Wicked After Dark

Something Wicked This Way…well, you get the idea.

It’s my first blog hop. I’ll admit, I’m a little nervous. My heart is pounding and my palms are sweaty. I shiver a little in anticipation. *takes deep breath* Here goes…

Halloween is approaching, bringing with it all those delightfully naughty costumes and wicked treats – those of the male variety, as well as the sugary kind. 

Me? I prefer the male variety. Which got me to thinking…

Who are my top five, deliciously wicked, sinfully naughty heroes from paranormal romance novels? There are so many men/vampires/shifters/demons to choose from! 

Are you ready to play?

5.  Strider, Keeper of Defeat, Lords of the Underworld series, Gena Showalter

I love all of these warriors, but when trying to decide which Lord of the Underworld would make my top five, there was no doubt who I would pick. Strider gets the official number five slot on my countdown. As the Keeper of Defeat, Strider can’t lose a challenge without suffering unimaginable pain. Hmm. I can think of a thousand ways I’d like to challenge him. (I’ll bet you can’t get me naked. I’ll bet you can’t make me…well, you get the idea).

           

4. Wraith, Demonica series, Larissa Ione

Smart-mouthed, self-indulged and a powerhouse in the sack, Wraith is the quintessential bad-boy. The fact that he’s a Seminus demon who needs sex to survive? Added bonus. (He’s also part vampire so there’s the neck-sucking thing too).

           

3. Vane Kattalakis, Dark-Hunter/Were-Hunter series, Sherrilyn Kenyon

There are so many things to love about Vane. Sex-on-a-stick? Check. Rides a motorcycle? Check. Badass werewolf? Check. Genetically incapable of ever having sex with anyone but his mate? Check. What more could a girl want?

2. Thanatos, Lords of Deliverance series, Larissa Ione

Larissa Ione gets a second nod on my top five with Thanatos – also known as “the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse.” I mean, come on, who wouldn’t love a fierce warrior who thought sex would turn him evil? Thousands of years of sexual frustration wrapped up in one, muscle-bound, badass immortal? Sign. Me. Up.  

1. Jonas Wyatt, Breed series, Lora Leigh

I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Lora Leigh for giving us this man. Or lion. Or man-lion. Or man that shares lion DNA. Whatever. He’s a badass (see a trend in my countdown) that you don’t know whether to love or to hate. He gets what he wants by any means necessary. He lies, manipulates and even kills. So why did I pick him as my number one? Because he’s the shit, that’s why. No really. He’s brutal and hard (heh), but his capacity for love will take your breath away.

So, congratulations Jonas, you win top spot on my sexy-as-fuck countdown! I’ll give you your prize later.
