I love the world you've built for your characters.<br />I like the conflicted hero, the one who has his own - usually bad - agenda before meeting the heroine. He has to either choose between the two or the heroine has to help with the resolution. Can't go wrong with a man who puts the woman he loves above all else.Meredith Allen Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611233008268202311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-73594877643418624762011-09-21T00:27:37.522-04:002011-09-21T00:27:37.522-04:00I love simple, human flaws.

The more incredulous, the better, humanizing the supernatural and giving the reader something to relate or identify with. Love the family concept.

I've already read Fated, so don't count me in today's contest.<br /><br />A favorite hero flaw is that over protectiveness streak that a heroine has to wear away at. To prove that she can hold her own, and stand beside her man and fight when necessary. That always brings out the feistiness and fun dialogue.<br /><br />caity_mack at yahoo dot comCathy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755004700955618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-38182822536614453022011-09-20T15:00:11.610-04:002011-09-20T15:00:11.610-04:00I gotta say, I LOVE flaws.
