The bad boys or the sensitive ones?
As readers, especially women, I think we all have a spot in our hearts and fantasies for either the bad boy or the sensitive one. Me, personally, I’m all about the vampire. Why? I think the risk and danger that goes with the “Will they or won’t they?” is sexy and interesting. In my latest paranormal romance release Soul, my hero is definitely a bad boy. Drebin is a seven-hundred-year-old demon sent from Hell. In the opening scene, Drebin is sent to entice his victim to kill herself so he can take her soul to Satan. His edginess and total disregard for human life I found beyond appealing as I wrote him. Dangerous. In my other release, Tyran’s Thirst, he is a vampire, and a very…excited one at that. No matter how hard Kat, my main female character, denies him, he pushes harder to get to her. A man that will tell you how it is even if you don’t want to hear it. Call me crazy, but how sexy can it get?
On the other hand we have the sensitive guy. He doesn’t have to be the nerd in class or the crying type. How about a man that cups your face as he leans in to kiss you? Or lays you down on a warm blanket and makes love to you under the stars? Massages with lotions and oils? Heck yes! We all swoon for him. He can still have the perfect six pack but when he falls in love with your family, children, even your dog, how can you deny this guy?
The perfect man, I feel, is a mixture of the two. The bad boy that will take down any person wishing you harm, but will still sweep you off of your feet and gently hold you throughout the night. Swooning again. Ladies, we need to put our feet down and demand more of the cross-type guy. More chiseled abs mixed with guns and attitude, along with gentleness and kissing. Now if I could only get my husband to be embrace his bad self…

Blood runs across the floor like a winter’s creek. It always puts a smile on his face. As a Taker – a demon sent to entice humans to commit suicide in order to gain their soul for Lucifer – Drebin is at the top of his game. He has already claimed 421 souls and there is no sign of him slowing down. Much like a fine wine, Drebin gets better with age.
Alexia Downer is just a few months into her freshman year of college and still undecided about a career. Ally is more than eager to meet new people and live up to the college stereotypes. But her gentle nature may cause her to put trust in the wrong person.
The stage is set, the hound is released, but Drebin begins to have second thoughts about his next victim, Alexia, his 422nd victim. Her beauty is mesmerizing and her spirit is captivating.
As much as he tries, Drebin cannot bring himself to destroy her, yet he must. He has a higher, more vicious power to answer to, after all…SOUL Buy Link:
When zombie hunting, Kathyrn Meloncamp has a great tip: although an ax is more effective, a sledgehammer is more fun.
Hell’s Gates have opened and blanketed the Earth in smoke. That is the easy pill to swallow. Zombies and vampires have descended from the hole and are quickly making a meal out of every human the planet has to offer. Kat had to learn, and very quickly, how to shoot a gun and wield a machete. While out looking for food, Kat is attacked by zombies but is saved by a man. The thank yous stop there when she realizes he is a vampire named Tyran. Escaping him proves to be useless with his speed and nose for blood. He forces her to keep him company, which could be more deadly than any zombie could ever be. TYRAN’S THIRST buy link:

Sounds like you like the bad boys, I think I do to, as long as they’re redeemable to naughty. I’m not normally a fan of zombie books but Tynan’s thirst sounds great.

I’m with you, the perfect guy is a mix of the two. I like both types, and have often said I’d like to see hero’s combining the best of each. Love your post and sound like my type of reads, more for the wishlist mountain.
