Grand Opening - Having Breakfast with Eric Dane
Natascha gets out of the pool, after toweling off and putting on a sarong joins Eric and Leontine at the breakfast-table. She pulls up a bar-stool and set’s herself down for some ‘breaky’ “Great juice Eric!”
Ladies, let me start by asking who occupies this incredible mansion?
Leontine: “Eric, you know how to whip up one tasty breakfast *licks jam of fingers* Normally, it is me, Natascha, Pearl and Marissa but we’ll invite guests to party with us here. That’s the fun part, we have a pool, a garden full of secluded areas, a sun room, a play room *waggles eyebrows* and much more, so we can go all out! ”
Eric fills his glass with juice and looks at the women across the table, “I’m going to have fun with you both right here in the kitchen if you don’t mind. There are just a few questions I want to ask you so that both new and old visitors get to know you a bit more.” Leontine rolls her eyes, “McSteamy, like nobody already knows us! We’ve been around, since like 2006, it’s not like we’re a couple of young grasshoppers in the genre and community!”
Eric laughs out loud and humor makes his eyes get a wicked gleam, “Leontine, but I have never asked you ladies questions and my mind just wants to know a few things.” Natascha frowns…
“Hmm Leontine, I think we should set up some ground rules for these questions, I don’t like that twinkle in his eye’s one bit…”
Eric “Tough luck sweetheart, my game, my rules…. So you better set your booty down again and get ready for my questions…”
Describe your sister in five words.
Leontine: “Humorous, creative, stubborn, loyal and loving. (<- I hate to be short and to the point!)”
Natascha: “I wonder, is there spanking involved if we don’t stick to the question?”
Eric: “That depends on how much pleasure you take from it.”
Laughing out loud Natascha adds: “Eric, love of my life, you cannot torture me like that!” mumbling to herself: ‘describing my sister in five words, like that will cover it all.’ “ok here goes, giving it my best try: Sweet, impulsive, wickedly naughty, loyal and loveable.”
If you could have breakfast in bed with any man, fictional, actor, anyone, who would that be?
Leontine: Eric, you do know that my bed is big enough for at least a few men and I’m a fictional hussy *grin* A few new ones have captured my heart and I will invite Phantom (from DEVIATIONS series of Chris Owens) his deviant humor and ways pushes my major buttons :) - Jamie Fraser (from THE OUTLANDER series) nothing beats a man with a *rowr* brogue to deliver a lingual orgasm and Quinn (from Shiloh Walker’s BROKEN) – I lurv the tortured hero!
Natascha: “I’m not giving you the satisfaction…”
Eric chuckles.
“To be honest, with 3 men already holding up a space in my bed, I’m keeping my other spot for my future husband to be. However up to when that memorable event will happen, I wouldn’t mind sharing my breakfast toast with either Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Rafaello Balzo, both for different reasons. And if you look deep into my heart I won’t say no to Jeroen van Koningsbrugge either mwoahahaha. Sorry Leontine, I just had to mention him, because well let’s face it, if a man can make you smile and laugh out loud, that’s a man to cherish!”
Girl, that is not the ways of man-candy I taught you!! *gives Natascha a stern look of an older sister* I mean Jeffrey Dean Morgan, oh yes, just looking at him in GREY’S ANATOMY and SUPERNATURAL he’s all bleeding heart, dimples and sad smiles *sigh* Rafaello Balzo, oh yes, those abs trigger the need for some whipped cream and he rises my body temperature instantly and then…Jeroen van Koningsbrugge = cold shower. I should’ve added weird like only you can be when Eric asked to describe you in five words, and I say this with all the love I have for ya!! (((hugs)))
“Yea but sis, I love the all bleeding heart, dimples and sad smiles, it’s THE way to my heart!”
Eric starts to look at Natascha all star-crossed lover like, but all it gets him is a raised eye-brow.
“Anyway, I don’t claim a lot of men but Rafaello is one gorgeous alpha of a man! Jeroen is in no such way a cold shower, he is incredibly funny and easy on the eyes. It’s not the looks but inside that counts!!!” *shakes head as if to say oh-oh what am I to do with you*
Leontine laughs out loud, “Wasn’t wildly naughty one of your words to describe me?? I guess this is one of those moments.”
Romance is…?
Leontine: “Oh man, this is a tough one and making me all serious. Romance is…*frowns* In books I love it when the stakes are almost insurmountable high and the hero and heroine still make it to a happily ever after. In books romance is small gestures speaking of intense emotions, feeling an absolute passionate hunger for each other, an attractions that is an undeniable force and romance is claiming the other when nothing makes sense but you go with your gut feeling.
In real life I feel that romance is baring your darkest secrets, showing your best and worst, sharing your deepest desires, and knowing that the other one will do his/her utmost best to accept and love all of you. It is enjoying a sunset together where your hubby squeezes your hand and receiving a hug when you need one but haven’t asked for it. So much can speak of romance and I hope to always keep recognizing it in both the small and the bigger gestures.”
Natascha: “Hinting for ways to woo us right? Hmmm should I bare my soul on this question or let men ponder about how to romance me? To me I think romance can be found back in the littlest things in life. Making a cup of tea when you are sick, opening a door for you, know how you feel before you feel it, things like that. To me one rose says more than a dozen, and a home-made ring says more than the most expensive diamond wedding-ring. It’s the thought and work put into it that makes it more special. I think romance can differ in each relationship you have, because the connection you have with a loved one is different.
Which picture in your man-candy folder describes sexy in capital letters?
Leontine: There are no words...you just enjoy the scenery with this one *grin*
“Oh, sis, I remember him from a Dark-Hunter profile, I love his face, that look, he makes me go a bit feral and rip his clothes from his a$$ to find out if he has that tawny skin all over those fins muscles :)”
You’re stranded on an island and the only bag that survived contains which five items?
Leontine: My e-reader filled to capacity with e-books, of course it was wrapped in a water resistant casing. Gawd, I feel so sneaky right now *grin* Tampons, I’m practical, I can still remember the scene where Brooke Shields was swimming and suddenly visited by Aunt Flo in BLUE LAGOON. I’ve got to have sunscreen factor 200 or else I’ll burn alive, summertime for my skin means; White – getting some sunshine – going tomato red – and after a few days it turns in to an off white skin color. A clean pair of underwear…is it me or am I horribly practical? And a device with a panic button which will conjure up a survival of the fittest he-man who can rescue me out of situations like killing or fishing for my own dinner, building a fire, making a hut out of palm leaves and dealing with natives – somehow I keep having images of BLUE LAGOON *frowns*
Natascha: “God girl you are so practical. Tampons, exactly I would have a pack which contains an endless supply of them because, ieuwhhhh I wouldn’t want to go without them! A knife, being practical here too, because you never know which gorgeous Alpha Male is passing by and not only is a knife handy for cutting stuff but don’t forget the shaving!!!! I mean if I’m going to be a bush bush lady doesn’t mean I’m a *uhm* bush bush lady hahahaha. I’m saving on the sunblock as I don’t need it, so I can fit in a laptop with wifi and am not forgetting the generator with foot pedals, I need energy to be able to charge my laptop.
As I am taking a leap of fate with hoping at least one Alpha Male is on that Island, I mean the question did not state it was a deserted island… (grinning cheekily at Eric for not thinking about that little factor, but I am willing to consider the fact it is an island far far away from the everyday life ;-) ) I’m most definitely bringing my blanket, I can’t go without it.”
“Natascha!! OMG, now I have images in my mind of bush bush ladies and for some reason humming shaka zulu song. I so need to scrub that image from my mind…”
Natascha starts singing *badly I might add* “In the jungle the mighty jungle….”
Eric Dane coughs and laughs at the same time, “Well ladies, this has definitely been very enlightening and fun to do, which leaves me only with the announcement of the giveaway.”
*drumroll please*

@Pearl - sorry sweety, he was the one available on short notice ;-) Leontine and myself were sitting in a café talking about this introduction post and how it would be nice to have breakfast with a hot guy.

Ladies: CONGRATS!! Your new site it lovely! I look forward to group posts, hot pics and fun book reviews. Mar/Pearl - I don't know how they could have the interview without you!!
One interesting note... Although your blog is in English, the "google" parts (like this comment form) are in Dutch? (a language that I don't know) But Google is the same, no matter what language, so I can follow along just fine!
Good heaven's, I am gasping for breath.
That interview and question and answer was so fast and involved I had to read it three times !
Are the rest of the Grey's Anatomy gang also coming to visit.
Go easy on the Shaka Zulu,doll, he wasn't a real sensitive ladies man you know.
Great site.

Giving all a warm embrace!
Congrats on the new site! I love the colors! Oh and the picture of Eric Dane is just what I needed this morning *sigh*. I love Dr. Sloan :)
Congratulations on the new look, ROOB! Thanks for keeping me in the loop and letting me know you'd updated everything, Leontine and Natascha. I so enjoyed this post and your wry senses of humor. Very fun. Man candy is the perfect way to start the day.

Congrats ladies!! The new ROOB place looks great! :) I see you had a blast with Eric *sigh* *drool* Ah well, you know that I'm married to his Dutch twin, right? But still, Eric has a special place in my heart ;)
You girls made me lol with your practical side when asked about the five DI items! :D The ereader and laptop with generator are on my list too *g*
Congrats on your new group blog - I love Eric Bane (I remember when I first laid eyes on him in Grey's Anatomy) and I love the three men with holding space in ur bed :D Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a fav too ..:D
I'm looking forward to many future sexy posts on ur blog
Great new site !
Thanks for the hard work to keep us up to date with the realms of romance !

I love the look of your new site. It's beautiful and very elegant and easy to get around.
The interview and the candy was great. I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
sstrode@scrtc.com
Adore the new look (even though I never once saw the other one ;D). The interview made me grin and raise my brows till the end - made my day.
@Natascha - I do believe I know the name of the male you chose that describes sexy in capitals.
Loved both your definitions on romance!
Love the new site! Congrats! I truly enjoyed your interview.Reminded me of many wonderful, fun conversations that I use to have with my own sister. I have decided that Rafaello Balzo would definitely be 1 of my 5 if on an island! Woot!

Love the new look. While the young guys were awesome nothing is hotter that Eric Dane's etched in stone bod. Gotta love "Denny"'s unshaved face. Ahhhh

Hi there!
wow, ladies I like your posts more and more - ever thought about writing a book? I def would buy and read it!
congrats on the new blog - so far I really like it but I will spend more time here to be sure *gg*
wish you all the best,
Ina
@INCiDent you do??? Can yuo whisper in my ear? I would love to (g)oogle him some more *wicked grin*
@Lissa LMAO he is one man who can fill up the empty space on an island far far away
@Shadylady hey girl!!!! Indeed long time no see but always great fun to have you around! How have you been?
@Ina Writing is one of my big hobbies and maybe a fanfic or fic will end up partially on this blog, with a monthly update or so, but maybe it's something we might consider for the future *hmmmm the to-do list gets longer and longer mwoahahaha*
Hey girsl! I stumbled here following one of Leontine tweets and became a follower! The design looks great: bright and girly and whata riot you 4 are!! This interview had me laughing so much (except when I was ogling the sexy pics.. yumm!)
Congrats on the new launch and please keep us entertained for much longer! :-)
Stella
You ladies are the fun-est gals on the PLANET and when it comes to picking yummy hunk honeys......well there ain't no better than y'all. I really hope you do have a Cover Hussy Club. Just think how many NEW followers you will get just from the name!!!LOL
@Natascha
Been doing good - though busy....mostly. *wg* at least found a good way to support ye olde book habit by reviewing. Outside of that, had-since about November-wound up with a lot of proofreading work....let's just say that the amount of invoicing sent out by me to my client since then is about the same (or at least feels like it) that I did for the previous 18 months.
Had some pc troubles in February and have been trying to catch up on stuff since then. That has been mostly done, but the grey matter is rebelling on the "stuff" still left to catch up on......go figure.
The interview was great, but the pics really caught my attention.
marlenebreakfield(at)yahoo(dot)com
@Natascha - Sure, why not? *Wicked grin too.* Sharing is caring in my book at times. He goes by the name Andrei Andrei.
OMG, he really makes my knees buckle!
So handsome, would like to have breakfast with him, yep!
I love the new look of your blog--I wish I had found out about it sooner!
Those pictures are delicious. And romance is pretty hard to define. If it's in regards to books, I would have to say that they're basically books where men woo women and there's always a HEA that usually gives readers the warm fuzzies.
xlilangeltorix[at]gmail[dot]com
Wow, just stumbled across a tweet about your gorgeous new blog--glad to have found you and will be taking some time to explore :) Thanks for introduction and lovely... scenery!

Congrats on your blog new look! It looks great, I especially liked the colors you've chosen. It makes a nice contrast.

Huh. I was sure I'd commented already but I guess i got stumped by the comment form before…(?)
Congrats ladies!
