Welcome to what used to be called just Dom’s Dungeon in our BURNING UP JULY month!  Since last year we’ve added a few extra categories in looking for the hottest heroes of the year, and this year we’ve asked some of our favorite bloggers to come and tell us why they think the hero they like should win.

So we are starting off with the Ultimate Book Boyfriend, because really, it doesn’t get much better than these three heroes.  For the next three days you will meet the nominees and you will be able to cast your votes starting on the third day.  Voting will run until the end of the month.  And because we are nice like that, check out the end of this post to see the giveaway we are running month long during the competition.

Dex Foray

A very good friend of mine asked me to be a part of the Book Boyfriend over at UTC (Under The Covers) and although I haven’t posted anything in a while, I dropped what I was doing to be a part of this post.

For two reasons:

(1.)  The request came from Francesca, who I love and adore with all of my pervy heart.

(2.)   She asked me to focus my post on Dex Foray, the sexy wanna-be ghost hunter and camera man from Karina Halle’s Experiment In Terror series.

So, I get to spend a few minutes telling you why you should vote for Dex and why he is the BEST Book Boyfriend-EVER.

First off, Dex is sexy-as-hell. However, he is not your typical alpha hero:  He’s average height, stocky, tatted, wears a newspaper boy cap, and has scruffy-scruff on his face.  He has secrets, comes across as vulnerable at times, but the attraction he has for Perry is freaking off the charts. Their verbal sparring is like foreplay. He is the total package for me.

Why?

Reason #1

He is the master dirty talker who can make me squirm in my chair and wish my hubby was home.

“Can’t love me without loving cock.”

“I am going to maul the fuck out of you.”

“I thought everyone should care that I fucked Perry last night and fucked her good. Perhaps I needed to get an airplane to write that in the sky.

“You should never underestimate my penis again.”

Reason #2

Even though he has a very filthy mouth and definitely knows how to use it (figuratively and literally), he can be soft and romantic at just the right moment.

“You’re my home, Perry. And I will be yours.”

Reason #3

He is snarky, funny as hell, and his pervy sense of humor has forever branded Dex Foray in my heart and soul.

“It was colder than a nun’s vagina outside”.

“But I was Dex Foray and dramatic was middle name, along with The  Fuckmaster, and Pierre.”

“If I haven’t made her want cock at this point, you know she’s muff for life.”

 

The journey of Perry and Dex has been an emotional roller coaster ride that had me shuddering in fear, laughing my ass off, and so turned on until a good, brisk breeze could make me come.  So go vote for Dex Foray as the Best Book Boyfriend—a well-deserved honor for the The Fuckmaster himself.

Thank you so much for recommending this series to me, Francesca—I am eternally grateful and forever in your debt.

Meet Your Next Book Boyfriend – Dex

What UTC is saying about Dex:

Well, considering we started a Support Group (back in November) for addicts…I would say we are completely in love and have serious Dex Foray worshipping issues.  Check out Support Group posts here:

And yes, this made our Best of 2013 lists as well: Suzanne/Angela | Francesca/Annie

Best New to Me – Suzanne

“For a while this series completely took over my life, I couldn’t function properly without knowing what would happen next, I can’t believe I hadn’t read them before now. So beware when you start the Experiment in Terror series by Karina Halle that you have lots of free time, a supply of tissues and at some points either your real boyfriend to hand or the battery operated version!”

Favorite Hero – Suzanne

“Another guy who has caught my eye this year is Dex from the Experiment in Terror series by Karina Halle, there was a few reasons I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the books and he was one of the them. He is charismatic and slightly crazy, however, he is fascinating to read about not to mention damn sexy. ”

Author of the Year – Suzanne

“Karina Halle is my AOY, her Experiment in Terror books exploded into my life and I haven’t been able to shake them since!”

Favorite Couple – Francesca

“Are you surprised?  Hands down my favorite couple.  Because I’m addicted.  Because I can’t wait to see what happens in their fucked up lives.  And I can’t wait to see them happily ever after.  Although I wouldn’t mind dragging that along a bit more so I can get more Dex & Perry sexy time!  (We need more books!)”

Author of the Year – Francesca

“Yeah ‘cuz I devoured and loved almost everything she ever wrote this year!  And loved every second of it!”

Dex makes Suzanne and Francesca’s list of Top Ten Ultimate Book Boyfriends of 2013

The dramatic conclusion to the Experiment in Terror Series.

Perry Palomino and Dex Foray.

On their own, they’re uniquely brilliant. Together, they’re an unstoppable team.

Until now.

Because after everything the duo has encountered, they haven’t come across an evil quite like this. An evil that has been years in the making, an evil that will stop at nothing until they, and everyone they care for, are destroyed.

Dex and Perry’s love has survived a multitude of sins.

But can it survive the end?

The last installment in the EIT series is coming July 29, 2014.  Are You Ready?

About Karina Halle

The daugh­ter of a Nor­we­gian Viking and a Finnish Moomin, Karina Halle grew up in Van­cou­ver, Canada with trolls and eter­nal dark­ness on the brain. This soon turned into a love of all things that go bump in the night and a rather sadis­tic appre­ci­a­tion for freak­ing peo­ple out. Like many of the flawed char­ac­ters she writes, Karina never knew where to find her­self and has dab­bled in act­ing, make-up artistry, film pro­duc­tion, screen­writ­ing, pho­tog­ra­phy, travel writ­ing and music jour­nal­ism. She even­tu­ally found her­self in the pages of the very nov­els she wrote (if only she had looked there to begin with).

Karina holds a screen­writ­ing degree from Van­cou­ver Film School and a Bach­e­lor of Jour­nal­ism from TRU. Her travel writ­ing, music reviews/interviews and pho­tog­ra­phy has appeared in pub­li­ca­tions such as Con­se­quence of Sound, Mxdwn and GoNo­mad Travel Guides. She cur­rently splits her time between her apart­ment in down­town Van­cou­ver and her sail­boat, where a book and a bot­tle of wine are always at hand.
