I am excited to be a part of this hop, hosted by Full Moon Bites. Hell, I love Blog Hops. It's a great chance to meet other fabulous peeps - bloggers and non - and give out goodies that celebrate our most favorite thing in the world...
The love of a good book.
The Alpha man falls into any genre of romance: Historical, Contemporary, Romantic Suspense, Paranormal, etc. But I tend to like Alpha a little gritty, a little dirty, and a LOT smexy. No matter what the genre.
And it 's not all about the rock hard 6-pack, ripped arms and the ability to shoot the bad guys with his glock. Nope. My favorite Alpha hero a vulnerable side. One that he doesn't show anyone. EVER. He is mysterious, sometimes a loner, and says things that make my ovaries stand to attention.
I have so many favorite Alpha heroes that it's just plain impossible to select just one. Unfortunately my wallet says I can only offer one goodie to one lucky commenter. So what do you think of my choice?
James "Dawg" Mackay has lusted after sweet Crista for years. Just as many as she's spent running from him-and from a dangerous attraction. But for Crista, running isn't an option anymore because Dawg's got a plan to get her and keep her. It's kind of low-down-but completely hot.

ReplyDeleteyadkny@hotmail.com
yadkny~ The Brothers are winning here as peeps favorite Alpha hero.
DeleteMy favorite alpha hero at the moment is Thanatos from Larissa Ione's Lords of Deliverance. He's lonely, a little tortured and innocent where women are concerned, but as a Horseman, he's not to be toyed with. Put all that together and you get one deadly hunk.

Michelle~ I am dying for Larissa's newest coming out in Nov--(Reseph) and curious to see how he gets redeemed. UBER bad boy.
