He’s a Pantene Pro-V Commercial!

Here’s a cover that had me staring at it for ten minutes. I was convinced it was a girl at first, but then I thought Silhouette Desire wouldn’t put a topless chick on their cover! As cute as this boy is, however, I don’t buy him as a cowboy. He looks like Abercrombie & Fitch’s idea of a cowboy, but I bet this bitch has never shoveled hay in his entire life. I bet he gets manicures and shit. Just check out how white is Stetson is. Uh… hello! No room for ambiguity. I think they should have given him a black Stetson so we could pretend he’s kind of a bad guy that is redeemed by a… sassy cowgirl or something. I’m a little jealous of his hips, though. They’re almost as wide as his belt buckle. This is one lean man. I like a dude with a little more meat on his bones. Not fat, mind you (no fatties!), but… hefty. A man who works out and stuff, but doesn’t mind eating a big fat steak and downing a forty afterward. Dude looks like he’s allergic to carbs and nibbles daintily on salads. He don’t look like the type who can scarf down a Carl’s Jr Six Dollar Burger (if it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face). I bet he’s the kind of date who’d glare at you if you ordered curly fries with your burger. I’d still let him stick it in, though… but just the tip. Then he can go home.

    And is that a bracelet on his right wrist?

    On a recent episode of Bones Stephen Fry’s character (love Stephen Fry!) talked about how belt buckles like that are a way to draw the eye to the groin. The bigger the buckle, the bigger the promise of what’s underneath it. Looks like a touch of false advertising in this case.

    I love Michael K. I told him once, “if you weren’t so gay, I’d stalk you. I may stalk you anyway.” He’s adorable.

    Ah don’t care. I LOVE the cover! No way can you tell that Brenda Jackson is a black romance author by that cover. She’s un-niched! You go, girl!

    Heh. I actually bought this book because of the cover. I think I have most of Brenda Jackson’s Westmoreland books.

    Oh, I am a huuuuuuuuuge fan of DListed. Check it multiple times every day, ’cause I am just that lame. The proudest day of my life was when I e-mailed Michael K. with an awesome website and he actually did a sweet post on it! Of course, that was on the old blog, so now it is lost to posterity… *sob*

    He’s perty. He could lose the cowboy hat, though.

    I own a horse. I spend 1-2 hours every freakin’ day in a stable. Anything white will not stay that way for long in a stable. If the horses don’t mess it up, the barn cats or birds, will. Then there’s the mud, the manure, the mud…did I mention the mud?

    That is not a cowboy. That is a Village People wanna-be.

    I’ve picked this one up twice at the bookstore, but either the blurb or the girly guy aren’t doing it for me. Anybody read it yet? Is it better than it looks?

    I have it, dl. It’s pretty thin. I can probably read and review by next week. I’ll let you know then, eh?

    Though… Brenda Jackson’s books are quite readable. Her characters sparkle even in contrived situations and there is genuine emotion to be found in her books.

    I admit the cover is what caught my eye at first but then I read the blurb and was intrigued. I read her book in 3 days. I find her a very good read. And I think anyone who passes it up will miss a delightful read.

    Most conceited-looking cowboy. Ever.

    I just hate it when I could care less if he was an in-y or an out-y.
