So what make the perfect man? Let’s examine gorgeous, restaurateur,
Beck Hartnett, the hero in my latest novella, STEAL ME, COWBOY. And don’t
worry, Beck, we’ll be gentle.
I don’t know about you, but I like my hero’s tall, and to be
honest, I’ve yet to read a romance that began, “He was incredibly short…” Of
course there are scads of lovely short men in real life, but we are talking
fiction here.
I don’t have a preference for body type, but I like ‘em as “lean
and muscled” as the next girl. As both a reader and a writer, I like to know
how my hero’s jeans fit, where they hang on his hips, and again, we’re going
for the lean hips. I have to believe if men read more romance novels, relaxed
fit jeans would be a thing of the past. And would that really be such a bad
thing?
Hair’s important in romance and says a lot about our hero. I’m
a sucker for long hair and Beck pulls it off with hot cowboy look when he wears
his down. And, Lord, have mercy, when it’s pulled back, you know he’s getting
ready to woo his woman, Rainey Brown, with otherworldly food and wine.
I like my heroes to have a healthy attitude about their
heroine’s eating habits. I haven’t read a romance yet that said, “He looked at
her plate and said, “You’re not really going to eat all of that, are you?” No,
our perfect man wants to meet all of our heroine’s needs, and always seems to
understand the true meaning of comfort food.
Last but not least, one of the things I love most about Beck
Hartnett is his sense of humor. Funny is sexy. Smart. And Beck has that in
spades. So, what’s your idea of the perfect man? Do you like ‘em dark and
brooding? Is a rich hero in a story more
interesting to you than a guy with a good job and a 401K? Do you like ‘em
outdoorsy? Tough? Suave and refined?

Thank u so much !!♥♥♥
I enjoy a tortured hero. I also like 'em alpha all the way. Their career isn't all that important to me, or income.
I loved Beck as well. So real. I like a guy who knows how to work with his hands. Doesn't matter if he is rich or not - but down to earth and real is important.
STEAL ME, COWBOY by Kim Boykin sounds wonderful. Please enter me in contest. Thank you for the opportunity to win.Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for the opportunity! Have a great weekend!
Thank you for the opportunity- happy Friday!! :)
I like my hero in a story to be outdoorsy, have a sense of humor, and to have a soft spot when it comes to animals. Congrats on Steal Me, Cowboy, and what a cute cover!
would love to win.
cowboy stories are always great reads
I'm crossing my fingers. :-)
I love them dark and brooding. :)
I love men who are funny and hardworking!! Thanks for the chance ;)
The perfect man is one with a great sense of humor including being able to laugh at himself; compassion for all including children and animals; happy inside or outside; and a true gentleman.
Like, love, want
I apologize in writing I forgot to post my answer. I love cowboys, but I like then to be the old fashion type of gentleman, with just a touch of wildness in him, he wants to make his girl happy, [not put her on a pedistall /or spoil her] but genuinely make her happy, he wears blue jeans that fit, in all the right places, and western shirts with snaps not buttons. He can have long hair, as long as he takes care of it, and he's the type of man that when you are on his arm, he shows how proud he is to be with you. He is funny, but can have a serious side, and his idea of romance can be from a picnic, to a fine dining room, to dancing in the rain. Now that's my idea of the man I hope I could find someday. Sorry for the double post.
Sounds like a really good book . Can't wait to read it !
I like a happy and good natured fellow:)
gl all!
I like my heroes to be animal lovers with a sense of humor.

Love to read the book thanks for the chance
I'd like to steal a cowboy...especially if he cooks and does yard work.
I love Alphas with respect. Cowboy, biker, fighter. Doesn't matter what he does as long as there is ink on his skin, tall & built.
Sounds great, thanks for the opportunity.
Who doesn't love a hard working cowboy! Yeehaw! Thanks for spotlighting this book. :)
A cowboy who has principles and strength, physical and mental. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
Snork! Any hero who would ask such a silly question is no hero in my book! ;) A considerate, funny hero is ALWAYS a winner! Thanks for sharing, Kim!
Smart, funny, hard working but able to relax are paramount. Looking great in a Stetson doesn't hurt.
Looks like a great read! Thanks for the chance.

would love to read!
I think a troubled heroine and a hero trying to make it right, keep her safe, or be protective appeals to me. There are so many stories about men needing to be "fixed" by a woman, why not flip the paradigm? Btw, I want the Southern Tiramisu Banana Pudding recipe, please!
Cowboys and lumberjacks are the ones I like best.

I love alpha heroes... Strong men that are cocky, sexy, protective, yet need a heroine who won't give into them easily and will keep them on their toes... the relationship between the too is important... I don't really care for the fragile heroine who always needs reassurance.

Such a great series! I can't wait to read Steal Me, Cowboy!
Love an alpha hero who is willing to risk it all for the love of his life, When they try to resist their attraction to the heroine but the chemistry is just too hot to ignore.

Love the Montana series and I am looking forward to reading your next release!
I prefer a man who can cook, is passionate, driven, not needy, funny, hardworking at what he likes to do, sexy to look at and has a big heart.
I just finished reading Steal Me, Cowboy and I really enjoyed it.
I love dark and brooding heros and they don't need to be rich.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was just so good. I'm hoping Kim has more books coming out very soon.
I like a man who is funny, courteous, hard working, has empathy for others, helpful & strong. I love it when he has nice eyes and a great mouth!
would love to have this book
Awesome giveaway! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks
I like a genuine honest man; one who loves you unconditionally and is 'into' the relationship. Sense of humor helps in many situations
Tall, dark & handsome, good sense of humor, alpha, good heart. I am more likely to go for a small town boy than a millionaire, but have liked both, depending on the story.
I love these books. I think a good cowboy that works hard and takes care of his women is what makes a man.

In fiction I like an outdoorsy man that is an all around good guy, sensitive and honest.
I love men with awesome mustaches and beards! Quiet, strong, long and lean! <3 (lifeonprint AT AOL dot Com)
I like people who are honest, sincere, goofy and fun loving.
I sure do love my cowboys!
Perfect men are compassionate, intelligent,athletic, honorable, a good listener, they have a good sense of humor and they love the outdoors. They can also sing and play guitar.
Honest, forthright, funny. Broad shoulders are a bonus! omahablack at yahoo dot com
I love all of the Montana Born books...this would be fantastic to get!!!!!
This was such a cute story. I loved it!

Love the cover pic!
In real life, I married a laid-back, outdoorsy kind of guy with a great sense of humor. It's my favorite in romance novels, but I love any hero that's good to his woman! Banker, doctor, soldier, whatever. He can be alpha, but he can't be a jerk!
I love a kind, funny, smart guy that makes me feel special. And lucky for me I've got one! :-D <3
Love love love cowboys. This sounds like a fantastic read and can't wait to read it.
An alpha hero all the way. It doesn't matter what type of career that her has.
I foster homeless books :)
Smart and funny. And blond. ;)
Smart....Passionate......Gentlemanlike.
Dark, willing to learn a lesson from a woman, a deeply hidden but real sense of humor, natural hair, no waxing, shaving, etc.

Your list works perfect for me
I would love to read this!

I can't wait to read this - what a fabulous cover. So fun!
alpha man cowboy that knows how to treat a woman like a lady
I love this cover... and love snark.
Thank You for the chance and have a wonderful weekend!

A sense of humor is the best. :)
pmettert@yahoo.com
I like them funny, loving, and alpha :)
I like my book heros to be realistic - but just a touch 'more' tender, loving, funny, good-looking, etc. than maybe a real guy is. I don't particular care if they're rich or just modestly get by, if they've got dark hair and eyes or if they're fair, if hair is long or short -- just so they treat their friends kindly, justly, and 'right.
All of the Montana Born books have been so good to read. Enjoyed every one.
