HUNKY HERO HOP WINNER:
Krista
Thanks to the ladies at Riverina Romantics for sponsoring this hop!
This is the perfect opportunity to spotlight my hunky heroes. What better way to describe these guys but with descriptions from their lovely heroine’s point of view. I hope you enjoy some sweet eye candy and tasty little excerpts!
My first hero is MAROONED IN MIAMI‘s Jason Royce. Here’s what happened when Stephanie first laid eyes on Marooned’s handsome hero:
“How about we chance it together?”
She spun around to see the source of those words that washed over her like a slow moving current. Stephanie’s breath caught when she turned toward the source of the silky voice. His eyebrows raised and waited for an answer to his question. His lips curled to showcase his straight white teeth. He appeared out of nowhere; surely she would have noticed him in the lobby. A day’s growth of dark stubble covered his chiseled cheekbones below dangerous blue eyes. Stephanie’s heart raced, while she imagined her fingers combing through his dark wavy hair.
BTW, Jason and Stephanie will be back this summer in Marooned’s sequel, LUSTED IN LAS VEGAS!
**********
Next up is William Locke from my new novella, SARA’S SMILE (May release from Bradley Publishing). Here is a snippet from the beginning of the story:
A familiar voice drew Sara Wiley’s concentration from her Blackberry to the crowded
Fifth Avenue corner where she stood waiting for the crossing signal to change.
A quick scan of the sidewalk revealed the source. Her eyes locked on a back view of broad shoulders outlined under a slate grey suit jacket. Gazing upward, she recognized the head of dark hair that skimmed the top of his collar. Sara sucked in a breath and her heart quickened. There was no mistaking the confident stance as he talked with the man standing next to him. Unable to speak or move from her spot beneath the street sign as the light changed, Sara simply watched as he was swallowed up by the crowd.
**********
Here’s my newest hero. Meet THE SATIN ROSE EXPERIENCE‘s Asher Cane. My SRE short story was just chosen for Evernight Publishing’s cyber anthology, Keyboards and Kink! Look for the antho release sometime in June.
The doors opened and she stepped out into a sanctuary. Dim lighting and soft, tantalizing music embraced her senses. The butterflies in her stomach worked overtime as she scanned the floor and her eyes met Asher’s. His dark hair hung loosely to his shoulders and a hint of stubble peppered his chiseled cheeks and strong jaw. His broad, squared shoulders filled his perfectly tailored suit jacket. Mia gaze traveled from his deep chocolate eyes to linger on his mouth.
**********
I can’t take credit for this last hero. He is Jon Cripps from Claire Gillian’s The P.U.R.E. This is Claire’s debut novel which released this week! I’m in the middle of reading this one and it’s indeed a page turner. I just adore the chemistry between Jon and Gayle. Romance, mystery, intrigue and office humor all rolled up into a really fun read, you should check it out!
Before me stood someone I barely recognized. Someone with
powerfully broad shoulders, and a taut, muscular stomach. Someone who obviously worked out. A lot. Bench presses, sit-ups and preacher curls, oh my! His chest displayed enough hair to label him a man, not a boy nor a gorilla.
Now that you’ve met a few hunky heroes, tell me which one you liked the best and why! One winner will receive their choice of a $10 Amazon or B&N gift card.
Don’t forget to leave your e-mail address and to stop at all of the blogs on the hop!
Following is sexy!

P.U.R.E. This description spoke loudest to me. I grew up around Wranglers and boots, not suits and ties. I like my men on the dirty side.

Oh I’m going with Asher. First, I love his name, second, he is smoking hot! The look in his eyes says he knows how to please a woman–with one hand tied behind his back, lol.
I cannot choose despite my obvious bias toward Jon. I think ALL the visual choices (the actors/models) match the men based on what I’ve read thus far–final version of Marooned, snippets of Sarah and a beta read of The Satin Rose. Best wishes for a kick butt hop!
You’ve got some great hotties up there! Thanks for taking part in our hop!
Jason Royce!! I have to admit though that I’ve read Marooned in Miami so I was picking him no matter what lol I can’t wait for LUSTED IN LAS VEGAS!!!!!

Asher….all the way home! My best wishes, Sandra
Asher Cane or Jason Royce which to choose…well I can’t I’ll take both wrapped with a bow please

William Locke from Sara’s Smile. If Chris Pine is your inspiration, well…
I can’t wait for Sara’s Smile, especially now that Chris Pine’s picture will forever be associated with it
He’s one half of my current hunky obsession these days (Chris Hemsworth is the other).
I do enjoy Jason though, and look forward to seeing more of him and Stephanie (and Gandy is sexay)!
Thanks for the chance to win

This is too hard. You know I’ve had it in for Jay ever since Marooned. Then, now you’re introducing me to William and then Asher. Sexy, you’re killing me! What am I supposed to do with all these beautiful men??? LOL! I’d be faithful to Jay, this once, only because I don’t know how hard I’ll fall in head over heels for your two new guys. I know I will fall, you’re men are great, I just don’t know how hard yet. tee hee.
Xoxo,
Evie
Got to go with Ahser!

They all sound good, but I like the description for Jon Cripps best. It’s more about the bod than the face.

not entering the giveaway. Just cruising by with the hop. I’ll answer the question for the fun of it. William, you gotta love a man that has a presence so great that he can swallow a crowd.
I’m gonna have to go with Jason. I love me a tall dark & handsome man who’s slightly scruffy & dangerous.
