Man Candy Monday

I love it when I read something that inspires me. Today's Man Candy Monday is brought to you courtesy of my muse for today's blog, Silent Partner by author, Renee Vincent's.

Those of you who hit my blog last Friday will know why I picked gorgeous man for today. If you missed my Friday 56 you can go here and read my review of 'Silent Partner'.

When I first read the description of Vincent's character, Grayson Anders, I immediately thought of actor, model and dancer Gilles Marini.

Once you've read the book, you will see why I chose Gilles. Just looking at his videos from Dancing with the Stars made him an immediate contender.

You only need watch him dance the Argentine Tango with dancer Cheryl Burke to see how fluid and sensual his moves are, yet he is completely in command of the dance.

The passion and concentration on his face shows how fully engaged he is in the dance. Bellisimo!

Excerpt from - Silent Partner - Renee Vincent

'The dark complexion of his bare back and limbs was a striking contrast to the soft yellow Egyptian cotton sheets tangled around his lower half.'

I first saw Gilles in all his glory in the role of Dante in the movie Sex in the City where he wore practically nothing, which was fine by me.

The shower scene in SITC alone is worth picking up this movie. Mmm if only you knew what is below this picture frame...yummy just like the man himself!

There is a still shot of that nude shower scene... but you won't see it on this blog!

Gilles has a soulful sexiness and it is easy to see why Gilles is a perfect choice for Man Candy Monday.

In fact, he is a perfect choice for a writer's muse.

I'll have to get right on that...as soon as I am done ogling Marini.










I think I will just let you all drool over this feast for the eyes.
