You know Danielle, I think this hits the nail on the head. Women want to fall in love; be swept off their feet and only a great hero can provide that. Damon was actually the first of the Harmon Heroes as I like to refer to them and the one thing that impressed me about you style right off the bat was you didn't just tell the reader the back story of the broken hero, you took us to his moment of breaking. Rarely do authors do that, too eager to jump into the "rescue stage" (boy meets girl who fixes it all). To really appreciate the pain, the risk, the rescue, a reader should start at the beginning, the driving force. I loved the story of Dante and now the various personalities of the de Montforte brothers. Each uniquely their own.
Hoping to get my own book out of my head someday, your insights and advice are so welcome. Thank you Danielle.
