My Freebie List by Robyn DeHart + Giveaway

If you haven’t already noticed us romance writers have a thing for hot guys. I’d say it was all women, but I do hate to make generalizations. But I do know romance writers and well, we take it upon ourselves to survey the goods (as it were) so that we can create unforgettable heroes that our readers can fall in love with. It’s hard work, looking at all those pictures on-line, but hey we sacrifice our time for you, readers, because we love you and we’re dedicated to our jobs.

So remember that episode of Friends where they all discuss who would be on their freebie list?

 

I made my list once, I don’t recall who I put it on it then, but I thought I’d see where I am now. I’m approaching 40 (in a year or two) and certainly my tastes have evolved. So I set out to see who would make the cut and who wouldn’t. Without further ado, I present my list of freebies…

Johnny Depp

Regardless of my age (or his perhaps) I suspect that one fella will always top my list. Ah…Johnny…there’s just something about him. The eyes, the attitude, the intensity. Even as Captain Jack with dreads and eyeliner and rotten teeth, he still gets me going.

Jonny Lee Miller

While I’m talking about Johnny’s, I’ll just move onto my number 2 spot which goes to Jonny Lee Miller. I’ve had a “thing” for him since Hackers (my guilty pleasure movie which I can still watch again and again). Something about his eyes and his facial structure and expressions. I don’t know. Now I’m loving him as Sherlock on Elementary. I love how physical he is in the role and well, he’s just really pretty to look at.

Henry Cavill

Recently I was searching for the right picture to go with the hero for an upcoming book and a reader suggested Henry Cavill. Sadly I was not as familiar with this actor and so I googled him. Well, I’ve become quite acquainted with this face (and coincidentally did pick him for that hero, you’ll meet him in A LITTLE BIT SCANDALOUS this summer). In any case Mr. Cavill is in a word, gorgeous. He’s got that devil-may-care attitude and it just gives me the shivers.

Joseph Fiennes

Intense eyes, chiseled jaw, sexy accent…why is Joseph Fiennes not in more stuff? I even watched the short lived Flash Forward for him. Sigh. He’s yummy, really, really yummy. Did I mention his intense eyes? Enough said.

And this is where you come in, dear readers, I can’t settle on a fifth. Brad Pitt? No, he’s too pretty and often entirely too hairy. Hugh Dancy? I’ve been looking at him a lot lately as he’s also the model for an upcoming hero. In many pics he strikes the right tone, but in others he’s entirely too fresh-faced and boyish. Colin Firth? Richard Armitage?

Leave a suggestion and I’ll pick 1 to win a copy of my latest book, A LITTLE BIT WICKED.

And special thanks to my friend, Vicky Dreiling, for hosting me today!

 

Marcus Kincaid has returned to England after a ten-year absence as the Earl of Ashford after his brother’s untimely death. Unfortunately, his younger sister is embroiled in a potential scandal that could ruin her chance at marriage, and his aunt has already called in reinforcements—The Paragon.

Vivian March is known simply as The Paragon. She moves through every circle within Society, smoothing out scandals and stopping gossip in its tracks. Everyone in London knows that if she aligns herself with you, Society will forgive your sins. What they don’t know is that she uses their secrets to cover her own jaded past.

But with every kiss and every touch that Marcus thrusts upon her, Vivian comes to believe life is infinitely more fun when you can be just a little bit wicked…
