Thanks for having me on the blog today. My name is Stormie Kent, and I have a brand new paranormal romance out titled, Shifter Magnetism. In it, my witch heroine, Leila falls for wolf shifter, Nic Lobo. Today I want to focus on what attracts us to alpha heroes and especially shifter heroes.
In many m/f romance novels, the hero starts out as a complete alpha. He’s slightly self-centered, aggressive, he might be a bit of a jerk, but he is always sexy, and protective. During the novel he changes, still alpha, but softened in some way by the love of and love for the heroine. Readers seem to like this combination of the alpha converted into a potential family guy.
