One Hero to Rule Them All

I sure it comes as no surprise to anyone, but the winner of the Boys of Brockmann Battle Royale was.....

Sam Starrett!!!!

He seemed like such a jerk in the beginning, but oh how he changed. By the end of the most recent book he has emerged as a tough, sex, sweet, loyal, passionate, wonderful man/husband/lover/best friend. He didn't just change, he grew up. It happened so gradually (over the course of 12 books) that it was completely believable. Oh Sam, how we love thee!

So here endeth the Battle. A hero has been proclaimed and he shall rule forever as Brockmann's Best. (Unless, of course, she still has some new ideas up her sleeve)

Battle, the final skirmish

OY! No Internet access since Friday at 3ish. This is a new form of hell, I tell you!

We have reached the final installment of the Battle Royale! It is down to three heroes, each wonderful for their own reasons. I must say I was surprised by the outcome. I am crying tears of sadness over the loss of Stan. Then again, I have him in my DIK hut, so I guess only you all have lost him. And what is with the Kenny/Max upset??!!??! ehem... anyhow.

So here they are, the final three:

Tom Paoletti vs. Ken "Wildcard" Karmody vs. Sam Starrett

Who will you pick?

Brockmann bash is nearly over!

The end of May is in sight. That means that the Marvelous Men of May: Brockmann Boys is nearly over.

Voting for this round of the Battle Royale ends tomorrow!

No one has entered my contest :( I'm so sad. Brockmann's boys are feeling no love. Come on! You still have about five days to develop your ode to Alphas.

Now I need to go read All Through the Night.

Book Club deadline is tomorrow! Unsung Hero!!!!

Brockmann contest ahoy!!!

Oh boy! The Battle Royale is intense. Two of our match ups are tied at 4 votes a piece. Come on readers, it is time to vote. Here in Chicago we have a motto, "Vote early and vote often!"

Alright, now for the contest. This will be the first ever book contest on What Women Read. You know you want to be part of this historic occasion! I mean, come on, hot heroes and a free book? What is not to love? Interested? Here are the details:

What to do: Write an ode to your favorite Brockmann hero. Can't choose just one? Why then, write and ode to the wonderous Ms. Brockmann, herself! Entertain me please. Work is... stressful. I can use the laugh.

When to do it: By this time next Tuesday night (May 27th)

What you get: A paperback copy of the Brockmann book of your choice. Wooo! Free book!

Why to do it: Because it is fun! Also, this fine gentleman says you should...

Gawd! Hmm... could this be Sam? Perhaps Cosmo? Wildcard? Jenk? Guh!

The Battle Rages on!

Holy cow! (to quote my favorite long-dead sports announcer) Where has May gone? It is more than halfway over! Oy! I better get a move on with our BofB Battle Royale.

The competition was fierce. Some heroes won by a landslide, others squeaked in a last minute victory (thank god!) So now we move on to round 2. All these men are a bot battle scarred, but that is how we love them. As you peruse the new match ups I will be in my hut comforting the losers ;)


Round 2 match ups:

Stan Wolchonok vs. Tom Paoletti vs. Ric Alvarado

Ken "Wildcard" Karmody vs. Max Bhagat

Jules Cassidy vs. Sam Starrett


Oh! The pain!!! That last match up is going to kill me! I think the losers may need to comfort me.

Battle Royale continues...

The first skirmish in the Boys of Brockmann Battle Royale concluded on Friday. The winners were:

Sam Starrett (duh!)
Tom Paoletti
Ric Alvarado


The Battle continues today with four more pairs of men facing off to see who will reign supreme as the ultimate Brockmann hero. Cast your votes ladies and gentlemen (if any gentlemen actually read this here blog), for you shall help determine the winner.

Who will it be?

Jimmy Nash (Flashpoint) or Ken "Wildcard" Karmody (Out of Control)

Max Bhagat (Breaking Point) or Mark "Jenk" Jenkins (Into the Storm)

Jules Cassidy (Force of Nature) or Cosmo Richter (Hot Target)

Stan Wolchonok (Over the Edge) or Mike Muldoon (Into the Night)

Who's that boy?

It's that time again. Name that Brockmann Boy!

I feel as though I have been ignoring my Bodacious Boys of Brockmann this week. DIk has been keeping me busy. Then again, I have now chosen three of my seven heroes, and two of them are Troubleshooter men: Max and Sam. ::sigh:: I am considering one more of her heroes for my DIK harem, but I will have to ponder this a bit more.

In the meantime, I give you another male specimen to match up. Which Troubleshooter could this be?

Oh! And don't forget to vote in the BofB Battle Royale. One more day for round one. Round two will be up tomorrow with four pair of men!

Let The Battle Begin!!!

And so it begins, a legendary battle of heroes. We pit SEAL against SEAL, Alpha against Alpha. Name have been put in a hat and pulled at random. The pair ups have been completed. We begin with two tough showdowns:

Grady Morant, aka. Jones vs. Tom Paoletti


Robin Chadwick vs. Ric Alvarado


Huh, OK maybe this battle is not as tough as future battles. If you love any of these men make sure you clicky-click on the polls!

**Update!!!**
I the interest of time (I don't want this showdown lasting until August!), I have added one more pair for the BofB face off. I know you will all be interested in voting for this one.
