This week I’m helping Entangled Publishing celebrate new adult heroes! Today is focused on the out-of-this-world hotness of otherworldly heroes! Entangled has all of the Embrace books that feature paranormal heroes on sale for just 99¢ today!
Authors
Marnee Blake, Reese Monroe, & Jocelyn Adams share their inspiration for
their otherworldly heroes!
Who or
what inspired your otherworldly heroes?
Reese
Monroe (author of the Bound by Hades series): I've always been inspired by The
Rock and Vin Diesel. Yeah, I know I kind of dated myself a little there, but in
some of their movies...**whew**...the lengths to which they'll go to protect
what's theirs--amazing to watch.
Off the screen, if you watch their social media feeds, it's all about family, inspiration and working hard for your goals. I'm all about that.
Oh, and they're nice to look at, too.
As far as what inspired me while creating my heroes...Love. In all honesty, faith, hope and love are the key elements to all my stories. Love being the greatest of these. It makes my heroes stronger than they already are and that kind of strength, no matter what kind of evil they face off with, gives them an edge.

Jocelyn
Adams (author of the Mortal Machine series): Years ago, a friend of mine suggested
I read the Anita Blake series of books by Laurel K. Hamilton, and I absolutely
fell for Jean-Claude. Tall, unusual, with a colorful past, and that French
accent was the cherry on top. He was the first hero I'd ever read that stepped
outside the boundaries of typical romantic relationships. The moment I finished
the first book in the series, I knew what genre I wanted to write.
Besides
otherworldly heroes, about what kind of heroes do you like to read?
Marnee
Blake (author of the Altered series): I love reading about heroes who do
real-life heroic things as well. FBI agents, cops, detectives, military men,
firefighters... People who help others are sexy.
Reese:
Those who cherish their mates above all else and would do anything for them.
Also, I love a good hero that is strong and honorable.
Jocelyn:
Dark anti-heroes are my absolute favorite, or even better,
villain-turned-heroes. There's nothing I love more than a good redemption
story.
Obsession
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Hunter is a
ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp,
which usually doesn't chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of
the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he's saddled with something he's
never had to do before: protect the human Serena Cross from his mortal enemy.
Soon he's doing the unthinkable breaking the rules he's lived by. But are the
aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena's life...or is it
Hunter?

Marked by
Hades by Reese Monroe
Bound by
Hades #2
For 911
years, Gatekeeper companion Justin Bradford has denied the possibility of being
mated to only one woman. He enjoys them all too much to settle down. So when he
feels his mate’s Ahavah mark surface, his first instinct is to ignore it. But
when he sees the leather-clad beauty in need of his help that’s easier said
than done. As Justin and Yvonne navigate the mystery of her past, their bond
grows, but the secrets they discover and the sacrifices that must be made could
be enough to rip them apart for eternity.

lead to Lucifer’s downfall. That is, until she’s seduced and tortured by a...frat
boy? Working together is the only way Slade can find his sister and Halena the
Artifacts,
but as they face the darkest of evil, crushing Halena’s carefully erected walls

Altered by
Marnee Blake
Altered #1
The
sickness came on suddenly and violently. When it ended, the entire town of
Glory seemed to be dead...except Blue Michaels. And she is very different. Only
a handful of them made it, including U.S. Army Specialist Seth Campbell, who is
fierce and protective, and way too good-looking. Now they are hunted. What
their pursuers don't know is each of them has strange new powers. And they’ll
use their "gifts" to survive...no matter who stands in their way.

Special-ops
soldier Nick Degrassi blames himself for Kitty Laughton’s capture, and he’ll do
whatever he can to free the quiet beauty, but close quarters and a shared
secret bring an attraction that neither of them expected. With the organization
that started it all making mercenaries for hire, Nick and Kitty must save
themselves and stop a madman...before it’s too late.

Darkside
Sun by Jocelyn Adams
Mortal
Machine #1
Since she
was six years old, Addison Beckett's seen the world around her unraveling, as
if someone is pulling a thread from a sweater and it’s all slowly coming
undone. Her arrogant-but-
hot
professor Asher Green insists that the dead from a parallel dimension are
trying to possess the living in this one. And since Addison seems to be the
only one who can see these “wraiths,”she just might be the key to saving the
world. Stop the wraiths. Break the rules. Save the world. All in a day’s work.
Normal was overrated, anyway.

Midnight
Dawn by Jocelyn Adams
Mortal
Machine #2
With only
three days until the wraith king turns the earth into an all-you-can-eat
buffet, Addison Beckett must enlist brooding sentinel Asher Green’s help. But
Asher has erased her memory, along with the knowledge that he loves her, wants
her, needs her. When Addison’s trapped by the wraith king, she must choose who
will stand by her side during battle: the sentinel she loves who refuses to
love her back, or a powerful stranger who insists they’re meant to be together.
Her decision will decide the fate of humanity, and once determined, can’t be
undone.

Forever
Dusk by Jocelyn Adams
Mortal
Machine #3
Life for
the Mortal Machine—the secret-society that protects Earth from dark forces—has
become almost...normal. For everyone but Addison. The evil she's imprisoned in
her soul is destroying her sanity. Consequently, nobody believes her warnings
that an old enemy has returned. If she relies too much on her soul mate Asher,
he'll likely imprison her, if only to keep her safe. So she's forced to
distance herself from her love—to keep the world from certain death.
