When Moira Rogers asked me to write up a little post about whether I prefer a strong strapping vampire lumberjack or a werewolf bootlegger, my first instinct was to go to the vamp side. Who can resist a sweaty man, in flannel, that also would love to take a sip from your neck? But wait! When I really started thinking about it – Smexy loves her cocktails and boxed wine. In a world of prohibition, my hero would be the bootlegger. And tell me he shifts into a lethal werewolf, and my friends, we have a winner. A hot sexy werewolf that also smuggles me my 5 o’clock drinks? I’m in love.
What does this have to do with you? Moira Rogers has their book, Sanctuary Unbound, featuring the smexy flannel wearing vampire lumberjack out tomorrow. Later this summer, Safe Harbor will be released and we will then have the chance to read about a hot werewolf bootlegger. To celebrate, Moira Rogers is giving away a Kindle (or $275 gift certificate to an online bookseller of your choice).
There are several blogs participating in this very serious vampire/werewolf debate. Full a full list go HERE.
To enter, leave a comment and let me know what team you would pick. You can also go to the other blogs and leave comments to be entered for more chances to win. The contest will run through June 14th and at that point, Moira Rogers will collect ALL the comments from all the blogs participating, and select one winner.
So tell us, what team are you on? Who strikes your fancy? A Vampire Lumberjack or a Werewolf Bootlegger?
J.A. Saare says
Both actually sound funny to me. I haven't read the series yet, but plan to soon. :)
Sparklybearsy says
I just swooned over at Fiction Vixens for her quotes on the Vampire…but im a love the one im with kinda girl so i know when i read the weres i will love them too LOL!
Vamps and were's gimme them both :D Ive just put this series straight at the top of my tbr list, it sounds fun!
tnsongbird says
Vampire Lumberjack all the way!!! The Vxn gave yummy quotes and had me sold! I'm looking forward to this series!!!

Allison says
Such a hard question! It totally depends on the series. As I haven't read this series yet, I'm not sure which one I'd choose from the Sanctuary world….but in general, I think I'll have to pick Team Werewolf. HOT!
Elizabeth says
Vampire lumber jack sounds ay more sexy the werewolf bootlegger!
elizabethcerna2011@gmail.com
Miz Angell says
Loving both teams, but if I have to pick one, I'm a vamp girl all the way. My neck is a serious erogenous zone.

A Simple Love of Reading says
AWESOME! Another wolf-girl! We rock!!!
Mandi says
Yes! Team werewolf!!
Although Adam (vampire) does have some might sexy quotes over at FV's :)
Paranormal Haven says
100% Team Lumberjack Vampire! Although I really do enjoy their werewolves. Awesome series.
Stephanie G
Paranormal Haven
Fiction Vixen says
You know I love my weres. All growly, and hairy, and yummy. BUT, Adam woo'd me with dirty talk Mandi. I'm a sucker for dirty talk. TEAM VAMPIRE LUMBERJACK!!
Mandi says
Werewolf Bootleggers ARE sexy!! They don't need the dirty talk..they go straight for the dirty action
Ferishia says
Werewolf Bootlegger…Vampire Lumberjack? Decisions, decisions..why can't I be greedy and have both? lol
Sullivan McPig says
Werewolf Bootlegger!
It'd be even better if it was a werepig bootlegger, but I can't have everything so I'll at least have my booze.
Mandi says
LOLOLOL…maybe someone one day will write a werepig bootlegger ;)
Barbara E. says
I'd go with vampire lumberjack. Although a werewolf bootlegger would be pretty awesome, if I can't have them both, I'd have to choose the vampire.
Jen says
So a Vampire lumber jack does sound sexy with all that plaid and all. However, I imagine a werewolf bootlegger as a gruff and sexy with the added benefit of an unlimited supply of booze. And as someone who is very close to the world of legal drinking(I'm almost 21!), the bootlegger has definite appeal.
vslavetopassionv says
A man who likes to suck is never a bad thing but doing it doggy style sounds alot more exciting. go team Bootlegger!
~smooches~

Leontine says
This is so mean *pouts lip* Who can chose between a 'vampire lumberjack or a werewolf bootlegger'? Who??!!
*frowns while contemplating the wicked hard choice*
*sighs deeply*
*it ain't getting any easier while the seconds pass*
Okay, I've made up my mind; I chose the vampire lumberjack, I love the smell of wood *grin*
Leilani @Leilani Loves Books says
Its so hard! I just asked my cousin and she said Werewolf because… and It actually made me think.
BreiaB says
Well if he's a vampire and a lumberjack that means that he works nights so when would I get to see him? I need someone who I can see whenever I get the urge to.
Team Werewolf Bootlegger all the way!
BreiaB says
How about the bootlegger during the day and the lumberjack at night thus covering all of my bases?
jeanette8042 says
I'm Team Vampire Lumberjack! I've always had an affinity for vampires and vampire in plaid, yum!
Blinks says
What a hard decision!! Hmmm…I'd have to go with a lumberjack Vampire…I'm a sucker for men in flannel (lol I think I still have a Home Improvement show thing ^_^ )
Mandi says
It is a hard decision…plaid or booze? LOL
kathybaug says
Ooooh, vampire lumberjack, please!
Smash Attack! says
Wow! Historical romance AND vmaps/weres? Sa-weet! I need to get my hands on this series!
I used to be the vampire girl. But lately, the were boys have been making me swoon. Plus, I can see my were man anytime of the day. And he's just as muscular and sweaty, moving around those heavy boxes of my favorite liquor. :)
TEAM WEREWOLF BOOTLEGGER!
Cathy M says
I love them both, but if I had to pick just one then it would be the werewolf bootlegger. I'm with Breia, I would want 24 hour access.
Estella says
I have to choose the Vampire Lumberjack.
This books sounds like a great read!
Amanda says
Oh for me I think it would have to be the Vampire Lumberjack……..
Mrs. Hanson says
I've got to go with the werewolf bootlegger. What an interesting choice of hero — makes me want to read it!
Sandy Jay says
Why do I have to choose? Can't I have both???

Blodeuedd says
I have been reading about weres all week so grrrr, I am on their team ;)
Natascha / Ashleagh says
How is one ever going to chose? I think when it comes to it I'm a Vamp-chick. It's something about the fangs, that always grabs my attention ;-)

Tori [Book Faery] says
Aw yea, I'm with you! Team werewolf all the way! Super sexy werewolf with a hot body, who can shift into a wolf you can cuddle with, AND free alcohol? That's the potential for true love right there.
Cade Crowley says
How could you give up the freaking SUN just for a vampire when you could have a sexy werewolf all day long in the 20s?
Team Werewolf Bootlegger!

Reena Jacobs says
Go Team Werewolf Bootlegger! I like my boys big and bad. He can liquor me up any day!
Christine says
Team werewolf!
I think the werewolf bootlegger probably has more storyline potential, especially considering that bursting into flames during the day is not going to be an issue. :) (However, I admit to being intrigued by what a fertile imagination can do to create a good lumberjack vampire tale.)
How about a story that has the vampire lumberjack running the alcohol stills out in the woods at night for the werewolf bootlegger?
Calila1988 says
*sigh* if forced to choose I think I'll have to say Team Vampire Lumberjack.
Mandi says
I like your thinking Christine ;)
I know…such a cruel world where we are forced to choose between two smexy men, Calila ;)
s7anna says
I'm going to have to go with Vampire Lumberjack! Why you ask? Easy…I AM CANADIAN!!! *hear me roar* Bring on the plaid, Baby!!!

The guy with the drinks has got my vote hands down.
Lily Ghates says
1. Your blog is awesome! I've been browsing through and I don't know how I haven't visited before now.

LilyofDarkness says
Can I just have both? Come on the hobaggin Anita gets both! *pouts lip*
Beth says
I prefer shifters so that would put me on team Werewolf Bootlegger.
Jojo says
A badass vampire would be my choice. Team Vampire Lumberjack!!!
Stella (Ex Libris) says
Another Team Werewolf supporter here! *bumps fists* :-D
Though vamps have a certain charisma, I simply love that wolves mate for life and how devoted and passioante they are to their mates. I like my men with warm skin and want to be able to walk with them in sunlight, so definite werewolf supporter here! :-)
Kelly M. says
Vampire Lumberjack definitely….
Dot S. says
Definitely Team Lumberjack Vampire! What's not to love? Sexy, dangerous, hunky and oh so demanding. He may lick my face but he won't howl.

dyockman says
I have to go Team Werewolf Bootlegger! It's a rich family tradition of owning a still and running liquor. :D

I usually adore werewolves, but I'm put off by anything that is drunk, so I go for Team Vampire Lumberjack.

I would like to pick both, but I must be loyal to my shifter love.
Team Werewol!
Andrea I says
I'm a natural night owl and love those vampires.
Team Vampire Lumberjack for me.
Catherine says
Team Werewolf… A girl needs something warm to snuggle up to at night. I'd have a heck of a time warming my cold toes on the skin of a vampire. … Just sayin …
SilverWolf says
Man I am going to have to read both series as soon as I can get them.
However, I'm cheering for the werewolves all the way, got to cheer for my namesake. GO WEREWOLVES
I love shifters especially werewolves, like vampires but I'd rather have a hot live body than a cold dead one. And just because he's a bootlegger doesn't mean he drinks. I was a bartender and I never drank at work.
Tine says
Definetly Team Werewolf!
While at first a was kind of a vamp girl, now i love everything that can turn into something furry :)
Thanks for the contest!
(if it´s not open internationally, just ignore me!)

CrystalGB says
My choice would be Werewolf Bootlegger.
Nicole says
Of course I'm on Team werewolf Bootlegger!!
Why would anyone want to be on a team where the hero makes firewood instead of alcohol?!?!?!?
MamaKitty says
I'm all about the team Werewolf Bootlegger! I love me some vamps, but I love the idea of a warm blooded sexy growly scruffy man heating up my sheets (AND ME!) at night. :)
Wendy says
Why the hell can't I have both?! A bootlegger kilt-wearing werewolf AND a kilt-wearing vampire lumberjack with me in the middle!
That'd be a great sandwich. For serious.
Charlotte says
Go Team Werewolf!
whateverfor says
Word. I love vamps and weres equally, but it was the bootlegging that got me. Go werewolf bootlegger! No wait, don't go – come here! :D

I am completely on the side of Team Vampire Lumberjack!
John says
I come from a long line of lumberjacks. I'll take the family biz and some pesky soul issues over the uncontrolled furry and controlled substances.
Carolsue says
I am on Team Lumberjack! A Lumberjack is much sexier than a bootlegger, so throw in a vampire and WOWSER!

Nicole MacDonald says
..okay so I know this wasn't one of the options.. but after reading about Quinn the weretiger I just don't think it gets better *grin*
Lily Ghates says
@Nicole McDonald – So, you're on Team Weretiger Ultimate Fighter?
You know, that may just be a team I could get behind :-D
Mandi says
Do we need to tell Moira Rogers to expand their shifters to include Tigers? :)
Lily Ghates says
Maybe. Perhaps Team Weretiger Ultimate Fighter can unite the waring factions of Team Vampire Lumberjack and Team Werewolf Bootlegger together in harmony and appreciation of hot men ;)
Jeni says
Team Werewolf Bootlegger–gotta love shifters… :)
Nicole MacDonald says
weretigers rule – not a shifter! :)
The Book Vixen says
Yay, Team Werewolf Bootlegger!!!!
No cold dead weights for us. Give us the warm, fury animals!!

Hey Smexy,
The booze ranked high on my list of reasons to go for Team Were also. And, I do like a man that can keep me warm at night.
Go Werewolf Bootlegger!
Natasha A. says
Vampire Lumberjack!
Jean P says
It is too bad have to choose side, times would like to have a furry werewolf to cozy up with, but going to have to go with Team Vampire Lumberjack
Mandi says
High five, Lillie ;) LOL
Amy S. says
Werewolf Bootlegger! Love werewolves!
Raonaid Luckwell says
Bootlegger just does not paint a vivid picture like lumberjack does…
Besides you don't hear too many songs about bootleggers. Lumberjack actually there is one song!
Team Vampire Lumberjack!
Jesse Evans-Jenkins says
You shouldn't base your opinions on a song even if it is a song based on vampires.
Jesse Evans-Jenkins says
Werewolves=dogs
Humans own dogs
Vampire=Human
Vampires own werewolves
Pamk says
I want both but if I have to choose. I'd pick team werewolf.
no blood sucking
get to eat and go out in he sun.
were's get a soul mate
chey says
I haven't read the series yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I choose Team werewolf. Nice to be able to see someone in the daytime!

I chose Team Lumberjack Vampire but I love were wolves. So, what can I say except that I'll have to stay true to my choice.

Okay…I really like the whole running from the law in a speeding car thing..but admit it..you want the wood…you need that cool down and burn me up dance…you want that Lumberjack to jump from the tree- pick you up and throw you down…Team Vampire Lumberjack darling!

K.C. Marquis says
I love the Red Rock Weres, unfortunately, my loyalties side with the vamps, especially ones who wear plaid and have cool, collected attitudes.
For some odd reason, Adam reminds me of Paul Bunyan without the blue ox.
Tracie says
For the sake of sides, I have to go Team Vampire Lumberjack. Nothing says sexy like a man jacking some lumber. (Ohhh the images.)
No promises but I might reconsider with the right incentive, in the form of skin. :)
I can't wait to add both of these to my collection!
Lakisha Spletzer says
Man, on my blog I'm being overran by vampires! ;)
It's okay though. I love my Weres and their smell and their power and…
*stops to wipe drool off*
Sorry I'm in lust, I mean love, with my furry heroes.

Deb830 says
I really like both but I'm siding with Team Vampire Lumberjack. I haven't read the books yet but have always been a vampire fan even before Twilight. From what I've read the older the better. Age bring more powers and some can actually shift in to a wolf form. I say 2 for 1. YUM!

Zina Lynch says
A new team, a civil war, a revolution!!!
Team Werevamp Wolfjack
YES!!! I agree I want both too, yeah, the start of a new revolution, I'd love to be in the middle between these two sexy men, a new team. I'm with you, team Werevamp wolfjack, or Werevamp Lumberwolf or Werevamp Jackwolf how does that sound? I like the first or second one best.
I had just started to post the following on some of the blogs starting with Blackravens.
I can be a trouble maker, I want both, shame on me huh,blame it on some really good posts numbering the wolf advantage of being able to be out at all times of the day and the fact that he's warm and really alive and can share a real meal of food. Although the wolfie can take care of me 24/7 and the vamp can only manage about half,he's still strong, mustled and sexy as hell, maybe they won't mind sharing, I wouldn't mind it. After all why can't I have my cake and eat it too.
Hope everyone doesn't want to stake me out but I really want both.
Zina
Viva le revolution, for those that to switch to both, come join us, make your voice heard. This is a war after all!!
One 2 Try says
I am leaning towards Team Werewolf Bootlegger. There is something slightly sexy about howling.

You bootleggers sure do have a point, but I'm sorry. I have to go with the Vampire Lumberjacks. I mean, he's always got wood. *snicker*
vvb32 reads says
can i sample both?
Kristen says
Hmmmm you have a point.. but c'mon Vamps are just better my friend!
NickPengRune says
At least my girlfriend will know everything I would like to know because she has lived for so long.
Carla P says
The vampire lumberjack, hands down, or trees – what have you…
Nastassia says
@Jess – "he's always got wood" LOL
I'm for Team Vampire Lumberjack!!!
Anne J says
Team Werewolf Bootlegger for sure. Let's face it, vampires are dead and cold! Plus you can't see them during the day, and a bootlegger means lots of free booze. I'm going with the booze on this one.
Bailey H. says
I am all for team werewolf! That way, when it gets cold I have someone to warm me up ;)

Sounds great I can't wait to read it. 29 days from now I'll be laying on my back porch reading Safe Harbor. Who doesn't love a great Monster romance. Werewolves are indeed SMEXY! Thanks for the Synopsis link!
ladyt64 says
It definitely has to be team Vampire Lumberjack.This looks like some reading I could sink my teeth into.
Peter says
A bootlegger is a brave entrepreneur, a lumberjack is a tool of the lumber conglomerate. Who do you admire?
Karla Vollkopf says
Hum… such a difficult question… can I have both? :D
I really need to start reading those books!
