Pirates and Romance with Aislinn Kerry

One of the first romances I remember reading, stolen from my mom's well-stocked shelves, was about a sailor woman and the pirate who fell in love with her. It's been more than a decade since I read that book, but I still remember it, and can cite whole passages. What is it about pirates that captures our imagination so readily? They're lawless, often ruthless, and not the sort of men I'd choose to hang out with at a coffee shop. But between the covers of a book? Oh boy. I just can't resist.

Pirates are the ultimate alpha male. Tough and strong, decisive, a natural leader -- he'd have to be, to lead his crew -- they're the epitome of many traits that make us swoon. They're independent, eschewing the strictures of society to carve their own way in life. And then there's the inherent appeal of the setting -- the open ocean, glorious sunsets, the primal struggle against nature when a storm rolls in. And personally, I think there's nothing sexier than a strong, strong-willed, independent rogue who finds himself humbled by love.

I recently finished writing my first pirate novel, and it was just as much fun as I'd hoped it would be. Conall is everything that's made me swoon for pirates since I snuck that first novel off my mom's bookcase -- strong, competent, confident, and fiercely loyal to those who've earned it. I can't wait to introduce him to readers!

Okay, so you know the game, find your hot man who can not live without the sea, comment and leave me a link to his picture!  Winner gets chosen by Aislinn on Tuesday night.

I Like the Bad Guy - his scene with Johny - Jack Sparrow - where they are throwing the fan back and forth is awesome - as is the beginning of the third movie where he is evilly hanging all the pirates - Tom Hollander
as Lord Cutler Beckett

I agree with Alix and totally forgot about his time as a pirate - James Cavezil in the Count of Monte Christo - which is an awesome awesome film I can not recommend enough. 

Sure thing Jasmine -  Any boat or ocean going man counts as far as I am concerned.  I love it when a man spanks a woman in these old films and they add music and it is just good old fun and all right.  Make it John Wayne doing the spanking and I might line up myself!

Really all the hotties in Pirates of the Carribean makes this category easier!  I like me some Norrington too Yvette.  Even when he is less then clean, well often then he is too hot.  In a picture I do not have to smell whatever it is making him that dirty!
