1. Superman. I mean, who else could be #1? Truth, justice, and the American way. Plus, he’s all types of sexy. He is responsible for the success of comic books. I’m not sure they would’ve been around today without him.
2. Alien Huntress series by Gena Showalter. There are too many yummy characters in this series to name just one. That’s why I’m putting them all in my #2 slot. If you haven’t read the series, I highly recommend that you do.
3. Movie: E. T. – the Extra-Terrestrial. Oh, come on, he’s totally adorable. Who wouldn’t love him? Remember the glowing finger? Ugh…I could go on forever.
4. Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. My daughter loves this movie. She insisted he make the list, so here he is. Besides being adorable, he tries his best to be a good guy. And I love him with Lilo.
5. Marvin the Martian. He was my favorite cartoon character when I was a child. Besides the crazy voice, he was just too cute. He did want to take over our planet, but whatever, we forgive him.
6. Daemon Black from the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. He’s not the friendliest guy when we first meet him, but he’s certainly hot. And as the story progresses, he also warmed my heart.
7. Mork from Mork & Mindy. For many, that’s when the world discovered Robin Williams. My heart still hurts over his passing. I couldn’t possibly complete this list without including him.
8. Mr. Spock from Star Trek. TV Science fiction wouldn’t be the same without him. He was what put Star Trek on the map. It’s amazing to see the following the show/movies have, even after all these years.
9. Alf – Okay, I know I’ve just aged myself here. Yup, I was a kid in the 80’s. I had my own Alf doll, and I loved the show.
10. Gonzo from The Muppets – Again, another 80’s show. But this one has stood the test of time. The Muppets are still fun for children. I enjoyed their silly humor. Gonzo, of course, was the best.

Excerpt
2
Mate.
He’d told Hayden he would stick to his routine. That meant watching the game at
her apartment on Sunday and maintaining their friendship. His logical mind
fought against his growing urges. Last night, he couldn’t have a simple
conversation without touching her. And she didn’t make things any easier. He
could smell the desire pouring out of her. It took every ounce of his
self-control to hold himself back. At times, it was painful. “I know what I’m
doing. I’ve got the situation under control.”
Cam
laughed. “Like you did yesterday? Dude, we both know it’s only going to get
worse. You’re like a ticking sex bomb.”
Deep
down, Kaden knew he was right. Annabelle would become an irresistible,
unquenchable thirst. Ordinarily, she would feel the same pull, but there was no
way to know how a human would react. “There’s no such thing as a sex bomb.”
Cam
spread himself flat across the sofa with his arms crossed behind his head.
“Yeah, well, there definitely should be.”
“Be
serious.”
He
sat up. “I’m trying to tell you, it’s foolish to fight the bond between you.
You’d be better off going with it and letting the panties drop where they may.”
And
what would happen if he did bond with her? There was no chance it would ever
work out between them. He had to hide who he was from the world. A life with
him meant Annabelle would have to lie to her friends and family about their
relationship. He would never be able to marry her or give her the children she
wanted. They’d talked about her dreams for a white picket fence and a family.
Even if she were willing to give up those things, wouldn’t he be putting her
life in danger? A dull ache formed in the pit of his chest. “You know that’s
not possible.”
If
he could somehow push away these human emotions of his, maybe he stood a chance
of keeping her in his life. Maybe someday he could actually be happy for her if
she found a suitable mate. He dug his fingernails into the palms of his hands
at the thought of her with a human. “I have to go. She’s waiting for me.”
“Don’t
forget the condoms,” Cam shouted out. “Matter of fact, you might want to double
up. With all your pent-up frustration, there’s bound to be an explosion.”
“Hilarious,”
he replied, shutting the door behind him as he made his way toward his truck.
Once inside, he slid his seat belt on and leaned back against the head cushion
with his eyes closed. Filled with self-doubt, he worried that he wouldn’t be
able to handle it. But he had to.
For
the sake of everyone he loved, he had to find a way.
