Today we welcome Mikal Dawn to share her swoony hero, Tyler Hawk with us from her debut novel, Count Me In. If you are up for an adventure (the kind where you don’t leave your couch….) then pick up a copy of this book TODAY!
Who? Tyler Richmond Hawk
Where can we find this dreamboat? Count Me In by Mikal Dawn (released May, 2017)
Personality summary: Tyler is just…fun! He was a tight end in the NFL (playing for my favorite team, the Seattle Seahawks, which puts his hero-scale off the charts in my books!) and now owns his own extreme outdoor adventure company. He’s a risk-taker through and through, pushing through a past that tried to keep him locked away in fear. His big heart wants others to experience the thrill of pushing past fear, including his new accountant, Allegra Spencer—a more fear-filled woman he’s never met. Tyler likes to push her out of her comfort zone, perhaps pushing a few of her buttons along the way….and maybe a push into his arms?
Yes he is gliding with a HAWK! Pinterest
What makes us swoon?
He loves to laugh (who doesn’t love a hero who can laugh?!)
Genuinely cares about people
Football player = muscles (sorry, but…)
Loves to banter
Flirty
Supports and encourages his friends ❤
Adventurous and daring
Seahawks (need I say more?)
Kissing level of such swooniness: Tyler is between a 2 and 3 on the kissing scale. He looooves kissing Allegra but he might be a little shy about doing it in front of readers. 😉
Basic hero type: Tyler is a solid Mr. Tilney with a good dose of Mr. Knightly. He may laugh a lot (hello twinkling eyes!) and keep things light, but don’t let that fool you. He has a charm, strength, kindness, and faithfulness.
One of my fellow authors has claimed him as her official book boyfriend. BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER.
How can I meet this swoony mister? Count Me In is available in Kindle Unlimited for free and to purchase as a Kindle or paperback on Amazon HERE.

About the Book
Allegra Spencer has been living a careful life. Her safe job as an accountant is bookended by going to church and the gym. Okay, sometimes the gym. Fine. She goes to church. And the coffee shop. She avoids risk at all cost, preferring to stay safe in her cozy condo. Until her accounting firm goes belly up and she’s out of a job.Tyler Hawk had a glorious career as a star NFL tight end. He retired on a high note and now lives a second dream of owning his own business and leading others on extreme outdoor adventures. But he needs help with his books–and his heart. When Allegra takes the job, sparks fly.
Kissing Levels & Hero Types
Thank you for having Tyler on Swoony Saturdays!! 😉 <3
Oh yes! Of course! He’s definitely swoon-worthy!
Hello Pepper! Its Angie from uk here x How do i sign up forswoony saturdays haha x
Now I want to meet Tyler more than ever! Time, why are you never on my side?! Loved reading this. ❤️
It’s such a fun story, Katie!
LOL!!!! Time is NEVER on our side, Katie! Just ask all my white hairs…pardon me. GLITTER hairs. 😉
Lol!!! Glitter hair. I love that! Next time my hubby scowls at me for loving the distinguished greys that are appearing I’ll tell them they’re his glitter hairs! BAHAHAHAHAHA! Then I’ll run for it! 😂
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Katie, you crack me UP!!!!!!! My husband is excited about the two he has growing in. Oy. LOL!
When I saw your first photo of “Tyler” I thought, “that sure looks like Jordy Nelson.” So I clicked on the Pinterest link and discovered I was right. For readers who don’t know, Jordy is a real life football player with the Green Bay Packers. He played at Kansas State (my alma mater) before that. I don’t know if he’d like portraying a Seahawk!
LOL!!!! Artistic license. 😉 Honestly, what drew me to using Jordy Nelson as inspiration is his character and deep faith. Who wouldn’t want a hero with him as inspiration?! <3 And this is a serious Seahawks fan talking. 😉
This makes me even more excited to read Count Me In! I have it sitting on my Kindle app just waiting…. hopefully I will squeeze it in on my summer TBR!
I totally understand that, Courtney!
Oh wow!! Thank you so much! I do hope you’ll enjoy it when you’re able to get to it. Tyler and Allegra were tons of fun!! <3
Tyler was so much fun but I’m still not jumping out of a plane…. hang gliding, MAYBE!
