And I like the idea of hanging on to my hero until I'm ready to hand him over to the heroine - at which point, I'm then in the heroine's shoes and fall willingly into his arms - and his bed :-)Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-75387967347412639462010-12-07T12:56:37.022-08:002010-12-07T12:56:37.022-08:00Hi,

I think the latter might stem from the fact as an impressionable young reader I had a penchant for bad guys - like I fell in love with Carver Doone (Lorna Doone) when female readers were supposed to fall for the icky perfect hero, Jan Ridd (think that was his name - see how I did not fancy him one bit), while Carver was the evil anti-hero and utterly desirable!<br /><br />Paula: Don't we live in the fictional world we create? I know I do, hee hee, that's what makes it worthwhile: tormenting heroes, and preventing the heroine's from getting their claws into said hero until I've played with his senses and desires and ready to hand him on! ;)<br /><br />Ana: yes, love the pulling apart bit - again hero made to suffer and heroine unsure of her fate all things hero until she finds his weak spot and tweeks it! ;)<br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-31089643433875309382010-12-07T06:14:30.991-08:002010-12-07T06:14:30.991-08:00Romantic fiction can be described as delivering an...Romantic fiction can be described as delivering an escape for the reader. What I find more intriguing is seeing how a heroine changes in the process of dealing with a flawed hero or the evil villian. Fictional life can push strangers together and pull them apart. I think romance can be empowering, as well as entertaining.Ana Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325215832587691886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-32315944473863478212010-12-07T03:27:38.886-08:002010-12-07T03:27:38.886-08:00Exactly right - the hero is the guy fom an ideal w...Exactly right - the hero is the guy fom an ideal world, not necessarily perfect (otherwise he'd be boring) but the guy we would fall in love with, IF we lived in that ideal world.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.com
