Meet Prince Alexander “I’m not the kind of man to kiss and tell…”

Caridad is having a little giveaway and she asked me to pop by and share my gamble on love with you. While I know I look like a bit of a rake in the photo Caridad is sharing with you, let me assure you that I’m not the kind of man to kiss and tell. As a prince and a gentleman, I respect the woman I love, but given that it worked out so well for me, I’d like to hope that you, too, can one day have your happily-ever-after. Not that I thought at first that it I’d have any attraction to Kathleen. From the moment she huffed into my office, full of righteous bluster . . . and twenty minutes late, may I add . . . my one plan was to have my business with her done as as quickly as possible.

God laughs at men who make plans. There was something about her, about her strength and her hesitant beauty, that just ensnared me. I wanted to know why she was so unsure of herself that way and why she hated my guts. That was plainly obvious at that first meeting.

I was not prepared for her dislike on various levels. As a prince, there are those sycophants who will “yes” me to death just because I’m a royal. I detest that since I have always wanted to be judged by what I do and not what I am. Somehow I sensed Kathleen had issues not only with that, but with something far more dangerous. I was determined to show her the man I was, if only to prove her wrong.

Somehow I think we both proved each other wrong and it was a delightful lesson to learn. But as I said, I’m not the kind of man to kiss and tell. Suffice it to say, Kathleen and I found our way to our happily-ever-after. I hope you find your way there as well.

As I mentioned, Caridad is hoping you’ll share your story as well for a chance to win an assortment of prizes. So please drop by and share your gamble on love at the Entangled Publishing Facebook page http://on.fb.me/VSkrA3 or leave your story here if you do not use Facebook!

Tomorrow through Feb 16th, visit with me at the wonderful Fools For Luv Blogspot for a chance to win an assortment of prizes, including three of my erotic e-novellas – NIGHT OF THE COUGAR, THE VAMPIRE’S CONSORT and NOCTURNAL WHISPERS.

#ManCandyMonday Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I’ve thought he was a cutie since 3rd Rock from the Son and Ten Things I Hate About You. His role in Inception just cemented the hotness factor for Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Joseph has been an actor since an early age. At six he performed in a local theater group and then went on to a number of roles as a child star and then teenager. You might also recognize him from a stint in the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises.

I hope you enjoy today’s Man Candy! I’ll also have some pictures for you shortly from my trip to the awesome Olde City, New Blood conference in St. Augustine.

Paranormal Romance Guild: 5 Stars – “This is not just a ghost story and romance but it is a very good murder mystery. Who killed the Ryan’s and why?

#ManCandyMonday Sam Worthington

It was a tough choice this Monday, but this delicious hunk has been on my mind since Terminator Salvation, where he stole the movie from another hunk, Christian Bale.

Sam has appeared in a number of movies, including Avator and the two Titans movies. Sam was born in Britain, but raised in Australia. There are so many sexy Australians you gotta wonder what’s in the water down there!

Hope you enjoyed today’s Man Candy Monday!
