Rach, that sounds very intriguing!

Saying that I like him to have a sweet side somewhere – ie, he loves his mum (but not a mummy’s boy) or gives his little sister a kitten (okay, I’m tired).

I love my playboy magician hero! Would love to rewrite that and submit it somewhere. He was one of those heroes (and story) that fell between the lines – not alpha enough but way too sexy for romance!

Yes, loving your hero is important. I do love my Modern Heat heroes – particularly the one in the ms I’m polishing up now. And that’s because he’s got aspects of my archetypal bad boy in there. Mmmm, I’m thinking we should definitely suggest a new category…

Flouncing and huffing? I’ve been doing a lot of that myself lately, though my current heroine is not a flouncer. She’s a toe-tapper and an eye-roller. 🙂

Am totally hooked on my current hero. But I think that’s kind of OK. I mean, if you aren’t, how is anyone else going to be? What d’you reckon?

Rather worringly, I once found myself behaving like the heroine of my last attempt. OK, so it was after a couple of glasses of sherry, but I started flouncing and huffing all over the place (and I never flounce and huff). Poor husband didn’t know what on earth was going on…

🙂

But sadly unsuited to category romance. Unless they there was a “bad boy contemporary romance” category – ooooh, I’d be a subscriber for sure!
