Paranormal vs. Historical Romance Cover Abs Showdown

 

All right, this all started with a tweet that read:

"A Secret in Her Kiss @AnnaRandol Meets Blood of the Wicked @karinacooper."

Next thing I knew these wonderful authors asked for a Paranormal vs. Historical Romance Cover Abs Epic Showdown!

I simply couldn't resist, how could I? I.Have.A.Weakness.For.Cover.Abs. Don't you?

I'd started to write down a list of the historical hunk abs but that darn shirt was too damn distracting! I soon began imagining how I'd take my sweet little time tracing his chiseled body with my fingertips right from where his hairline ends, down his arm, then back up to his chin, and down again his middle, and I couldn't make myself pass his beautifully taut nipple. It made me want to nip it. Then, I realized, this hunk doesn't have a six pack, he's got an eight pack!


As soon as I'd had my fill of the historical hunk, I switched my attention to the paranormal hunk, and oh my! I wanted to trace the veins down his arms, up again, and then down his side to the belt around his waist, then slowly up his eight pack (yes, that's an eight pack!), and ever so slowly back down to his hard belly button (I wonder how it'd feel against my lips, ha!), and down some more to his waist line. Oh man, I am bad!!

My conclusion: They're equally HOT! I couldn't pick one over the other. It wouldn't be fair. I guess, the only way to find out who'd be better over the other would be if.... well, I'm not saying :)

Who do you think has the best drop-dead-gorgeous cover abs? Historical hunk vs. Paranomal slayer?

Blood of the Wicked Blurb: When the world went straight to hell, humanity needed a scapegoat to judge, to blame . . . to burn.

As an independent witch living off the grid, Jessie Leigh has spent her life running, trying to blend in among the faceless drudges in the rebuilt city. She thought she was finally safe, but now she's been found in a New Seattle strip club—by a hard-eyed man on a mission to destroy her kind.

A soldier of the Holy Order, Silas Smith believes in the cause: trawling the fringes of society for the murderous witches who threaten what's left of the world. Forced into a twisting web of half-truths and lies, he has to stay close to the most sensuous and electrifying woman he has ever seen and manipulate her into leading him tot he witch he has to kill: her brother. Silas doesn't know that Jessie's his enemy, only that he wants her, needs her, even as he lies to her... and must protect her until his final breath.

A Secret in Her Kiss Blurb: She would gladly relinquish her life of intrigue...

A rare beauty, raised in the exotic heart of the Ottoman Empire, Mari Sinclair knows it's time to end her career as a British spy when she narrowly avoids a brush with death. Unfortunately her employers think otherwise—and they are not above using blackmail to keep Mari in the Game.

Saddled with a handsome, duty-obsessed "minder" to ensure that she completes—and survives—one last mission, Mari is incensed...for her guardian, Major Bennett Prestwood, is simply too dedicated, too unbending, and too disarmingly attractive. But in the face of dark secrets and deadly treacheries, as the true peril to Mari is slowly revealed, loyal soldier Bennett realizes that, to save and win this extraordinary woman, he will have to do the unthinkable and break the rules—rules that passion and desire have suddenly, irrevocably changed.
