Erm, wait, was there a question? *mesmerized by the beauty*

Sorry, did you ask a question ? I was far too distracted by the pictures.
(wiping drool of chin) After a second and ok maybe a third to fiftieth look I will say yes to all.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 3:37 amDani says:
I like it not so bare… love that trail of hair that goes south… Dark and smilyng with blue or green eyes is the killer combo
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 3:39 amDani says:
Oops… Smiling… Those pictures are distracting…

Both. All. Just give me the postage and packaging details…

Bare chest and the rest doesn’t matter.

Easy! All of the above!
why did they never ask questions like that in school? I’d have aced every single test.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 4:16 amJodi says:
I like it not so bare and dark and broody. But, really, would I complain about the others? Um..No. Fabulous way to start the day…
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 4:34 amaida alberto says:
Umm did you say something? Dark and brooding with either green, blue or grey eyes. Not so bare and did you see the tat on the abs? Yummy.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 4:46 amPat L. says:
Dark and brooding and a smile is good. Not so bare definitely.
You really picked good ones here.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 5:23 amBooklover1335 says:
bare or hair…doesn’t matter to me as long as it’s sculpted
And I personally love dark and broody, but sometimes fair & smiling is fun too 
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 5:30 amcheryl c. says:
All of the above, but ESPECIALLY bare and smiling…at me, of course!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 5:39 amLynn LaFleur says:
Love that happy trail! A little hair on a guy’s chest is soooo sexy. And I agree with others who said dark and brooding with blue eyes. Of course smiling with blue eyes is okay too. Can you tell I like blue eyes.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 6:26 amJennifer M. says:
Dark, broody, not so bare. That is all.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 6:55 amPaige says:
Holy crap! Who cares. They all look good enough to eat!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 6:59 amJudy S says:
Definitely dark and broody and not so bare!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:03 amMaryAnne says:
Tall – wide – nekkid
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:08 amTammy says:
Well, the hairy chest reminds me too much of the Seinfield episode where Jerry shaves his chest and it grows back thicker! Eek! Other than that the others look yummy. I love fair and smiling cause it reminds me of Ford or Wade from your books, but I also love dark and broody because I also loved Brody from the Sky High books and of course Sawyer from Lucky Harbor! Think you for the mood lifters!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:15 amRochelle L says:
I think my heart stopped beating for about a minute. All of them delish! Wouldn’t turn a one of them away. Sigh…pant pant…
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:21 amWendy S says:
All the above please…I’m not picky, well just no back hair please
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:23 amBrandy Bosquez says:
I like bare and smooth. A small amount of hair would be fine, but nothing that resembles a sweater!! Smiling or not doesn’t really matter to me. Number 3 is my favorite
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:49 amMichele says:
All of the above!!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:49 amMarti P says:
Not so bare. OMG, he is H.O.T.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 7:58 amJen says:
Holy cow, these are hot!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 8:27 amI like them all, but the last two really grabbed me because of their expressions. THey are the stuff wet dreams were made of.
Michelle C. says:
OH MY!!! I like them all, but not so bare…..kinda takes my breath away
!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 8:27 amJill H. says:
All! Smiling is best!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 8:38 amDaniela C says:
Such an important question!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 8:57 amI think it requires extensive research and further discussions…please provide more stimulation by way of research photos such as these….I will happily write my thesis then.
Tori says:
One of each please! I’m an equal opportunity kind of girl, but darky and broody men get my motor running in a big way.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:15 amAllie says:
One of each, please!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:19 amSteffi K says:

Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:28 amMelissa says:
Hairy chested AND bearded…like Gerard Butler.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:31 amD says:
definitely Dark and Broody.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:34 amPaula says:
Yes. Yes. Yes. And YES!! All of them work for me. Of course I’ve been married for almost 14 years…
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:59 amlisaione says:
While I would throw any of them out of bed. Smiling always draws my attention first. And a little hair is very nice, that said a little goes a long way. No bush men!!

Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 10:02 amAlison C says:
All of them. I like a little hair I think it’s manly. A great smile is just a sexy as brooding. Are the pics are great and what a way to start the day!!!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 10:22 amDeb says:
Listen, WHERE do you find all these pictures? And how did you get a job where you get to look at half-naked men all day? And then write about them?
Lucky Duck.
also, #2. He’s The One.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 10:28 amkris says:
How can I possibly choose??? I love them all equally.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 10:49 amDonna M says:
Dark & Broody with blue eyes. Yummmmm! Not so bare! 
I may have to come back later to make sure the pictures are still there!!! 
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 11:26 amErin says:
I’ll take all, gift wrapped please!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 11:37 amayleen says:
Is that a trick question, all of the above please
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 11:52 amMaggie says:
Are you kidding me? Sign me up for all four!!!!!!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 12:39 pmJoAnn says:
It’s soooo hard to pick just one; but, dark & broody wins in my book!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 1:16 pmKimberly K says:
Tall dark and broody, with the possibility of a smile? AMAZING.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 1:21 pmAlso,not so bare- it is called a happy trail because it makes women happy
Crystal Leo says:
Ahh see this is a drool worthy debate. Between bare and not so bare chested? Immediate response would have been bare! Because who wouldn’t want to run their tongue across a lickable chest like that. Then my brain starts churning and I remember: not so bare looks alpha and ruggedly handsome. *sigh* Contest ends up being a tie…
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 1:38 pmThen you move on to fair and smiling or dark and broody. Well immediate answer would be dark and broody. Cause who doesn’t love the look of a mysterious potential bad boy? Then I glance over a manly embodiment of fair and smiling and well – I just might like the way he would make me giggle.
Odie S says:
One of each please – you can put them on a daily rotational program
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 2:09 pmJudy F says:
I will take one of each. Thanks Jill
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 2:24 pmLynda the Guppy says:
Yes. *grin*
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 2:46 pmJeanne C says:
ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 3:58 pmJennifer Hardin says:
*drool*
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 4:43 pmDark and brooding defiantly
Chest hair = testosterone!
Hélène says:
All of the above please
Anything more would be too much.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 4:59 pmStacy S says:
All of the above:)
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 6:05 pmKathryn S. says:
I’ll take them anyway that I can get them! They all look yummy!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 6:41 pmMarian says:
Love them all, but the 3rd picture is especially adorable.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 6:44 pmev says:
Um…what was the question again??
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 8:00 pmDiana says:
Dark and broody (Ryan Gosling being the exception
)!
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 8:38 pmKourtney says:
I like it bare, but I’m not gunna lie, I love a happy trail.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 9:34 pmWhen it comes to smiling or brooding, I like both.
Diane W says:
I like a little grass on my playground!! Need the hair.
Posted on January 26th, 2012 at 10:43 pmJeanne says:
To each their own, but I think a bare chest is so much sexier. I also prefer my heroes with dark hair as opposed to blond.
Posted on January 27th, 2012 at 2:49 amjillian says:
bare chested…
dark and broody…

Posted on January 27th, 2012 at 4:55 ammarcie alden says:

Nice way to start the day.
Posted on January 27th, 2012 at 8:37 amKelly S says:
Favorite was smiling dude but all were lucious!
Posted on January 27th, 2012 at 7:15 pmLisa in California says:
Bare chested…definitely…as well as dark and brooding…way more sexy than the other options.
Posted on January 28th, 2012 at 2:02 pmLindsay W says:
Bare chested…perfect.
Posted on January 28th, 2012 at 7:59 pmDark and brooding…yup.
Fair and smiling…I’ll take this too.
