Man Candy Monday - Gabriel Garko

Muses come from all kinds of places. This one popped into my inbox via a Celtic Hearts member. I am so thankful for the suggestion!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Gabriel Garko.

As far as muses go, my friend explained to me that Gabriel filled the bill of a male character that looked rich, aristocratic and powerful.

You can add charismatic, sexy, dangerous and down right drool worthy to that list!

This is not the first time the former Mr. Italy was presented to me. Although I admit, he looks quite different with blond hair.

Author, Melissa Stark uses Garko as her muse for her character Rayne, who happens to be a werelion. OH MY!

I think Garko definitely fits that bill!

You can almost imagine those predatory intense green eyes holding your gaze, watching your every move.

He can watch me any old day! In fact, with looks this good...he can do just about anything he wants!

Those eyes and that smile had me grinning all the way down his chest, I mean your wall. You know I'm a sucker for Northern Italian men. :)

Thanks for the inspiration! But now I'm off to the shower with my Minnesotan of French descent!

Sini said...

Oh Yeah! Those Eyes are so intense! And that last pic, Whoa...he's clearly inviting me for a roll in the hay...and I'm going =)

Again, I bow to thee our Queen! You're ultimately the best man candy huntress there is! =)
Sini

Lizzie Walker said...

LMFAO Kally! No I did not know you had a penchant for Northern Italian men.

*Note to self, must find more Northern Italian men who likes to eat peanut butter cookies. LOL

Lizzie Walker said...

HA! Sini, I think it's a toss up between you and Jackie. You girls keep my head spinning with the men you find!

It's like Candy heaven for me! LOL

Vonda Sinclair said...

Incredibly hot and inspiring!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!

Sandy L. Rowland said...

One of your best.
He's the perfect vision for one of my characters.
Thank you for the inspiration!

sunbeach said...

Lizze...Woozzaaa...he is striking..Thank you for the Monday morning pick me up...jojo

Lizzie Walker said...

Vonda, I am pleased as punch you like him! I am sure he will be great inspiration for you next book.

Hint-hint!

Lizzie Walker said...

Sandy! Thank you but I can not take the credit. ;-) I would whisper who should but it would be very loud. LOL

And I think this person might not be happy with me if I did. LOL

Lizzie Walker said...

JoJo! Thanks for stopping by and oggling my MCM. Hee-hee.

What did I win BTW? LOL

Melissa Stark said...

Is it getting hot in here or what?? Thanks, Lizzie! He is definitely my muse for my werelion Rayne. I love that pic of him as a blond. Wowsa.

Thanks for providing us week after week of muses to inspire our character development. ;-)

You ROCK.
Melissa

Lizzie Walker said...

Thanks CP!! LOL When I saw the blonde pic, I knew I had to post it on here for you.

I couldn't wait for you to see the post. *hugs*

Marilyn ~ wiggiemd said...

OMG...Lizzy, I think you're out done yourself this Monday!!! I'm having a difficult time getting moving and this sexy man did the trick!

Melissa, you've been holding out with the sexy muse! (don't blame you really for keeping him to yourself...lol)I can definitely see him as a werelion character.

You both have such great taste! I'm so loving the blonde pix! Holy moly cow!

You both rock!
Mare

Lizzie Walker said...

LOL Thanks Mare! Yeah, Melissa had sent a picture of Gabriel a few months back to Sarah and I and it was that picture of him with the blond hair.

Very striking with the green eyes. While I love that picture, it's the dark hair that sucks me in. It almost appears like black glass. It so shiny!

Glad I could get your creative juices going.

Paisley Kirkpatrick said...

He's real purdy, Lizzie. It does get my joices going looking at these photos...

Renee Vincent said...

I prefer the light-haired Gabriel myself. He looks more approachable that way and after seeing many of those pics, I so want to touch, ahem I mean approach him.

Great choice! Sorry I'm late....had a sick kid to tend to all day. So yes, I needed this!

Lizzie Walker said...

LOL mama, he is real purdy. In a swarthy kind of a way. This person is writing for Harlequin presents and the men tend to look dark and brooding.

He totally fits the bill. *hugs*

Lizzie Walker said...

Oh Renee honey! Poor baby! I hope she's alright? You know I am glad that this was a nice pick me up after a tough day.

*hugs*
