Sigh... what a great job. Who wouldn’t love to sit in a comfy chair
overlooking the ocean dreaming up dream men!
So what is an alpha male?
Nick Richards, my hero in Holiday Affair embodies many of the characteristics
of a true alpha male.
Nick is a natural leader with huge confidence in his abilities whether it is
ocean sailing, running a university faculty or doing his research in exotic
locales. He is a good problem solver until he comes head to head with his
feelings for Melissa McIntyre—then his intellect tells him one thing, but his
heart runs a mile! He is a high achiever in his chosen field and wealthy enough
to do what he wants and go where he wants. Alpha males learn and grow from their
mistakes and this is what makes them such great leaders.
They are not overly emotional, although Nick does apologise to Lissy for a
bet gone wrong where he comes off as a bit of a male chauvinist. His emotions
run deep but he prefers not to talk about them.
He is active and adventurous—he sails, surfs the big breaks, scuba dives,
paraglides and climbs volcanoes! His physical characteristics are imposing—he is
tall, tanned and strong, with a roguish grin and is hotter and sexier than your
average man.
Nick is goal-oriented and does not intend to fall in love. His research and
his adventurous life are what he wants out of life. However in his second
meeting with Lissy, ‘Nick wanted her with an intensity that shocked
him.’
But underneath it all, for me the best moment is when the alpha male opens up
and shows his sensitive and caring side. That’s when the romance really kicks in
for me. Sigh...
Synopsis :
Staid professor Lissy McIntyre believes that choosing a mate should be based on common sense, not runaway passion. And she would certainly never pick a rolling stone like Nick Richards for long-term love. But a red-hot, tropical romance? Oh, yeah. He’s got a body just made for sinning and his sizzling kisses leave her senseless.
Staid professor Lissy McIntyre believes that choosing a mate should be based on common sense, not runaway passion. And she would certainly never pick a rolling stone like Nick Richards for long-term love. But a red-hot, tropical romance? Oh, yeah. He’s got a body just made for sinning and his sizzling kisses leave her senseless.
When Nick blows into town, he’s stunned to discover that
his no-nonsense new neighbor and co-worker is the same sultry creature he
seduced for one night of forbidden island pleasure. He’s unaccustomed to
staying in one place for long, but he just can’t seem to keep his hands off the
multi-faceted woman. Will Nick break loyal Lissy’s heart or will she be the one
woman he simply can’t walk away from?

Never had one but want this one.
Sort of had a holiday affair that only lasted a couple months after we both went back home to different continents.

Now Nick sounds like my kind of guy!
Loved the blurb :)
I met my husband on vacation so I guess you could say I had a holiday affair that has lasted 18 years! Thanks for the giveaway!
