Here's a taste of some of the yummy hotness in the Grand Prize. 
 
******************************
 
In addition to a Kindle copy in the Grand Prize,
Lisa Renee Jones is also donating Kindle copies to 5 Runner-ups!
 
Lisa Renee Jones:    a contemporary and paranormal erotica romance author, Jones' suspense truly sizzles with an energy similar to FBI tales with a twist
Prize:     Kindle copy of The Master Undone to Winner and 5 Runner-ups
 
Mark Compton is the Master of his universe, whether its in the art world or in his club.  Women would kill to be with him. Just his presence is enough to lead women and men to cede their control over to him.  But to be the one who causes Him to lose His infamous control??  That's hot. 
 
The Master Undone is part of The Inside Out series, which is being developed for TV by STARZ. It follows the journey of Mark Compton, one of the major characters in If I Were You, Being Me, and Revealing Us.  While the initial mystery may be solved, it is far from being resolved.  Life continues and Mark faces a very  unsure future. Its sequel My Hunger releases July 7th. 
 
The other major character is Chris Merit, whose story splinters off in His Secrets and then No In Between (releasing Aug. 19).  In torn jeans and riding a motorcycle, Chris is no less of a Dom.  Both Doms have pasts that have left their scars on each man's actions.  The desire to heal him and make him whole adds to his appeal, making the intimate scenes even hotter. 
 
 
 
 
 
******************************
 
 
 
Iyana Jenna:    an MM romance author of 21 novels and novellas in Adult and YA genres
Prize:    ebook of Will And Pleasure
 
Another character who needs healing is Luke from Iyana Jenna's new release Will And Pleasure.  Whether its a sick puppy or a broken man, there is an innate drive that melts our hearts, driving to make him whole again.  And perhaps in our own way, heal a part of ourselves.  Who can resist????
 
   
******************************
 
Sophie Oak:    author of 2 Cowboy erotica ménage series Nights In Bliss, Colorado and Texas Sirens, as well as the paranormal erotica ménage series A Faery Story.  She also writes the Masters And Mercenaries erotica ménage series and Thieves paranormal erotica series under Lexi Blake, and co-authors the Masters Of Ménage series with Shayla Black
Prize: eBook of winner's choice from Sophie Oak or Lexi Blake backlists
 
Everyone has such different ideas about what makes a man HOT.  And luckily there are tons of romance books available to meet your whim.  Do you like characters like Jack, the sexy Dom, or Sam, the playful lover, (both willing to protect you from all threats) from Small Town Siren by Sophie Oak?  What is your dream come true? your ultimate fantasy?

Tara Rose:    Ménage BDSM author of 3 series: Racy Nights, The Alpha Legend, and Passion Peak, Colorado.  Her new series The Doms of Sybaris Cove releases August 11. 
Prize:   winner's choice of 3 ebooks from Tara Rose's backlist
 
Another author that gives you plenty of options to choose from is Tara Rose.  I don't know what they put in the water in Indiana and Colorado--but all her male characters are HOT!  I can never pick a favorite one because the answer if always, which book did I finish last.  Each of Tara's men are unique and I think that adds to the HAWT factor:  something unique and special to just that one man.  The one thing you can't get from anyone else and have to have.  In her new release Chasing Their Racy Destiny, thunder and lightning bring them together for a night of passion.

******************************
 
Katherine Rhodes: author of the BDSM romance series Club Imperial, she enjoys writing erotic romances which are kinky, dirty, and fun
Prize:   ecopy (Kindle) Consensual, book 1 of Club Imperial series
 
It's that zing of electricity, where lightning races through you with just the gentlest touch, that heats you up with the right man.   A feeling that becomes addictive, driving you to be with him.  As Emmy finds with Nathaniel, She couldn’t deny the electricity between them, the utter animal magnetism She felt for him.  She draws him into her world so she can keep him.  And in book 3 Not Quite Juliet, sparks fly between Morgan and Nick D., turning their one-night fling into something more serious. 
 
   
******************************
 
Dina Redmon:  a novelist specializing in coming of age and romance/erotica books
Prize:    kindle copies of Chasing Circumstances and To Speak of it Again
 
One thing is for sure, though.  You never believe it can be real, until you meet HIM.  And when you do, are you willing to drop everything to be with HIM?  In Chasing Circumstance, Amia has to decide whether to cross an ocean, moving to Scotland, after falling for Stuart.  Could you/Would you for the right man?  for the man who makes you melt?
 
   
******************************
Aurora Zahni:   author of the contemporary coming of age Heller Park series
Prize:  kindle ecopies of  Ellie Stanton and Terminal Romantic (Heller Park books 1 & 2)
 
According to Aurora, "most rational people can agree to the fact that time and space are relative. The same could be said about love and romance."  And even more so is true about what defines HOT.  Ellie Stanton has to experience life to learn what she wants, much as we like to try out different romances, looking for that perfect Book Boyfriend.

Prize:  (kindle ecopy) Falling into You, book 1 of I Get What I Want series
 
Another version of a hot male is a guy who's not afraid to admit he was wrong.  It is a rare breed, so snatch him up when you can.  In Jaden's recent release, Vinny is on a mission to show her just how wrong he was and how far he'll go to prove they belong together.  Who doesn't want to be chased by a hot man???
 
 
******************************

Prize:  To Be Yours Forever (kindle ecopy)
 
Heck, even time can't keep a woman away from the hot man that she is supposed to be with.  In Dorfman's To Be Yours Forever, time travel allows the reunion of two lovers.  Think of all the mistakes you could correct, the one that got away that you could catch and keep--if only time travel was real.  Which hot guy would you go back to visit.  For me that's easy:  James Dean.

******************************
Sandrine Gasq Dion:  author of the Assassin-Shifter series and Men of Manhattan series
Prize:  ebook of winner's choice from her backlist.
Ok, I have been in love with this series for a long time, but I have to admit it was this cover that caught my eye.  I quickly read all 6 books to get to this one. {Don't laugh--you've done it too!}  Sandrine's men are hardcore military assassins, but she lets us see behind that wall into the heart and conscious of the man.  What more could you want to make you melt??

AMZ LINK
******************************
Susan Stoker:   Her first series, Beyond Reality, will be a trilogy, with all three books in the series having HEAs
Prize:   (kindle ecopy) Outback Hearts
Aye, Mate, the Outback.....
Where men talk with accents that make your womb do a flip-flop and who carry incredibly long knives, the better to protect and feed you with.  Or make quick work of those pesky clothes when you get overheated.  Some of my favorite fictional boyfriends are Aussies (and some of my imaginary ones, too {wink}). 
******************************
Lori King: author of The Gray Pack series, the Surrender Trilogy, the Apache Crossing series, and the new  Fetish & Fantasy short stories series. She writes ménage and paranormal romance.
Prize:   eBooks of  Weekend Surrender and Watchful Sin
 Of course, the Strong, Silent type works for me, too.  Especially a tall cowboy, who knows how to handle a horse and some rope.  He tips that hat just enough to see his eyes, while his wide shoulders and sure stance lets you know his politeness ends in the bedroom.  And yet, he still makes sure you come first.  And Lori King brings us 4 of these hot males into the prize basket.  They're so hot, the sky in the cover is already on fire!

AMZ LINK
******************************
Alicia Sparks:  paranormal romance author of several series (Primitive, Dragon's Law, and Memphis Mayhem)  and stand-alone titles.
Prize: Primitive Fix (kindle copy)
Not all hot male characters are human, which is why we don't call this the hottest man contest.  Sometimes you need that something extra, that primitive animal side to come out and claim you.  Me?  I'm partial to tigers and bears, but have been known to enjoy the company of few wolves.  And as Alicia Sparks reminds us, who knows what lurks in the forests--it could be your mate. 

AMZ LINK
******************************
Suzy Shearer:   Aussie author of BDSM romance series The Club
Prize:   ebooks of The Club 1: Bound, The Club 2: Uncollared and The Club 3: Waxed
Perhaps it is the ability of the man to reign in his animalistic impulses, to be in complete control, that you find hot.  Knowing he holds all that passion on such a tight leash and could unleash it upon you at any moment of his choosing.  Suzy Shearer takes us into The Club, where the touch of the Master's hand is sure to melt your inhibitions.
******************************
J. Rose Alexander:  this author enjoys putting on her cape and mask to write superheroes and fairy tales
Prize:  Kindle ecopy of Shadow in Glass
Let's not forget about the fairy tale prince who rides in on his white horse. We  modern gals know that we have to save ourselves, but wouldn't it be nice to make your own fairy tale story with your version of the dashing prince?
