Alpha Male Blog Hop

Thank you to Carrie Ann for hosting the Alpha Male Blog Hop!
Roar! This guy's all "I get hot and powerful when I read books."

Alpha males are wonderful -- I've enjoyed reading their exploits in romantic suspense novels by Pamela Clare and Cindy Gerard.

But my ideal hero has a mix of Alpha AND Beta. He's wounded, physically and/or emotionally, and therefore has a lot of depth. He's intelligent and respectful of women. He's clean-shaven, tall, and lean. And I don't mind him in handcuffs (wait...the Hot in Handcuffs Giveaway just ended!) My ideal hero is not a bad boy, but a man who gets in trouble due to standing up for others.

When I was dating more, I sought a man who was athletic and could talk about his feelings.

And I wonder why I'm still single! *snorts*

Anyway, Carrie Ann offers some amazing GRAND PRIZES if you comment and leave your email address on the comment:

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
2nd Grand Prize: A $130 Amazon or B&N Gift Card
3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack!


Wow! Thanks, Carrie Ann. Hop to all the blogs and enter 200+ times!

And I'm sweetening the pot by giving away two ebooks of my novels which feature sexy alpha/beta heroes: With Good Behavior (romantic suspense) and Streamline (YA swimming romance).

Greetings,

Doing the Alpha Male blog hop….oh yeah! I‘m excited to be a part of this hop! Wow, 200+ authors---a perfect opportunity to meet new authors! It’s always fun trying to visit as many sites as possible.

I love alpha heroes who are take charge men! They are loyal, loving and caring men. They usually have looks, brains, money and a commanding presence that draws people. When they find their mates and fall in love they will move heaven and earth to stake their claim. This is exciting to watch even when they are not sure why they have to have or be with this particular person. An awesome love dance! It’s definitely addicting to read.


Thanks for the opportunity to win some great prizes.

I love Alpha males, and blog hops! An Alpha male should be sexy, strong, protective, possessive of his female, loyal, and have a soft, tender, loving side, too.

I am a more Alpha than Beta person. Just like a take charge man I guess...
Curran from Kate Daniels series is my favorite Alpha.

I prefer more Alpha, but yeah, the damaged side, the Beta side has to be there or he just comes off as total a-hole. Which is not sexy.

Why I love Alpha Males is no real surprise! The perfect Alpha Male for me could be a Vampire, a Scottish Laird, an English Rogue/Gentleman, a Werewolf or Shape-shifter, or a Knight. He’s the rogue who thinks he can’t be reformed into a gentleman. He’s the rough and scarred Scottish laird that has a heart of gold. He’s the werewolf or shape-shifter that needs to heal an aching heart because it took him years to find his true mate. He’s the vampire who has waited decades for that special someone’s blood to sing to him and wake him up. And he’s the knight who can defeat the enemy with a quick swing of his sword, but can’t see the love in front of his face. My Alpha Male has eyes that can see into your soul and are as blue as the sea, or as black as a storm. He’s tall and brooding. His heart can enfold you into its grasp and make you fall in love when he gives it to you freely and completely. He is protective and passionate. In the end he is the one that makes your heart jump and butterflies fly in your stomach, and still kiss you until your legs melt!

I adore Jack Gordon from Liz Crowe's Realtor series...he's alpha all the way!

Alpha males are the best….strong, independent, fiercely protective, but on the inside they are nothing but a big ol’ teddy bear! I love the way their mouths talk filthy, but their eyes portray their sensitive sweet. They can be rough and tough in the bedroom, but still have the gentle caress of an attentive and protective lover. It's all in the heart.....alpha males are the best!

Thanks for participating in the hop!

My favorite Hero that would have to be Ethan from Chicagoland vampire series! He's defiantly an Alpha!

I agree with you that an alpha male with a bit of beta mixed in are my favorite. It allows their humanity and vulnerability to peak through.

My favorite alpha male is Samuel from Patricia Briggs's books. I love that he has a compassionate side and loves taking care of people and animals. He is strong, loyal, loving...He also has a past that I am longing to get resolved. FYI, he is a beta when he is around his dad or brother.

Oohwie - look at all the alpha maleness. But I'm with you & prefer some beta in a guy. Love what you said about him getting in trouble because he's standing up for others. that is Grant all the way.

Oh, and I think I completely neglected to tell you how much I love your one line blurb on your story:

Planning a wedding is never easy, especially when the Russian Mafia want you dead.

LOVE it!
I love my hero's more Alpha. One of my fav's is Wraith from Larissa Ione's Demonica series

My favorite book Alpha Male is Xavier (from my Existence series).

But for a more romance-book-like character, Noah Clayborne from Julie Garwood's "Shadow Dance" appeals to me as an Alpha because he is strong, intelligent, and has just the right amount of arrogance.
Susan Oloier said…
I always seem to be a day too late on these blog hops. But this one sounds like fun. I totally agree with you, Jennifer. I like a balance of the alpha and beta.
