Hot Summer Heroes Blog Hop


August 13-19
Grande Prize: $100 Barnes and Noble Gift Card
Plus prizes at every stop as you hop along!



I fell in love with this blog hop theme from Caris Roane, H.D. Thomson and Bella Media Management the moment I saw the above graphic. How could I not get excited about participating after seeing that?

The topic is "Hot Guys"--What makes a hero 'hot' to me?
Besides a killer body (which they all have in the romance books) I LOVE a hero who is fiercely protective of women, his heroine in particular. One who worries when she stubbornly (or unknowingly) puts herself in danger and does whatever it takes to keep her safe--even if it's not always in his best interests. A man willing to fight for his woman is the sexiest of all.


Tripp Warner in CHASIN' MASON is just one such hero. Despite their
tumultuous past, he finds himself caring for Reggie more than he ever thought possible. Even when he's pretty sure he hates her, not protecting her never even crosses his mind.

How about you? Tell me your idea of a hot hero and you'll be entered in to my drawing for a
$15 Barnes and Noble egift card*.
(*International entries valid wherever BN egift cards are accepted)

While I'd love for you to follow my blog, the only requirement for entering is to leave a comment with your answer.

Thanks for visiting, good luck, and enjoy the hop!

  1. Hi stacey. My idea of hot hero? The uber alpha male. The over the top hero. Overprotective and possessive with the love one. A man with an edge, but with overload of tenderness toward his woman.

  8. A hot hero is a man who treats a woman with respect and kindness. A sense of humor and a handsome face is also nice.

  9. I'm loving all these comments. You all have very definite ideas of what makes a hero hot. Each of you says it a bit different, and after I read, I'm like "Yes--that's it!" Then I read the next one and I'm like "Yes!"

    So keep 'em coming and thanks to everyone who's commented so far!

  10. I love the flawed, sarcastic, rough around the edges type of hero, that has a heart of gold (sometimes buried deep but its there).

  12. A hero is hot when he's got that tender heart on the inside (the one where it's completely obvious to everyone but him that he's in love and wants to be loved in return) but on the outside he's Alpha and strong, kind of a bad ass attitude sort-of look. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  16. Woohoo! Loving this hop! All those HOT sexy hero's to drool over!

    A hero is HOT when he’s an alpha; (shifter, human, or vamp) tall, handsome, sexy, with a sense of humor, loyal, and a BAD ASS! He doesn’t want anyone to know that he is soft on the inside, especially for his woman.

    <^_^>
    Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.
