Fabio might have built the foundation, but Jimmy Thomas owns the penthouse suite. Check him out at romancenovelcovers.com

LOVE Jimmy Thomas. He's on three of my covers and I certainly plan on having him on all future covers.This is one smokin' hot man!

I never thought Fabio had anything going for him except long blond hair and some muscles. Jimmy Thomas, on the other hand, is smokin' hot, sexy and built! He should be on this list, he's done over 800 covers, two of which are mine, and I anticipate more to come.

He puts these guys to shame!

So where is Jimmy Thomas in this line up? He has the looks and the personality to beat any of these guys.I'll admit that Nathan Kamp was my first in cover model 'gotta have' but...in the little bit I have spoken to him I have found out that here is so much more to him then just a picture.He is truly a nice guy. He is able to portray so much emotion that I will buy the book just because he is on the cover. I am pretty sure I am not the only one who buys a book because he is on the cover.

If Jimmy Thomas isn't on this list, it isn't a list. The man has graced nearly 900 covers to date, two of which are mine. From here on in, I won't have a cover without him. These guys have nothing that Jimmy doesn't have in spades. He's the real romance novel cover hero - Fabio was nothing compared to Jimmy.

Why isn't Jimmy Thomas on the list? He's professional, intelligent, is on the covers of every genre out there and is and gorgeous beyond words.

Umm...hasn't anyone heard of Jimmy Thomas? Why isn't HE represented here? The man is SMOKIN' HAWT! His photos are always very tasteful and so thoroughly well done. To see what I mean find him on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/JimmyThomasDotCom?sk=info or at: RomanceNovelCovers.com

You need to check out Jimmy Thomas! He is the best I have seen in a long time ! He fit's every type of cover. He is wicked as a Vamp. Sensual as a dark spy and a tender lover. His pics and covers are so good.

Really, people? Sure, these guys are great and all, but the best cover model is Jimmy Thomas. He's on almost 900 covers, and is far, far, sexier than Fabio ever was.

Sorry but I have never liked Fabio. Now if you want a hot cover you need to get Jimmy Thomas. He's been on over 800 covers plus done commercials on TV. Check him out.
