A Hero's Blog Hop

From the Heartbreakers to the Dreammakers...What makes some heroes so memorable? Looks aren't everything, not by a longshot. In fact, looks are almost negligible when faced against charisma. Don't get me wrong, I love eye candy ;) but the heroes that are most memorable for me are those whose strength of character speaks volumes. 

My favorite type of hero is the tortured warrior who has been scarred either emotionally or physically but is still capable of love and devotion that simply takes your breath away. Which is why I simply love Jackson in Water of Life. He's the type that puts duty before self and when faced with the impossible, such as the love of an opinionated doctor with a backbone of steel, he faces it head on and a whole new world opens up for him. Some of my favorite tortured heroes include: BDB's Z  and Loretta Chase's, Dain from Lord of Scoundrels. Which brings me to my giveaway question:

The Year of Wankmageddon Cont.

The kerfuffle exploded recently on two fronts: 'outing' reviewers that are considered bullies (and I don't mean just naming them but putting out personal information about them) and bloggers charging for reviews (then threatening lawsuits).

There are terrific posts in a variety of places but I found this The Daily Dot article to be a smorgasbord of great links.

Absolutely Awesome

Wowzy! (And Happy 4th of July!)

Because everyone loves (eye) candy on a holiday ;)
