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).

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.

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!

I like an alpha (or beta) that is strong determined and willing to go the distance for what he desires..
Thanks for sharing and being a part of the hop

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!

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.
