Today I wanted to chat about heroes! Tobias Walcott, the Earl of Blade, the hero
from my latest novel WICKED
IN HIS ARMS, is flawed, arrogant, emotionally controlled, and ruthless, but
he is also charming, sweet, and quite honorable despite his imperfections.
I love heroes who are alpha and bad ass. The outlaws, the antiheroes, and the
rouges who possess a heart of goodness, and believe in the power of family and
love, and are willing to do anything to protect those they love. So today I am
sharing my top five binge worthy TV series featuring the most swoon worthy,
captivating, ruthless, wonderful, and heartbreakingly-flawed, but honorable heroes!
When I first discovered TWD it had already gone four seasons. I binge watched
roughly fifty episodes in two days, and was something of a zombie/walker myself
when my hubby and I were through. This series is masterfully designed, and
utterly compelling. Its beauty, and savagery as people struggle to survive in a
world that cannot be explained must be ardently admired. Each character is
developed, and we are taken on such a chilling journey as we watch them struggle
to maintain their humanity and love for each other in a viscous world. Rick
Grimes, as the lead male character, is simply stunning. A family man who
respects law and order, had to evolve from being a man of honor and fairness, to
one with a ruthless will, capable of anything to save those he love, but somehow
still maintaining his core integrity and honor. Love him!
Ross Poldark returns to England after fighting in the American Revolution to
find he lost his love to his cousin, his father his dead, and his inheritance is
burdened with debt. Though Demelza (our heroine is my fave character) I fell in
love with Ross from the first episode! He was so appealing as a hero. He was
honorable, kind, yet so wonderfully flawed, I hummed with pleasure each time he
graced the screen. He is a complex character, who fights for those less
fortunate, and criticize the high society (gentry) to which he was born because
of their callous attitude toward those who are less fortunate.
John Luther is a lead detective with London Serious Crime Unit. He is a
wonderfully drawn character who possess charm, wit, sex appeal, and cunning
intelligence. It was thrilling to learn the depth to his character as he hunts
and brings to justice serial killers with his own moral code and lawlessness.
Ragnar is such a unique character! He is portrayed as a legendary and ruthless
Viking warrior, a man of strong family values, who loves his sons and wives, but
who is also hungry for power. He is a complex man who loves battles and glory,
hungers for knowledge, driven to success at all cost. This hero/utter bad ass
warrior/rouge is an absolute delight to learn!
Set in the small town of Banshee in Pennsylvania, our swoony worthy hero is an
enigmatic ex-con and master thief, who assumes the identity of Lucas Hood, the
town's murdered sheriff, to hide from a powerful crime lord. Lucas is a
compelling hero who is a perfect blend of charm, lawlessness, and honor!
Thank you for reading and I highly recommend binge watching all the series
mentioned above because there is just no other way to devour them.
Tobias Walcott, the Earl of Blade, has learned it is best to exercise rigid
control over his passions and emotions in all that he does. Uncaring that it
makes him seem cool and aloof to most in the ton, he is content with his desire
to only woo agreeable and demur females. Then unforeseen circumstances see him
trapped in a closet at a house party with the last woman he would ever make his
countess.
Lady Olivia Sherwood is everything he should not desire in a
female—unconventional, too decisive, and utterly without decorum. But passion
ignites between them and they are discovered. Honor demands they wed, and while
Tobias finds himself unwillingly drawn to the bewitching beauty, he must do
everything not to tempt the passion that burns in him for her, lest it leads to
disastrous consequences.

Stacy is an avid reader of novels with a deep passion for writing. She
especially loves romance and adores writing about people falling in love. Stacy
lives a lot in the worlds she creates and actively speaks to her characters (out
loud). She has a warrior way, never give up on her dreams. When Stacy is not
writing, she spends a copious amount of time drooling over Rick Grimes from
Walking Dead, watching Japanese anime and playing video games with her love,
Dusean Nelson.
Hi, Stacy! I love it when tough alphas fall hard. Oh, and Ross and Ragnar are my absolute favorites! Love those Vikings and Cornishmen. I haven't seen the other shows you mention, but I've been wanting to check them out. Good luck with Wicked! I'm enjoying it so far. (Oberon Wonch 7:54pm January 25, 2017)
