If you’ve come looking for some hot guys, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the Alpha Male Blog Hop, where the guys are all hard, hot, handsome heroes.
Don’t we love our Alphas? The more commanding the better. Men who know what they want and then claim it. A dominant man is possibly the sexiest thing on earth–think Brad Pitt, Don Draper, Daniel Craig, Russell Crowe. If you’re old school–Sean Connery, Clark Gable, Daniel Day Lewis, Mel Gibson. What used to be called a “man’s man.” Makes my mouth water just thinking about them. 🙂
An alpha commands respect from both males and females. He exudes confidence. He is a problem-solver-usually with fists or weapons, but just as often with his intelligence. He may be brooding or brash, violent or tender, cunning or courageous. But in the end, men will follow him without question and women will beg for his touch. A hero for all time.
Let me introduce you to some of my Alpha Males, the heroes of three of my books:
Duncan Ferrers, the Marquess of Dalbury from Only Scandal Will Do. Duncan is a rake of
the first order, with a string of conquests and mistresses. He’s a skilled swordsman, having fought several duels and killing two men in the process. The air of command sits easily on his shoulders. No one dares deny him anything.
Until he meets Lady Katarina Fitzwilliam who denies him everything: her body, her respect, her heart. When Alpha Male meets Alpha Female, the sparks fly as fast as their swords.
Only Scandal Will Do is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, ARe, and Lyrical Press.
In Betrothal, Sir Geoffrey Longford, a knight in the service of King Edward III of England, is a strong warrior. He’s seen battle often, fighting in the Hundred Year’s War or jousting for a heavy purse. Whatever the venue, Geoffrey’s skills with a sword have kept him safe and well provided. A born leader of men, he’s looked up to by other, more elevated nobles. He’s made a career of avoiding feminine entanglements–he wenches lustily with the best of them, but seeks no permanent attachment.
Enter Lady Alyse de Courcey, a waiting gentlewoman to the king’s daughter, and the woman his father has arranged for him to marry. Geoffrey’s smitten by the beautiful maid from their first meeting. But Lady Alyse has eyes only for another courtier. He must bring to bear all his charm and skill–both as warrior and ardent suitor–to win the lady’s heart without killing his best friend into the bargain.
Betrothal, Book One of Time Enough to Love, is set to release from Rising Phoenix Publications in late October.
And my final Alpha, Hunter Hopewell, is the mastermind of 7 Days of Seduction. He’s a
law student at California Berkeley, a man with a past, and one who knows what he wants in life. Her name is Ashley Thompson, a former student at Berkeley whose luscious body attracts Hunter like a lion to its prey. When he sees her potential for experimentation, he sweeps her off her feet (literally) and proposes an outrageous week of sexual adventure. Looking at Hunter’s gorgeous physique but unable to remember their first encounter, Ashley agrees to let him seduce her with sex. The question is, will she follow everywhere Hunter leads her?
7 Days of Seduction is set to release in late October from New Dawning International Bookfair.

I think the best thing about Alpha Males is that they aren’t threatened by strong females.
If I went with favorite Alphas, not including the ones I write about, I’d have to pick all the Mackenzie men (and Mac) from Linda Howard’s Mackenzie series, then there’s the Doms in Cherise Sinclair’s Shadowland series (especially Master Sam).

Oh, thank you thank you thank you, most giveaways exclude international winners for real books/swags.
I love Alpha men, because I need someone as confident and dominant as me to have an equal relationship – I hate the feeling that my partner is less powerful than me and cannot make it without me.
My favourite Alpha male is Gabriel from Annette Curtis Klause’s Blood and Chocolate, because he’s strong, confident and willing to fight for what he wants.

I’m going with possessiveness. Not entirely sure why, but I love it! Great post, Jenna! You three alphas are definitely good ones to add to the list. 🙂

For me it is a tie between that swaggering, knowing it but not an ass about it CONFIDENCE and the secret tender CARING side – the side that has him taking in the beaten up kitten or taking care of the old groom who put him on his first horse.

My favorite trait in an Alpha male is when the insist on paying ALL your bills, demand to put gas in your car, refuse to let you saddle your own horse, and wouldn’t hear of you working outside the home. Hehehe
