My Favorite Book Boyfriend with Roni Loren and Giveaway

Roni wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven’t improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. She is the National Bestselling author of The Loving on the Edge series from Berkley Heat.

First, I want to thank Danielle for having me over at the blog today to chat about my favorite book boyfriend. What a fun topic! And a hard one. (Pun intended.) Great heroes are one of the main reasons I love reading and writing romance. But to pick one? Ack. I had a little trouble on that front. Do I pick my favorite bad boy? Or my favorite romantic one? The sexiest? A modern one or a historic one? It was impossible. So, I’m narrowing it down to five instead of one.

But my requirements were that I had to remember the hero off the top of my head. There are lots of terrific books I’ve read with great heroes. But if I have to go look up a hero’s name to remember him, then he couldn’t make the list. A favorite hero sticks with me long after I’ve read a book--his name, what he did in the book, who his heroine was, etc. My memory is bad, so if I can remember those things without looking, that’s when I know he’s a keeper.

Here’s my list of fictional boyfriends I’d ask the hubs to grant a hall pass for… ;)

Jamie from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Oh, Jamie, *sigh*. A Scottish warrior who can be fierce and badass, but who is also sweet and caring (and a virgin). It’s a time travel romance and seeing Jamie fall for the modern Claire is an epic journey. If you haven’t read this one, you’re missing a classic and one of the best heroes ever.


Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series by Charlaine Harris

Eric is one of my most favorite bad boys. Self-serving with a huge ego and often little conscience, you want to hate him. But then when you see his vulnerable side and how he is with Sookie--guh, irresistable. Plus, that shower scene in Dead to the World...omg. *swoons*


Dimitri from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead

The Russian hero with the unflappable moral code. He’s the teacher, she’s the student. He is determined to not step over any lines, but oh, when he does… One of my favorite couples.


Damon from Sweet Persuasion by Maya Banks

I write BDSM, so it’s hard for me to pick a favorite Dom. But I have to say that Damon from Maya Banks’ Sweet series has always stuck with me. He wasn’t particularly tortured, he didn’t have a tragic backstory, and he’s not really a bad boy per se. But he’s so single-minded in his attention to the heroine and so damn dominant that it’s a hard to resist. He can be very firm with her but also is deeply romantic and sweet. He’s was the perfect combo of dominance and gentleness without having any of that a-hole vibe that dom characters can slip into.


Nicholas from A Knight In Shining Armor by Jude Devereaux

Though this is an older book, it’s a new read for me. I read it recently and instantly new Nicholas was going to stay with me. Another time travel romance, but this time, a medieval knight shows up in modern day England. He’s such a fun hero to watch try to navigate the modern world--a great combo of wide-eyed curiosity, bravery, and protectiveness over the heroine. Loved.

And if you’d like to check out one of the favorite heroes I’ve ever written, then check out Grant--my hard-headed, tortured, cowboy/dom hero in FALL INTO YOU. : )

CONTEST: I’m giving away one print or ebook copy of any of the books on my top five list (winner’s choice) and a signed copy of my book FALL INTO YOU. (U.S. and Canada only.)

He'll do anything for you. But you'd better say please.

When tomboy sports reporter Charli Beaumonde loses a dream TV job because she’s not girly enough for primetime, she’s determined to land a big scoop and prove her boss made a mistake. But when she gets too close to a football scandal and finds her life threatened, Charli accepts an offer from family friend Grant Waters to hide out at his place—even if Grant predicts nothing but trouble from his buddy’s hard-headed, uncompromising, irrepressible, younger sister. There’s one more problem…

Grant’s “place” is The Ranch, a BDSM resort in Texas, and he’s used to being in charge —even if that means trying to keep Charli in line. But much to Grant’s surprise, she’s intrigued—even envious—of his trainees. They’re the epitome of what she’s never been: sexy, beguiling, and totally irresistible to a man. Still, Grant doesn’t believe for a minute that the sharp-tongued Charli has it in her to be anyone’s submissive. But Charli’s already on her knees vying for the chance to prove that even the Master can be wrong sometimes.
