Welcome to my stop on the BOLD Blogapalooza Blog Hop Tour. Hang in there with me, there are are prizes to be won!
I’ve done a blog post before about why I love men, but the main reason is they are not women. (insert grin) Nothing irks me more than for the hero of a novel to talk like a heroine.
I know that the majority of these men are written by women. But, hey, we’re writers, and we should be able to not only make them sound masculine, but to make them sound heroic as well.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m married to a man’s man. DH drives a 4×4, carries a gun, says things like “hot damn” and “damn straight.” And there are few things my hubs would never say–
“I think we should…”
“Would you like to…”
“What do you think about…”
And I understand. It’s the price I pay for being married to an alpha male.
Today I want to introduce you to Brodie Harper, the hero from my debut novel Brodie’s Bride, and give you a list of 5 Things Brodie would never say.
1–“Why, yes, I’d love another shot of tequila.”
2– “I’m an ‘each man for himself’ kind of guy.”
3–“My mother should be nominated for Mom of the Year.”
4–“I feel more comfortable wearing a suit and tie.”
5–“Marrying Savanna was the biggest mistake I ever made.”
Yep, he’s the kind of guy who says things like, “hot damn” and “damn straight”. My favorite kind!
And today I’m going to give one lucky reader the chance to meet Brodie up close and personal. Just leave me a comment–tell me about your favorite kind of guy or just say hi– and your email address. I’m giving away an ecopy of Brodie’s Bride as well as a $20 Bath and Body Works gift card.
Thanks for stopping by. Lot’s of <3–Amie

LOL Would love to win a copy of your book and the bath and body works gc is great too! thanks so much for the chance! my favorite type of man is one that isn’t afraid to cry but also knows when to stand up for himself; is a fabulous and unselfish lover but knows when to make it a little rough (heheeh see I said I was thinking x-rated!); is an environmentalist and loves animals and isn’t afraid of tofu but also knows how to work a grill! hehehe

My favorite kind of man is my husband. (He’s sitting on the couch so I have to say that.) I love your post, very cute! Seems like he would be a nice character to read about!

Hi there! This looks like a good book! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Thanks. It was a lot of fun to write. :)
I like guys who are smart and have a sense of humor. Thanks for this post and the chance at the giveaway.

You’re very welcome. I like guys with a sense of humor, too. My husband’s hysterical, but he’s a cop so not everybody gets to see that side of him. Good luck and thanks for coming by! :)
Ok I started a new wip today and totally missed this! Am I too late? I’ve been trying to win Brodie forEVER! and if I missed my chance I’ll go to bed and just cry myself to sleep. :( Brodie and your dh sound like my hubbs. lol
My new hero is like that, alpha all the way baby- with a soft spot for the heroine. Love this post Amie (and I need more Java Dave’s :D)
You’re just in time, Calisa–actually the contest ends Sunday night at midnight eastern. Yep, our hubs probably have a lot in common–Oklahoma boys through and through! Boomer Sooner!!
I definitely love alpha men. Men who know what they want and go for it, but do not feel the need to hurt or disrespect others to make themselves feel better. manning_j2004 at yahoo dot com
You know, June, I think that trait is what takes them from ordinary alpha to romance hero. But that’s another post! Thanks for stropping by ! :)
I love alpha males!! I would like to have the one with the rope:) Maybe I will ask my husband for him under my tree. Your book looks very good! Thanks for giveaway!!

What I like in a guy is a good sense of humor, you need that these days to get through day to day life. Looks like a good book, enjoyed the pic! But really like the pics you had of Josh Duhamel :) thanks for the giveaway!

Favorite kind of guy is my husband, he’s a Mountain Man. Very patient and Very Large (6’6″) I mean..teehee. I’d love to win this book and gift card thanks!
Your mountain man sounds fantastic! Lucky you! :)
i like the “bad boy” type
chevychick65@hotmail.com
Ooo…bad boys…yum!
I love the “pirate” in romance books, cowboys are okay but prefer them in historical romance books. but I also love the “Greek” men in contemporary romance books. Tall, dark and handsome :)
tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com
Pirates–definitely! But I have to admit I love cowboys too–no matter what the year!
mmmm a man’s man….yeah kinda like harrison ford, or tom selleck! yum! stephanie miller at steffiessweetsinsations@gmail.com
You got it~ I’ve been looking for a blond headed hero pic for my new WIP, and I’m having a terrible time! Been lamenting the days of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The latest is Matthew McConaughey. What happened to guys like that? I want ’em back!!!
My favorite kind of guy is one who treats me like a princess – also? Rugged good looks are nice too :D
The royal treatment is definitely good to have!
I like guys who can make me laugh and are strong in their principles.
Stand up guys are the best! (No, not like *that*!) LOL thanks for sharing!
my email addy is gingeroo616 at aol dot com
You’re entered! :)
The comments are funny :), I like my hubby but since my hubby won’t see this comment that dude is pretty hot!
Funny…thanks for the giveaway!
And we never tell around here! Thanks for coming by!! :)
i love reading books and doing reviews. Well, this sounds like a book I could really get into. My kind of guy is one that is caring and just loves me to be me and nothing more. I need to be able to see something beyond what he looks like.
Great giveaway.
asha.marie@Hotmail.com
You are so right! I know we all like to look at the “man candy”, but it’s how they treat us that means the most! Thanks for your comment! :)
My kind of guy would basically be the Gentle, Giant type, but sad to say, to me some men are nice to look at but they usually are the ones who are in love with themselves lol
Sad but true! LOL Thanks for coming over today!
Hi and thanks for the giveaway! I have look forward to reading this book. Sounds very good.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it! :)
