What is your favorite thing about Alpha Heroes? Well, we authors are ready to share our favorite Alpha Males, our favorite things about them, and everything sexy and heated about those Alpha Males you can think of. *wink* Starting on Friday and ending on Oct 22nd, over 200 Authors and Bloggers will share their favorite things about those sexy men we know and love.
And while we do that, we are EACH doing a giveaway. Yep. There will be over 200 giveaways on each blog hosted by that Author or Blogger.
But that's not all....
We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!
Now what are those prizes?
1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
2nd Grand Prize: A $130 Amazon or B&N Gift Card
3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack!
Every comment gets entered into our Grand Prize giveaway, and every commenter will receive something, and YOU EVEN GET TO CHOOSE. Now, when were you ever given the choice of prizes on a blog hop? Be sure you follow the instructions at the end of this post.
We have 6 Alpha Heroes: Daniel DePalma, Joshua Brandon, Marcus Monteleone, Paolo Monteleone, SOC Kyle Lansdowne and SO Calvin Cooper. You get to vote for one of them (or another hero, if you must), by leaving a comment and telling us all why you think they should win, and what would you do with them to celebrate?
So, since this is election season, here are the descriptions of the candidates, and their Hollywood likenesses:
Joshua Brandon: A colorful dark angel who was looking forward to an eternity of partying with his former best human friend, Daniel, bedding women in the Underworld as well as "on top" in the human world, until the guardian angel intervened. He has a fondness for redheads, especially redheadded guardian angels. He hates birds and detests order and rules. But he soon finds that, among other things, he has grown a conscience and finally meets a soul he cannot claim. He faces the ultimate sacrifice when he is asked to deliver that very woman to the Director of the Underworld to become a concubine. He discovers there are rules worth dying for.
Marcus Monteleone: A 300-year old golden vampire, has spent most of those years searching for his fated female, only to find her dying in his arms. He saves her life by turning her, only to be enjoined by the rules of his breed, to not interfere with her once human life. He does not believe he has fathered a child by a half vampire half witch/villainess, but he feels an obligation to take responsibility for the boy. In the end, he is willing to spend eternity without her if it means she will be safe from the jealous mother of the boy.
Paulo Monteleone: Brother to Marcus. He loves human women, and, unlike his brothers and sisters, does not take golden vampire mates and chooses to marry outside the fating, resisting a fating that went terribly wrong. He falls in love with a professor of legend and myths, who claims she knows everything about the "non-existant" golden vampires of Tuscany. He finds he is willing to sacrifice his immortal life to rescue his human lover from those that want her silenced.
Calvin Cooper: Nebraska farm boy turned U.S. Navy SEAL. A specialist with gadgets, a medic and one of the tallest SEALs to ever graduate BUD/S. He is ordered to meet the family of a fallen SEAL medic, to help him heal the loss of his own family in a tornado. He helps a prominent psychiatrist protect his family, including his lovely daughter, from a psychopathic killer bent on revenge.
Now for your choice:
1. Dog Tag from Accidental SEAL
2. Amazon Kindle version SEAL Encounter.
Be sure to leave your name, AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, and please do so in code like: Jane Doe (at) gmail (dot) com.
Have fun, and good luck!!

Paulo Monteleone is who I would pick to win the Highland Games. Vampire strength plus there is something about him that appeals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!

I always reward early/first responders. Enjoy your prize and thank you for dropping by.
DeletePaolo is indeed swoon-worthy. The strength with which he loves is eternal, and takes a strong human woman to tame that. Great choice.
I am torn between Kyle and Calvin. It's a SEAL thing. *shrugs*

DeleteMy choice is Calvin although it was very hard to pick between him and Kyle.
ReplyDeletesstrode at scrtc dot com
Not so sure I could choose either. Thanks for stopping by. Dog tags or SEAL Encounter?
DeleteI'm picking Calvin Cooper because I have to cheer for a fellow Nebraska even if he is a fictional character. lol Also I would go with the SEAL Encounter. Thanks for the giveaway.

DeleteI love Alpha men, because I need someone as confident and Dominant as me to have an equal, loving relationship. oceanrebel333@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI agree. What prize to you want to claim?
DeleteI'd like Seal Encounter, please! Thank you so much.
DeleteThis is a tough choice, I like Joshua (Dark Angels are so hot)especially if they look like Johnny Depp and then there is Marco and Paulo I am such a sucker for vampires. So I think it would be a three way tie :).
ReplyDeletevampiremistress2010(at)gmail(dot)com
LOL, that would make one interesting 3-way! which prize do you want?
DeleteIt's a tie.. Joshua and Marcus. Joshua would die to save the woman he loves and Marcus would have given up his love to keep her safe.. Who couldn't resist a man that would do either of those things for the women they love?
ReplyDeleteWe would celebrate with champagne, chocolate and whipped cream in a secluded romantic hideaway... no need to say anymore....
Thanks for being part of the blog hop and for the giveaway!
Best wishes and continued success

I think I would have to go with Calvin. I have always been a farm girl, and SEALs, well....I married a Navy man, so...seems like a no brainer!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway!
cassandrahicks1989 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com
I loved writing him too. Which prize would you like?
DeleteMy pick would be Joshua Brandon. I love a bad boy that grows a conscious! Reminds me of a favorite television character. It didn't hurt that Johnny Depp's photo was next to it. :) I think he would win the games because he doesn't follow the rules. As far as celebrating, I think those thoughts are best left in my brain.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway and blog hop!
charmedpoms(at)yahoo(dot)com
LOL. Your secret is secure. Special prize coming. Thanks for stopping by the blog today.

Thanks rfg. Your Encounter is just beginning.
DeleteGreetings,
ReplyDeleteDoing the Alpha Male blog hop….oh yeah! I‘m excited to be a part of this hop! Wow, 200+ authors---a perfect opportunity to meet new authors! It’s always fun trying to visit as many sites as possible.
I love alpha heroes who are take charge men! They are loyal, loving and caring men. They usually have sexy looks, brains, money and a commanding presence that draws people. When they find their mates and fall in love they will move heaven and earth to stake their claim. This is exciting to watch even when they are not sure why they have to have or be with this particular person. An awesome love dance! It’s definitely addicting to read.
I would add Michael Early...sexy and yummy eyes!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some great prizes.

ReplyDeletemythic021 at gmail dot com
Your Encounter is just beginning!
DeleteAnd I sent you a message. I misread your preference. We'll fix that right away...
DeleteThanks again.
Why I love Alpha Males is no real surprise! The perfect Alpha Male for me could be a Vampire, a Scottish Laird, an English Rogue/Gentleman, a Werewolf or Shape-shifter, or a Knight. He’s the rogue who thinks he can’t be reformed into a gentleman. He’s the rough and scarred Scottish laird that has a heart of gold. He’s the werewolf or shape-shifter that needs to heal an aching heart because it took him years to find his true mate. He’s the vampire who has waited decades for that special someone’s blood to sing to him and wake him up. And he’s the knight who can defeat the enemy with a quick swing of his sword, but can’t see the love in front of his face. My Alpha Male has eyes that can see into your soul and are as blue as the sea, or as black as a storm. He’s tall and brooding. His heart can enfold you into its grasp and make you fall in love when he gives it to you freely and completely. He is protective and passionate. In the end he is the one that makes your heart jump and butterflies fly in your stomach, and still kiss you until your legs melt!
ReplyDeleteId pick Joshua Brandon
Angelheart618@gmail.com
Oh, good choice. Special gift coming your way. Thanks for showing up. Yum on your response. Love all those alphas you describe!
DeleteI pick Paulo because willing to sacrifice his immortality is a big deal.
ReplyDeletebituin76 AT hotmail DOT com
Prize on its way to you. Thanks. I do love Paolo. Such angst, so willing to sacrifice.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteMy vote is for Marcus! I love vampires...especially one that has the deep-seated need to do what's right and sacrifice everything.
ReplyDeletefelthauserdeanna@yahoo.com
DeAnna, yes, Marcus is truly someone to snuggle with! Bites coming your way.
DeleteBecause I have thing for hot SEALs and sweet farm boys, I'd have to say Calvin Cooper all the way! But, if he didn't win, then definitely Joshua cause I mean, it's Johnny Depp...who won't choose him?
ReplyDeleteAlpha males are the best….strong, independent, fiercely protective, but on the inside they are nothing but a big ol’ teddy bear! I love the way their mouths talk filthy, but their eyes portray their sensitive sweet. They can be rough and tough in the bedroom, but still have the gentle caress of an attentive and protective lover. It's all in the heart.....alpha males are the best!
Thanks for participating in the hop!
molly at reviewsbymolly dot com
Molly, love the analogy of the "mouths talk filthy but their eyes portray their sensitive sweet(ness)." I like when my characters' trash talk masks things that are felt deep down, and never spoken about. Something special coming your way.
DeleteOh and my choice is Dog Tags to add to my collection of amazing swag! Thanks!

Thanks for participating in the hop!
dmr8888 at yahoo dot com
Thanks, Alicia. So glad you are having a good Encounter!
DeleteThanks for stopping by today.
No problem, one of the fun things about these hops is discovering new books to read and getting to interact with some favorite authors :)
DeleteI would have to go with Calvin! But they all sound so enticing! xstitchdiva(at)att(dot)net
ReplyDeleteYour encounter is just beginning. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteThey all sound WONDERFUL, but I think my choice is Calvin, besides being a SEAL, I love me some farm boys! I would love to read SEAL Encounter.
ReplyDeletemygirls01(at)yahoo(dot)com
Can't go wrong with Coop. He's a hunk and a half. Your Encounter is just beginning! Coop's in there too...
DeleteKyle Lansdowne: cause as a seal he is used to winning
ReplyDeletemeandi09@yahoo.com
Yeah, Kyle is pretty cool, as the Team leader. Thanks for stoping by. Your Encounter is beginning.
DeleteMarcus Monteleone is my favorite.
ReplyDeletemagic5905 at embarqmail dot com
Ah, yes. My favorite part is when Marcus talks to Anne for the first time in Starbucks, and he convinces her she can feed from him, just once, knowing she will never want to let him go. He's a bit of a bad boy, but oh so delicious!
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
I am torn between Marcus & Paulo (Love vamps)

manning_J2004 at yahoo dot com
June, wise choice. See my comment to Joy above. He drives a black Ferrari, too. So wonderful to be finishing Paolo's story right during Halloween season! Me meets his love at a costume party, but Paolo goes as himself: a vamp.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Kyle or Calvin will win.The competitive nature of the SEAL will come to the fore. Would love to win Seal Encounter. KYLE would win, after all, he is a team leader. annpa@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHow could those vampires win, they would be sleeping.annpa@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAnna - my vamps are goldens. They sleep in a real bed and can be out in the sun...
DeleteBut I know what you mean about the SEAL heroes. They are the ones who save the day in real life. Why not in our fantasy lives as well. Your Encounter is just beginning! Good luck with the grand prize drawing.
Kyle.. of Kyle *.* He must win! I think he is my favorite but it's pretty hard to choose only one!
ReplyDeleteverusbognar (at) gmail (dot) com
Loving the awesome blog hop!
ReplyDeleteSo many new books I want to read!
Alpha Males are my fav! So, dominate and fun to tease. And when they talk feelings they mean every word!

Thanks for stopping by. Your Encounter is on its way.
DeleteMy vote is for Calvin Cooper. Are you going to write a book with all of them in the highland games? That would be cool.
ReplyDeletephaedracamille@gmail.com
No, not the Highland Games, no. Although that would be fun. Just a manner of speaking, pitting the heroes up against each other. The SEALs are kicking the vamps butts! Somehow, I think they'd like that.
DeleteCooper's book is due out shortly. Your Encounter is on its way.
I love alpha heros. So hot! :) Thank you for the awesome hop and giveaway! This is so much fun!

ReplyDeletei totally want to read your books
raynekitten(at)gmail (dot) com
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, powerful and passionate - quite the package, in so many ways!
DeleteEnjoy your Encounter.
My pick would be Marcus. I think spending eternity with someone you hate just to do the responsible thing and protect your true love is about the most you could ever ask of an immortal vampire. If he's willing to go that far, I think he would do whatever it took to win the day.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have one of your dogtags if I may. Thanks for the offer and being a part of this awesome hop.
