Hot and Deadly Blog Giveaway Hop International

Why we like bad boys or antiheroes books?

In real life most of us seek the safety of our relationship and we tend, even at this level, to guard ourselves against that Chinese curse of living interesting times. But perhaps due to a sequence well caught somewhere in our DNA we're still looking (in imagination) the most powerful, that absolutely fatal alpha who can be on top of any situation and challenges. Because we get over of the "cave" phase we want this splendid - prerequisite - alpha capable of most tender feelings, passion and abnegation (for us of course).

Paranormal romance allows us to daydream. Some better written than others, some good and others not, all of them will continue the "tradition" of fairy tales in which the damsel in distress will be saved by the prince charming riding a white wonder horse beating the dragon with seven heads in straight fight or dishing the evil sorceress’ plans. And because science gives us sufficient evidence that there are actually no supernatural beings, then we can imagine anything. Vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, gods, angels or fallen angels, demons, witches and fae acquire human feelings and emotions, they are on the side of good or even better, they will cross on the side of good for us.

But why should we, women, be powerless? It would not be fair! So heroines will become independent, secure and true warriors. The “foreplay fight” between him and her will be tougher and funnier, more flavored. Everything is for reader’s delight.

Am I right?

I love werewolves. I do not care who but I do so enjoy them

VampedChik said...

Thats a hard one. There are sooo many great characters. I know one of them would be Spike from Buffy. He had a great sense of humor and was just such a fun character.

Chantelle said...

OMG! I'm glad you asked! Jacob Black from Twilight is my all time fav, like, omg. he's so hot!

Nara said...

Edward from the Twilight series! He's pretty much perfect- rich, hot, kind and the fact that he's an immortal vampire is pretty cool too!

sshah605 said...

My favorite supernatural male character is Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. I like him because he is quirky, sarcastic, charming when needs be and most of all he is vulnerable! That's a quality every good hero must have in a book!

Unknown said...

Lucien from Samantha Young's Moon Spell, because I love werewolves and he is sexy and protective and wow

Unknown said...

I can't choose right bow because there's two of them. Damon Salvatore, both from the books and the TV show, but especially from the books, because he's such a mysterious, sexy and dark character who won't give away anything about his feeling until the very end. And then there's Adrian Ivashkov, such a funny and adorable character.

Nathalie T said...

My favorite male character is Mircea from the Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance. Handsome, mysterious and with an edge. There are many similar character but according to me he is the best written.

Evie said...

Po from Graceling. He's brave, confident and charming. Thanks for the giveaway!

LadyVampire2u said...

There are so many great characters in books. My favorite is a hard pick. But right now if I simply HAD to pick just one, I would say my favorite would be Trehan from Kresley Cole's novel "Shadow's Claim". Thanks for the awesome giveaway.

deea s said...

nu cred ca as putea sa aleg care imi place cel mai mult:d toti...din toate cartile pe care le-am citit:D dar cred ca Lucas din Shadow Falls mi-a placut poate prea mult:D

Unknown said...

I like very much Daniel Grigori because he can fly being a fallen angel.

Unknown said...

My Favorite is the Carpathians from Christine Feehan's Dark Series! I love her twist on vampires.

andra lavander said...

Dimitri Belikov from Vampire Academy, he is for the rest of the world the antisocial, stoic guardian but for Rose he is the one that promise her his protectin, he is always there for the persons he loves, always protecting them, loving them, he made some mistakes, but this makes him even more real because nobody is perfect

Jess (A Book Addict's Bookshelves) said...

Got to be Patch from the Hush, Hush books. He's mysterious and he's got to be the hottest fallen angel ever :)

Unknown said...

I've just read Cynthia Luhrs' Lost in Shadow, so I'm currently loving Colin, a Shadow Walker. He's oh so sexy, gifted in the fine arts of loving, as well as a powerful supernatural creature who has spent centuries honing his gorgeous muscles in hand to hand combat with those nasty Day Walkers. He has all the traits a woman could want, plus, while he wants to protect the love of his life, he also believes she is his equal. Meeeooowww! michelle_willms@yahoo.com

My favorite male character would be Daniel Grigori from the Fallen Novel series. He only loves one girl through all eternity and that's romantic and true love.

Kristia said...

Bones from the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost! He's just perfect :)

Geo. said...

It's hard... really hard!
I have a lot of favorite male characters, but I think I'd say uhm...
Barrons, because he has funny lines and he's really strong (and attractive, but that's another problem).

Unknown said...

I'm going to go a bit old school here and go with Lestat...even though I kinda blame Anne Rice for the sorry state of vampire novels today.

joye said...

I like reading about werewolves since they seem so mysterious. Just like their illusive namesakes. People see wolves but know little about them and their habits.

ChloeDawn said...

My favorite male character is Dimitri from Vampire Academy because he is really smart, strong and protective with the people he loves.

Unknown said...

My favorite PRN hero is Acheron from Sherrilyn Kenyon's DH series. He has an absolutely tragic past, yet he has unlimited compassion. Plus he plays guitar, is a god, and never ages.

Let's see... It's kinda hard to choose, but I guess that Barrons, from KMM's Fever series,it's my favorite one. Because he's as spectacular, and powerfull, and strange as no other character I've ever read before... and after him. And he's hot like hell. :)))))

books4me said...

Gregory from Dark Magic by Christine Feehan is my favorite. He is "bad" and tortured by sweet and will do anything to protect his people and his mate!

Barrie

CBarton said...

One of my favorites would be Xander from Lizzy Ford's Xanders Chance. He was a virtual killing, pillaging and destroying machine for a very long time and along comes one little lady that makes him start to rethink all he has done and actually start caring about someone.
