I like my heroines to be clever and capable but not necessarily complicated and perfectly ok without a man (until the hero comes along of course :))

I like it too, Suzanne. In fact, I try to give the hero quite a bit of POV time. It’s especially good if he’s doing something that seems unsympathetic – as you say, it gives the reader an insight into why he’s acting like a complete idiot!

He sounds just horrid. I don’t think anyone would get away with a hero like that these days.

I quite like the trend for writing from the hero’s pov – so even he seems like a baddie, we know he’s secretly got a redeeming side.

I think you have to have a strong heroine or else the conflict is no fun…
I like the hero meeting his match 🙂

I'm with you, Jan. I like strong and complicated for both my hero and heroine. Sadly, I'm not sure how complicated you can be with category romance.

A kids page would be great! My daughter loves words. Anything to get her writing.

I like my female characters to be complicated. Strong and intuitive works too.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I think eventually I'll get a kids page linked on, so any feedback will be greatly appreciated! Hope to talk to you again soon!
