Today I’m continuing my countdown of the Hottest Men in Scifi Romance. If you missed last week’s installment, check it out over at the Liquid Silver Books blog here. I’m also giving away some PRIZES!
Before I give my final 5 picks, I asked author Paige Tyler to tell me who she thought was the hunkiest man in science fiction romance. Here’s what she said:
Paige Tyler: Garrick Carlisle (Valuable Cargo)
Why he’s hot:
“At 6'4" with blond hair, blue eyes and a body that would put the models on the cover of Muscle and Fitness to shame, he's completely gorgeous and utterly unique. The gorgeous part may be obvious, but why do I say unique? Well, you have to understand that in my book, Garrick is found by a deep space salvage crew, 700 years after he went into hypersleep!
To say that they just don't make men like him is an understatement. He is truly one of a kind - a fact the captain of the vessel that rescues him soon learns for herself, in the most erotic ways possible. But his looks aren't the only things that make him sexy. Not only does he know how to sweep a girl off her feet, he knows what to do with her when he gets her there! And get this, even though he's rescued by a whole ship full of women, he doesn't have eyes for anyone but his special captain. Now tell me that doesn't shove him up a few points higher on the "I-can't-believe-this-guy-is-so-hot" scale!
And, as if you need any more reasons, it turns out that Garrack will do anything to protect the woman he loves, even if that means flying a spaceship through a dangerous asteroid field, attacking a whole planet full of thugs, and coming face to face with the most feared pirate in the galaxy to do it.
Come on, now tell the truth, doesn't Garrick Carlisle just make you want to melt? That's the very definition of HOT!”
#5 Jorlan en Sarr (The Stone Prince by Gena Showalter)
Why he’s hot: Sexy alien? Check. Slamming body? Double check.
This story is Pygmalion with a scifi twist: The heroine purchases a crumbling, fixer-upper that comes complete with a garden of pleasures, a series of erotic stone statues. One in particular, that of the enchanted Jorlan, tempts her. One kiss is all it takes to make her fall head over heels.
Jorlan is sexy, alpha and humorous as he adapts to life in the modern world and woos the headstrong woman who freed him.
#4 Kesuk (“In Ice” in the Sexy Beast anthology, by Crystal Jordan)
Why he’s hot: This is the first shape shifter on today’s list, but he definitely represents. Kesuk is a bear-shifter who lives on a planet of mostly ice. Although outsiders view his land as barbaric, Kesuk epitomizes the great things about his people: he’s a loving father; a tough but fair leader; and he has a soft spot for damsels in distress – especially when they crash their ships on his planet.
Watch it here:
Why he’s hot: Obviously, I have a thing for sexy aliens. This sexy bad boy is dangerous, dominant and deadly. Even when he’s outnumbered, Barak never stops fighting – especially when it comes to protecting the woman he loves.
He first appeared in book one of the Delroi Connection (Invasion Earth) and I’ve eagerly anticipated reading his story since then.
#2 Zor Q’an Tal (The Empress’ New Clothes, Book # 1 in the Trek Mi Q’an series by Jaid Black)
Why he’s hot: There is a reason this book is a fan favorite– and a lot has to do with the 7-foot tall, built like a tank alien Emperor. While his behavior sometimes pushes the boundary between alpha and jerk, Zor is all about satisfying his woman. His love for her is evident throughout the book and he puts his life on the life several times in order to protect her. Who wouldn’t want a man like that?
#1 Kirek (The Quest by Susan Kearney)
Why he’s hot: Kirek is proud, fiercely independent and strong-willed enough to handle the outspoken female Captain who wins his heart.
I came across this book video on You tube. It was so good, I had to share. Enjoy!
Watch it here:
And now for the goodies!

Kesuk! I've had the hots for that guy for years! And I love that video too :)
Actually I've read most of these and you are right on target. Hot alien hunks are my favorite.
Casting my vote for Kesuk, too ^_^ If there was a blog, Must Love Shifters, Kesuk would have to be the inaugural post. *grrooowl*
Oh my God! I loved Zor in The Empress New Clothes! I read that book years ago. It was my frist by Jaid Black and Zor (along with his sexy brother Dak) struck a chord with me. Talk about alpha men! I'm hooked on that series now.

Michelle, I'm with you on the sexy aliens. I read Gena Showalter's The Stone Prince awhile back and really enjoyed it. But if I had to choose a hot alien to date, I would choose Max from Roswell. Jason Behr is gorgeous.
I think I'd like to go up in his spaceship and just tour the cosmos for a while. He had the best powers of all the aliens on that show anyway, so it'd be nice to just relax in space and let him show off a little.

I haven't read about Kesuk but he sounds hot. I think my fave sexy alien is Spock. For a "dream" date, I think it'd be cool to go on the Starfleet ship and visit different planets. Oh, and I'd love to learn the Vulcan grip.

Oh I enjoyed the entire Trek Mi Q'an series but I LOVE Wolverine. Nothing tops those muscles. I like how he growls too...
Minx
@ R.G.: Yes, Kesuk is such a hottie. He was the first were-bear I'd read about and remains the sexiest. My fave part about him? How much he obviously loved his children and that, despite his gruff attitude, he treated Jain fairly.
Michelle
@ AE: There are so many hot shifters in Crystal Jordan's Carnal Desires world. I liked the were-tiger (I forget his name). His earring was sexy.
Michelle
@ Sasha: Yay! Another Trek fan. I am really, really excited to see the next book in the series. It's been delayed a bit (I think originally, it was supposed to come out this year, but obviously it hasn't).
There were so many hot men in that series: I'm tied between Dak and Kil, Zor's brother, for my fave hot, alien giant. I'm leaning toward Kil just because I really have a thing for the anti-hero, and Kil is just that: ultra lethal, very jaded, gorgeous.
I didn't like his stand-alone story as much as I did Zor's, but Kil is def. a hottie.
@Sabrina: Did you know there is a sequel to "The Stone Prince"? It's called The Pleasure Slave I believe. I haven't read it yet, but I'm leaning toward reading it.
RE: Roswell -- I can't believe I forgot Roswell! My favorite alien on the show was Michael. Because, again, I'm a sucker for bad boys. His relationship with Maria was very steamy and volatile and just...yum.
@Stacey: Hey! Thanks for stopping by again. Yes, Wolverine belongs on EVERY list of sexy, feral men in the scifi world.
(Some could argue that comic book worlds aren't scifi, but I dare that person to tell me there isn't something otherworldly about the hotness of a man who measures at 5'3" being so virile he can get any woman he wants -- except Jean Grey, that is.)
Michelle
@ Victoria: If we're talking about the original Spock, no offense to Leonard Nimoy, not for me. He's definitely cool no matter who plays him, and VERY alpha. But if you're talking about Zach Quinto as Spock, then YAH BABY! I'd date him in a heartbeat.
And I second the desire to learn the Vulcan grip. Sounds like an all-purpose way to end confrontations.
Michelle
@ Minx: Ahh, I'm SO glad I'm not alone in my Wolverine love. He even makes the side burns sexy -- a difficult feat.
Michelle
Thanks for featuring me, Michelle!
*hugs*
Paige
Thanks to everyone who came out and played along. Now for the winners! **DRUMROLL PLEASE** Congratulations to...
Sabrina and Victoria!
I'll be contacting you via email about your prizes.
Michelle
@ Paige: Your very welcome. I love the cover for your book, and your hero sounds very, very yummy. Since I'm a fan of SF books, this one is already on my TBR list.
Michelle
He had the best powers of all the aliens on that show anyway
