Club, where he ran into an old friend to whom he owed a

(Make sure you read Tam’s comment – she found another cover and added it to the story!)
“No, I would not look cute in a cowboy hat. You’re just trying to keep me from noticing that there’s another naughty boy here!” -Mayhem
A bar, a “favor” . . . I think we all know what happened next.
A recent post from Mel..Another South Dakota Postcard
I think in order to repay the favor HOHG agreed to explain how he gets his tattoo to jump from arm to arm.
Huzzah and well done! That one was tough! And for a finale, I think he stumbled and fell… that pose can NOT be held that long!
Is this guy the only cowboy in stock photography land? Nicely put together, Chris, even if it did tax your story skills to the max :).
Is it still there *check*
Is it still there *check*
Yikes, that guy has issues
It’s a long hot night for the both of them at the Studs Corral Bed and Breakfast.
A recent post from Seanna Lea..its national ice cream day!
Actually, a pink cowboy had with sparkles and pink feathers would look awesome on you, Mayhem.
HOHG looks out of place in nearly all of those covers!
A recent post from Brigitte..Well Hello Again!
ROFL Love the story. 🙂
A recent post from Carole..Exclusive Peek- Position Secured by Olivia Brynn
I’m with Mel, we all know he was on his knees to deliver that favour.
You know, if he happens to pick up something nasty from giving out that favour there is A Sure Fire Cure.
A recent post from Tam..Inception – Movie Review
Tam: I totally missed that one, obviously! Thanks! 🙂
Is anyone else left with a sore stomach after looking at HOHG? My stomach muscles protest that probably uncomfortable position he’s in. And those jeans are so tight, shouldn’t there be… you know… a bulge?
A recent post from Morning Glow..Review of Unleashed by Katie MacAlister
Chris- Yee haw- ride’em cowboy.
So to speak.
A recent post from Lorraine..A Slight Interruption
Ya know, if the wind was so strong that he needed to brace his body and hang on to his hat, I’m guessing it would be string enough to drive bits of brush and sand against that naked torso. Put on a shirt, dude, before you scratch the finish.
A recent post from trek..WWW – Dramatic edition
Giddy up on those oiled waxed abs!
A recent post from katiebabs..Awakened by a Kiss Advanced Book Review Lila DiPasqua
LOL, another great one!!
Hahaha, I agree with Morning Glow. Where’s the package in those tight jeans?
A recent post from Lily..A handful of reviews
OMG, I love cowboys…especially bad boy cowboys, but this one does look a little “light”.
A recent post from margene..Garden Surprises
“Homesteads and Horseradish”???? I commend you for being able to work that one in, but as a title goes — that’s just weird!
A recent post from janna..Slow Progress
LOL! Nice one, Tam!
You have surely outdone yourself this time!
hubba hubba to that crazy guy. Most likely he has a face only a mother could love… ahem..
Isn’t there a song about that guy… “should done a cowboy”
Wait – thats “Should’ve been a cowboy” Silly me.
I think maybe Mayhem would look cute with a pink, sparkly cowboy hat as a bed.
A recent post from naomi..eye candy friday
Hohg. That’s too funny. He can come over and hold on to his hat at my place any time. 🙂
Love Tam’s addition.
A recent post from Tracy..What I Read Last Week
So many links – so little time.
So many books – so little time!
I’ve been looking at that Chrissy Munder but never could make up my mind about it. I guess I should buy it! 🙂
A recent post from Tracy..What I Read Last Week
I’m glad most of the cover artists cropped his photo above the knees because the full pose just looks…weired. Nobody stands like that. And MG’s right – he has absolutely no bulge. His crotch is as flat as his abs. Couldn’t one of the cover artists take pity on him and give him something down there?
A recent post from Ava March..Story Behind the Story – Got Mistletoe by Andi Anderson
Maybe this guy is like that new superman. His package was SO big that they had to photoshop it out. 🙂 That option does give more to think about, doesnt it? 😀
I bow to your spectacular story telling talents.
Still can’t quite get over Homesteads and Horseradish…but it is memorable!
I’m pretty sure what happens next and I hope there’s pictures 🙂 I like HOHG because he’s not headless but you can’t see his face either.
A recent post from Patti..Review and Twitter Party- Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
Well hello there Mr. Yummy *tips hat*. Damn, I love me a guy with thunder thighs.
A recent post from KC/Smokinhotbooks..Twice Bitten by Chloe Neill Made of Awesome
I didn’t even have to read the title – first glance told me what this one was about.
I don’t think I could bring myself to read a book with “horseradish” in the title, no matter how yummy the guy on the cover.
And if I ever happen to find a sparkly pink feather cowboy hat, you know where I’m sending it. 😉
A recent post from Nicole..FO- Anise Socks
Nice bod! Nice tat! Forgotten Favor really covers what there is of his face! Too bad, I bet he’s got a nice face…
Homesteads and Horseradish is an awesome title! I suppose the horseradish is what spices it up?!?!
I expected the hat to be photoshopped either black or white depending on how naughty he is in each cover.
A recent post from Jodi..hemlock amoeba
I don’t think he is HOHG. I think he is SMDSDLBEITTJ otherwise known as ‘shit, my dick still doesn’t look big even in these tight jeans’.
A recent post from Kris..things that make you go O-o nsfw
I love how his tattoo fluctuates to different arms, too!
A recent post from Elspeth..Working for the Weekend
LOL You ladies kill me.. I think HOHG has been standing in that position for so long he will walk bow legged for the rest of eternity.
And, Kris SMDSDLBETTJ? There are no words… ROFL (Rolling On Floor Laughing)..
Lea
Hey May, I’ve got a naughty boy on a motorcycle in my closet if you want to come visit. BTW I told him he had to turn the motorcycle off after Chris left this morning. 😉

A recent post from Lea..Nauti and Wild- by Lora Leigh & Jaci Burton – ARC Review and Giveaway!!
LOL! Great job. Yeah, I think the favor is pretty clear.
Part of me is curious how homesteads and horseradish are tied together. The other part is very afraid. 🙂
I think someone has to buy May a pink sparkly cowboy hat.
A recent post from Sydney..Why yes- I do knit
Oh my gosh… I am crying at Kris’ comment, lmbo!
Naughty boy, lol!
Hey Chris… hope you had a great weekend!
Kris – *snort*
Ok, they aren’t even trying to make him look different in these covers!
A recent post from orannia..Hitting The Ceiling
Now you have the peanut gallery abusing the models..
…sorry I forgot, they always abuse the model, I think the have gotten worse…
Mayhem – Take heart hon, Mom will soon get bored with these boys…
E.H>
ohmygod…I thought that one title was “Open to Prostitutes”.
OOPS.
He’s so shiny.
I think he’s looking down because he’s in pain due to his jeans being so tight. I don’t think there are “stretch” jeans for men.
A recent post from Brenda..April Socks in June
Applause to Tam – well done continuation!
I can’t imagine how much time it takes to pull these together, Chris, but they sure do entertain!
A recent post from Kristi aka FiberFool..10 on Tuesday- 10 Things to Bring Camping
LMAO! Fabulous story, Chris! You even managed to work in the horseradish title . . . you’ve got skills.
A recent post from Eyre..I want this marmot
Too funny! This guy is one of the more distinctive ones with his cowboy hat and tattoos. He doesn’t blend in as well as some of the others. And his tattoos jump from arm to arm?
A recent post from Val Kovalin..How to finish writing your rough draft no matter what!
ROFL! I can’t believe I almost missed this new issue of fabulous cover stories! 🙂
