Roarke from JD Robb's series is the ultimate hero because I think he embodies so many hero characteristics, though I don't think he'll ever be the everyday kinda guy. Sam Starrett from Brockmann's Navy SEALs series. A tough, heroic smart-*ss, Sam fell and fell hard. It was worth the wait for his HEA. Howard from Jo Davis' "Trial by Fire" (I blogged about him a few times at my blog). He's the everyman but also a hero, and an incredible one at that. Masculine and gentle, earthy and caring, Howard is one in a million. Those are just a few examples of my favorite time of hero.

I mean, the way these heroes are written and their stories really say it all. 1. Sebastian - Lord St. Vincent in "The Devil in Winter" for sure. 100% there- he's the ultimate playboy rogue and I love love love how Evie puts him through his paces. (Lisa Kleypas) 2. Derek Craven - he fights so hard, and is so "noble" trying to save Sara from him. (LK again) 3. Any of the McCloud brothers [or any of the heroes from the books in that "series" by Shannon McKenna] 4. Oh this one is tougher - I'm going to say Kenny Traveler from "Lady Be Good" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. And of course which book I want like everyone else says depends on my mood- but all of them are really great at any time ;) I can’t think this through right now, so I’m going to go with examples, and have those speak for me.

And for me it's a part of the fantasy, watching the heroine tame these men. :smile: I’m with Jane. 2 and 3 get me every time.

I like reading about dark brooding heroes and I also have a thing for heroes that are spies. I like the intrigue. I have a hard time choosing between 2 and 3.

Without more information, I tend to either favor the everyman or the dangerous one--because I'm a fan of "the guy next door" and also of bad boys ;) Oh, what Lois said–it really depends… depending on my mood and how the writer handles the story and what kind of story it is, I can find any of those either really appealing or not so much.

And this answer is a nice diplomatic one too, for the fact that I just love and want them all! :) Lois Well, any of the above, all of the above, none of the above. . . because it all depends on the story. :) It’s probably safe to say I’ve read some of all the types, but if I were to go through all the books I’ve read, I can probably find ones that I loved for each of the four, and ones I didn’t for all of them. . .
