He’s usually the one I’m writing about at the moment, but my all-time favorite ghero will be my first one, Quinn. He’s the hero of Target, a book due out later this year from The Wild Rose Press. He started life four years ago and the books has amde a complicated journey to finally emerge as something I’m proud of.
     Quinn is a dark knight, a mysterious shadow with a tragic past who ahs shut himself off from the world. He chooses isolation over the possiblity of more pain, until he meets Kate – feisty, sassy, and in more trouble than he’s seen in a long time. From the moment he rescures ehr from the side of the highway, the connection between them is so strong and elemental his self-imposed walls begin to fall away.
     Quinn is strong, forceful, yet can be gentle when he needs to. With his black hair and obsidian dark eyes, the slight shadow along his jawline and the black jeans and t-shirt that are almost a uniform for him, he embodies the work mysterious. Kate, who is living on the edge of nerves as she flees from unknown killers, finds herself trusting him for no reasonexcept that connection that zaps them oiut of nowhere.
     Watch for Kate and Quinn’s story later this year.
     What makes a hero for you? what kind of man do you like to read about? Write about? What’s your favorite color for eyes? Hair? Come on, give me your thoughts.
     And remember. All posters will be in the drawing at the end of the day for a download of either a Judith rochelle or Desiree Holt book.
The mysterious guy does it for me, too, especially if he has a weakness for the underdog. Maybe he keeps his soft side secret, but it sneaks out when he thinks nobody’s looking. And a sense of humor. I love heros who don’t take themselves too seriously.
mmm, Quinn sounds like the kind of hero I like to read and write, too. I always want a strong hero (someone my strong heroines would deserve) but someone with a flaw or a wound, somthing they haven’t resolved and usually something that makes them hide their feelings, at least in the beginning – adds to the mystery.
Amanda
Alpha hero. Long hair, bad boy, blue eyes, and very protective of the heroine. Tattoo, has to have a tattoo.
Quinn sounds like my kind of man as well. I love a man who is strong willed and bodied. I am hot for ex-military, ex or current cops, and the true heroes of our world. A man who’d risk life and limb for a heroine, who’d in the end, risk everything for love. Of course, mysterious and wounded souls only add to the excitement. Is he going to walk away, is he going to let her in? Off course, but the best part is getting there!
My favorite kind of hero is a one who has a sense of humor, is protective, may seem a bit gruff if you don’t know him but has a kind and loving core. Hair and eye color have no real sway with me, it is the personality that makes me fall in love.
Hmm. I don’t have a certain type. I like ALL types of heros. What can I say? I’m easy to please. In terms of looks, I’ve always created my heros to have dark hair. I’m writing my first blond hero now, and boy is he causing me trouble! Every other dark headed man I’ve written has just jumped on the page-but not this blond boy.
Quinn sounds great… Even like the name as I knew a very strong male named Quinn once. I like a hero with a lot of vulnerability and make sure all my heroes have more than their share, which of course the heroine has to work at finding. I try to change what I”m writing but they all seem to end up from more or less the same framework….strong, strong, but with lovely soft center reserved just for my current heroine…
Ladies, I am sooo with you. And Amy, I am always torn between the darkness of black for the eyes or the brilliance of blue, especially since blue can change to so many shade depending on what the hero is feeling. My problem is I fall in love with every hero at some time or other. Sigh!
I want — all the guys you all just mentioned!
I love bad boys that have a deep moral code. The strong and quite type. You can feel the power but he doesn’t have to prove it. It’s a sense that he’s been there, done that, the t-shirt didn’t survive.
Love dark, dark eyes. Mocha or a smokey gray tinged with black. Hair color is less important as long as its silky soft. Muscular but not muscle bound. 6 foot to 6-2. Broad shoulders that V down to narrower hips. Smooth chest with rippled abs. Add in a little dimple just because!
I also like all the guys you mentioned. The eye color doesn’t matter.
I like all heroes!
