Who's Your Favorite Vampire Bad Boy by K.A. Last

Hi Roxanne, and thanks for hosting my Fall For Me tour stop today. I’ve always been one to gravitate towards the bad-boy whether it’s in a book, on the big screen, or in my favourite TV show. There’s something about the fictional bad-boy that gets my heart racing. That’s probably due to a combination of excitement, the fact that they’re usually hot-damn sexy, and wanting something I can’t have. You can’t blame a girl for fantasising, right?

Today I’d like to share with everyone my top five vamp bad-boys that aren’t Edward Cullen. Now, I’m the first to admit that I love Twilight, but I’m also first to admit that I prefer my vamps mean and bad-ass over sparkly. Still, one sparkly vamp made my list, but he’s mean and eats people.

5. Eric Northman

True Blood – Played by Alexander Skarsgård

When I first started watching True Blood, I was all for Bill, but as the seasons went along, Eric came into his own for me. Hmmm … muscles and fangs make the perfect combination. Who wouldn’t want a vamp like this chewing on their neck?

4. Jerry

Fright Night – Played by Colin Farrell

Just look at him! Enough said.

3. Riley Biers

Twilight – Played by Xavier Samuel

Ok, so he sparkles, but look at that face.

2. Angel/Angelus

Buffy The Vampire Slayer – Played by David Boreanaz

Angel is a tortured soul, but when Angelus arrives on the scene—look out! He comes in at a very close second, but only because this tragic hero—when he has his soul—is a little on the soft side. Like I said, I like them mean. But … that hair! I just want to run my fingers through it.

1. Spike

Buffy The Vampire Slayer – Played by James Marsters

Spike is my number one bad boy. He is make-your-skin-go-all-goose-bumpy sexy. Then there’s the wit, the humour, and that look in his eyes. Plus, when he is mean, there’s no half-assed about it. Even when he gets his soul back, he’s still got the swag.

I’d love to know who your number one vamp bad-boy is, and why.

Book Blurb:

“Angels aren’t supposed to fall in love, especially with each other. But for the record, you were worth it.”

Grace Tate is a Protection Angel and Vampire Hunter, and she has always followed the rules. But some rules are made to be broken…

Until now the fight against evil has been simple, and falling in love was never part of the plan. So what happens when it’s beyond Grace’s control, and when she least expects it she falls for the wrong person?

All hell breaks loose, that’s what.

At Hopetown Valley High, not everything is as it seems, and the one person Grace thought was her enemy becomes her most important ally.

Blood will be shed, lives will be lost and friendships will be tested. It all comes down to one decision, and when Grace tries to save all those dear to her, she realises not everyone can be—or wants to be—saved.

(My fave vamp bad boy in this list is Spike- while the Angel/Buffy love was epic, Spike chose to be a good guy and do good things even without a soul, then he chose to get his soul back- now that's a bad boy with aheart of gold.  Plus thta accent and snarky sense of humor- love it. But my current fave vamp bad boy who didn't make the list- (OMG how could he not make this list) is Damon Salvatore played by Ian Somerhalder. Now that's one gorgeous vampire bad boy *drool*) ~Roxanne 

Monday Musings February 1, 2010

February already? Wow that went fast, seems like just yesterday it was the new year. Guess I've been so busy time just slipped by.

That and half the time I was stuck in a sick, stuffed up, flu like haze. I think everyone in my household has been sick, at least twice in the past couple months. I really want to have one day when sinus pressure doesn't make my head feel like it is going to explode.

I am at a point in one of my WIP (work in progress) novels where I am stuck. I am not sure where I want the scene to go and how I want it all to play out. Hubby helped me out a little last night as we threw ideas back and forth so we'll see how those ideas work out on paper.

The other novel I pick at when I am stuck or sick of the other one. I am still not sure if I am ever going to finish an entire novel. I keep getting sidetracked by my short stories and novellas and my freelance work which pays the bills (kinda, it helps when my publishers actually pay me, I am sitting here still waiting on payment from one publisher for December, January and now February's work- which really sucks).

It amazes me the authors that can churn out several novels a year. But I guess once you get used to it and you don't have to worry about trying to make money to feed your family from other sources you can sit down and focus on just the books and get them done. I hope that day comes soon for me, I realize it will not if I can't ever finish one entire novel but I can't afford to put all my eggs in one basket right now. So that's the state of my writing life.

I caught up on some shows saved to my DVR finally this weekend. Watched the last episodes of Angel from the final season, now starting back from the beginning. Watched last week's episode of BBC America's Demons, the one with the vampires. I found this episode to be better than the others, I figured Mina had something to do with vampires because of her name, hello a Mina Harker that has nothing to do with vampires but works in the world of the paranormal (or half lifes as they call them on the show which really doesn't make sense to me but whatever).

I still have to watch this week's episode of Demons. I have to admit it is not high on my priority list. They say critics are hailing it as a new Buffy. Not so much for me. It doesn't hold the humor, the appeal, or any of the sexy chemistry between characters... and the old dude, Galvin is it? Can't freaking stand him at all. Not one bit. Someone needs to smite him. Maybe I just don't get it because I am not British.

Demons may be one of those shows that is too British for an American audience where Being Human held such universal appeal and very lovable characters that you can empathize with them and their stories. I really want Being Human back, Demons isn't holding my attention, even though there is nothing else on Saturday nights to watch. Is next week the series finale? Did they only plan on having 6 episodes? I wonder if it was a let's see how this does and if there's a positive response we'll do more type of thing.

So what's going on at Fang-tastic Books this week you may be wondering. Well Kathy Kulig will be here tomorrow, Terry Spear will be here on Thursday and Susan Blexrud will be here Friday- all with books to give away.

Be sure to get your entries in for all the contests from last week, they are open until tomorrow night. The poster contest is open until next week so be sure to get your entry in for that as well.
