Who is the Sexiest Romance Novel Hero?

Diana had the pleasure of blogging last week on Nalini Singh's excellent blog. While there, the idea of having a poll on the Sexiest Man NEVER Alive came up. That is, the sexiest romance novel hero. Sounds like a proper way to end this November's Sexiest Man Alive month.

After carefully considering the candidates that Nalini's readers came up with, it seemed best to group the men by author. Why? There were SO many nominees...

A question came up that is quite interesting: how many of these men are actual men? That is, not shape-shifters or vamps or whatnot? Are any of these men, besides Mr. Darcy, men? I don't know all the books well enough to know. And what does it mean if few (or none) of them are? What does that say about contemporary romance today?

Nalini's readers suggested these men as poll-worthy for the honor of Sexiest Man NEVER Alive:



Who else should we add? You can add names to the "other" category and if he gets more than a few votes, Diana will give him his own line in the poll.

Let the voting begin....

Love and magic kisses, Gypsy Psychic

Uh, Ian Maitland and Ramsey are Julie Garwood's, not Nora Roberts.
I go for other: Suzanne Brockmann's heros, specially her SEALs, both from her TDD and Troubleshooter series. And Jules Cassidy although he is gay.

Hi Isabel.

Thanks for the heads up on the mis-attributed heroes. I was going to take them off soon, anyway, as they're not getting many votes. (Maybe because I confused everyone...)

I love that you like the navy SEALs and a gay hero. Eclectic taste, that.

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a while, everyone. I'm in revisions hell, but I hope it'll be worth it!

Hey Diana,
How are the revisions going? I hope all is ok.
Don't worry about the heroes, there're some many of them that it's impossible to remember all correctly.
About the gay hero, he has been part of Suz's SEALs series for years and it was time he has his own story (years ago, I'd have say I'd never read a book about gay lovers but Jules won my heart since his first appearance in a book)
More than eclectic taste, I think I have a problem: I love highlanders and SEALs, I like vampires, undercover operatives, lords, pirates, actors, firefighters... so every month there is always several new books I "need".
Hugs,
Isabel

Yeah, I know what you mean. The bookstore is a problem.

I got a sweatshirt as a gift this year that said, "lead me not into temptation. Especially book stores."

Book's almost done. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Good choice, I like James too.

Diana, what a funny and great sweatshirt!
I've seen you have done some website changes, those that mean the book is done? I cant' wait to see the cover.
Hugs,
Isabel
