The Alpha-Hole Hero. Hot or Not?
A few weeks ago I reviewed Sweetened with a Kiss by Lexxie Callahan and in the review I referred to the hero as an ‘alpha-hole.’ To me, an alpha-hole hero is one that is very alpha and also an asshole. It’s his way or no way (of course the heroine always gets her way at the end) This hero goes above and beyond being arrogant and possessive. I feel an alpha-hole hero can be a believable romantic hero as long as there is proper redemption on his part. To me, an alpha-hole is not necessary a Continue Reading

Review: Masked Cowboy by Sarah M. Anderson
Masked Cowboy by Sarah M. Anderson (Men of the White Sandy #2) August 6, 2013 Contemporary Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I recently read my first Sarah Anderson book (from a different series) and really liked her voice. When I found out this hero was scarred and a bit tortured, I had to try it. I’m happy to say, I enjoyed this one. Mary Beth has a new job as a large animal vet out west near Lakota Indian territory in South Dakota. She will be seeing cattle and horses mostly on the Continue Reading
