My girl Keira is in the middle of some ocean on a big boat getting her freak on. Since she can’t post on this special day of all days, she has asked me, your favorite demon sheep, to guest post. And because it’s Valentine’s Day, and one of the most romantic days of the year, I give you my list of my top 5 favorite romance heroes of all time.
I’ve acted out a few scenes from some well known books, but with a twist.
1. Roarke from JD Robb’s In Death Series:
Eve: Mho Roarke, why do you have my button from that ugly ass suit I wore in Naked in Death?
Mho Roarke: I carry this button in my pocket so I can have a piece of you wherever I go!
Eve: That is strangely romantic and a somewhat disturbing, but I can dig that. Why are we in a bathtub?
Mho Roarke: Because we always end up having hot shower sex in every single In Death book.
Eve: Hot! Want to tell me who my candy thief is?
Mho Roarke: Sorry, not me darling, but I do have a nice big and tasty Snickers bar you can enjoy while I make sure the shower is set to boiling and just the way you like it.
2. This takes us to Derek Craven from Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas who also keeps something special close to his heart that his heroine owns:
Sara: Oh my! Why you have my missing glasses. Can I have them back?
Mho Derek: ‘ell no lovely. These are mine! I am not ‘orthy of your love and the only thing I have to keep me warm at night (and no I didn’t boink that whore) are these glasses of yours.
Sara: Mho Derek, take me I am yours! Ravish me in the garden, your bath, on the card table! *swoon*
Mho Derek: You better believe it. And if you ever think of cutting your hair, I will tie you to the bed and continue to have more wicked sex with you because I am so wicked and not ‘orthy of your love!
3. Rain Tairen Soul from C.L. Wilson’s Lord of the Fading Lands Tairen Souls series:
Mho Rain: Ellie you are my mate, my soul! I won’t take no for an answer, much like those psycho vampire heroes of Christine Feehan. Come be my bride and we can make little cat babies.
Ellie: Why Rain you scare me so, but you are so handsome and brooding. Can I ride on your back?
Mho Rain: *rowl* you can ride me and more.
4. Vishous from Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward:
Butch: Yo V dude that was the best time I ever had in bed. You’ve made me see the light and with the day glow hand of yours and the way you wear leather so well, I want to engage in more the butt butt love with you.
Mho V: Word my bitch… er my Butch. But every so often I have to go off with Casper… er Doc Jane because she’s my mate and all. But if you want, she can join in.
Butch: Sweet!
Jane: *poofs* YAY. Bend over boys!
5. And finally my all time favorite hero ever! Jacob Black from Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series:
Bella: Oh Mho Jacob I love you like a friend, even with your rock had abs and adorable smile and the way you wear those short jeans shorts that makes me bite my lip and worry way too much.
Mho Jacob: *sticks out 8 pack abs* Leave sparkle boy for me!
Bella: I can’t, because he sparkles and you don’t.
Mho Jacob: *transforms into wolf* Yes I do, see I am a sparkling wolf!
Bella: Um, you are a pony with pink hair.
Mho Jacob: *grumble* kicks Edward and stomps away
And there you have it! Hope you have enjoyed my acting skill. If you had to pick your top 5 literary heroes of all time, who would you choose?

Boy Type: Aloof Artist
Edward Cullen is the gorgeous aloof boy who sits with a select group of people at lunch. He keeps to himself and has a fantastic brooding expression that simply makes the girls drool. He's into music: listening to it, playing it, and creating it. On top of all that he's a vampire and that gives him the bad boy edge. Can we say swoon?
- Jacob Black
Boy Type: Mr. Fix-It
Jacob Black is the ultimate handyman. The place you're likely to find him is the family garage as he loves cars and spends all his time, efforts, and money fixing them up. In fact, Bella's truck is just one of his pet projects. Jacob is good at fixing more than just cars-- he can fix problems and people too. Must be his warm and fuzzy nature. His friendship with Bella is what brings her out of the dark in New Moon.
Boy Type: Guy Next Door
Mike Newton is the boy next door. His life is pretty easy. He has good friends, a good family, a good entry level job, and good looks. He can be pretty bright too and make smart observations. He wishes Bella would give him the time of day. He's persistent to a point and yields defeat when it's apparent things won't be changing.
Boy Type: Sweet Nerd
Eric Yorkie is on the school newspaper, part of the yearbook staff, and on prom committee. He's active and smartly dressed, a little dorky, but that's all part of his charm. He's not used to asking girls out and misses his chance more than once. Perhaps all he needs is a little nerd girl loving!
Boy Type: Popular Jock
Tyler Crowley is the popular jock. He's definitely into something athletic like basketball or football. Like Mike Newton, it's not hard for him to find a date, unless it's expecting that date to be Bella. Tyler is a flirt and very outgoing. If it isn't his muscles flashing, it's his shiny car as it comes toward you.

This post is in response to a little nugget that I read in Heather’s article at the Galaxy Express entitled Does Science Fiction Romance Need More Alpha Heroes? The specific section that caught my eye was this:
In response to the My Paranormal Malaise post at Dear Author, Lisa Paitz Spindler asked:
"Why is it the paranormal character is so often the hero and not the heroine?"
Yeah, what's up with that?
I can tell you exactly what is up with that as I am a fan of paranormal romance and fiction. So here it goes… six reasons why the paranormal character is always the hero!
- We like our heroes mysterious. What is more mysterious than a mythological creature, be he vampire or lycanthrope or other?
- Strong powerful hero + average heroine = swoon. When an extraordinary specimen of the male gender sits up and takes notice of a rather ordinary female it is easier to place ourselves in the heroine’s shoes. That’s not because we think of ourselves as unworthy, this formula just makes it more accessible for readers. This scenario also tends to fill the tenderness and protectiveness side of the fantasy.
- Strong powerful hero + kickass heroine = hell yeah. When number two’s formula just doesn’t cut it there are the novels about strong heroes and stronger heroines. In this scenario the reader and heroine tend to dominate over the situation. The hero must work around the heroine to get in her good graces and who hasn’t imagine upon at least one occasion a strong sexy male groveling at your feet?
- Angel, Spike, Jean-Claude, Asher, Edward Cullen, Jasper Cullen, Eric Northman, and Bill Compton. Do I really need to go on with this point? I think this pretty much brings it home. Otherworldly men are downright sexy! Especially vampires!
- The desires of the paranormal fit better on a hero. The act of drinking blood is considered highly sexual in vampire romances. It’s become part of the erotic fantasy. Sometimes the heroine likes to pretend to be helpless and the hero’s act of feeding gives her a thrilling rush. Besides, I think I pretty much covered how icky it can be to read a heroine drinking blood.
- Redemption always looks better on a man. Many paranormal stories involve the preternatural lead repenting his past acts dictated by his nature, circumstances, and misinformed beliefs due to change. This makes him now a brooding hero and occasionally puts the heroine in the middle of the path toward his salvation or as his savior.
So there you go—six reasons paranormal stories always feature preternatural heroes.

There are few books that I can’t finish reading. The Anonymous Miss Addams is one that list. Some books make you question how publishing companies work and this is one of them. In two words I can sum up the whole of the book: utter drivel. I have no idea how it got published or why somebody didn’t put a halt to production once the cover was done. The cover to this novel is by far the best thing about the book.
Pierre Standish is a male lead that you’d sooner laugh at then swoon at. Pierre is a fop, pure and simple. He carries a hanky and it’s scented. His diction is by far the worst aspect of his character. He talks like a pansy and acts like one in my opinion. Pierre is definitely a turn off.
Miss Addams is annoying for no other purpose than to be annoying. She lost her memory after taking a spill in the road. Lucky for her she managed to escape into the road when she did or she’d have been killed by her pursuer. Money is involved of course, but the exact reasons why killing her will make the two plotters rich is beyond me. I could not be bothered to find out.
Their first kiss was short and dispassionate with slightly witty dialog bracketing it. She can’t eat unless he’s not perfect and looks human and he can’t eat until he feels human. The plot should have picked up since this is about halfway through the book, but it didn’t. It tried and failed with the mother of her attacker (one of the two plotters) protects her in a shoe store from a man hell bent on kissing her (who is the same man who tried to kill her earlier.)
That ‘kind’ act is rewarded with an offer for the position of companion as Miss Addams thinks to use this woman to protect her from Pierre. But since Pierre is so unmanly in my opinion it’s hardly worth the effort to write it out let alone read.
