Is there a book or a series that you have read which has left you completely smitten? A hero/heroine that makes other heroes/heroines pale in comparison to the feelings you have for your “true” love?
Yes! And that series is The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons.
It's a historical romance taking place in Russia during WWII. The hero Alexander is soooo swoon-worthy. He's a tall, dark soldier (my favorite), quiet and brooding with a quick wit, and utterly in love with the heroine Tatiana.
“Tatiana said. "Go on with Dasha. She is right for you. She is a woman and I'm-"
"Blind!", Alexander exclaimed.
Tatiana stood, desolately failing in the battle of her heart. "Oh, Alexander. What do you want from me..."
"Everything", he whispered fiercely.

A bus came. The soldier turned away from her and walked toward it. Tatiana watched him. Even his walk was from another world; the step was too sure, the stride too long, yet somehow it all seemed right, looked right, felt right. It was like stumbling on a book you thought you had lost. Ah, yes, there it is.
Lady Jayne from Goodreads supplies photos of how she sees the characters in her reviews, and she thinks Henry Cavill would make a good Alexander. I have to agree.
Tatiana: "Why did we spend two days fighting when we could have been doing this?"
Alexander: "That wasn't fighting, Tatiana. That was foreplay.”
Gah! Alexander is such an awesome book boyfriend.
I want YOU to read The Bronze Horseman, so I'm giving away an Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card of $10 to help you do just that. And since my novels feature tall, dark, and handsome military men, I'm also giving away an ebook of With Good Behavior. This giveaway is INTERNATIONAL.

"Alexander: "That wasn't fighting, Tatiana. That was foreplay.” - Damn, I wish I'd written that line, that is awesome!!
This sounds like a fab book!
Kyra, no doubt. There are many great quotes like that. The story took a little bit of time to get into, but once Tatiana met Alexander, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I had a bear of a time getting the Rafflecopter form right, but now that it's up, you should enter the giveaway!
He isn't a hero yet, but I love Shock from Shayla Black's Doomsday Brethren series. He is such a bad boy.
