Welcome to the Alpha Male blog hop! As should be apparent, we’re talking about Alpha Males, and why we love them (or perhaps why we don’t). So strap yourself in, it’s gonna be a wild ride!
We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!
Now what are those prizes?
1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet

3rd Grand Prize: The following Swag Pack!
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make an Alpha Male? Is it the way he looks? His dark and stormy eyes, the way his body moves, the way he…well, I’ll leave that last part up to you. What about the way he acts? Or treats his heroine? What makes an Alpha male? What do we love about Alpha Males? Why do we prefer them over Betas? Or do we?
All these questions are posed on the main page for the Alpha Male blog hop (the hot pic above is a link to it). I won’t offer a long, rambling post answering all of these questions in detail, but I will say this: an Alpha Male is more about the attitude than anything else, in my opinion. The guy can be an astrophysicist and still be an Alpha Male.
As far as why we love Alpha Males? I think they make us feel safe. We believe they’ll protect us. They put forth that aura of “mess with me and mine at your own risk”. And I don’t know about you, but I find that incredibly sexy.
What do you think makes a man an Alpha Male? A $5 GC to the ebook retailer of your choice is up for grabs. Be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you’re my winner!
Good luck, and be sure to visit the other lovely participants in the Alpha Male Blog Hop!
It’s the aura of absolute confidence, without drifting into a-hole or idiot cocky, at least for me. It inspires trust.
I so agree with you, it’s attitude. They have to have the attitude to be a true Alpha! Thank you so much for participating in the hop.

I think they must have some quality which define their Alphaness, such as leadership, steadfastness, bravery, ingenuity and many more.
It’s all about attitude!

It is the air of confidence, swagger, charisma, loyalty, & protectiveness that makes a man alpha to me.

They have such confidence and they are so protective of those they love.

I think it’s their confidence, strength, possessiveness, and dominance.

I think it’s all about the attitude. Look at Jeremy from Kelley Armstrong’s Tale of the Otherworld. He wasn’t the biggest or the strongest but he was the ALPHA until Elena took over.
vsloboda(at)gmail(dot)com
I admire their loyalty, nurturing quality, competence, and wit.
vitajex(at)aol(dot)com
Strong and loving.
I think an Alpha male has to be strong and sexy. He has to be confident in his masculinity, know what he wants and not be afraid to go after it. He is a take charge type of man and is not afraid to show the woman he loves that he loves her.
Great blog hop

I think Alpha males need to be confident, self-assured, respectful and capable. I love Alpha men, because I need someone as confident and dominant as me to have an equal relationship – I hate the feeling that my partner is less powerful than me and cannot make it without me.
And: my favourite Alpha male is Gabriel from Annette Curtis Klause’s Blood and Chocolate.
Rachel oceanrebel333@gmail.com
I Believe what makes an alpha male is someone who knows when to take charge yet at the same time able to admit they are wrong and listen to the opinions if those around him. Not just take charge and be all “what I say is always right.” I believe it’s someone who is confident and nurturing and charismatic.

Their self confidence and protectiveness.
KaseyDean@live.com
Two musts for any alpha male:
1) He must know what he wants and will do anything come hell or high water to get it.
2) Once he gets that, he must NEVER forget why he got there…the woman whom he wanted is his world and she must be treated with the proper respect she deserves.
Almost forgot….

It’s knowing that no matter how strong they are, that when they love they become softies…

Confidence is what seems to be the deviding line to me…please count me in. Thank you, chellebee66(at)gmail(dot)com
I think his confidence in what he is and isn’t capable of is what makes him in alpha. He is brave and capable where it counts most.
Hello Cassandra
Doing the Alpha Male blog hop….oh yeah! I‘m excited to be a part of this hop! Wow, 200+ authors—a perfect opportunity to meet new authors! It’s always fun trying to visit as many sites as possible.
I love alpha heroes who are take charge men! They are loyal, loving and caring men. They usually have sexy looks, brains, money and a commanding presence that draws people. When they find their mates and fall in love they will move heaven and earth to stake their claim. This is exciting to watch even when they are not sure why they have to have or be with this particular person. An awesome love dance! It’s definitely addicting to read.
Thanks for the opportunity to win some great prizes.

Confidence defines an alpha male.
bituin76 AT hotmail DOT com
I completely agree with you on the astrophysicist comment – I think it has more to do with a “take charge” attitude and a willingness to go after and fight for what they want (literally or figuratively).
Thanks for participating in the hop!

Why I love Alpha Males is no real surprise! The perfect Alpha Male for me could be a Vampire, a Scottish Laird, an English Rogue/Gentleman, a Werewolf or Shape-shifter, or a Knight. He’s the rogue who thinks he can’t be reformed into a gentleman. He’s the rough and scarred Scottish laird that has a heart of gold. He’s the werewolf or shape-shifter that needs to heal an aching heart because it took him years to find his true mate. He’s the vampire who has waited decades for that special someone’s blood to sing to him and wake him up. And he’s the knight who can defeat the enemy with a quick swing of his sword, but can’t see the love in front of his face. My Alpha Male has eyes that can see into your soul and are as blue as the sea, or as black as a storm. He’s tall and brooding. His heart can enfold you into its grasp and make you fall in love when he gives it to you freely and completely. He is protective and passionate. In the end he is the one that makes your heart jump and butterflies fly in your stomach, and still kiss you until your legs melt!

I love alpha males and how strong, loyal and protective they are.
What makes a man an alpha male would be their confidence, someone that knows when to take charge, loyalty to his family and those he loves/cares for. Willing to work as hard as or harder than others to get the job done. doesn’t give up when the going gets tough, and not afraid to love
cms72023 at gmail dot com
What makes an Alpha to me is that they are strong, protective, take charge and dominate! yummy!!

I agree, it’s not the job or the looks but the attitude
sugerlady@aol.com
I love alpha males because they take charge, kick ass and look great while doing it! Just their commanding presence in a scene gives me the chills! I can’t just pick one so my favorite alpha males are Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series and Barrons from Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. Both are similar and different in so many ways but have the same stubbornness and raw animal magnetism that defines them as alphas.
Thanks for the awesome hop and for the chance to win!

It’s mostly the attitude, although height and muscles adds alpha-maleness too.

Alpha males, to me, are compassionate, loyal, honest, determined, strong, and have something in their past that made them into the men they are today. phaedracamille@gmail.com
Jack Gordon from Liz Crowe’s REALTOR series rocks!
Alpha males are the best….strong, independent, fiercely protective, but on the inside they are nothing but a big ol’ teddy bear! I love the way their mouths talk filthy, but their eyes portray their sensitive sweet. They can be rough and tough in the bedroom, but still have the gentle caress of an attentive and protective lover. It’s all in the heart…..alpha males are the best!
Thanks for participating in the hop!

I love this blog hop. So much so, I’m participating.
I think an Alpha has to be take charge and in control, without being controlling. He also has to be a so much more. I’d have to write an entire blog post to give my full thoughts…lol. Oh wait, I did. (if curiosity is killing anyone…they can click on the link to read it I suppose.) Love your work Cassandra!

Love this, =) i think an Alpha male is a man not afraid to take charge, being responsible and also capable of taking care of those he wants.
best wishes, Linda
A man who is confident, intelligent and extremely protective of what they consider theirs. He’ll also be loyal and true for those he cares about~ while having the ability to be extremely dangerous toward everyone else.
