Alpha males are wonderful — I’ve enjoyed reading their exploits in romantic suspense novels by Pamela Clare and Cindy Gerard.
But my ideal hero has a mix of Alpha AND Beta. He’s wounded, physically and/or emotionally, and therefore has a lot of depth. He’s intelligent and respectful of women. He’s clean-shaven, tall, and lean. And I don’t mind him in handcuffs (wait…the Hot in Handcuffs Giveaway just ended!) My ideal hero is not a bad boy, but a man who gets in trouble due to standing up for others.
When I was dating more, I sought a man who was athletic and could talk about his feelings.
And I wonder why I’m still single! *snorts*
Anyway, Carrie Ann offers some amazing GRAND PRIZES if you comment and leave your email address on the comment:
Wow! Thanks, Carrie Ann. Hop to all the blogs and enter 200+ times!
And I’m sweetening the pot by giving away two ebooks of my novels which feature sexy alpha/beta heroes: With Good Behavior (romantic suspense) and Streamline (YA swimming romance).

My favorite alpha male is Samuel from Patricia Briggs's books. I love that he has a compassionate side and loves taking care of people and animals. He is strong, loyal, loving…He also has a past that I am longing to get resolved. FYI, he is a beta when he is around his dad or brother.phaedracamille@gmail.com

Oohwie – look at all the alpha maleness. But I'm with you & prefer some beta in a guy. Love what you said about him getting in trouble because he's standing up for others. that is Grant all the way. Oh, and I think I completely neglected to tell you how much I love your one line blurb on your story:Planning a wedding is never easy, especially when the Russian Mafia want you dead.LOVE it!

My favorite book Alpha Male is Xavier (from my Existence series). But for a more romance-book-like character, Noah Clayborne from Julie Garwood's \”Shadow Dance\” appeals to me as an Alpha because he is strong, intelligent, and has just the right amount of arrogance.
