Switch Finale! A Backlist Bonanza!
Writeminded Authors’ Backlist Bonanza!
Okay, so Bonanza might be pushing it, but I like alliterations. J
We’ve had a great time with the Big Blog Switch here between the Cigars ladies and Writeminded! To go out on a crazy giveaway note, we thought we’d dig into our earlier books and give one lucky winner a sampling of all of us. If you’re selected, you’ll receive:
From Stephanie Tyler: Her first two Harlequin Blazes, Coming Undone (Hunt's story) and Risking It All (Cash's story) - they're sold out most everywhere except in ebook form, but she still has author copies for a lucky reader to enjoy!
From Jaci Burton: Surviving Demon Island – She's all curves and combat boots. He's six feet of lean, dangerous male. Join them in a game of survival. That's as real - and hot - as it gets.
From Amy Knupp: Copies of her first two books – Unexpected Complication (Single. Pregnant. Not looking for a man. Especially not one who detests the father of her baby. But that’s exactly what she fell in love with.) and The Boy Next Door (A tragic night twelve years ago changed two families forever. Now, the well-being of a young boy forces the families back into contact—dredging up guilt, blame, hatred…and an attraction a deadly accident couldn’t kill.)
From Maya Banks: Choose anything from her backlist, which you can find on her website. Print or ebook, your choice!
From Larissa Ione: Secrets Volume 18 (Red Sage) – Larissa’s contribution to the anthology, Flesh To Fantasy, is about a reclusive video game beta tester/reviewer and a hot paramedic who wants to teach her to have her fun in the real world instead of the virtual one.
From Sydney Croft: Sydney’s giving away a copy of Book 1 of their ACRO series, Riding The Storm... The storm is over. But the seduction is just beginning…
So…to enter, drop us a line here and tell us…what’s your favorite style of underwear for a hero to wear…or take off? *g* (Yes, I’m stretching here but just pretend I’m normal.) You must be registered as a Cigars user (of the blog, that is, not a smoker, necessarily) to enter. Winner will be announced tonight in the comments.
Thanks again to the Cigars ladies and all of you who have joined us this week!



















Commando!
Okay...of course I'd have to say commando, but if I have to choose...boxer briefs. The kind that mold and define. ;)
This has been a ton of fun, girls! Thank you soooo much!! I've got some new favorites added to my list of must-reads.
I vote
I vote for boxer briefs too -- love that style!
Bonanza
Thanks to the Writeminded ladies for a fun week!
I'd have to pick boxers too.
I'll have to go with briefs.
I'll have to go with briefs.
I vote
boxer briefs
You know, I don't know that
You know, I don't know that I ever mention specific underwear in my books. I know sometimes my heroes go commando, because how sexy is it when they peel back that zipper to reveal nothing underneath? Yummm....
Though I do like boxer briefs. So sexy!
Thanks to the Cigar ladies and everyone here for letting us guest blog this week! It was so much fun!!!
:-D
Ditto! This has been so much
Ditto! This has been so much fun!!!! Thanks, Cigar ladies, and thanks to everyone who has played with us this week!
As for underwear...in real life I love boxer briefs and boxers. In my books there's lots of commando going on, but if I do give my heroes underwear, it's generally boxer briefs!
Boxer Briefs all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love boxer briefs some much that I went out and bought my husband some. They are great they have just the right amount of tightness and cover that make my tongue hangout and say oh yeah. I have always hated tighty whiteies.
What type?
Had a great time with you all here this week! I'd have to say my favorite would also be boxer briefs. But going commando every once in awhile is sexy also!
I have to agree with
I have to agree with Commando. but if I have to choose I will say boxer briefs.
This has been fun and I have found a new blog to haunt. Thanks ladies.
I would also have to say
I would also have to say boxer briefs!
Hmmm
I think I've used both, though most of the time, like Jaci, I don't really draw attention to a specific type. The heroine's attention is usually focused on how quickly she can get him out of his underwear, not on what KIND of underwear he's wearing *gg*
Thanks to everyone for playing this week and thanks for having us :)
Thanks, ladies!
This week has been fun with all of you.
It is a tough call for hero's underwear... I like boxers (although silk is cliche, LOL!) But I also like colored briefs!! Not tighty-whiteys, but that cut in bold colors. And if they are the soy-fiber ones like my DH sometimes wears...YUM. TMI, I know, but you asked! LOL!
Briefs
I'm going to have to say briefs, because they show it all. I'm not much on the boxers. They cover up to much. Brief are the only way to go.
Hee!
Sorry, just having fun reading all the comments and reasons! So true that usually the heroines prefer commando--why have something else in the way of what you're so desperate to get to? Although there's something about boxers and a slower reveal...
Another vote for boxer briefs here :)
Thanks again, all of you Writeminded authors--I've really enjoyed getting to know you and your books this week! Many many more added to the wishlist, (no) thanks to you!! ;)
Blog Switch
Ladies,
Thanks for a great week! Who ever thought of the blog switch was a genius! Got a chance to meet some great new authors over at Writeminded this week and I love having new books to read. Don't put me in the drawing because I've read pretty much all your books already. Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to so many new great books!
Well I looove a man going
Well I looove a man going commando (sans underwear) but if underwear is needed (thinking of zipburn here lol)then a decent pair of hip hugging dark coloured briefs is good.
To Err Is Human - To Purr Is Feline.
Whoo!
What a give away! Thanks for being so generous - whoever wins is one very very lucky reader! As to my favorite style of underwear for a hero to wear... I'm going with the crowd on this one - boxer briefs! In college (I don't know how this happened) we started discussing guy's underwear... and the general consensus was that guys most prefer boxer briefs as well - so it makes sense you'd want the hero to be most... comfortable ;-)
Boxer briefs please
for all the reasons already listed above. If he must wear underwear.... this site is a great find and I'll be back. Thanks all!
Oh gosh, I don't think I
Oh gosh, I don't think I ever answered a underwear post, LOL.
After going to visit my drawers in my dresser, I've come to the conclusion that the favorites there are hipsters. Not Bikini's, not panties. (I feel like I'm saying dirty words, ROFL). I've always loved the pink and purple ones (you know, you gotta feel pretty) because the lace on any itch. So I went for comfort but pretty too :)
I had such fun here this week!! I am thrilled to visit. Too, so many wonderful reads up there which I enjoyed and are keepers. I don't have all Maya's so I would love to be in the contest! Thanks again
Commando.
Commando.
what’s your favorite style
what’s your favorite style of underwear for a hero to wear…or take off?
Hmm...I kind of like boxers.
This has been a fun week and it has definitely made me want to get and pull out all the Writeminded and Love is an exploding cigar authors' books!
Briefs or commando
Either one is fine! I've so enjoyed reading the switch this week! It's been really interesting and entertaining!
Boxers
I love boxers. I think they're the sexiest kind of underwear for men. Going commando is the next best thing.
My vote
I have to say boxer briefs :)
Boxer briefs
I'm with the other gals who voted boxer briefs. The best of both worlds!
Thanks for the full week of fun!

Chiming in...
Hmmm...I like it when the underwear "suits" the hero. Some guys are commando all the way, but others really should be in briefs or boxers, if that makes any sense. Julie Miller's latest Marine Blaze hero wore white boxes and he was beyond sexy!
Thanks for switching - it's been fun!
I could go....
I am not sure I have put much thought into the underwear heros wear..how strange when writers usually go into great detail about the heroine's got on underneath it all. I could go either way--plain briefs or boxers....I can't see the Alpha men I enjoy reading about spending a whole lot of time picking out sexy underwear for themselves.
Kendra
Going with the majority...
I like a man in boxer briefs, too! Though after Jaci's pulling back the zipper comment (nice mental image!), I wouldn't mind a little commando either.
Thanks for hanging at Cigars this week--it's been fun! :)
Boxer briefs!
Boxer briefs!
Commando/boxer briefs
That's a toss up for me. Peeling off a pair of jeans and beholding all the beauty is really sexy, but something about that soft cotton cuping all those dangly bits, totally works for me too.
Boxer Briefs
all the way! All the curve hugging tightness of briefs and the thigh accentuation of boxers all rolled into one nice package! :P
I'll take the tighty whities
I'll take the tighty whities, thank you very much. That is closely followed by the commando look. Nothing says that better in my estimation ladies- either style. Yummm...you look so uncomfortable, darling. Wouldn't you like to remove something????
Boxer briefs..yellow ones.
Boxer briefs..yellow ones. They remind me of a spring flower waiting to bloom. lol
That's actually a hard one
That's actually a hard one for me lol. My husband always wears the tidy whities but at least not in white anymore lol. I think something different would be exciting lol.
In with the crowd...
I have to also agree that boxer briefs is the style of underwear for my hero. :)
Boxers, Briefs or Commando

Boxers, Briefs or Commando
I remembered my password - always forgetting it. And I still say Boxers! LOL.
Winner!
The backlist bonanza winner is Kendara. If you check in, Kendara, shoot me an email at maya@mayabanks.com and give me your snail mail address and also let me know which of my backlist you want.
Thanks to everyone for coming out to play and for the Cigar ladies for hosting us.
Congrats, Kendara!!
Congrats, Kendara!!! Enjoy all those goodies.
I think I'm too practical to want the guy to go commando...I mean, the view from behind is always good as he drops those jeans, but the thought of the delicate parts getting caught in the sharp edges of the zipper...oy!! Makes me cringe even thinking about it, LOL!! Hhhmm, but if this is my fantasy, I suppose it could involve 'non-pinching' zippers. :-D
(LOL - it is way past my bedtime...I think I'm getting loopy!!) But I still say congrats to Kendara!
Congratulations!
Yay, Kendara! Thanks again, WriteMinded writers! What a great week!
Thank You
Thank you so much!!!! Reading your posts this week was fun.
