What Makes a Movie or Book Hero Wonderful to the Point Your Toes Curl?
From my point of view, what makes a hero wonderful to the point my toes curl is a combination of looks, character and the story.
A hero has his hold on me from the start, if he's gorgeous! Yes, I'm a sucker for good looks in a movie or in a book. If I want it any other way, I'll gladly turn to reality.
For my toes to curl, my heart to warm and to sustain my interest the hero has to be true to himself, have strength of character, show consistency, be nice but have a mind of his own.
I love heroes who dish out ultimatum and follow through until they get results. Again, he must have just the right amount of arrogance mixed with subtle humility. Sounds complex? He's the ultimate package!
The hero that captures my heart is sexy and wild, loyal and kind but has an edge to him and does the unpredictable.
He's a package of attraction and connection.
Bradley James, Kevin Costner, Denzel Washington sure make me swoon.

One broken heart. Two grieving minds.
One broken heart. Two grieving minds.
To Lorna Ibe, Departmental Manager with one of London's multi-channel retailers, Valentine's Day lost its romantic flavour years ago. An unplanned holiday to New Jersey is her perfect getaway from the stress and emotional turmoil locked in her heart, just what she needs to take her mind off the fleeting holiday. That's until she runs into Logan.
Magazine publisher, Logan Blake has had his fair share of stress in the past few years. When his sister asks him to drop off old clothes to charity, he has a minor accident in front of the charity shop where Lorna volunteers. When he sets eyes on her bare midriff as she wipes the display window, he clears his busy schedule to volunteer his time. Two burdened hearts afraid to get entwined.
One Stolen Valentine Kiss. Will Valentine season bring them romance or will their fears keep them apart?

DeleteYou'll have to read STOLEN VALENTINE KISS to find out what happens. I'm delighted you popped in.
Arrogance and humility? That's a tough line for any real man to dance. I guess that's why we like fiction! I like a smart guy with a sense of humor, self-deprecating.
ReplyDeletecapefearlibn at gmail dot com
Hello Cathy, yes, a bit of arrogance makes him the hero that he is and a dash of humility softens him up, making him down-to-earth. My toes are curling *wink*
DeleteI love a hero who can laugh at himself, you are so right. Fiction is my guilty pleasure. Anything goes. The wilder the attributes, the better. Lol!
Thank you so much for your visit and for sharing your views. I really do value your contribution.
