Rachel Gibson reveals her inspiration for NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE
May 24th 2008
Karen HawkinsOn Writing!
For Refreshment Only Sunday is proud to share Rachel Gibson’s inspiration for her hero, ex-pro football player, Zach Zemaitis, from her upcoming release (this coming Tuesday!) NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE!
I don’t know about you, but after seeing Rachel’s inspiration, I was inspired. Really inspired. Uber inspired. So inspired that I’ve decided that if I don’t get my hands on Zach– er, Rachel’s book asap, I might explode.
Fellow goddesses, here is ZACH from NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE!
Yeah, that’s right . . . Rachel Gibson’s inspiration was none other than hunk-o-man, David Beckham. And oh boy, is he inspiring!
If that’s not enough to inspire you, how about a little excerpt, too?
******
FROM NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE:
Zach shoved the plate at her and one corner of his mouth turned up into a smile. “I remember a lot of things about you, Adele.” With her hands full, she was unable to stop him as he reached for her sunglasses and pushed them to the top of her head. “I remember your eyes, turquoise except when they turn a deeper blue.”
He’d been the first man to tell her that her eyes got darker when she got turned on. She remembered they’d been in his truck the first time he’d said it. He’d been kissing her mouth and touching her through her clothes and she’d wanted to eat him up.
“So tell me, honey,” he said just above a whisper, “what’s got your beautiful eyes so sad?”

Happy FROS, m’dears! And remember to think of this picture when you pick up Rachel’s newest book, NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE this coming Tuesday at a bookstore near you!

Not to be a joykiller, but I’m pretty sure that’s David Beckham… But the pictures great anyway!

Oops, I misread the blog entry! I thought you thought his name in real life was Zach Zemaitis… Sorry about that! Anyway, the man inte the pic is soccer player David Beckham.

He has a face? Oh. Right. I’ll get there in a minute. Or not.
Whew-ee! I was cold when I first got up. Now, I’m in flames. What a great pair of skivvies! I’d buy a pair if I could get what’s filling them.
I’m soo happy that NABD is winging my way later this week. Thank you, Rachel, for inspiring KarenH. Thank you, KarenH, for making this a perfect Sunday.

Poor boy…he’s so handsome, I wish he could overcome his apparent shyness!
Oh yeah, and WOAH!

Yup, that’s Becks/Zach in the Armani ad campaign. Niiiiice, isn’t he?
Btw, I just posted a little excerpt from Rachel’s upcoming book. Just to keep you all warm.

this is hysterical…i checked the blog, thinking it was saturday, but was quickly reminded its not! thanks for the sexy clue

I can’t think of a better way to find out what day it is, Cail! If there is a sexy, hot, smoking guy on the blog who really fills out his skivvies then it MUST be Sunday!
Rachel, I can definitely see where this guy would inspire a gal to do all kinds of things …… However, the most legal option would be to write a fun, sexy, hot hot hot romance! Can’t wait to read it!

This is when you picture me staring at my computer screen, mouth gapped open, eyes about to pop out of my face!
Rachel, did you look at this picture every day as you were writing? I want your job!

that is a tasty morsel. There are a couple others of him that make you just want to melt. Makes me almost want to go catch one of the Galaxy games just to watch him on the field.

Seriously, those bvd’s are stuffed. Right?
I absolutely can’t wait to read this book!!!

Rachel might not be able to stop by today because of her holiday weekend schedule, but I’m sure she’ll be around soon to comment.
Whew, I keep coming back to look at him . . . and I’m not usually a Beck fan. Now, i just might join the ranks. Yowza!

I had to look again also. Amazing. I wonder if he really can bend it?
Too bad he’s into stick figures with bad boob jobs. (Meow)
Gannon on 25 May 2008 at 11:40 am #
Oh yeah! He’s a BIG inspiration!
And with a package like that, why doesn’t Posh smile more?! Just sayin’….

Kim -naughty naughty!
I had to come back for another peek myself.
I also love the excerpt…very sultry.

WOW! My Borders already has the book and it looks as though it’s blowing off the shelves from the way the two displays looked. I picked up my copy and am eager to see what Rachel did with her inspiration. I know what it did for me. hehe
Kathy/Cookiedough on 25 May 2008 at 1:14 pm #
meh, he’s alright, just doesn’t quite do it for me. It’s his voice.
I’ll just look at the pic- it IS a good one tho!
Karen Hawkins on 25 May 2008 at 1:40 pm #
Gannon, Post isn’t smiling because she hasn’t had any cake in over 12 years. Women need cake. Just sayin’.
dbrown, they already have it at your Borders? DARN IT! I want it to be at MY Borders, but nooooooo!
Lisa H on 25 May 2008 at 2:20 pm #
It looks she hasn’t had any calories in over 12 years.
Paula on 25 May 2008 at 3:27 pm #
I’m with Kathy on this one, sorry ladies and Karen H that is so funny and very probably true!! Lisa H I agree with you. How can Posh think that she looks so good, my boys stick insects look happier and healthier than she does.
Kathy/Cookiedough on 25 May 2008 at 4:08 pm #
LOL Paula!
I am anxious for the book to be stocked at my fav store though!
I’ll just imagine another god like man for Zach.
mmmmmm…wonder who’ll I choose
