  1. Hi again, Katie, and welcome! :)

    My favorite type of fictional hero is tall, dark, handsome, loyal, and protective. In real life, my hero must make me laugh...which my husband does. The fact that he encompasses all the traits of my favorite type of fictional hero is a plus! ::wink::

    1. Hi Andrea!

      Sounds like my type of man. I love loyal and protective heroes with a sense of humor. My husband keeps me laughing too. One day, I decided to give him a pedicure. (Why are alpha men so bad at cutting their toenails?) As I was filing his nails, he looked down and said, "I feel just like a show dog." Ha! He kills me. Happy Holidays and be sure to give your hero a big kiss!

    2. LOL!! Thanks, Katie. I sure will!

  2. Someone with a sense of humor and I do like the alpha male in my reading. Someone honorable - tough on the outside but a softy on the inside. And if he's a hunk too, I won't complain lol.I have to say I really enjoyed Going Cowboy Crazy!

    1. Isn't a sense of humor essential, catslady?

    2. I agree, Catslady! Love a sense of humor. And a tough softie. I think you're going to like the hero I'm working on now. Dusty Hicks is tough on the outside but a softie with women and kids. I'm so glad you liked Going Cowboy Crazy. I hope you have the happiest of holidays!

  3. Hi Katie! So nice to have you with us today. I enjoyed Hope and Faith's stories and am looking forward to reading the rest of your books. Andrea's been raving about Hunk for the Holidays. It's on my tbr waiting for a break in my hectic holiday schedule!

    I tend to gravitate toward alpha males but with a sense of humor and a soft core when it comes to their ladies.

    1. I hope you get a chance to read it soon, PJ!

  4. Katie, I've been enjoying some modern westerns lately, and Trouble in Texas sounds like great fun! So does Hunk for the Holidays. I'm on the lookout for holiday-themed books in the hope of actually reading them soon.

    My favorite hero type is the alpha male with highly developed honor and compassion.

  5. Intelligence, integrity, and a sense of humor are high on my list. I'm glad romance readers don't have to choose one type of hero to the exclusion of others. I can certainly think of alphas and gammas that have left me sighing blissfully, but I have a special place in my heart for beta heroes.

  6. I just got 'Hunk for the Holidays' so I get to read that over Christmas!
    I like my hero to be big & strong, have a sense of humor, caring, relates well children-animals-seniors, is committed to something and loves the heroine with his whole heart.

  7. I am a Beauty and the Beast fan and like the Beast type of hero. Wounded, misunderstood, and a bit discouraged but refusing to acknowledge it. He may be rough around the edges and abrupt, but it is a protective measure to keep from getting hurt. He has a lot to give, but doesn't think anyone wants it.
