The Alpha Male Hero - My favorite!

Who: the Alpha Male Hero. I know, it’s so cliché, but I really love the Alpha Male’s. They are smart and sexy and make me drool in a most unladylike manner!

Where can you find them? Anywhere and everywhere! On television, in movies, at the local pub and of courses between the pages of your favorite romance novel. The very first Alpha Male that I fell in love with was Captain Kirk (the original StarTrek) I must have been 12 at the time, and I was hooked. He was smart, forceful, strong, never had a bad hair day and he always did what was right for his crew.

The 300 (drool) Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this movie but I ‘ll have to buy a new copy soon. Mine’s getting worn right out. That scene where he yells”We are Spartans!” sends delicious shivers right down my spine every time I hear it.

Jane’s Warlord (by Angela Knight) Now there’s an Alpha Male! He’s hot and smart and so very very protective of his woman. Whether she wants him to be or not. If you haven’t read this one yet, I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s part of the Time Hunter Series, and I personally can’t wait for the next installment of these yummy time travelers.

Next comes any of the Dark series books by Christine Feehan . Those Carpathians are sooooo Hot! They’d melt the polar ice cap they got anywhere near it.

and (drum roll please…)

Kellen’s Conquest by moi – available in Secrets Vol 30 (release date July 31st!) I have a hard time with tooting my own horn, but I might mention that this novella won the Alpha Male contest that Red Sage Publishing ran in the spring of 2009, so I’m not the only one who loves him.

Why we Love him: Because he’s the perfect guy. He’s always there when you need him, he’s gorgeous but not conceited, he’s strong enough to protect you from the things that go bump in the night, and he’s focused on making his lady’s life as wonderful as he can. What’s not to love?

What we are giving you: Just so you can understand how truly wonderful an Alpha Male hero is I’m going to give away an e-book copy of Shifting Priorities(the collection), an e-book copy of Stranded on Earth, and e-book copy of Stargazers: Wanton as well as an autographed copy of Secrets Volume30. They are included in the two prize packages that we, The Wild Women are giving away at the end of our Hero’s Blogfest. To enter , all you have to do is comment on any or all of the blog posts.
