This month we're celebrating the men and women (and animals too!) that rock a uniform--whichever uniform that may be. Military, Police, Firefighter and all others who serve and protect. So...Who's Your Hero? Stop by each blog for a giveaway and to find out who OUR favorite fictional and real life heroes are...
For me, I love men in uniform. They are definitely my heroes. They are a combination of alpha strength, goodness, honor and underneath all the gruffness, a heart of gold and a vulnerability only the heroine can get through to. It makes my silly romantic heart go a little crazy. Of course, being a crazy avid romance reader, I have a ton of book boyfriends. I even did a blog post last year about the book boyfriends I was crushing on.
But before I go into super duper detail about my men in uniform heroes, I want to shout out to Michael Stokes and his Always Loyal book, which features veterans in their healthy, athletic glory. The images in the book are controversial, evocative and extremely well done. If you haven't experienced any of Michael's works yet, you need to check him out.
And here are some shots from within the book. (Source: Amazon)
And as for my men in uniform heroes from some of my favorite books here are some of my recent favortes:
And while not exactly men in uniform, honorable mentions also to go:
Brynn from
Icy Passage |
And finally, if you count superheroes in their superhero uniforms as men in uniform, Rebecca Royce has a very fun series of superheroes which I thoroughly enjoyed. Capes and spandex in a superhero uniform can still be considered men in uniform, right?
Draco from
Seductive Powers |
Ace from
Adrenaline Rush |
Lael from
Last Ascension |
So that's it. Those are some of my recent heroes. I hope you've enjoyed this post and don't forget to enter the giveaway below.
And now for the giveaway - there will be three winners picked randomly:
- Kindle version of The Edge of Courage by Elaine Levine gifted to you
- Kindle version of Deadly Strain by Julie Rowe gifted to you
- $10 Amazon gift card

Happy Mother's Day to you too Helen. And Grandmother's day for your lovely grandkids. I need to read Tawny Weber's SEALs. I've heard good things about them.
DeleteMy favorite heroes are people in the service -- putting their lives on the line and helping others. jody.714@hotmail.com
DeleteJoanne, for sure. I love the people in the service. I am very grateful for what they do.
DeleteHelen. Of course we cannot forget our hubbies who are our everyday heroes.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to see that Stokes book! Anyway, I love Griff Muir from Damon Suede's HOT HEAD.

The Stokes books is amazing. I love it.
DeleteMy favorite heroes are firefighters.
ReplyDeleteI love the calendars firefighters put out each year for a good cause. I haven't read any firefighters yet though.
DeleteI love paranormal heroes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance
puffangel87@yahoo.com
I adore paranormal heroes too.
DeleteMy husband is my hero. He is a wonderful husband and father to our four children and served our country for 12 years in the RAAF. Thanks very much for the chance :D theb1tch69@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy husband is my hero too. I think that's the case for many women. :-)
DeleteHermione Granger is my favorite. She's smart, kind, and special.
ReplyDeleteHermione is an awesome character and Emma Watson who played her has turned into a wonderful young woman.
DeleteMy husband is my hero. He has been in the military for 18 years & is a fantastic father.
ReplyDeleteTell your husband thank you for his service from me. He is a real hero.
DeleteGod is my hero! He's my rock and fortress.
ReplyDeletemia2009@comcast.net
God is mighty indeed.
DeleteMy husband...he's in the Navy!
ReplyDeleteTell your husband, I say thank you for his service.
DeleteI love reading about heroes but I feel like heroes differ all the time. You have the men in suits and in official positions and the are also written so admirably. My favorite story about a retired Armed Forces officers is Dating a Cougar by Donna McDonald. Which is about a retired model who is in her forties or fifties and she falls in love with a retired veteran who is in his late twenties and is the cousin of her daughter's boyfriend. Amazing! You also get unofficial heroes like Christian Grey, Mr. Darcy, and Four who fall in love with women as they both become affected by the other and their lives change for the better together! It's Tai Tii Starr Blanca and my Amazon email is thaughton@mmm.edu
ReplyDeleteOh hey Tai, so glad you finally managed to comment. Yes, you are right. Heroes differ all the time and they come in all kinds of different men. Thanks for persevering.
DeleteKC Lynn has a series called Men of Honor and it features 3 amazing heros.
ReplyDeletejess62404@gmail.com
I'll need to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteMy favorite heroes are firefighters. They risk their lives everytime they answer a call.
ReplyDeleteThey do. It is a very dangerous job.
DeleteSorry forgot email

I'll go with my favorite superhero, who is Thor! jmcgaugh (at) semo (dot) edu
ReplyDeleteSo are you thinking Thor from the comic books or Thor with the sexy Chris Hemsworth? :-)
DeleteJake Dalton from Prisoner of Love, of course. Undercover never looked (or sounded) so good. But then, I may be biased :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you might be a little biased. :-) I have him in my TBR. I need to cuddle up with him soon.
DeleteOh, you'd better!
DeleteMy favorite heroes are the firefighters! I also love reading romance novels with a firefighter hero.
ReplyDeleteverusbognar (at) gmail (dot) com
I haven't read many firefighters. I should probably add a few to my TBR.

All the men and women who serve in the military are heroes. Thank you for your service.
Deletemy Heroes are all my cousin and family members who serve in all branches of the Military!!
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance.
Anyone who serves in the military is a hero.
DeleteMy heroes are my parents
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fictional hero in uniform is Denis Leary's Tommy Gavin from Rescue Me.
ReplyDelete"Yeah. That's the thing about the spotlight, you know. Walk out into it and at first everybody thinks they see a good-lookin' all-American hero. But then you stay out there long enough and you know, they start to notice certain things. Maybe your nose is a little crooked, you know, maybe your teeth are too crooked. Maybe you got a little scar on your upper lip. Your hair's not right. One eye's bigger than the other. Next thing 'ya know they think they're lookin' at some kinda of [] monster. Like they're lookin' at King Kong. Then they start throwin' [] at 'ya."
