Ornery is great for conflict. And when he's vulnerable he's definitely huggable. Those are some hot heroes you mentioned!<BR/><BR/>Marie-Claude, so nice to see you here! I'm glad you liked the post and you sure named some hot heroes too! I have a thing for bad boys and warriors too!<BR/><BR/>Keena, I loved Clive Owen in Elizabeth The Golden Age!! Intelligence and physical prowess combination makes a hot, delicious hero!<BR/><BR/>kh, oooh yeah Colin is definitely hot! I loved him in the Miami Vice movie and in The New World.<BR/><BR/>Sue, Absolutely! You've described one of my favorite types of heroes to read about! I love the emotion those kinds of dark, troubled heroes bring to the story.<BR/><BR/>Carol, I love those cocky sports heroes too! Rachel Gibson has written some hot ones. Timothy Dalton and Colin Firth also my favs!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting!!!Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-55923099372021222492008-08-13T00:52:00.000-04:002008-08-13T00:52:00.000-04:00Wow, Nicole, you've described the perfect hero! I...Wow, Nicole, you've described the perfect hero! I love James Bond, and Daniel Craig is doing a great job in the role. Timothy Dalton in Jane Eyre was so tortured. Loved Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice. I love a cocky sports hero too who's really sensitive deep down inside.

In the face of adversity, they prove themselves by solving problems and standing side by side with a heroine instead of controlling her. He's dark, sexy, and deep but with the woman he loves he becomes even more. He becomes loving, giving and compasssionate.<BR/>Sue WebbSuzi Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483653585473810974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-8851181142565512122008-08-13T00:19:00.000-04:002008-08-13T00:19:00.000-04:00so many i like colin farrel he hot in anythingkhso many i like colin farrel he hot in anything<BR/><BR/>khAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-14875658528498117122008-08-12T19:56:00.000-04:002008-08-12T19:56:00.000-04:00I swoon for warrior-poets.

A man who wields a sword and a pen with equal ease.<BR/><BR/>I'm absolutely racking my brain at the moment to think of a good, modern example of a warrior-poet, but Clive Owen is the only one coming to mind. <BR/><BR/>Ack!

Ornery, too. :-) Vulnerable with his lady. <BR/><BR/>Jason, Gerard, Daegus, yes. But, I also love all of the Sandra Hill Viking warriors and Navy Seals and all of those Long, Tall, Texans that Diana Palmer does so well. Julie Garwood's historical heroes. Okay, stopping now.Elen Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642523944054212605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-51312330260414276562008-08-12T15:38:00.000-04:002008-08-12T15:38:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for visiting and commenting, ladies...Thanks so much for visiting and commenting, ladies! You're entered in my contest.<BR/><BR/>Mary, I LOVED Daegus MacKelter too. Sigh. He's definitely lickable!! :-) Of course, most of KMMoning's heroes are yummy! Adam was one of the most larger-than-life hot and delicious ones.<BR/><BR/>Shannon, I will sigh several times for Gerard Butler! I've developed a major 'thing' for him. (I suppose you noticed how I included his pic in this post. ;-) ) I loved him in PS I Love You (cried my eyes out) and he was hot in a more commanding, alpha way in 300. And the way he treated his wife in that, loved it! His accent is so wonderful. He was the inspiration for my hero in Beast in a Kilt.<BR/><BR/>Lexi, I love those Bourne movies too. The suspense is riveting and Jason seems almost fearless. Other times, I like seeing his vulnerabilities. Plus his intelligence is sexy. He seems capable of almost anything. A hero who's tough on the outside but tender on the inside is the best!Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-6940791523325365692008-08-12T14:19:00.000-04:002008-08-12T14:19:00.000-04:00Shannon, you're right about Butler in PS I Love Yo...Shannon, you're right about Butler in PS I Love You! He was AWESOME!<BR/><BR/>For me, I love a hero who jumps to protect/defend the heroine, not just in dangerous situations, even if she's quite capable of taking care of herself. I like a hero who's tough on the outside, but with the heroine is gentle and tender. My favorite hero is Jason Bourne. I'm obsessed with the movies.

One of my all time favorite movie heroes is - and I can just hear you sigh with me :) - Gerard Butler. OMG! Can you possibly create anyone more sexy and loveable than that man?? He was absolutely perfect in P.S. I Love You - if you haven't seen it, go rent it right now!<BR/>OK, back on track - anyways, I love a sensitive, hot, caring alpha male who will just sweep the heroine off her feet, take care of her needs, but still allow her independence to shine through. I love a man who'll accept his heroine as equal. <BR/>Great post!!<BR/>Shannon RobinsonShannon Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612091878514512925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-6303589569961146532008-08-12T10:58:00.000-04:002008-08-12T10:58:00.000-04:00I'm a sucker for the bad boys, so a dark, mysterio...I'm a sucker for the bad boys, so a dark, mysterious past always makes me go gaga. Of course, being the tall dark alpha male doesn't hurt - Daegus MacKeltar from The Dark Highlander by Karen Marie Moning has really stuck in my head, even though it's been a long time since I read the book. I definitely would want to lick him! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326240169480407848noreply@blogger.com
