Men with accents

I've read so many romance series through the years yet Harlequin Presents remains my all time favorite. It's the combination of alpha men with their take charge attitude which in real life wouldn't fly with me, the fantasy of being fabulously wealth which is so far out there in the realm of my real world that it's a lovely escape, and above all international men. There are loads of them.

I'm an American with a fondness for accents so where else can you meet sexy men with delicious accents - Italian men, Australian men, English men, Greek men, Spanish men, etc.

I joke all the time that I could listen to Gerald Butler read the phone book all day - that sexy , deep, rumbling voice with that yummy accent. Ahhhh - bliss. Before that it was Antonio Banderas. Yummy. Hugh Jackman. Holler!

One time I got busted by my five year old. Hugh was on the cover of some magazine looking absolutely delicious and I murmured to my husband, "Hugh Jackman is H-O-T! (Spelling this out since baby was with me and she couldn't spell yet or so I thought) She turned to me in her loud kindergartner voice and said "Hot?!! You think Hugh Jackman is hot?" Lots of people turned to look at us and my face was red, red, red. My husband just laughed. Busted by a 5 yr old.

I have such a weakness for men with accents. It's a good thing I married a man with one.
