Gena Showalter's Weblog

As much as I would love to win your books, I don't think I would dare go topless anywhere but in my own home. Though while in my own home I will imagine I am somewhere great if that helps... :-P

Ummmm It would be pretty scary to see me topless but if thats what it takes lets go.... I can mix in with the crowd and if the cabana boys all look like this why not?? I have my daisy dukes on for the bottoms though.... :)

Um, does it count if I've already spent a week topless in Greece? I must admit, having only a bikini bottom tan line was awesome!

Of course, that was before kids, but I'd do it again for books from you ladies!

Puts on a nice one piece bathing suit and joins Deidre and Gena on the beach. While I'd love to win books, going topless is not for me. :)

I would really like to win but ,me ,topless in the sun wouldn't be pretty. 5 minutes later I would be red as a lobster, for some reason my skin seems to absorb any sun rays it can find, and sunblock does not help.

I would definitely go topless to win a book ... Why the heck not? Men do it all the time why shouldn't. Plus after a couple of drinks who cares.

I can't wait until Seduce the Darkness yippee!! And Red Kiss... where do you come up with this delectable titles.

oh hell I'll be the first one here to take it all off. I go to Martha's Vinyard every summer, and for those of you who know, Gay Head Cliffs is the place to lay out nude. I can't stand tan lines. Now if I can get Maddox to join me with a couple of Mojitos....Mmmmm :-)

Can we go topless via proxy? I volunteer my ex SEAL hubby to do the deed in my place. His pecs are bigger than mine anyhow, LOL. And certainly more fun to ogle!

hmmmm....generally I would not even consider going topless ANYWHERE, even the virtual world, due to the fact that I'm SURE I'd be arrested for public indecency, HOWEVER, this IS for a chance to hang out with Gena and Deidre and possibly win a good read so..... I guess I'm gonna RELEASE THE GIRLS!! :-)

My daughter and I were on a topless beach some years ago and I must say that the women we saw who were topless shouldn't have been! As they lathered their overabundant bodies with suntan oil my daughter said, "EW. Let me know when our boat comes because I won't open my eyes again until then!" Another day we saw a man who looked like he was in his 80s wearing a speedo and that also grossed her out. After those two experiences, I would say that I would join you girls on the couch with one of your 'fruit drinks' - or more - but no topless or speedos for me!

*puts on a Land's End "The Kindest Cut" bathing suit*

Hmm. Maybe Gena's not sunburned - just flushed from all that beefcake... ;)

I have no problem with (naked) beach cartwheels...especially when there are free books involved. But...I might have to steal away a cabana boy...or two. :D

I'm not a topless kinda girl. But I do hate tan lines. Please count me in for the contest

I think i could totally go topless, in my backyard :) Don't want to get arrested or anything after all. But i would look darn good doing it i am sure :)

I'd go topless anywhere(We can here in Ontario),but I'd sunbath nude at home,I wouldn't expose my vajayjay just anywhere:)But I wouldn't recommend it yet..too freakin cold here.I have to wait until July,although I do burn, so sunblock is a must.But I've never burned the ta-tas before.Here's hoping I don't now. :)
That drink looks fabulous,I must try it..bottoms up!!
I'd love to win a book,so please enter me in the contest

Made the mistake of sleeping in a bikini next to a waterfall after going swiming. Big case of sun poisoning. Can't go in the sun anymore without being dressed like an esquimau.
But if it take topless to win the books, I have good friends who would do it instead of me. For a chance to read the books after I'm done with them. LOL!

I would go topless to win a book, but I might clear out the beach. I should mention I am the president of the Itty-Bitty-Titty-Committy, but I would fetch the cabana boy for Gena and Deidre anytime.

Hum.... If I was the only one in the room I would go topless but with other people? I have to think about it ;o))

For free signed books---just add alcohol and a topless I shall go! I know, I'm not proud of myself either but I would for your books. ;)

* Chuckles* Some friends would believe I'd go topless for some books.

Though pump me full of sugar and plenty of sun block because I burn so easy and I think I would took. Books are the right incentive.

Who needs the Riviera? I'm a topless girl by choice if you've got it flaunt it I say!! And just to show those cabana boys that we Brits haven't just got the stiff upper lip, i'd be happy to stand up and volunteer to be the official sun lotion-massager! Then after a fruity beverage or four, I might forget what my mother told me and throw my pants to the wind too. Who needs tan lines, right?
Yours in the buff,
Lesley x (p.s. I'd be willing to run naked around the streets of London for free books. Possible arrest? Bring it on. The people of London won't know what's hit 'em!!) :-)

Topless... nope, not a good look for me. I think I'll go with a one piece but count me in for the books.

Pass the sunblock and a drink and I am in. Anything for a book from you awesome ladies!! Pass one of them Cabana boys also please!!

Okay...wow... I will just say "you tell me what i need to do... and consider it done" to win free books... especially from you two ladies!!!

Well, what to do if we just discovered that I'm pregnant and cannot partake of the delicious rum punch and other delicious intoxication inducing beverages?

Hmmm...what would I do for a book...of course if I was going to go topless...this would be the time as my chest begins growing to porn star size via my hormone induced "boob job" LOL

Let's see...how bout my last chance to do a belly dance before my belly protrudes to nightmare proportions?

I'll do a belly dance for the prize!

Great to see both of you and I'm a big, big fan (soon to be even bigger). Thanks for a fun party!

Now off to sip caffeine free something. Argh!

Its shameless to say that there is not much I wouldn't do to get a signed copy from my favorite authors. Topless at the beach, wardrobe malfunctions, whatever it takes!!!!

Sign me up for the drinks and definitely the books. Topless I'll leave to you younger gals!

I'm glad that you guys are having fun. Be careful though with all those dreamy hot guys...

O well back to the books... What I would do to win the books? Helo I'm the major daredevil from my friends.
- I would gladly walk to the streets naked and go all the way to Riviera to get the books.
- I would drop skidiving were you exactly are right now topless.
- Hey if you want me to drop from the Empire State building I'll gladly do it.
- I would walk the whole world naked if you want, but those naked cabana guys and me...

Ok that was a great fantasy but hey you are Paranormal Romance wrtiers you'll know what I'm talking about...
Don't drink to much... Who am I kidding let's get this party started!
Hope I win the book!

Congrats to the winner!!! And topless beaches?!?! Braaave leadies you are!! WHOO! But here's to hoping to I win this round! Good Luck everyone!!! AND 21 DAYS TIL SEDCUE THE DARKNESS!

I'm not really the topless type but after a few drinks I could go topless. Count me in for the oontest

Topless is not for me--at least not where folk my see! Too scary hee, hee. However, I will offer up my lovely guy--he's very buff and tan and yummy and would give those cabana boys a run for their money!
BTW, it is his birthday so I must say extra special things today. :)
Anyway would love to share your drinks and win your books!

Not only would I not be comfortable topless outside of my house - I worry that many would mistake me and harpoon me, especially in a beach setting! (hahaha)

I would love to win a book as well but between harpooning and the 3-degree sunburn from a fifteen minute exposure, I'm out. However, when I was younger, there was nothing better than skinny dipping!

Does it count that I was part of a polar bear skinny dip in winter on the west coast of California? (Oh those crazy college days!)

Hmmm. What would I do for the chance of winning free books? Well, with a little liquid courage and SPF 50 I would go topless, even in front of said cabana boys, while singing YES singing Rupert Holmes "Escape" .
Ok, now altogether

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

If that is not enough to win a free book.... I don't know what else is!

Topless....oh no...maybe if you got me really drunk :) I think that going topless is a really brave thing to do...props to the girls who can do it! :) I'll stick to my tiny bikini and pull up a chair ;)

I need SPF 100. I turn into a cherry after a few minutes. Topless... maybe not. I'll stick to my bikini and baking in the sun. :)

Well, since I am a mom these days I'd have to pass on the topless. But in my younger days I did do some skinny dipping with a few of my close friends and the experience was awesome. There's nothing like the feel of cool water on your skin and the liberation of it all.

Kate M.

Hmmm...going topples for a BOOK..... if I recall correctly.....BEEN THERE...DONE THAT!!! No wait... that was for beer...What can I say? That was years ago with my best friend "Wicked Wanda". We (like you two ) would get into all kinds of stuff when we were younger oh about 30 years ago.......30years...OH MY GOODNESS.... That would make us... almost....50?...When did that happen?... I don't feel any different..well maybe a few aches and pains...Now I'm depressed....Maybe winning a book or four will ease the depression..that or an awful lot of...yummy guys on a beach with you girls....Did I mention the yummy guys...maybe I am really almost 50...nah..NOT in my dream world.Pass the drinks girls...mine is empty. Oh and Gena.... Where is Jill?....you know you gonna be in big trouble if you didn't invite her.

okay, am learning new terminology here and loving it. :)

I want to add a few crucial points to this discussion:
1) There is such a thing as naked noodle racing. Just saying. And it can be done in groups.
2) age is no limitation on skinny dipping if it's nighttime. :)
3) You don't have to do anything but say hi, really, to participate in this contest! We almost hit 300 posts yesterday, and I want to see if we can today!
4) I'm giving away a copy of RED FIRE and also of RED KISS!

I would willingly go topless, but if I make you go blind you can't write anymore books. None of us wants that.

Also should add--when I DID sunbathe topless on the Riviera, I actually ordered drinks from cabana boy with a straight face while revealing the twins. WAs interesting.

Not nearly as interesting as peeling a week later. Not so fun in a public place (itchy!)

Hey you two, sounds grand!

Would I go topless? ..... In a heartbeat!!

I have never gone topless but I have skinny dipped a few times!

I m too sensitive to go topless, one summer even my feet got sunburn even though I used sunscreen,its too much of pain. Of course in Europe going topless its not that big of deal, almost everybody does it.First few minutes are weird when you see almost everybody like that but then I just got used too, and looked only at their faces :)

I would do it!!! lol

Just started the Alantis books. OMG I love them!

Anyone want to start trying to guess where we're jetsetting off to tomorrow?? :)

Hahahaha!! So many ladies have the same feelings. I would never go anywhere topless either. In fact, I havent been in a swim suit in about 18 years! :D
But if enough booze is around I may do some flashing, |mao!!
I so love your books Gena. So looking forward to them a||.
I cant wait for the second book to Intertwined.
And Deidra rocks too! Book sounds rea||y good!
Hahahaha!!! Woud be a tad uncomfy to scratch the girls in pubic, hahahaha!!!!!!

LOL don't know that I'd be adventurous enough to go anywhere topless these days. Maybe if I was dared and had enough of today's drink in me...

what a great response you guys had yesterday.. rooting for the 300 mark today for you.

Today's photo is yummy btw :).

Gang, all you have to do is post to win! I'm thinking I scared some of you off from entering b/c i asked what the most outrageous thing you'd do would be! LOL!

If all I have to do for free books is go topless - count me in! Of course others might object to the pot- two kids boobs but for free books from you guys - who cares how grossed out everyone else will be! :D I'd go completely nude for the second book in the "Extra-Ordinary Girl" (Playing with Fire- for those of you who missed that one.) series! :P

Definitely sign me up for drinks and books.
But going topless...hmmm...no thank you.

Even though I still feel hungover from yesterday's celebration, I don't think I can be convinced to go topless.

Thanks again for all the fun!

If you had a choice, which one of my books would you like to win?

Let's give it another try!

I'm all for topless. Though gravity and three kids might not have topless appeal :D

Hugs,Danette

Absolutely! Topless it is! Ahh...to be on vacay would be so nice...

Congrats to the winners, happy reading!

I'm also not into going topless or bottomless, LOL!

Glad to hear both are having fun with the cabana boys and drinks!

Definately enter me for the contest and thanks for a chance to win books.

Terri W.

I could go topless on a virtual beach with a virtual body! But more realistically, I'd send a handmade thank you card that takes a few hours to design and put together :D

For you lovely ladies I will stay completely naked under my clothes for a book hehehe!!! As for going topless I'd be afraid to make everyone go blind with my supper white body, the sun hits my paleness and wow watch out, I even glow in the dark hehehe! :P

Going topless every morning: from my bed to the coffee machine and straight for the bathroom. Otherwise only in the dark and with some drinks to become a little comfy.

I am such a huge fan and both you ladies rock! But my bikini stays on... and well since I am not in any way beach ready except in my OWN fantasies I will keep myself well wrapped up!

Rum, beefcake and a good book...sounds like a great time to be topless!

Count me in.

KG

ok, beefcake is enough to bring me to my knees without the green flower drink.
While I am on my knees I would be willing to beg and throw in a "pretty please" to win anything :)

Apparently I'm willing to keep coming back. Or maybe it's the giggles. I'd offer sunblock, but I'm afraid it's too late if pink is now in season. Maybe some sloppy green aloe will even the score?

I'm not sure how far I would go to win a free book. I guess it would depend on who's book it was.

*thinks about how going topless might scare the natives*

I'll go topless as long as it "virtual toplessness", lol! Y'all are gonna have us staggering around drunk with these drinks...

I've thought about it...just in my backyard really but then I have some sketchy neighbors so I think I'm still going to have to say no the topless-ness ;)

I love the name of this party - Kiss and Seduce. That would make a great title for a book!

Margay

Sure, I'd go topless. But I'd wear a t-shirt over, with a towel wrapped around and shorts on. ha ha ha

something about calling today "Topless and free" makes me think I might need bail money.

@Deidre
if you're in Cannes today my guess for tomorrow is Monaco(ok I google Earthed Cannes to see what was near by)

The book i'd want to win is Red Kiss

For your books I may go topless... but only after a few "Le Fleur Vert"s and a cute cabana boy (or two) within eyeshot ;)

Okay. Just saying. Topless I could do, but most everyone would probably wish it were otherwise. Regardless, it would be worth it to get books!

@Deidre
oops Red Fire is the book I'd want to win.I have Red Kiss

Hmm, what would I do to win a free book from Gena and Deidre... maybe take you guys to a nice dinner here in nyc =]

Well you can count me out for the toplessness. Deidre just checked out your website. Butterfly tattoo and Parallel Seduction sound like absolutely amazing books

Hmm...Dont think topless is a good look for me. But way to go ladies. ;) Sounds like youre having fun.

I'm not so cruel as to subject the innocent population to the sight of my naked body...

Or maybe I'm just too shy to do that. LOL!

And either way, I don't tan -- I burn. Is red fashionable?

i want to win one of your books just graduated from college looking for a job so dont know when im going to have money to buy books again so help with my boredom this summer thanks

OMG! I want to unzip that man's pants. Too much clothing for the beach! I will be drinking a Le Fleur Vert (The Green Flower)very soon. Sound yummy!!!

Okay I'll start slugging down a lot of those "Green Flowers" so I can get up the nerve if that's what it takes. Save me a cabana boy, please!

Hmm, maybe you'll try Rio de Janeiro, the Copacabana, or maybe the beach at Ipanema? All I know is I wish I were jet setting around with you.

Hmmm...I'd have to really think about this...I think if I were to go topless at the beach I would definitely within 3 minutes end up being the only one at the beach. Wouldn't want to ruin everybody's fun so I guess I'll leave my top on!! But if flashing would get me a book I do that!!!! lol

Well, I'm pretty sure it'd get me a stern talking to... but I'd totally wear a t-shirt that said on one side "Buy Gena Showalter's books!" and the other side would say "Check out Deidre Knight!" and I'd have face paint that said "Go Deidre and Gena!"

Maybe it'd get me more than a stern talking to...perhaps walking papers :) I'd do it on my day off (I work in a bookstore) and maybe then I could get away with it.

Oh and I would spare y'all the torture of seeing me topless, so that's gotta be worth several free books, easy. ;)

What would I do for one of your books??? Well, I would pay out hard earned cash for them :) and do on frequent occasions. I already have Red Kiss and cannot wait for the next instalment!! And I have all of the Atlantis series out so far and am waiting patiently (er maybe not lol) for the next book there as well. As to the lords of the underworld, I have not started that series yet, but perhaps with a free one to start with, I may become as enamored of this series as I am of the other :).

Rebecca

Hello ladies, great music and cocktail to get us in the mood. No topless sunbathing for me (sigh of relief from the crowd)lol. Is there such a thing as 150 sunblock???

You'd think at 24 with a decent body I'd be okay sunbathing topless, but I think I was born in the wrong era. My Victorian sense of modesty would make me way too embarrassed. However, lying out in the French Riviera and macking on cute cabanna boys I'm up for ANY day : ). Surrealstar@yahoo.com

You ladies are cracking me up! Too much fun! I feel the need to come up with something even more outrageous... :) LOL.

Jog in place topless?? Ewwww, don't watch that image.

It is scorching hot here in GA, btw, so the topless thing does have a certain amount of appeal at least in my bedroom!! LOL!

Mmmmm...that drink was good!:) Thanks for sharing it.

Oh, and I like the t-shirt with Gena on front and De on back idea!! :)

While I have few qualms about being in a bikini after 2 pregnancies, I don't believe I'd ever be comfortable enough to forgo the top portion. Though in cyber world, I could be convinced for the proper amount of Champagne and Frenchmen serving said Champagne.

I'd love to win some books too. Of course. Thanks for the diversion for the day. C'est tres manifique.

Definitely would not go topless or bottomless!! I would be the color of a tomato in no time flat. I would be a good person to run back and forth and get you ladies anything that you needed though. :) You two are awesome and thanks for the chance to participate in this.

I'd go topless but the kids might see and I'd really like my sons to get married someday.(Can't scare them off the whole idea)

go top-less for a chance to win a book? No problem!!! Anything for the books!

Topless? Me? On a public beach, that's pretty much a guarantee for mass blindness, so I don't think ya want me going there :D But after a couple of rum punches, all bets are off....

I use to go braless - does that count lol.

Since this is a cyber/virtual vacation; I have no problem losing my top for the kiss of the
sun;-) The drink, Le Fleur Vert sounds lovely. Champagne is so decadent, but it is the French Riviera after all.
I would love to win one of the books and if that means I need to cover all the ghastly white skin from a long Midwest winter I will!. LOL Thanks for the vacation break. I feel so relaxed…Please have the cabana boy bring another round of Le Fleur Verts.

Hmmm, to win a free book from either of you authoresses I would prepare a bathtub each filled with water, bubbles, and rose petals! Oh, yes, with beefcake attending to both your needs!!

hmmmm. Let's see while I dont think id just do ANYTHING for a signed book I can dream with the best of 'em. I would so love to meet up with both of you at Sherlocks Book Store in Tennessee and join you all on your Grecian tour and we can hit the hot spots and slather on the SPF and let the boys keep fillin 'em up ;) Thanks for all of the great reads. Keep bringing them on!!

The eye candy at this party is truly superb!

I like to be sassy by going topless but giving that shy over the shoulder pose to get them salivating!

I don't think anyone wants to see me naked right now. Just give me a year at the gym. Which I will be starting soon to get ready for my wedding next year.

I have to say the eye-candy today is really, really nice. :)

Hey Gena and Deidre, I am always late to these things...why do I even bother to sleep? So the French Riviera...wish I was there...Gena, be careful out there, a full body burn can kill you...unless you want the attention of all those cabana boys...poor Deidre, it seems like they are not giving you the time of day...don't worry, your time will come...Gena has to get up at some point...hahaha...

You two women are truly brave...what would I do to win two books signed by authors that I like...I mean LOVE....begging is not beneath me, nor is crawling on my hands and knees...lol...

Have fun today ladies...I wonder where the plane lands tomorrow...Deidre, you have to go to Greece...just take me with you...I will check in again later...

Peace and love,
Paula R.

Hmmm... 5 months pregnant... the girls are definitely looking the best they've ever looked right now. ha! Alas I would prefer NOT to spend the night in jail and have to explain to my husband why I needed to be bailed out in time to be at our 'find out the gender' ultrasound tomorrow. The second he heard it was for 'more books' I think he'd leave me there. Perhaps suggesting I name this one after a character from the book I win would be better... less... illegal! ha!

Hey Deidre, if I could win any of your books, could I say both? I would definitely want the first in your series...just to start me off...I still think you should go to Greece, you are close enough now...hahahahaa...


Hey Jill, why aren't you on this trip? Just wanted to say hi...

Peace and love,
Paula R.

I don't think the world is ready for me to go topless!
I would still love to win books.

I will just say congratulations since I don't think I'm willing to lose any clothes.

I think I'll wear both the bikini top and bottom.

Topless for books? In a second. Don't have to think twice about it. Topless for some beads at mardi gras? No way.

Haha! You girls are hilarious! Loving the commentary on how your days are going!!

If my husband had anything to say about it, I'd be topless all the time but I'm afraid I'd scare someone if I went topless.

Have fun and keep the drinks coming. Gena, remember Sunblock does wonders!!

Heather

Since I have had children and they tend to ruin body's, I'll pass on any kind of swimsuit activity. Thats why I stick to my romance novels, I can imagine myself as one of the fabulous women surrounded by wonderful men! I like this cyber travel idea too, thats up my alley with a 6 and 4 year old!

Pasties, ladies! They make going topless fun!

hey heck ya!!! lets do it!!

Would love to win one of your signed books. Whatever it takes to get the win! Thats what will be done!

I have to say that I'm so very glad that guy decided to go topless because I really enjoy looking at him.

i'm in for anything as long as it's in the french riviera... LOL

Nobody wants to see me topless and free, trust me.

Have fun in the Riviera though!

About time I got a tan for the summer. Bikini bottoms only!!

I would love to win, but I can say that I would go topless, my kid ruined me, but more power to you for doing it.

I'd be the one sketching the nudes...with a painted on mustache and dark glasses.

My nude days are done...unless I'm drinking.

I like the sound of today's drink...it seems both flirty and refreshing. Can't wait to see what you are drinking tomorrow....
- Bondgirl44

Oh wait...i forgot to mention what I'd do...well, since everyone else is going topless, i guess I'll kick it winnie the pooh style- red half top and not bottoms!!!!LOL
Bondgirll44

Topless and Free? Are you guys at a nude beach somewhere? I hope there is alot of good eye candy where your at.

Hi Deidre I would like to win Red Fire.

Hmmm...well now, I'd definitely love to win a free book, but me going topless might just be a little scary to some people! HAHA! At least I've got a sense of humor about it! I think I'd be the one doing karaoke in the sand while you all are served drinks by incredibly handsome men!!! Now what would I sing?...hmmm...seeing as though I absolutely love Maddox and Ashlyn's story and would adore a signed copy of The Darkest Night...I think "Far Away" by Nickleback might be appropriate: "...On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand..."
Thanks for the opportunity to win a free book! Y'all keep rockin' out those books!

Amy xo

I would definitely go topless if Lucien was there serving those delicious drinks! Your books are amazing! Can't wait for the next one!
Cyndi

As much as I would love to win a couple of books - I don't think I could topless - unless - I was drunk, or I one of Gena's LOTU decided that I would be his personal submissive and he required me. Then I might. :)

Long day at work - not very original.

Hello ladies! Big fan!

I'm topless as I type. Er, not really. I'm not alone, so being topless at the kitchen table would be a disaster. Well, it'd be a disaster anywhere lol. There's a lot of things I'd do for a copy of one of your books, but going topless is not one of them at the moment :D

interesting drink... looking forward to trying it.

Topless? No problem! (big words now anyway).

Wow. . .how far would I go?! Hmmm well Gena already knows I (and another NYC fan) were willing take down all of Javit Center security in an effort to circumnavigate the "part of the industry" clause in May. But then I realized that my son having to visit me in Riker's would have irreparably damaged him as a young man LOL! And the explanation to family would have bordered on being an episode of SNL! Sooo. . .I have only my worshipful devotion and plot to kidnap the men of Thunder Down for you! I mean it’s only kidnapping if I get caught with the men in my trunk outside of Nevada right?

Hey Deirdre and Gena!

I'm going to guess the next stop on the tour is Cabo San Lucas, in Mexico.
Very beautiful beaches ther and very sexy cabana boys too!
I'd love to win Red Kiss, I loved Red Fire!

My verification word is impal, I'd like for a cabana boy to "impal" me-LOL

Now the best question is for Lillie A... just about what she wouldn't do for free books. Muahahahahahah.

Yeah, suuuure Keeshe, You'd be the one hiding.

Topless sunbathing might not be in my future but it sounds like you two are having fun! I'd lend you my sunblock though!

WOW, the French Riviera...how chic. What would I do to win a book from either of you lovely gals...well...let me ponder...you're all on a topless beach, soooooooooooooo...I think i'd give it a shot for a signed book from one of you gals. So sign me up!!!:)

French Rivera?? WOO HOO all this skin! The men here are absolutely GORGOUS!!! I am have soo much fun with you all!!

Topless? Maybe if I had enough to drink, actually if I did have enough to drink, lol! I don't remember this, hmmmm I wonder why, but I did take the shirt/bra off at a party once or so I was told. My reason? My friends said I told them I was too hot, lol! So, wait for me, I'm on my way to the party! I have been wanting to visit France, so why not! Smiles!!!!

Could you be going to Spain next, Majorca maybe?

I'm thinking if I'm going to go far to get a book from you, I should be willing to do something that would benefit you. Like find out who the sexy hunk in the picture is and work out a deal to send him to you lovely ladies as your personal massuese.

hope you don't sun burned.

Love the beefcake!

I think I'll spare everyone's eyes and pass on going topless, but... I sure would love my own cabana boy and one of your books. Am I being too greedy? my guess for where you'll be tomorrow is... the Greek Isles. and if I were so fortunate to win, I would love a copy of Red Kiss (there's just something about River that I can't resist) or any of the LOTU books. Thanks for the party.
:-)

I'll provide the entertainment and go topless as well!!

I wanna free book! I have no idea what craziness to do to get one though...how about I bake you some chocolate chip cookies?

Hmmm, how far would I go to win a free SIGNED book? It'd be a huge sacrifice, but I'd be willing to take my Gerry Butler calendar down for a whole week. And he's scowling this month, too. I so love it when he scowls. That and Gena's beefcakes are all that get me through some days :-) BTW, Deidre, GREAT covers on your books!

that is a beach i would have no problem going to with men that look like that

MMMM, on that drink! I remember topless in my own yard MANY years ago when I wanted a fuller tan (ouch, warning it burns the first few times). Now I can't even go out in the sun :( But these pics will do for the next best thing!

fun post. Wish I was on a beach but bummer I have to work. great prizes and I would love to win.

Topless sunbathing? I think I'll skip that, topless or not. I burn too easily. But I might go to swim topless.

Went topless on Manly Beach (yes, it was filled with many manly men, lol!) in Australia back in my crazy college days...and will willingly do so again in the virtual sense to win books from you two! (Would also do it if the cabana boy was a prize. Ahem. ;))

To win a free book from you two, I would not read any other author for a year!!! That's how amazing you are!!

Topless..uh NO. It would be like everyone on the beach had bad sushi. So I have no idea what I would do. Can't rely on the drinks for courage.. I'm allergic to alcohol.. could keep ya laughing..
anyway.. tip for after the sun.. vinegar water will take the pain/redness/and heat out of sunburn & usually prevent peeling..
would just love any book from you 2.. the guys have on too many clothes.. have fun..

Topless? Not a problem. I'm very comfortable with my body. Now, about those books.....

I would love to win, going topless...why not ;) As long as I am not the only one

Ohh I wish I was in the French Rivera especially if theres more like the picture you posted there. I dont think I would be brave enough to go topless though.

I would love to win books! Especially from Gena! Can't wait for this years new releases! And topless, eh I think not!

Hey, guys! I'd love to entered in the contest. I'll leave the nudity to those who dare!

Hehe, sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun! It's hard to imagine when it's chucking down with rain here in London... :(

You ladies sure do know how to throw a party! Thank you for sharing your fun and drinks with us. And keep those pictures of those hot men coming...
