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:

Zounds!  That’s a pretty fantastic collection of prizes, I’d say.

What’s my favorite thing about the alpha male hero?  I love that once he sets his sights on one particular woman, there’s no turning back.  He’s determined to woo her, protect her, and get her into his bed, no matter what.  You’ve got to love the idea of all that formidable energy and will focused on one woman.

The hero of my latest VK Sykes contemporary romance, Bigger Than Beckham, is that kind of alpha guy.  Tony Branch is a British soccer star who’s intent on building a sports empire of successful soccer teams.  He determined to buy a U.S. team owned by sports writer Martha Winston, and he’s not letting anything stand in his way of acquiring it–including Martha, who’s just as determined to hold onto her team.

But Tony is alpha all the way.  When he decides he wants Martha as much as he wants her team–watch out!  Nothing is going to stand in the way of this tough, sexy man and his relentless, seductive pursuit of Martha.

Here’s the blurb:

Sports journalist Martha Winston loves her career, but her life goes sideways when she inherits a pro soccer team from her father.  The team is almost bankrupt and on the skids, but Martha has vowed to save her beloved father’s legacy.  But she needs to get a financial infusion fast, or else lose the team to the wolves baying at her door.

Former British soccer hero Tony Branch wants to add Martha’s team to his growing sports empire.  But he wants it strictly on his terms—full control, not a partnership.   When Martha turns him down flat, he’s determined to change her mind by any means necessary.  If that includes using the sexual heat flaring between them, Tony is more than willing to play a game of seduction.

And you know what’s really fun?  How hard Tony falls for Martha.  When he sets his sights on her…well, let’s just say it gets pretty steamy!

So, readers, tell me your favorite thing about alpha male heroes?  Is it their determination to win what they want, their protective instincts, or how hard they fall for the women they love?  One person who comments will win a $10 Amazon gift card and a copy of Bigger Than Beckham.  And once you leave your comment here, click on this link and start hopping to the other blogs.  The hop ends on the 22nd.

Have fun!

3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack!

Wow!  Great prizes, eh?  All that, and a really fun discussion about the things we love about romance and romance novels.  So let’s get started.

What’s my favorite thing about romance novels?  It’s simple.  I love how much fun they are.  When I read a good romance I’m reminded of that intense, glorious rush of falling in love—of knowing deep within you that this particular person is the one for you.  No matter how angst-ridden the story, no matter how many obstacles the author places in the path of the hero and heroine, you can enjoy the journey and remember yourself how truly wonderful it is to find your soul mate.

As for my favorite romance…I think I’d have to go with Lord of Scoundrels, by Loretta Chase.  There’s a reason why this book tops so many best romances lists.  It’s got a brainy, funny heroine, a tortured, uber-alpha hero, the wittiest dialogue this side of the Mississippi, and so much genuine heart and emotion it bring tears to your eyes.  Lord Dain is the best hero I’ve ever come across, and I never grow tired of re-reading this book!

So, dear reader, if you could bring only ONE book with you to a deserted island, what would it be?  One person who comments on my blog will win a $10 Amazon gift card and a copy of my Regency-set historical romance, Sex And The Single EarlThis book, which won the prestigious Maggie Award for Best Historical Romance, is currently only available in digital format, so I’m giving away one of the few print copies I have left.  Trust me when I tell you that Sex And The Single Earl is very difficult to find in print!
