbles down new story idea...*
Annemarie: Get a hold of yourself before I send you to werewolf rehab with Dr. Drew.
The Bad Boy: Tom Hardy
Lexi: Holy crap! How did I miss this guy before? And he posts pics of himself online? Goes to show, one person can make a difference in the world.
Annemarie: Yes, Tom is the ultimate humanitarian. He plans to save the world one nude scene at a time.
All right, that's enough perving for one day. Annemarie needs a cigarette and Lexi needs a cold shower.
If you've survived to make it onto the next stop on the tour and you win, you're looking at feeding your reader with Annemarie's The Company of Fools and one of Lexi's Stiletto Girls books. All you have to do is leave a comment before you go on your merry way.
