Hello everyone and welcome to A Hero's Blog Hop. I'm number 28 on this hop, but there are over 100 blogs participating to increase your chance of winning some great prizes!!
Those of you familiar with my books, you know I love to write about heroes from our military. In addition to writing 4 books about Navy SEALs (my Sweet Awakenings Series) I also have written Love Knows No Boundaries which tells the tale of a young law enforcement officer finding love in the most unlikely of places. In June, When Promise Meets Passion was released. It centers on a former Marine, turned Chief of Police who has a young and pretty deputy keeping him awake at night. Even my current works in progress have heroes in them. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stay away from the strong protective types who will guard those that they love in the wake of all obstacles.
Along this hop you will read about some wonderful heroes. What makes a hero though? Does it always have to be someone who is willing to risk life and limb for others? Or is it someone who shelters and cares for the ones they love in other ways. Some may call a sports figure a hero.. Others may say it was a teacher who was generous with time when they didn't have to be.. While others may look to superheroes or movie stars. According to Dictionary.com, the definition of a hero states, "a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal"
To win a copy of my newest release, When Promise Meets Passion leave me a comment below (with your email address) telling me who your hero is. If you don't have one, who do you see as one? There is no wrong answer as I'm sure we can all agree, heroes come in many forms. 
Be sure to stop by the other blogs on this hop below and a BIG THANK you to
for organizing such a wonderful hop!!

I guess I would say my dad is my hero - he's always been there for us kids and is an honorable man. He's always doing something for others.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My hero is my husband. He's always there for me with his strength and his love.

My hero(s) are our men and women in uniform! They do so much to keep us safe and get so very little in return. They deserve every honor we can give them.

My main heroes are military heroes. Seriously, If I had to put my life into any of their hands it'd be a Marine. Daddy is a Marine and so is one of my closest friends and do or die is a good motivator.

Hands down, my hubby! He is in the army! He doesn't think himself a hero but I think that adds to why I think he is on. Thank you for the giveaway.

my husband - he's lover, provider, protector and friend .. with a great voice, an infectious laugh and body heat to keep me (always cold footed) warm at night.
Thanks for participating

my hero is my maternal grandfather. he served in the British armed forces during world war 2. on d day he was behind the lines in France trying to ensure the rest of the troupes got thru the firing lines with ease. he was also one of those who freed people from the concentration camps. he doesn't talk about it much but i know he values life above anything else

My dad is my hero, for sure. He's going through some major health issues right now, but still puts other people's welfare ahead of his own and does what he feels he has to. He's always been a giver, and I don't think he's ever thought about going about things any other way.

I think I'm gonna go with my dad as my hero. He's always looking to please the people around him and is often selfless.

kimberly.a.shook(at)gmail(dot)com
I think I have several in my life my husband, my father but when I think of a hero I think of my grandfather. He taught me the meaning of charity, of faith, of strength and he always reminded me to follow my dreams and never settle. Thanks Carin mawmom(at)gmail(dot)com
My mom and my husband are my biggest heroes. Thanks for participating! emily joy drake at gmail dot com
My perfect hero has to be tall, dark, and handsome, have a six or eight pack, be faithful, loyal, and love his woman beyond reason.<^_^>

I have many heroes (bless them!)--the young neighbor who carried me to safety in the flood; my son who held me close when my husband died; my daughter who saved a bit of him and put it in a locket for me; and my husband who was and is always there in my darkest hours, protecting me in unexpected ways. M. S. Spencer
My dad, he was the finest man I ever knew...Have a great summer!
My mom, she is my greatest hero, so many things would not have been possible if not for my mom. Thx for giveaway.

I'd say that my hero is my husband, he is a survivor of stage 4 non small cell lung cancer and it was thought that he wouldn't live outside 2 years of when he was diagnosed. It has been 5 1/2 years now and he's been cancer free for 3 1/2. He's also a Vietnam Veteran that served in our awesome Navy.

A hero is a person, who is utterly selfless. Someone who will go to any length to protect others who can't do it for themselves. Just thinking about a very recent and tragic event; there were some wonderful stories of true heroism.

My book heroes are the McKay men from the Rough Riders series by Lorelei James. They have the alpha male attitude, but also the willingness to do anything for their lady! Can't go wrong with that.

I love heroes who put themselves out there when you think things are at a dead end like JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood.

My favorite fictional hero is my own, Heath. (Because he'll stone me to death if I name anyone else. Seriously, living with this guy in my head is quite the experience! LOL)
He isn't actually fully aware yet that he is going to be a hero, but that won't stop him from shoving his way into the spotlight! The funny thing about this is that when he actually does something heroic, like saving a bunch of orphans from a flood or beating the daylights out of an abusive bastard, he doesn't brag about it. He'd much sooner talk about his sexual conquests, his chess match wins, or his sexual conquests. (He's with twins right now, thus the double mention. My poor brain. LOL) But in the end he will prove that he is a great hero. Then again, maybe he'll be the ultimate villain. I'd hate to rule anyone out just yet, as readers will have a long journey ahead before that answer sneaks out! ;)

One of my favorite fictional heroes is Gabe from Pamela Clare's I-Team :)
Thanks!

My hero is my mother. She is the epitome of strength, wisdom, and caring. She has raised me, beat cancer, and now cares for my ill father. She does it without complaints or sorrow. Even at my age I can still look to her for advice. She lends me power strength to overcome my problems as well

My hero is my mom. Shes an amazing person. Shes the type of person to give you the shirt off her back, give you a home if you need it, give you the last of her groceries, lend a helping hand, etc. Shes sweet, kind and always has a good word for everyone. She sees the best in people. Shes the type that if your glass in half empty, she sees it as half full and is grateful for it. Ive always looked up to her. If i can be half the person she is, id be happy. My mom works as a manager of a home that takes care of mentally ill people. She had a staff member that tried to get her fired more times than i can count, she gave my mom a hard time, and made her job..hellish. The woman had a boyfriend that stole her purse, which had all of her money, credit cards and the petty cash from her work (shed just cashed the check). (Over thousand dollars i think) The woman ended up in the hospital, had 3 or 4 strokes and was in really bad shape. You know what my mom did? She borrowed the money from check and go (a couple of them), took the blame for everything, and helped this woman get better. My mom wouldnt even accept the money back when the woman tried to repay her. My mom and her are now best friends. I have several stories like this. She may get a bit mad, but her thing is, people make mistakes. They shouldnt be punished for them forever. Whatever happened, happened and its now a new day. :) To me, my mom is amazing. Thanks for the fun hop and the awesome giveaway! Ya all rock!! :)

My hero is my Husband of 25 years.
Sorry forgot my email: joylynne66@hotmail.com
Ithink the best type of hero is someone who puts others before themselves, before their own health or safety.
