Welcome to Hunky Alpha Wednesday with Kristi Rose and Hank Lancaster- U.S. Navy Officer.
So Hank, What is your favorite drink?
Beer. I like my hops from local companies and have favorites per region/country. When I’m in the good ol’ U.S. of A. – specifically central Florida, some of my favorites are Orlando Brewing’s Blackwater Dry Porter or Tampa’s Yuengling.
Favorite Food?
Chips and Salsa Best Date? Any date with Paisley and when she stays the night- those are the best.
Worst Date?
Ha. I was set up with this one chick that thought she was channeling Catwoman. She tried to lick me, several times.
What do you notice first in a woman?
If I said their eyes would you believe me?
What is your biggest pet peeve with women?
Not saying what they want or what they mean. Just say it. If I’m annoying you say, “Hank, you’re annoying me” or my personal favorite, “Hank, I’m horny.” Both of those are A-Okay to say.
Use three words to describe yourself.
Disciplined, motivated, and laid-back
If you could meet anyone who would it be?
I want to shake the hand of someone who has won the Medal of Honor.
What is one secret that you don’t want people to know about you?
Well, it’s a secret so if I told you that would negate the point, but I will say this- it involves a certain red head, a romantic event, and present that will make her cry or hyperventilate. Maybe both.

Book Logline: She wants one night, he wants forever.
Book Blurb:
Waking up naked next to a good looking man is not a bad way to start the day. Especially since Paisley missed all those opportunities in college, when she was too busy supporting her no good, thankfully now, ex-husband. The problem? This hottie is Hank, her best friend’s older brother, a guy she’s known her entire life. Stopping after one night is the right thing to do. Being with him clearly breaks the best friend code, and from his career as a Naval officer to his Boy Scout reputation, everything about him screams monogamy and commitment. Two things Paisley has had enough of. When Hank presents a “no strings attached” offer, it’s too good to be true. She can enjoy him while still embracing being single. But, poor choices force her to confront old fears of love and loss, and Paisley has to decide if Hank is worth the risk. The alternative is never experiencing the real deal. Or far worse, settling for less.
Excerpt:
“Wanna get together again next weekend?” he asks.
I swivel my head to look at him. “Are you serious? No, I don’t want to get together next weekend. This”—I gesture in the space between us—”cannot happen again.”
“Why not?” He grins and wags his eyebrows.
“It’s a disaster in the making.”
“What do you mean?”
“Jeez, where do I start? This whole thing is wrong. My friendship with Gigi, our friendship. It could all go up in smoke. Is it worth it?” How does he not see this?
“I’m just talking about going out together.”
“Sure, you make it sound harmless. But the last time we got together it led to sex. When I get around you, my judgment gets out of whack and I might do something stupid.” OK, perhaps I should say I might continue to do something stupid. Stupid has already come and gone.
“As I see it, if you’re gonna do something stupid, who better with than your old pal Hank? I can think of a thousand stupid things to do together.” Does he really think it’s that simple? He turns toward me, rests his hand on the top of my seat, and gives me a toothy grin.
I want to laugh or shove his shoulder because he’s being flippant but he needs to know where I’m coming from, that I was once broken.
