Really?!"<br /><br />I can't remember the last time I had such a strong, intense dislike for a second character. Usually I'm the opposite. I have a strong reaction to them in a positive manner. But this chick? Oh man. Really. Did. Not. Like.<br /><br /><br />Nath: And he's well-done Beta too. I adore Beta heroes but when they're written poorly, you wonder how much estrogen hormone therapy they've had!<br /><br />Giynlith: I so hear you on the names and nicknames thing. How many Devil Earls, Lord Sins and Lord Lucifers do we have to be subjected to?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-59004144963967455662010-09-15T21:09:32.959-07:002010-09-15T21:09:32.959-07:00The biggest turn off for me when it comes to roman...The biggest turn off for me when it comes to romance novels, especially historical romance, are "unusual" or "unique" names. They tend to be weird, strange, and/or era-inappropriate. There's a historical series out there (I forget the author) where the heroes are named things like Vanity, Scandal, Devil... really? I understand these heroes can be vain, scandalous, and devilish, but please don't beat me over the head with it.Lisa Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00905199416615889798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-64463235180806593612010-09-15T20:05:16.116-07:002010-09-15T20:05:16.116-07:00Oh, going to have to jot down this title!!

Mason?!? Mason Striker !!!11!! God I hate these trendy/stupid/"my parents secretly loathed me and wished I'd never been born and thus gave me this craptastic name as a mark of their eternal disdain" kind of hero names). <br /><br />I had to laugh at the bludgeon until you see grey matter bit. I don't feel that too often but a couple of years ago I read Katie MacAlister's 'Hard Day's Knight' and found myself wanting to rack, throttle, draw and quarter the heroine's cousin. Rarely have I hated a seemingly benign character so much. But at least the cousin didn't really get in the way of the sexy scenes! String the sister up, I say!Marie Thérèsenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-88635914988661256382010-09-15T15:09:41.881-07:002010-09-15T15:09:41.881-07:00Victoria: It was really an enjoyable one.
