Top 10 Tuesday — Hunky Heroes

31 Aug

Happy Tuesday! Today’s Top 10 topic is fictional crushes. I rarely have a crush on a character, but I can recognize a hunky hero a mile away. 😉 My definition of a hunkster may differ from yours, but generally they are brave, all in, easy on the eyes kinds of guys. They usually have a sensitive side too. As in real life, it is the heart that matters. To come up with my list I put hunky in the search bar of the blog and chose the first 10 books in which I used hunky in the review — it’s all very scientific over here! Hunky is definitely in the eye of the beholder, but you will find them in a variety of genres — romance, suspense, historical, cozy mystery — and with a variety of occupations — farmer, 19th century naval officer, author, and tech geek, to name a few. I hope you find a hunk and a book to love!

    I am with you, I don’t really do fictional crushes. If I was really pressed I would name J.T. Tucker from Karen Witemeyer’s A Tailor-Made Bride, but in all the books I have read this summer, he is the only one who truly shines! I have not read several on your list, thanks for sharing!

    I don’t think I have met any of your hunky heroes.

    I like your definition of “hunky” – for me, it’s far more about the heart than the face 🙂

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
