Romance is all about the Hunky Hero…
Nothing frustrates me more, as a romance reader, than to pick up a book where the hero is a whiney wimp. Give those heroes some morals and admirable qualities and I will stick with the book all the way to the end. But I’ve put down more than one book because I didn’t like the hero.
The heroes in your romance books need to be people others can look up to. That is, after all, the definition of a hero.

1. |
a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. |
2. |
a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he saved the drowning child. |
My Hunky Hero crawled out of bed this morning 30 minutes before his normal time so that he could run to the store and buy me some Sprite before waking up the kids. He then got all 4 kids up, breakfasted, and out the door on time. PLUS he did a load of dishes. All while leaving the bedroom door shut so that I wouldn’t be disturbed.
Make your heroes like that and you will have readers swooning over your books! I know I am.
Thanks, Honey! Love you!
