NY Times and USA Today bestseller Caridad Pineiro shares her favorite Man Candy!
This sexy Dane is rugged and handsome in my book! We first saw Nikolaj in BLACK HAWK DOWN and lately he’s been in GAME OF THRONES and GODS OF EGYPT. Nikolaj was the youngest actor ever trained at the Danish National School of Theatre and Contemporary Dance and is well-established in Denmark and Europe as well as the United States.

I’ve been chugging away nicely on the first book in the 2017 Jersey Girl Bridesmaid Series, tentatively titled SINCE WE WERE 18. I don’t normally pick an actor that I think would look like the hero, although I generally have a very good sense of the physical attributes of the hero (and heroine, of course). To be honest, I like to leave a lot to your imagination!
This time, I’m going to share a photo of someone who I think fits my general concept of the hero, sexy billionaire Jackson (Jax) Pierce
Today’s Man Candy choice is handsome Dylan McDermott. I first noticed Dylan in STEEL MAGNOLIAS and later in the first American Horror Story (which I could not keep on watching ’cause it creeped me out!)
The biggest difference between Dylan and my hero is that Jax has dark grey eyes shot through with shards of silver.

Sorry I’ve been away for a bit, but I had to attend a legal conference and came back feeling less than 100%. Because of that, Memorial Day seems to have gone by in a blur, but I wish to take a moment to thank our military men, women, families and veterans for all that they do for us!
My hubby and I watched The Night Manager on AMC and if you haven’t yet caught this six episode mini-series, you must! It’s a really good spy thriller and Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie are fabulous.
I have to confess that when I first saw Tom Hiddleston in THOR and THE AVENGERS, I really didn’t get why so many women were raving over him.
Then I saw him in The Night Manager. Wow. What a sexy man, especially all dressed up in those fabulous custom-made suits. Just wow. Of course, the only thing better than a sexy man in a suit is a sexy man out of it. LOL! Tom didn’t disappoint there as well, but unfortunately, no screen shots of his lean body in a bathing suit (although you can click here for a nice shot of Tom!).

I’m counting down the minutes to the release of UNDER THE BOARDWALK in the SUMMER HEAT box set! I hope you’ll like Chase and Natalie’s story since it was such a fun one to write.
Today’s Man Candy choice is Chase Smith, the hero of the story. I wanted a really upper crusty sounding name for him and Chase just fit the bill. The reality is that Chase is anything but rich. Chase grew up poor and had to work hard for everything he ever got. It’s important to Chase to be able to provide for Natalie, who did grow up with much much more.
Unfortunately that drive to succeed is a large part of what drove him away from his wife. I loved exploring how Chase tries to find himself again so that he can be the man with whom Natalie fell in love.
This is how I pictured Chase and Natalie during happier times, sharing some time on the Jersey Shore and just having fun!
The SUMMER HEAT Box Set is specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time and is now available at:

Yes, I’m a Mets fan. I have been for some time. It’s hard to be a Mets fan, but I love the underdog.
Conforto is an amazing young player and such a cutie. He shows grace under pressure, can hit like a more seasoned player, and is a good outfielder. I’m looking forward to seeing so much more of him.
Plus, he’s only the third player in baseball history to have played in the Little League World Series, College World Series, and Major League World Series. Plus, as a rookie, he hit two home runs in a World Series game, a feat that hasn’t been done since 1996.
I’m happy to say I’ll be going to a game in a week. Against the Nationals which should be fun since the Mets and Nationals are battling for first.

I’m back! I’ve been busy doing some research for the new Bridesmaids series, now tentatively titled The Jersey Girl Bridesmaids, and getting to some major chores that needed to get done.
Things are good otherwise and I hope they are good with you!
Since one of the things I’ve managed to sneak in is some Mets games on TV, today’s Man Candy choice is Sam Fuld who is currently an outfielder for the Oakland Athletics. Sam is known for his acrobatic catches and for also being a full-time player with Type 1 diabetes. Sam was also a high school and college All-American who married his high school sweetheart.

Nico first caught my eye in the first season of The Following. Sadly, he played one of the bad guys and I kept on hoping for his redemption because he was so cute! Now Nico is the love interest on Younger. I haven’t watched it, but that doesn’t mean Nico doesn’t keep on catching my eye. LOL!
Thanks to Nico’s Instagram feed for this photo.
made it to la like. @kylekriegerhair 📸
