What Makes A Hero Sexy?
If you have been following my blog lately, you know I'm a huge fan of Maya Banks and her KGI Series. These heroes are strong, sexy men who know just how to please me...er..their leading ladies. And for me, Rio has 3 things that make him one of the Ultimate Heroes in my book:
Here is a snippet (#1) that shows he's always thinking of the woman first. This little scene still has me fisting the sheets and curling my toes.
"Can you show me how to do it?"Unless he was completely off by a mile, she was kneeling in front of him hand around his cock, asking him to show her how to give him a blow job.One side told him not to be an asshole and to pick her up, spread her out, and show her how good his mouth could feel on her.
Of course, Rio is not gonna let that good side of him get in the way of giving his lady what she truly wants. And Grace wants to taste him; share a very intimate sexual experience that she has never done before. And Rio, well...he's an expert on dishing out some instructions that can be hotter than hell. This sexy snippet (#2) shows a dirty talkin' hero can make his woman do anything:
"Deeper," he urged. "Take me deep baby. Hold me there. See how deep you can take me."
Also, my favorite hero (#3) isn't ashamed to sometimes let down his guard and show his emotional side. This scene shows Rio's vulnerability and who the hell can resist that? It made me tear up and bawl like a baby.
"Oh, God, Grace," he said, his voice completely cracking. "No, no, baby. Why. Why, oh God, why?"The rest came out in a tortured moan.

ReplyDeleteA hero is sexy when he is absolutely gorgeous, of course, but also not afraid to show his vulnerable side.

Anyone is super sexy when they are confident and smart and just let their character and confidence do their talking.

DeleteThanks for the follow. What books do you typically read? I have always loved my books to have some sort of romance--any heat level--and a great plot. Maya's books have both :)
Have a great weekend!
Confidence in themselves is one of the main things that makes a hero sexy to me.

Molly~ Love confidence, as long as it doesn't slide into egocentric, lol.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Love what you love in a hero...All great qualities.
Have a great weekend.
Charisma, always tops my list. A bit of dominance, and willingness to sacrifice everything to save those he loves. He doesn't have to have killer good looks, or super powers. But the three ingredients I mentioned are vital, at least to me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the hop.

DeleteLove your answer :)
Especially about the killer good looks; it's all about the little things put together that make the man. Looks is like the icing on the cake.
What makes a hero sexy? Even though he's alpha, strong and confidant, he's not afraid to express his softer side. Meaning he is not ashamed to get on his knees (stop thinking dirty) to play with a child or help the elderly. Patient. Sense of humor.

DeleteI love watching a man interact with kids. It melts my heart :)
Patience is a must, esp. for me as I know I would drive a man bat shit crazy, lol.
And my hero has to love watching Monty Python with me, hehehehehe
I love strength of character and a tender side!

I think a hero struggling with their own demons is very sexy. I also like them to be alpha man. Nothing is hotter than a take charge man. I follow via GFC as Kaylyn Davis. Thank you for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteHhmmm what I find sexiest is a sense of humor. My ultimate hero is probably a muscly, tough, alpha but if can also crack a joke while saving your butt I find him even more sexy.

I love an intelligent, strong, alpha man. They are generally very protective, responsible, respect others, and dependable. You add a sense of humor and lots of sexy physical characteristics and I am in love (or at least lust, lol). I have not read any of this series yet but I have seen great reviews of them. Thanks so much for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteBesides the obvious, what makes a hero sexy is when he gets a certain glint in his eye or that slight smirky smile.

Just being a mature, responsible, loving man is what makes a hero to me. He doesn't have to always be strong, but just be there through the good times and bad.
