Strong, Sexy, Smart Alpha Males


An alpha hero, to me, must be strong, sexy and smart. In my opinion, one hero meets that description - 007, James Bond.

I grew up with Roger Moore's version of Bond, but I've come to appreciate the subtle and sexy Sean Connery so much more. Despite the time period in which the movies were made when censors were trying their best to keep sex and violence out of the movies, Sean Connery's subtle delivery of sexual innuendo was a surprise. His Bond was definitely strong, sexy and smart.

James Bond is not a typical hero. After all, he has a license to kill. He is very much a ladies man and a flirt. But he is always better than the bad guys he goes up against, doing whatever he can to protect himself and his current lady love.

Who is your favorite alpha hero and why? Leave a comment with your email address and you'll be entered to win one of THREE grand prizes. You'll also be entered to win a $5 Amazon OR Barnes and Noble gift card.

Prizes? Yes, I mentioned prizes. 

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
2nd Grand Prize: A $130 Amazon or B&N Gift Card

  8. 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.

  11. Two musts for any alpha male:
    1) He must know what he wants and will do anything come hell or high water to get it.
    2) Once he gets that, he must NEVER forget why he got there...the woman whom he wanted is his world and she must be treated with the proper respect she deserves.

  24. 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!

  41. I adore Jack Gordon from Liz Crowe's REALTOR series!

    Alpha 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!
