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.
No funny business this week, ladies.
This is the second title in the Curio Vignettes series, follow-up stories to the novel Curio.
What a difference a season makes.
In the spring, Caroly arrived on Didier Pedra’s doorstep in Paris as so many women have—ready to buy an evening’s pleasure with a gorgeous man skilled in the craft of seduction. She was a trembling virgin then, but so much has changed. It’s summer now, and she no longer pays for his company…nor suffers from the delusion that he’s as perfect as he seems. He’s a shut-in with a crippling fear of the outdoors, but he’s also the kindest and most passionate man she’s ever known.
Having grown bolder with every visit and carnal lesson, Caroly’s ready to venture where she’s always feared—into the mysterious chest at the foot of Didier’s bed, filled with the accouterments to cater to the appetites of a hundred different women. Dozens of toys offering infinite delights…all hers to enjoy tonight.

*finger guns* I’ve used one of the covers in this series before… very good stuff. :)

WHERE ARE MY ALIENS? WOE WOE WOE! I count on you to keep me swimming in intergalactic hotties every week, you know.
However, I accept this one-nipped man in lieu of my sexy sci-fi men. He has abs. I like abs.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 27, 2012 at 9:04 am
I CAN NEVER PLEASE YOU.
This is good, but… I miss the underwear man from this series.
Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal November 27, 2012 at 10:47 am
WHAT? You pleased me greatly when you created those forms for BoB. Those were BADASS! *is pleased*
Mary @ BookSwarm November 27, 2012 at 6:44 am
That man is very…intense, isn’t he? I kind of need a lightly hairy path to heaven rather than his over-waxed chest, though.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 27, 2012 at 9:04 am
He is intent on seducing you, Mary.
Jenny November 27, 2012 at 9:09 am
Wait. His name is Didier? Seriously? That made me snort. His name is Didier and he diddles women for a living. WIN! I need to read it for that alone.
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 27, 2012 at 9:12 am
Oh, Jenny! I MISSED that. Thank you for bringing his name to my attention. Maybe Didier is his prostitute name. o.O
Jenny November 27, 2012 at 9:54 am
You. Are. Welcome. What if his prostitute name was in fact “The Diddler”. Like The Riddler from Batman, only dirtier ;-)

see, this guy has some scruff, hot cover for sure. My cover today, the guy’s scruff is not-so-hot… Book Savvy Babe
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 27, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Just a wee bit of scruff, but it is very nice. :)
Felicia November 27, 2012 at 9:47 am
I love the scruff on the guy! That being said, I think I might be a little intimidated by his chest :)
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 27, 2012 at 4:27 pm
I bet the longer you stare at his chest, the less intimidating it gets.
Mariana November 27, 2012 at 5:42 pm
This guy is always a good choice. He’s so hot and I’ve been seeing him a lot. Great pick!
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 27, 2012 at 6:57 pm
He is a good choice, isn’t he. Mmm. :)
Karen November 28, 2012 at 11:11 am
I love this series. He’s even hotter after you read the books :-)
Amanda @ On a Book Bender November 28, 2012 at 12:58 pm
He gets HOTTER? I may have to check it out. :)
