Favorite Characteristics in a Man

Does tall, dark, and handsome get your attention? How about the way a man dresses? Can just his cologne lure you in? Is he the bad boy or the hometown hero? What is it in a man, that with just one look from him, has you wishing he would act out your naughtiest dreams? Well, here’s a list of some of the aspects of the kind of man we drool over. Don’t be surprised if after you read our new book, Big Bad Bite, you’re able to draw a few parallels between this list and the men we write about.

The Alpha Attitude - What girl doesn’t crave a man that just exudes strength and dominance? We certainly do! The man doesn’t have to be alpha of the pack to be alpha in the relationship (or the bedroom). Like Lucas Stark from the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley or Nathan Malone from Lora Leigh’s Elite Ops Series. Both men will stop at nothing to get what it is they want. Warning! You may melt into a puddle of goo at their feet in the process!

That Bad Boy Gene - Don’t you know that bad boys need love too? Have you read Knight or Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley? No? Well you should. Knight and Tack may be two men from the wrong side of the tracks, but hot damn, they are worthy of some attention. Your mind screams at you to run away in the opposite direction. You know for damn sure that he doesn’t have good intentions. Still, you bite your tongue as he prowls up to you and proceeds to take your breath away. *swoon away ladies, swoon away*

Tattooed - Thank you sweet baby Jesus for inventing the art of tattooing! Whether it’s the tribal band around those sculpted biceps, or that blazing phoenix covering his back that bares your recent scratch marks. Needless to say, tattoos get us going. No matter the location, they’re sexy as hell on just about any man, especially if your name is involved in the ink. Brian Ross from Cherrie Lynn’s Ross Siblings Series with his sexy tattoos and it’s-all-for-the-ladies piercing, comes to mind.
 
Loyal, Honorable and Protective – Whether it’s the kick ass guy devoted to his motorcycle club, or the soldier committed to his unit, men that have a strong sense of loyalty and honor to those they care about around them are beyond attractive. They’re addictive. It’s also a good indication that they will be loyal to you, as well. Well, that is unless you go and mess with their friends or family members in a truly foul way. Then watch out! Things could get ugly quick. Maya Banks guys in the KGI Series are excellent examples for these characteristics.

Kinky In The Sack – That’s right. We said it. They not only know how to work what their Mama gave them, but they’ve got a wicked imagination in the bedroom. We won’t go into any naughty details that would make you blush like a neon red XXX sign, but you’ve got to know that there is more to life than the missionary position. Whether, it’s whipped cream, handcuffs, or a good slap on the bottom, we love a man who knows how to keep a love life alive. Want a good series to read based on this? Shayla Black’s Wicked Lovers Series will steam up your bedroom windows. 


We hope you enjoyed our list of what we look for in a man, but in real life and in our books! Now tell us what some of your favorite qualities are in the comments section below. Or give us a fictional character that you feel embodies one of these qualities! We need new book boyfriends to drool over.

Releases 1/28/13 Weaving through the crowds, Jenna saw Amy tucked in between two different men, dancing with her hands stroking the pecs of one wolf’s chest as she kissed him, their teeth clashing, and tongues sliding together seductively. The second wolf tightened his grip on her hips to grind his groin into her ass. Jenna may be a virgin, but she wasn’t shy about the prospect of sex. The three bodies entwining in their passionate dance was enough to amp up her already throbbing core. Pushing through the edges of the crowd, her eyes found Clay at their table whispering into the ear of an exceptionally attractive blond. It looked like the entire club was here to hook up tonight. Keeping her original destination of the bar in sight, Jenna’s feet carried her ever closer to her goal when a large hand grabbed her arm, swiftly moving her into a small, dark alcove halfway to her destination. Hands crushed her to a masculine chest, and Adam’s aroused scent overwhelmed the area. His left hand wrapped around her waist, landing low on the small of her back, while his right hand grabbed the back of her neck, angling their faces closer together. His lips were hovering hesitantly over her own, as if he was giving Jenna that scant moment to make the decision to push him away. As much as her brain told her that pushing him away was exactly what she should do, the rest of her body wasn’t getting that message. No, her traitorous body was craving the same kind of explosive sex that the song was still droning on about in the background. Adam’s warm breath fanned her face as he leaned over until their lips were just skimming the others. He growled, “I’ve wanted to do this since the moment I saw you pointing that gun at me.” In a flash, his lips were crushing hers in a bruising kiss. Then running the tip of his tongue along the seam of her lips until she gasped at the tingling sensation He didn’t waste the opportunity to thrust his tongue inside her mouth. The wet, silky length slid against her own in a way that felt so carnal, it made her body heat instantly for him. As he kissed her thoroughly and sensually, unlike anything she could have ever dreamed of before, he let go of her neck to slide his hand down the sensitive length of her body. Rubbing the side of her breast on his path down to grasp both cheeks of her ass fiercely, he turned them around so that her back hit the wall behind them. He lifted her until the vee of her thighs cradled the hard length of him, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him tighter against her now rolling hips. Their bodies were pressed so intimately together, not even air separated them. Her nipples hardened against the feel of his chest subtly rubbing them, causing him to groan into her mouth. Jenna felt her body hum with excitement, begging for more. With one hand clenched in his gorgeous auburn hair, and the other fisting his shirt, she rocked her core against him. Suddenly wishing that they were somewhere much more private, and with a lot less clothes on. Every nerve ending in her body that lay dormant through the years of self-denial flared with sensation. Urging her to finally give in and indulge in the ultimate forbidden act. Her wolf was practically rabid with the possibility of how it could be between her and the Alpha erotically pressed to the front of her. Demanding her physical attention. Her submission. What would sex be like between them?
