Phin Tucker and Shane probably being my favorites.<br /><br />Kit Whitelaw from Julie Anne Long's "Beauty and the Spy."<br /><br />Robert (or "Bit") from Suzanne Enoch's "England's Perfect Hero."<br /><br />From Kleypas's Wallflower books... I know everyone loves Sebastian St. Vincent, and he's VERY fun to read about, but I've always had a soft spot for Simon Hunt.Kate Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987438202240646062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-63299475036900947972010-08-18T22:54:17.392-04:002010-08-18T22:54:17.392-04:00Thanx for dropping by, Laurie!

no ...Hi, Aunty,<br /> <br />Firstly, I must say that there is<br />no such thing as a short list for <br />me! Every book that I read, the H<br />& H find a little spot in my heart. So all the Bandita heroes are right there in their places, add on the Cindy Gerard Bodyguards & Suzanne Brockmann's Seals, also Izzy, let's not forget him! And from the book I finished last night, please add to the list Bo Crutcher from Susan Wiggs' book,<br />Fireside. (I believe this book won<br />a RITA for Susan in 2009.)<br /><br />Pat CochranPat Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997396930842831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-33585621406943509472010-08-18T15:38:20.123-04:002010-08-18T15:38:20.123-04:00Gannon and AC, I loved all the heroes of the sign ...Gannon and AC, I loved all the heroes of the sign of 7. Cal is great, strong and steady. Fox is quirky but stubborn. Both of them are dedicated to their town. Then there's Gage, the renegade, the bad boy who escaped but comes back every 7 years to face the evil when it rises.<br /><br />The heroines are pretty great, too. There's Quinn, the writer, organized and curious. Layla, intuitive and braver than she knows. Cybil, smart and independent.<br /><br />And there's a telepathy/second sight thread, along with ancient evil and big stakes.<br /><br />I really loved those books, and I learned a lot from them about series arc and structure as well.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-82378052723072206402010-08-18T14:20:55.003-04:002010-08-18T14:20:55.003-04:00Gannon and Nancy,

AC, I can't pick fr...Jane, congrats on the GR!<br /><br />AC, I can't pick from among the bandita authors' heroes. So I'm declaring all of them ineligible for my list, just to simplify my life.<br /><br />With that in mind, here's my list, arbitrary, random and in happenstance order since any of these guys could move up any time and there are lots, lots more I could put on the list.<br /><br />I agree totally on Roarke. Seriously, what's not to adore?<br /><br />Stepping outside the romance genre, it's hard to beat Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Chief of the Dunedain Rangers and future King of the West (I prefer the ranger incarnation to the regal one).<br /><br />Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, hero of C.S. Harris' mysteries, is a man of action, depth, and torment, a soldier and a detective. And chivalrous to the bone.<br /><br />Acheron Parthenopaeus from the Dark Hunters. Really, do I need to say more?<br /><br />Gage Turner from Nora Roberts' The Pagan Stone (Book 3 in the Sign of 7 trilogy). Gage is a professional gambler and guarded lover, survivor of an abusive alcoholic parent, and a loyal friend. Once he gives his heart he gives it completely, and he's willing to die to end a curse that has threatened his town since he and his friends unwittingly unleashed it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-77834154055907800192010-08-18T13:59:23.577-04:002010-08-18T13:59:23.577-04:00ROFLOL Catslady!
