#CHICKLITMAY BOOK BOYFRIEND BLOG HOP

#ChickLitMay is here once again, and this year thirty fabulous Chick Lit/RomCom authors, including yours truly, are celebrating with a blog hop that will introduce you to the male protagonists in our books. These hotties are competing to win the coveted title of Book Boyfriend 2017, so they will be doing their very best to convince you to vote for them. If you visit all the stops on this hop, you can enter to win a HUGE prize that's guaranteed to bring a smile to any Chick Lit fan's face. (Details below.)

Let's get this hop started with the one, the only (as far as he's concerned), the heavily accented DANTE MARCHETTI from Mixing It Up . . .

 
"Buon giorno, hoppers! Eet ees I, Dante Marchetti, Manhattan restaurateur, television personality, and "culinary virtuoso" as Food & Wine Magazine recently called me (and they're not wrong). Eef you could taste thees luscious, creamy black truffle risotto I just made, there would be no question in your mind as to which man ees most deserving of your vote in thees leetle contest. Talent ees sexy, yes? As ees passion for what you do. And I am very passionate about cooking beautiful, tasty food."

"What are my other assets, you ask? Just look at me. Eef you like your man to be tall, with a thick mane of dark hair, smoldering espresso-colored eyes, and a body that could easily get him a role een the next Magic Mike movie, then you have found him. Also, I have a great sense of personal style. When eet comes to fashion, my motto ees, "The tighter, the better." Eef you are wondering what I wear under my chef coat, I have two words for you: wife- beater."

"I am a self-made man who has worked hard to achieve my success unlike a certain self-entitled principessa who has had everything handed to her and thinks she ees how you say . . . the knees of the bee? Speaking of my TV co-host, please ignore the smear campaign she ees waging against me. She cannot stand eet when I am een the spotlight, getting all the attention and appreciation I am due. Also, I believe she ees secretly een love with me (Who can blame her?) and ees jealous at the thought of me gaining more admirers from thees hop.

Vote for me because I am the best man for the job (and eet will make Cecily furiosa)!"
