My newest Ellora's Cave release, Love Potion #7, releases next Wednesday, October 24, and I'm so excited that it's releasing during football season. The tale of a sexy witch who sets out to teach a womanizing football star a lesson in desire he'll never forget, Love Potion #7 is a sensuous battle-of-the-sexes romance with a dose of the paranormal and a dash of humor. I was inspired to write this story by my fondness for the old television series (and the movie) Bewitched and my love of football. I married a die-hard football fan (won't mention the team, but their uniforms are black and gold, so that narrows it down), and over the years, I've become quite a football fan myself. Many of the men playing football are indeed swoon-worthy. I see many more football-player heroes in my writing future. Here are some of my favorite swoon-worthy football stars (including a few from the past). This list is by no means complete. I hope to see your favorites in the comments. You may just see your favorite "starring" in a future romance.
Drumroll, please – Tara's top thirteen swoon-worthy football stars:
1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Tim Tebow
3. Tony Romo
4. Mark Sanchez
5. Golden Tate
6. Tony Gonzalez
7. Hines Ward
8. Troy Polamalu
9. Jason Taylor
10. Kyle Boller
11. Drew Brees
12. Joe Namath
13. Wes Welker

Tim Tebow would be on the top of my list but that's mainly because I watched him "grow up" on the University of Florida's Gators when I lived in Gainesville for years. Mark Sanchez is a contender for the NY Jets finest player on the field. Or off for that matter. The only other football athlete that really stands out for me is Tom Brady. I've been a lifelong Patriots fan and Tom just makes watching the team play Sooooo much more worthwhile!
