HOP TO For HOT SUMMER HEROES BLOG FEST GALORE!

Click here or below to Hop
It's hotter than hell and twice as sexy! I am so tickled to be a part of this talented group of authors! So many wonderful stories, goodies to win and hunks to drool over! LOL!
 
I can't think of anything hotter than a hero who can find redemption and share control with that special woman who tames him. The idea of a man being strong enough within himself to encourage and treat his woman as his equal is off-the-charts hot, hot, hot to me.
So, what is this all about? I just shared with you what makes up a hot hero and now I would love to hear from you what makes a hero hot. Of course there is a prize involved for the winner.
Now here is the cool part. I will be picking a winner on August 20th from the comments via randomnumber.org. The winner will receive a PDF copy of your choice between one of the first books in my two series The Dark Breed and The Knights of Excalibur. Plus, my winner will be entered in the grand prize of a $100 gift card to B&N!
Sound good?
 
Here is your choices:
 
First book in The Dark Breed Series: 
  
Tambra Ellis has just had her world turned upside down! Surviving a bite from a Lycan, attracted to one hot vampire guy and now she has to look forward to turning into something from some bad werewolf movie. 
  
Marcus Valerian has enough on his plate without the added complication of Tambra Ellis. Fiery and independent? Sure. Beautiful with a body made for sin? Oh Yeh. And a human cop. Tambra is everything he needs to stay away from.  

As leader of the Tribunal’s enforcers it’s up to him to find out why the Dark Breeds are going feral and killing humans in ever increasing numbers. Tambra’s life is in the balance as the secrets of her past place her in the middle of old deceits and a betrayal that will change the world forever.
     Will Marcus and Tambra’s love survive or will it be too late.

Excerpt
Her eyes widened in horror as she took a shaky step backward.
“Oh, God.  This isn’t happening.  It can’t be real.  Werewolves don’t exist.”
     “Believe me, they do exist.  Denying what you have seen will be foolish and dangerous, for you and everyone you’re around.”
     “No.  I don’t believe this.  I won’t believe it.  There has to be some logical explanation for what I saw.”  The sharp edge of hysteria rose in her voice.  “I will not turn into a dog.   I don’t even like dogs.”
     That made him smile despite the seriousness of the situation.  She was absolutely adorable and he was in deep shit because of it.  Yet, he couldn’t seem to make himself care. “Wolf, not dog.  You were bitten by a Lycan, not Lassie.”

*Out now - Passion's Flight. Tegan's Story*

First novella in the Knights of Excalibur Series:


Arthur and his Knights are back and ready to kick ass!
 
Merci Tramaine is not happy to be called back into service by her old boss Arthur, especially when she is charged to find her missing ex lover. Drake Monroe is Merlin reincarnated, with his powers bound by the Goddess Nimue he has become a skilled fighter, but no match for Nimue who kidnapped him determined to destroy him forever.
The bloodline of Morgan Le Fey taints Merci keeping her on the edge between light and dark, the Goddess’s wicked trap springs shut leaving both Drake and Merci racing against the clock. Passions ignite once again, but are they too late to plan a future or will they be torn from each other?
This time for eternity.


Excerpt:

Oh yeah, this was a very bad idea.
The minute Arthur’s name appeared on her caller ID, a hard knot formed in her belly. Alarm bells ringing in her head—an inner sixth sense—had warned her that picking up the phone would be a mistake. Arthur would talk about Drake. Arthur would ask for her help, which would ultimately involve Drake. When would she ever learn? She had left that life behind her when she split up with Drake, unable to be near him and keep a working objectivity. If that made her a selfish bitch, then so be it. She knew it was beyond her capabilities to keep an emotional distance when it came to Drake.
Arthur knew all that, too. Damn the man to the nine levels of hell!

Coming 2012 - The Kings Lady - Aurthur and Gwen'

  4. A hot hero to me is one that is rough around the edges but has a heart of gold (sometimes deeply buried but its there). Also a fierce protectiveness with those he cares about.
    I think if I had to choose I might go with Dark Passion Rising.

  5. A hero is hot when they show their soft side in their actions, but also ignite passion in their heroine.

  7. 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 chance to win! I'm a subscriber :)

  10. 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.
    I would love to win Dark Passion Rising.
    <^_^>
    Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.

  12. An alpha with intelligence, a witty sense of humor, compassion, strength, protective, comfortable in his own skin, clean, smells good, looks good in a suit or a pair of jeans and Tee that mold to his luscious body. He goes after what he wants and believes in and he doesn't give up with the going gets rough.
    Thanks for being part of the blog hop and for the giveaway. Your Dark Breed series sounds great. I just love the line, "You were bitten by a Lycan, not Lassie" It's just too perfect!
