Shelbie, That reminds me of the Bruce Willis character in RED when Helen Mirren says, "Oh Francis, you're such a romantic. On the outside you're hard but on the inside your gooey." L Lam, so like a woman who knows what she likes! :) LaRonda, so agree. There is something wonderful about a man who has solid morals. One reason, I so love Levi in Plain Fear: Forsaken. Jeanne, thanks so much!
Hi, Susan! Thanks so much. Agree. The hero, good or bad, must treat a woman right! Ah, Raeline, me too! Thanks, Amy! Hope you like the ending! Pamela, Oh I love Linda Castillo's series! She's a wonderful writer and a fabulous person!
Sharon, Way to go on raising good boys! I'm working on raising one. I think he just came good. Such a blessing and privilege! Sandy, hope you enjoy! Maria, they are not hot and steamy but they're not exactly sweet and innocent either. Definitely not the typical bonnet book. ;)
Cindi, Congrats on the upcoming wedding for your son and raising good guys! The world needs more of those! I'm a bit like you too in that I use to choose bad boys but married a good guy. Makes a world of difference, doesn't it? So often fiction is better as fiction and not real life. ;)
Bonnie, thanks! And I understand. It's all about the story, isn't it? ;)
Sandy, you're so right! Choices really reveal who a character is! Peggy, what a thoughtful comment! Thanks for taking the time to write all of that! I think those bad boys tend to make selfish decisions when we first meet them. And that may be why they make you feel bad. I think of Sawyer, in LOST. Oh boy I miss that show. And Sawyer was such a great character. He really made so many selfish decisions at the beginning, but he had a great character arc throughout the seasons, coming into his own and becoming a hero toward the end. He's one of those bad boys, although made to be a better man through the love of Juliet, will always have a bit of a edge to him. Love the conversation! Thanks y'all!
Thanks, Val and Denise! Val, I agree! Love it when a hero keeps his edginess but can also have a softer side (seen occasionally by the woman he loves). Aren't heroes fun?
