Seven Hotties a-swimming!
Well, two hotties, any way!
So which hunk Louisa Bacio picked is your favorite?
Bad Boy
with a Heart (or Not)
Warning:
If you’re not a regular watcher of the series Once Upon a Time, and don’t want
any spoilers, don’t read on. Just enjoy the gorgeous hotties.
A good
many of us like the bad boys. You know, those sexy, wild men the right mate
might be able to tame. Umm, baby. And Once
Upon a Time does such a good job of making their rebels oh-so-delectable.
The
television series mixes a fairy tale dimension with a modern setting. Two
characters blend together with similarities in physique and mannerisms, and
both act as a potential love interest for Emma, the adult daughter of Snow
White and Prince Charming.
The Huntsman (Jamie Dornan) – The man given
the job to cut out Snow White’s heart for the Evil Queen.
Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) – As in
Captain Hook. Who knew the dastardly pirate and foe of Peter Pan could be so
delicious! This rendition does him justice, a la Captain Jack Sparrow.
Hot
Traits:
The Scruff – Usually, I’m not one for
beards, but both the Huntsman and Hook rock the facial hair. Yes, I’d be more
than willing to risk burn marks wherever they may leave ’em.
The Lanky Physique – Line the twosome up, and they
appear to match. The actors who play the characters also are only one year
apart – 31 & 32.
Irish Blokes – Yep, what are the odds the two
of them hail from Ireland? Suave and sexy, cut from the same genetic pool, and
with accents, too.
Bad Boy with a Heart – If you’re familiar with the
fairy tale of Snow White, the Huntsman is not actually able to rip out the fair
maiden’s heart. Instead, he brings back the queen the heart of a deer. In
season one, the Huntsman/Sheriff falls for Emma, and it doesn’t end well.
In
season two, viewers have seen glimpses of goodness in Hook. He’s drawn to Emma,
but she’s not quite sure she should accept his advances as sincere.
The Twist of a Wrist
The Evil
Queen, aka Regina, the stepmother of Snow White, and her mother Cora possess a
nasty habit of ripping the hearts from unsuspecting victims. (So similar to what
happens when a romance goes bad.) As the series progresses, we learn the
victims actually can live through the process. Oh, yes, that means they are
heartless and unfeeling. In one flashback scene, viewers see Cora holding
Hook’s beating heart. Did she replace it, or keep it as a token? We don’t know
the answer.
Surely,
it’s not Emma’s fate to love two heartless men.
Tell me: Do you have a favorite? Can you
pick between these fairytale hotties?

Here’s a
look at a new release:
The Vampire, The Witch & The
Werewolf 4: The Wolfe Pack
As
the guard and a dominant member of the Wolfe Pack, Viktor isn’t too sure of the
city-dwelling stranger who comes trespassing. With the lack of female
werewolves, Viktor soon sees Silver as a potential mate. Too bad she’s already
spoken for by a bloodsucker.
Trapped between worlds, Silver’s faced with
choosing between the lover she’s known most of her life, and the budding
relationship with Viktor, where her future may lay. It’ll take some sweet
talking and a whole lot of loving for Silver to find her place within the pack.
Available

Romance, Amazon, Barnes&Noble

Until
next time,
Louisa Bacio
Whoo-hoo! Thanks so much for letting me play!
ReplyDeleteThe Huntsman. Absolutely. Terrific post, Louisa - as usual!
ReplyDeleteHook!!! He's not only delish, but also a bad boy...who often shows his softer, kinder side. YUM!
ReplyDeleteYou know it's really not fair that I have to choose just one of them. However, if I really have to I'd pick Hook. There's just something about him that draws me in and makes me want to be oh so bad. ;)
ReplyDelete(Just for the record though, I still say I'd rather have them both.)
Every time I look at that photo of Graham, I swoon ... and then I think of Hook. So fickle.
ReplyDeleteI never could resist an Irish rogue, so it's a tough choice, but oh, that Colin O'Donogue has the devil dancin' in his eyes, so I'm gonna have to go with Hook. Love that show!
ReplyDeleteLove your description Linda -- "devil dancin' in his eyes!"
ReplyDeleteThe Huntsman is adorable but Hook for sure! Gotta love a bad boy!! And the accent is fabulous...Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMy official winner was Shay -- no one left email addy's, but I know how to contact!
