Alpha Male Blog Hop


It's time to celebrate alpha males in The Alpha Male Blog Hop hosted by Carrie Ann Ryan!  The hop begins today and continues through October 22nd.  Over 200 authors and bloggers are participating, offering up a prize at every stop.  But that's not all....

We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win.

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
(International)
2nd Grand Prize: A $130 Amazon or B and N Gift Card
(International)
3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack!
(US Only)


I happen to love alpha males, both as a reader and as a writer.  I like their strength, their determination.  I like their willingness to do anything and sacrifice everyything to protect those they love.  I particularly like alpha males who prefer strong women.  I even like the bad boy alpha males. 

Sebastien Newcombe, the hero in my latest release – Phantom Shadows, Book 3 in my Immortal Guardians paranormal romance series – has been very bad.  So bad, in fact, that he was a villain when my series began.  Bastien once raised an army of psychotic vampires and waged war with the Immortal Guardians, powerful immortal warriors who seek to protect humanity by hunting and destroying vampires.  Then his world turned upside down and Bastien now must fight alongside the immortals.  Needless to say, his entrance into their ranks is not going well.  Neither the immortals, nor the humans who aid them, are willing to let him forget his dark past and dark deeds.  But much is at stake, and Bastien has never backed down from a challenge.  When he refuses to do so now, Dr. Melanie Lipton raises her voice – and her blades – in his defense, fighting by his side and winning the heart he thought had long since died.

My Prize
(International)

For my prize, I’m offering a signed copy of Phantom Shadows + Immortal Guardians swag.   


I hope you'll enjoy Bastien and Melanie's story!

Top Pick
"With a deeply emotional love story, two beautiful, complex main characters and a pulse-pounding adventure that won't let up, this book was haunting and addictive and I loved every page."
~ The Romance Reviews

4.5 stars
“Knowing your enemies is a key concern in the newest installment of Duvall's excellent Immortal Guardians series. Vampires, and the virus that drives them insane, have been the primary threats that our heroes have been fighting against, but there is a new player in town. With this excellent entry, rising star Duvall is fast proving to be a major player in paranormal romance!”
RT Book Reviews

Dr. Melanie Lipton is no stranger to the supernatural. She knows immortals better than they know themselves, right down to their stubborn little genes. So although a handsome rogue immortal seems suspicious to her colleagues, Sebastien Newcombe intrigues Melanie. His history is checkered, his scars are impressive, and his ideas are daring. But it's not his ideas that have Melanie fighting off surges of desire. . .

Bastien is used to being the bad guy. In fact, he can't remember the last time he had an ally he could trust. But Melanie is different – and under her calm, professional exterior he senses a passion beyond anything in his centuries of experience. Giving in to temptation is out of the question – he can't put her in danger. But she isn't asking him. . .

Excerpt

She stared at him in silence for so long he began to feel a bit self-conscious. “You can feel other people’s emotions?” she asked finally.  

“Yes. And Stuart’s told me he was lying to try to save his ass.”

Again she stared at him.

“What?” he asked when the silence stretched.

“You can feel my emotions? Right now?”

“No. I have to touch you to feel them.”

“So . . .”

He could see her considering it, trying to remember every time he had touched her or she had touched him. At the network. In her car. At David’s. Trying to remember what she might have inadvertently revealed.

“You might have mentioned it. Given me a little warning.”

“Such didn’t occur to me.”

More silence.

“What do you feel when you touch me?” she asked.

Bastien’s attention dropped to her full lips as she licked them anxiously. “Sometimes I feel your concern. Sometimes uncertainty. Clinical detachment. Fear the first time we met.”

“Well, our first meeting was rather . . . explosive.”

That was putting it mildly.

“What else?”

He knew what she sought. “Sometimes my gift tells me you feel what I feel myself every time I look at you. Or think of you. Or touch you.”

Her soft, smooth neck moved with a swallow. “You’re attracted to me.”

“Yes.”

“I’m attracted to you.”

“I know.”

“What are we going to do about it?”

  6. Love alpha males for their attitude and silent but strong personality. They give the heroine a feeling of being protected, controlled, dominated and more importantly wanted and loved.

    I don't have one favorite alpha (there are simply too many)

    I've done all the extra's for the extra entries.

  21. I retweeted, followed (I'm racail333) and am now also following your blog.

    I love Alphas, because I need someone as confident and dominant as me to be an equal in our relationship - I hate the feeling as if partner is less powerful than me and cannot make it without me.

    My favourite Alpha male is Gabriel from Annette Curtis Klause's Blood and Chocolate, because he's strong, confident and willing to fight for what he wants.

    Thanks for doing this!

  34. Why I love Alpha Males is no real surprise! The perfect Alpha Male for me could be a Vampire, a Scottish Laird, an English Rogue/Gentleman, a Werewolf or Shape-shifter, or a Knight. He’s the rogue who thinks he can’t be reformed into a gentleman. He’s the rough and scarred Scottish laird that has a heart of gold. He’s the werewolf or shape-shifter that needs to heal an aching heart because it took him years to find his true mate. He’s the vampire who has waited decades for that special someone’s blood to sing to him and wake him up. And he’s the knight who can defeat the enemy with a quick swing of his sword, but can’t see the love in front of his face. My Alpha Male has eyes that can see into your soul and are as blue as the sea, or as black as a storm. He’s tall and brooding. His heart can enfold you into its grasp and make you fall in love when he gives it to you freely and completely. He is protective and passionate. In the end he is the one that makes your heart jump and butterflies fly in your stomach, and still kiss you until your legs melt!

  35. I totally love the over confident, strong willed, somewhat over-bearing protective Alpha. With that said, he also needs to have 'the looks' I so love: dark longish hair, over 6'3", green eyes with long black eyelashes, a killer smile, and dimples are a bonus. Don't forget that muscular physique. No doubt he'll have a cocky attitude with all that greatness above, which I also love, but he better have some Snark in his sense of humor. I need to laugh AND want to kick his a$$ at the same time. lmao

  38. In my books I like an alpha to be strong, somewhat arrogant, and definitely have a snarky sense of humor (think Damon Salvatore of The Vampire Diaries) and you have my perfect alpha. I like some bad with the good hidden inside (the deeper the better). Like you, I prefer when they like strong woman. I do have to say for my relationships I like the betas. Maybe that is what I am doing wrong. :( Thanks for being a part of the blog hop. I have also liked you on Facebook : Marlena Fein.

  50. What I like most about alpha males is their confidence and strength of character. But I also love their misguided thinking that they have to save the girl every time, when many times its the girl that saves them by breaking through their tough exteriors to that tender place waiting inside.

  59. I actually prefer a beta because most of the time, alphas do not leave room for compromise. but betas, they are a notch away from being alphas but also leave room to compromise. Sometimes alphas are too overwhelming. It's fun sometimes but not all the time. Thanks for the opportunity! ;)

  70. I just love how take charge alphas are. I already have my copy of Phantom Shadows and hope to read it this week, so I don't need to be entered in your personal giveaway, but I did follow your blog so I can keep track of your future books. :)

  71. Some of the Alpha's I like to read about are in Lora Leigh's Breed Series, J.D. Tyler's An Alpha Pack novel, Patricia Briggs Alpha and Omega Series, and Michelle Hauf's books. I like Alpha's that are strong and know what want & aren't afraid to go for it either even if they have to take risks to get it. I also like Alpha's that's not afraid to let his mate fight that she too can be powerful and together they are a team they work together. Alpha's that fight for what they want, declare their mates and don't let anyone get in their way of their true love and happiness.

  72. I like my alphas confident, intelligent and extremely protective of what they consider theirs. It's also important to me that he be loyal and true for those he cares about~ while having the ability to be extremely dangerous toward everyone else.

    Alpha males are the best….strong, independent, fiercely protective, but on the inside they are nothing but a big ol’ teddy bear! I love the way their mouths talk filthy, but their eyes portray their sensitive sweet. They can be rough and tough in the bedroom, but still have the gentle caress of an attentive and protective lover. It's all in the heart.....alpha males are the best!

    Jack Gordon from Liz Crowe's REALTOR series rocks!

    Thanks for participating in the hop!

  100. Ihave to admit in real life, I much prefer a Alpha/Beta mix - I don't think I could deal with a real Alpha! I think a good Alpha character must have strength, compassion, and above all, confidence :) My favorite Alpha hero is Adam from Patricia Briggs' Mercedes Thompson series. Thanks for being in the hop!

  111. In my romances, I like alpha males best because they're smart, sexy, brave, protective, strong, tough and, yet, are gentle and loving with the heroine, even when she has a strong personality, too.
