February is the month of love and what do we love more than hot, sexy, dangerous and seductive vampires? Vampires For Valentines Giveaway Hop is all about spreading our love for these supernatural creatures.
Vampires For Valentines Giveaway Hop runs from 12:01am February 10th through to 11:59pm February 16th 2012, and is hosted by Felicity Heaton (Paranormal Romance Author) and Bitten by Paranormal Romance.
Hi and welcome to the Vampires for Valentines Blog Hop! Let me introduce myself if you haven't heard of me. My name is Karyn Gerrard and I write in a lot of different genres, including paranormal.
Don't you just love paranormal heroes? Let's face it, vampires, werewolves and shape-shifters do not make for tender, cuddly hero-types. But they do, it seems. And therein I believe, lies the appeal. Dark and tortured goes without saying. They are usually all 6'5 or taller, their bodies and faces would make Greek Gods weep or romance cover models slink off in shame, not worthy being in these guys presence. They are all hugely endowed and in a perpetual state of arousal. Okay, so he has this...thing. No one is perfect. So he changes into a werewolf once a month or can shape shift into a Jaguar or has this bug-a-boo with blood. We can work around that, right?
Leave a comment and tell me what you love about a paranormal hero or which type you prefer (Vampire, demon, etc) and you could win an e-copy of the first book in my Blackthorne Clan paranormal series with Evernight Publishing BLACK LUST and when available, the sequel BLACK DESIRE~
The sequel BLACK DESIRE is tentatively scheduled for release In April.

VAMPIRES!!!! All the way. LOVE them. Any kind too. The dark sexy kind or the rip your throat out and eat your heart kind.
ReplyDeleteAwesome book and I see you'll be part of my hop next month! Baaa Sheep rule and vampires are the leaders!
No need to enter me in the giveaway just stopping by to show some love. :)
thanks for stopping by Katie, look forward to your hop~
DeleteVamps. I've been obsessed with them since I was little. I recently found the wonderful world of paranormal romance and I must say I am SO glad I did!! Thank you for the chance!!
ReplyDeletethanks for entering Leasha, and I also have loved vamps for years! Extra entries for you for following and liking, cheers!
DeleteI think it would have to be demons as they can give the author free reign on their powers and skills.
ReplyDeleteclairelcutler@btinternet.com
Good point about the demons, thanks for entering!
DeleteEither one would be fine with me! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by Carolyn and I agree, both are fine!
DeleteGiven my books, I'd better say vamps are my favorite paranormal heroes or I can think of at least one sociopath who'll let me hear about it when I try to continue his story. ::mutters about bossy blonds::
ReplyDeleteThey're ageless. What's (generally) not to like, if you can get past the all-liquid diet thing? I wouldn't object to never getting older. I'd love to see what the world has in store in future centuries.
Tory, I so agree. The mortality thing opens a whole can of tortured heartbreak. The weariness of living so long. Love it. Cheers!
DeleteI really enjoy a great vampire book. Sexy, dark, tormented, horny and hunky. My fave vampire is Jacob from the Vampire Queen series by Joey W. Hill. The cover for Black Lust is awesome! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteluvfuzzzeeefaces at yahoo dot com
Julianne, Oooo. Everything you mentioned! I haven't read Joey W. Hill, thanks for mentioning it! Oh thanks about the cover! Cheers~
DeleteI'm not picky with my PNR heros. I like vamps, demons, shifters. As long as they're tall, dark and handsome. My favroite is lion shifter Curran from the kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews.

Hi Karyn,
ReplyDeleteI really haven't a preference.but if I had to chose, I'll go with a vampire. There romantic and sexy, but what really gets me going is that there always this little evilness going on underneath them and I find that a very hit turn-on. Call a girl crazy, but it does...lol

ReplyDeleteI like Shifters the best. It must be the animal in them...LOL

Thanks Wanda, my vamps are certainly sexy! I love them too~ Cheers and thanks for entering and following!
DeleteHere's the thing with paranormal heroes, they generally live a long time, so they have to be serious when picking a life mate, they are generally more alpha than your typical male (um, understatement), and they are supernaturally hot... what's not to love?? Thanks for the contest! Book Savvy Babe booksavvybabe at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the life mate! Oh yeah, the whole alpha "mine' thing appeals! I love all paranormal heroes too!
DeleteThanks for stopping by and entering!
My favorite type will always be the Vampire. I grew up with the B&W watching Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney along with the Abbott and Costello "Meet" comedies. Add in DARK SHADOWS and then discovering the written DRACULA. Yep, Vamps all the way. But the emergence of Fallen Angels is gaining some momentum.

Oh yes, Artemis! In fact, I thank Bela Lugosi in my dedication of Black Lust for getting me hooked on vamps!
DeleteFallen angels and even demons work well too.
thanks for stopping by and entering~
I have to admit, of late my favourite type of paranormal hero has been a were - i love the usual werewolves but have stumbled across a couple others (werebear, wererabbit, werepanther) & all of them are very cool! Not immortal like a vamp but still get a decent life span!
ReplyDeleteI do still love the vampires, demons, angels etc but my favourites change all the time. I even love a paranormal 'alien' character - from Eve Langlais' Alien mate series :)
Thanks for the giveaway & for opening it internationally ^_^

Vampires! I love, love, LOVE vampires! I love that they are usually all alpha predator :) They are just so darn sexy! My other faves are cat shifters, werewolves and demons :)

Ashley, I couldn't agree more, vamps are smoking hot! I also like shifters and weres and demons or a mixture therein~
DeleteThanks about the book and thanks for entering~
I absolutely love werewolves because they ARE the ultimate alpha males. They're protective, strong, and loyal. Can't get enough of them!
ReplyDeletevadeluna07@yahoo.com
Vadeluna, so true, Weres are the ultimate alpha! Love the ones in Kresley Cole's paranormal series~
DeleteThanks for entering!
My first love will always be the Vampire. They were my first love and will always be really special, but I do love all kinds of PNR (shifters, demons, angels, etc). I love the alpha men, they are dominate, confident, protective, faithful, strong. All this and dangerous too. So sexy!!!

June, I agree. I am rather fond of other paranormal heroes but the vamp is my fav. I also like a mixture, like a half-demon half vamp hero. I agree with everything you said. Dangerous but tender, what a combo!
Deletethanks very much for entering!
I love that paranormal heroes are strong, sexy, and can be compassionate.
ReplyDeletemythic021@gmail.com
Vanessa I agree, love the tenderness underneath all that Alpha.! Thanks for entering!
DeleteI'd choose vampires over demons, because I don't very much fancy the idea of having in-laws from hell:)

I pretty much like anything paranormal...but I think my fav is Shifter. I like their sexy bad boy alpha dominant nature. I like that they mate for life and that they live in a pack and are very protective and take care of each other. Thx for the giveaway op! Following via GFC and 'liked' both FB pgs.
ReplyDeletebarbbattaglia @ yahoo.com
Barbara, good reason to love a Shifter! The Alpha thing is VERY appealing, especially when they go into protective mode!
