Sexiest Man Alive?
November 14, 2007





Matt Damon was named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.  It just doesn't seem fair that the older men get, the better looking they get.  Even Matt concedes, "You've given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime."  I'm ok with the pick this year, but my all time favorite has to go to Harrison Ford with his sexy, quirky smirk.  You can leave your favs in the comments.  Ok, now that I have your attention...on with the blog.



Well, the WW ladies have really caught on and the feedback has been very positive.  So, now I've added some friends to the mix who are just as nutsy about books as I am.  Sit back and get ready to pick up some great ideas for some exciting upcoming reads.



Bite Me If You Can by Lynsay Sands

Reviewed by Joyce 

As the Argeneau family patriarch, Lucian has cultivated a callous aloofness that intimidates his family and co-workers, yet these same traits allow him to pursue rogue immortals with the ruthlessness required to protect the secrets of his society. Suddenly stuck with the care of a recent victim of a rogue, he finds himself stumbling around Leigh Gerard in a manner that bruises his dignity while melting his icy heart. This entry into the continuing Argeneau family saga is romantic, sexy and laugh-out-loud funny.









Shooting Star by Colby Hodge

 Reviewed by Judy

The second book in the Stargazer series has Ruben, an interstellar trader crashing on a remote orb.  Slave Tess and her 6 year old son save him while he is on the run from false charges taking them along.  Ever felt like someone was reading your mind?  Perhaps they are.  This furturistic novel reveals the use and sources of telepathic powers in a unique way.  

See if it capivates your senses.  Mine are still tingling.








Games of Command by Linnea Sinclair

Reviewed by Joyce 

Linnea Sinclair’s books are reminiscent of traditional Sci-Fi with well-conceived descriptions of science, hardware and technical applications fit for a space adventure.  With romantic and vulnerable characters, Games of Command fills the needs of romance junkies and techno geeks in a smooth blend. “Sass” Sebastian is tough, but when she crosses the deck of Admiral Kel-Paten’s warship, she just may have met someone who’s tougher…

 




Cat Deck the Halls
by Shirley Rousseau Murphy

Reviewed by Rhonda

Joe Grey is a P.I. who also just happens to be a cat.  A murder beneath the village Christmas tree and the only witness is a young child.  Joe and his pals rush in to solve the crime.  A very clever Christmas cat mystery.  Everyone would feel much safer with these cats watching over the town.   Makes me look at my own cat differently and wondering what she's thing.  A must read for any cat lover. 






Bottom line:  Sexy is in the eye of the beholder....and some of these guys have given us an eyeful.

Any problems posting to this blog, please send your comments to me and I'll get them in for you.

I think I have officially aged out of the demographic! Matt's fine, but I like a guy whose face shows some character. Harrison, definitely, or Clive Owen! - clea www.cleasimon.com

Nope ... Matt Damon doesn't do it for me, Barb. Just can't see him with the title. Not when there are so many candidates which I consider hotter. It isn't fair that men seem to get more attractive the older they get. Sean Connery did nothing for me when he was younger (a la James Bond), but now? Ooooooo.

Matt's okay. But Clive or Daniel Craig would be my own choice if by chance I ruled the world and all the trivial mindless stuff that occupies it.

That cat book looks awesome for my mom for Christmas! And I'm more in the Daniel Craig camp too.

Somehow when I think Matt Damon, the "suburbanite dad" doesn't immediately come to mind. Thanks for the new reviews, Barbara & co!

LOL. NO FAIR BARB! I want Damon heading up my book intro! But then I did get the captain didn't I! Somebody need to spread the word that you had a hunk on your blog today! Why aren't there thousands of comments. Tell you what. My all time hunk is Gerard Butler the star of Phantom of the Opera the movie and "300" among other files. Put his picture up sometime and I'll tell all the GALS. He's your hero of the week or month and we'll see what happens. I do fashion my heroes after him, especially Jared in Touch A Dark Wolf. hugs jenni

Matt Damon has grown on me. I wasn't a big fan until the "Bourne" movies, but I've loved him in that role. Definitely getting better with age. And I wanted to say a big thank you for letting everyone know about our birthday today over at the Writing Playground! You are so great, Barbara! We've enjoyed getting to know you and being blog buddies. Danniele www.writingplayground.blogspot.com

The Matt Damon picture was definitely a draw, but hotest man alive, I'll stick with Matthew McConaughey...bongos and all.

Gerard Butler - I'm with you on that one, Jennifer. But Hugh Jackman is in there somewhere too. Matt Damon, he's an awful lot like the guy next door. Well, not really; I haven't seen any like that around here, but you know what I mean.

Marjorie Liu commented:

Dude! It's raining men! I'd have to go with Gerard Butler, Clive Owen, (young) Sean Connery, Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Joe Flanigan (do I have to choose just one?), and most definitely Lee Pace, the star of Pushing Daisies. He is so, so, cute.

Matt Damon is cute but I wouldn't have thought he would win. Guess I need to watch those Bourne movies. LOL...

All very good suggestions, but I didn't even think of Lee Pace. Pushing Daisies is the most delightful new show on tv.
