It’s that time again — Tuesday! — which means I attempt to brighten your day with half-naked men. Read on at your own risk. Top Off Tuesdays was started by Felicia, Christi and me. It is where we (and you!) share the book covers that make us swoon. Head over to Felicia’s blog to share your Top Off Tuesday link or to see what everyone has posted.
My alternative title for this book is: A shifter, two moobs, and an eye.
Mal Ton Adoha, a powerful shapeshifter, has spent his life fighting for the freedom of his people. He is ruthless and unconventional, willing to use any weapon at his disposal, including his sexuality. The last thing he expects when he rescues a group of humans is a spirited beauty who sets his senses on fire. His life is complicated enough without a contrary female, but he is tantalized by her smell, her taste, the sleekness of her skin. His body demands her touch. There is no other option-he will become her Master. Years in the military have taught Lorelle to be tough, ambitious. She is determined to resist Mal Ton regardless of how badly she burns for his touch. She was dragged to another world against her will. Now she refuses to be a pawn in their irrational war. Lorelle knows she shouldn’t trust Mal Ton, but she’s drawn to him again and again. Only in his arms can she make sense of the conflict. Only together can they hope to survive.

*stares* Two moobs indeed. Sign me up. I’ll take a dozen of them. Gift wrapped. Please.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 8:19 am
A dozen moobs? I’ll give you 14. They’re called the troll kings.
Sarah (saz101) October 2, 2012 at 1:07 am
Bahahaha! Caption: “With moobs like these, he don’t need no bullet prood vest.”
WHY THE HELL DOES HE HAVE A HOSLTER, A GUN, AND NO SHIRT?
And OMFG. HIS *waves hand* LUMPY BITS ARE FREAKING TERRIFYING. MAKE IT STOP. FOR THE LOVE OF GODIVA, AMANDA, MAKE IT STOP! *sobs*
That which is seen cannot be unseen >__<
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 8:21 am
*skips around* *laughs* *asks him to shake his moobs*
Sarah (@sazbah) October 3, 2012 at 5:04 am
Ick. Even his chin is creepy.
Sam October 2, 2012 at 1:56 am
Woah. Bulgy.
Can’t stop staring though.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 8:23 am
Heh. :) It does have that can’t-look-away quality.
Christi Snow October 2, 2012 at 8:52 am
I don’t know if it’s the eye or the moobs, but this cover is definitely mesmerizing…and I’m not sure it’s a good thing…
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 9:34 am
Ha. That’s what I like to hear. ;)
Felicia October 2, 2012 at 9:36 am
MOOBS FTW!
That dude seriously has enough muscle for like 4 regular gym guys. He reminds of the men I see on ID just generally not on the right side of the law.
Plus Sarah is right—Holster and no shirt? hmmmm Then again if he was less muscley I would approve LOL (Yes I am judgemental in a totally unfair fashion)
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 10:16 am
Top Off Tuesday encourages judgments about the cover.
Speaking of which, I’m thinking his moobs have special bullet stopping power because they’re so muscley.
Felicia October 2, 2012 at 11:05 am
That would explain soooooo much! :)
Jenny October 2, 2012 at 9:38 am
Whoa. Those are some intense moobs. His moobs are so much bigger than my boobs. Not fair. DAMN YOU SHIRTLESS WONDER!
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 10:17 am
Do you suppose that moob envy is a thing?
Jenny October 2, 2012 at 12:41 pm
I think it’s definitely a thing. I mean look at his. How could you not be envious? And you know what’s even more unfair? The more he works out, the bigger his moobs get. The more I work out, the more my chest shrinks. I guess I’ll just have to forgo on the working out in the interest of boob preservation. Obviously.
Kristilyn (Reading in Winter) October 2, 2012 at 6:15 pm
That is a LOT of muscle. I mean, I’m thinking the muscle just deteriorated the shirt he was wearing. And I agree with Sarah — who needs a safety vest when you have moobs like that!
Though what’s with the CRAZY EYE in the background? Creepy!
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 6:38 pm
Shirt-destroying moobs? *nods thoughtfully* You may be onto something there.
Mary @ BookSwarm October 2, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Um…did he special-order that holster? Because I’m practically positive a regular holster wouldn’t fit around his…moobs. I’m picturing him standing with his arms at his sides–except his arms won’t lie flat. Like one of those Guido thugs employed by mobsters. My mind, she’s a-racin’.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 7:29 pm
I bet that holster is a moob size XXL.
Ruby October 2, 2012 at 8:30 pm
*hides from the moobs* Those are really scary. And not in a sexy-scary way, but a scary-scary way.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 2, 2012 at 10:51 pm
*marks Ruby as not having moob envy*
Sarah (saz101) October 3, 2012 at 5:05 am
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY O__O
Vanessa The Jeep Diva October 3, 2012 at 8:22 am
He’s got the moobs like Jabba! That dude is flippin huge! They don’t make clothing big enough to fit him.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 3, 2012 at 8:32 am
“He’s got the moobs like Jabba!”
Bwahahahaha! Best line EVER, Vanessa!
Mad Scientist October 9, 2012 at 8:56 am
My son. A gun. Boobs. Yuck!

Amanda @ On a Book Bender October 9, 2012 at 9:58 am
Moooooobs. ;)
