Kelly Gendron | Bad Boys all grown up...

goodreadstwitterfacebookpinterest

Who doesn't want a bad boy? Hmm... I prefer to let them bake for a while. Those misbehaving boys will rise to be irresistible, dominant, and experienced men. When cooked at the right temperature they'll still taste disobedient, but with the right amount of heat they'll become succulent and tantalizing.

Bad boys may have once fulfilled our whimsical hearts, but as women it takes more than a sexy little smile to get our blood pumping. Sure, your Mama might have warned you about bad boys, but she certainly kept those all grown up, sexy, and naughty men to herself. Nevertheless, I did eventually find them nestled between the pages of my romance novels (thanks to all you wonderful authors!).

After years of reading about these magnificent men, I wanted a chance to introduce the world to my all grown up bad boys. But like their aging process, from boys to badly behaving men, my aging process has taken my men, who were once nestled between paper pages, to the 12 point font of the ever-rising eReader. Hey, at least now they're just one click away! No more need to purchase them at the store, wait for them in the mail, or leave them at home on the nightstand. My bold-font men are always right there with me.

At this time, I'd like to introduce to you (in bold 12 point font) Tantum Maddox. He's what all grown up bad boys are made of! He's enigmatic and dominant, but like every mysterious man, Tantum has a dark past and is wary of letting his heart come out from the shadows. Nala Dekker is witty, smart, and—like many modern woman—a control freak. Their characters emerge in THE RISQUÉ TARGET. Nala pulls Tantum from his darkness, while Tantum forces Nala to relinquish control, taking it in a way that Nala is unable to deny.

Nala Dekker went in search of her partner's killer, but found something far more dangerous—Tantum Maddox, the only man who can bring her to her knees and force her to relinquish control.

The recipe for the men in my stories: dark and mysterious, followed by a cup of strong and confident, and (besides magnificent bodies and shameless aptitudes, of course) they must have a heart that you want to rip from the imaginary pages of your e-Reader and take to bed with you at night.

Tell me some ingredients that would be in your recipe for the perfect all grown up bad boy for the opportunity to win a FREE copy of THE RISQUÉ TARGET.

Come visit my website at www.kellygendron.com to get a sneak peek at a few of my up and coming all grown up bad boys. Thanks for joining me today on Fresh Fiction, and thank you, Fresh Fiction, for having me!

Re: Kelly Gendron | Bad Boys all grown up...

A mystery around him, a wicked streak that you
can see in the way he moves and that look in his
eyes, a broken heart needing to be healed by just
the right woman, he has a soft center despite his
reserve. And of course he would come to his
knees for the right one.

I love your description about letting bad boys bake for awhile and what they become.

The bad boy stands glowering at the innocent/not so innocent beauty. He wants her to see him as he really is, not just the hardened shell everyone else sees. He is soft in the center like an expensive truffle. But he has yet to learn how to show it.
(Angee Bartlett 1:39pm February 23, 2012)

tall, dark and mysterious with charm and a dash of humor
(Pam Howell 1:39pm February 23, 2012)

Quiet strength, very self confident, knows his place and it is at the top of the pack...a true alpha male.
(Robin McKay 2:26pm February 23, 2012)

Mysterious and quiet. Good looking wouldn't hurt. :-)
(Becky Darmogray 2:37pm February 23, 2012)

Mysterious, strong, confident, good listener, good sense of humour.
(Cheryl McEwen 2:46pm February 23, 2012)

HI KELLEY! I SURE DO AS I'M A BADDDDDDDDDDD GIRL! LOL
(Linda Bass 3:03pm February 23, 2012)

Confident, sexy, protective...
(Colleen Conklin 3:12pm February 23, 2012)

Personally, I'd say a combination of Pam's, Robin's, Becky's, Cheryl's and Colleen's men would do me just fine!!

Later,

Lynn

Full of confidence and charm as well as a sense of humour. He keeps his inner nature to himself as a self defense so no one can hurt him but he is loyal and protective of those he cares for and trusts.
(Chelsea Knestrick 5:07pm February 23, 2012)

A man that is confident and passionate in what he does is a nice starter. Someone who has gone through just enough of the knocks to know whats important and what to drop behind. He will have the dominance showing through him to just the right heat and the mystery that makes you want and have to look to see the rest of what's behind those captivating, searing eyes. The small smirk of that delicious mouth will make you lick your lips for wanting. All the while that HOT, HOT body of his will be calling for you with his dominance and you will have to tangle because nothing too easy will do. You take is all in account..mysterious,captivating,intelligence,humor,tall, strong,confident...Hmmm... should I let my take charge attitude down to see the passion under all that wonderful Bad Boy ..Hell yeah! Your books sound yummy, Thanks
(Margie Gagarin 5:22pm February 23, 2012)

Loyal, passionate, wicked sense of humor, smoldering eyes, hot sexy butt and maybe slightly wounded but not unsavable.
(Patti Paonessa 6:49pm February 23, 2012)

I love it! Tantum plows through women like a "tank" until he gets to
Nala...who then breaks down her control...until he gets what they both
want.....can't wait for the next one ;)
(Melissa Loeffert 8:39pm February 23, 2012)

I figure an all grown up bad boy would have a lot of life experience to draw from so he should be world wise but not yet world weary. And, I want him to have reached the point where a woman is his comfort and focus and no longer dispensible.
(Jennifer Beyer 10:01pm February 23, 2012)

Someone who comes off as if they have a bit of a "bad ass" (can I say that?) attitude, but you really know he has the heart of a pussycat, and tons of compassion!! He can show you how much behind closed doors, as well as to those who are in need of help. He's slightly different from the boy next door, and the ladies seem to turn their heads ever so slightly as he walks by, but they don't know why. Perhaps it's the way he carries himself. He can be bad, but in a good way!!
(Peggy Roberson 11:00pm February 23, 2012)

Sounds like a good read. You are new to me, so I'd love to read one of your books.
(Molly Wilsbacher 11:39pm February 23, 2012)

tall , dark and omg.. love the cover!!cant wait to read!!
(Jennifer Beck 11:44pm February 23, 2012)

I was intelligence, a quick wit & a devil-may-care attitude.
(Mary Preston 11:50pm February 23, 2012)

After reading all the comments, I can't think of anything to add. Your book sounds wonderful!
(Mary C 11:56pm February 23, 2012)

Confidence, loyalty, strength in many forms including strenght of character and family ties.
(Lisa Kendall 1:20am February 24, 2012)

Hi Kelly,
I saw that I won your e-book, "The Risque Target", but I don't know how to download the book. My daughter won a book on FreshFiction and they sent her an email, but I haven't gotten any email. I will be going on vacation soon, and would love to be able to read it then.
Thanks!
