Men in Uniform by Sara Humphreys

Who loves a man in uniform? ME!!!  I also love a band of brothers and that’s why I simply had to write The McGuire Brothers series. These five sexy bros are all men in uniform and they are as devoted to each other as they are to their jobs.  When the guys introduced themselves to me (I know that sounds weird but that’s kind of how it feels when the characters come to life in my head) one of the first things they told me about themselves was which uniform they wore.

Gavin, the hero in Brave the Heat is the oldest and the fire chief in their hometown. Ronan, the second born, is a K9 officer in New York City and a die-hard ladies man. His longest relationship, outside of his family, is with his partner, a bloodhound named Bowser. Tristan is the middle son, and admitted bad-boy. A former Navy SEAL, he is now freelancing as a gun for hire and bodyguard. The twins, Finn and Dillon, are the youngest of the bunch. Finn is an armed first responder in Miami and Dillon is an Air Force pilot but is on leave due to PTSD.

What I love most about these heroes—and all men in uniform—is their unwavering commitment, fiercely protective nature, and a clear sense of right and wrong. They are devoted to family and their mission—whatever that may be. All uniforms are sexy, except for maybe the UPS or mailman gear. If you find a hot mailman or UPS guy…please share.

To celebrate the release of my McGuire Brother series, I’m here to count down my some of my fave men in uniform from movies and television:

1.       Ryan Kwanten in True Blood: I know his character was a hapless dope and the fact that he became a Deputy was...ironic. BUT he did look great in his cop uniform. And out of it.

2.       George Clooney in ER: Scrubs are a uniform of sorts and a doctor is certainly an everyday hero.

3.       Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves: I know it’s a Civil War uniform but he still looked great. Even when he was bleeding profusely. That scene when he rides the horse into the field to try and kill himself? Love.

4.       Jimmy Smitts in NYPD Blue: Quiet confidence can be just as alluring as the guy who is outright cocky. Smitts’ drew me in with those eyes and that sidelong smile.

5.       Bradley Cooper in American Sniper: Not only an incredible performance but he filled out those fatigues nicely.

6.       Chris Kyle in real life. A true American hero. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Gavin, and all of the McGuire brothers, wear their uniforms proudly and like most men in service, they are as devoted to their families as they are to their duties. I think it’s that quality which stands out above all the rest—devotion. Isn’t that what all of us want? We want to be loved, cherished, and protected and no one does that better than a man in uniform.
