10. Domestic Gods know how to separate laundry, and are man enough to buy and care for fine washables.

9. Domestic Gods like more power...in their women, their cars, their vacuums, and their household cleaners.

8. Domestic Gods do manly things, like lift the couch with one hand to vacuum under it.

7. Domestic Gods don't question their sexuality: being a good cook and knowing how to clean doesn't make them effeminate. It makes them independent.

6. A Domestic God knows the way to a woman's heart is to show he's capable of killing bugs, scrubbing toilets, washing windows, keeping her well fed and well satisfied in bed.

5. A Domestic God knows there's nothing sexier than a man cleaning the bathtub for the woman in his life and then joining her in it.

4. Domestic Gods don't expect their women to be maids unless said women are into playing dress-up. Then, they prefer the French variety--feather duster included.

3. Domestic Gods can fix your car and fix you a five-course meal.

2. Domestic Gods not only respect women, they care for and about them.

And the number one reason women love Domestic Gods is...
Domestic Gods are as good in the kitchen as they are in the bedroom.

thth-coverMost women I know ask me if Domestic Gods are a figment of my imagination or if they are real. I am here to attest to the fact that yes, Domestic Gods do exist. I know this because I'm lucky enough to be awakened every morning to my very own DG's kiss and a really good cup of coffee.

Let me tell you ladies, a lot can be forgiven when you awake to a good cup of coffee in bed and a kiss every day of the week. And since we live in the real world, it's a good thing because no matter how wonderful a real Domestic God is, he's still a man.

Dr. Mike Flynn, the Domestic God in Too Hot to Handle is nearly perfect. Of course, he's also fictional. Mike is the type of guy who cleans out the refrigerator in the doctor's lounge at the hospital, giving everything questionable the sniff test, washing the coffee cups left lying around, and wiping down the counters. Of course, everyone teases him about it, but Mike takes it all in stride.

In Too Hot to Handle, when Annabelle falls and rips a few ligaments in her ankle, he not only carries her to X-ray and diagnoses it, but he takes her home, cleans her apartment, cooks a hot meal and gives her plenty of TLC. When Mike and Annabelle go away for a long weekend on Westhampton Beach; Mike's the one who plans the meals, fills the cooler and barbecues-among other things.

The thing I love most about Domestic Gods is that no matter how great they are, they're men who are continuously stumped by the women in their lives. Still, they clean to relieve the stress that the rocky road to loves causes. I find chocolate to be the perfect stress reliever, but I'm glad it's not my DG's stress reliever of choice. I don't know about you, but a gorgeous Domestic God cleaning his way through the stresses of everyday life totally works for me.

My husband needs a Domestic God boot-camp.
No coffe in bed, won’t go near a dish in the kitchen if his life depended on it & runs from laundry as if it was the devil himself BUT he still gets 5 stars because he does a “MEAN Bar-B-Que”

LOL Susan~ It’s so funny you should say that your husband needs a Domestic God boot-camp. It just so happens that that’s exactly what Rich Ronaldi gets in my next book in the Domestic Gods series, Breakfast in Bed. Rich is an only son of a verry Italian family who grew up being treated like the second coming. When his girlfriend breaks up with him because he’s not marriage material, he decides to become a Domestic God. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun writing a book. It due out in December (If I ever get my revisions finished.) I hope you’ll check it out after you read Romeo, Romeo and Too Hot to Handle.

Best,

Robin :)

I don’t have a Domestic God experience! I would like one though! I have never been good at all that domestic stuff, so it would be nice to have a man who is! Perhaps someday my wish will come true…

Apply only if you are good at getting rid of spiders!

Domestic Gods don’t question a woman’s need to buy a new pair of shoes. They accept it as part of her charm.

Another reason to love Domestic Gods is that they give great neck and foot massages without having to ask how your day went.

Would love a copy of the book! :)
