What makes a hero UNFORGETTABLE?
I’d first like to thank Romance Reads and Such for allowing me to visit with them. I’m super excited to meet fellow book lovers from this site and I hope you’ll enjoy my post pertaining to romance. If you like strong, sexy, irresistible, and yes, you guessed it—UNFORGETTABLE HEROES—then you’ve come to the right place today.
So, what makes a hero unforgettable? I’ve come up with five vital traits an unforgettable hero must have. See if you agree with me:
• An UNFORGETTABLE HERO must be an Alpha Male. We all love a man who’s a leader, plays a significant role in our lives, and is never afraid to take chances. He must be assertive, yet able to yield when situations call for a compromise. He needs to be dominant, yet sensitive to our needs. And he must be courageous while always doing what’s morally right.
• An UNFORGETTABLE HERO must be a great lover. Let’s face it, who wants a man who doesn’t know how to knock our socks off with a first kiss, or shake the ground beneath us with his skilled love-making. As women, we long to have intimate encounters that are not awkward or immature. We want a competent man who knows what he’s doing in the bedroom, is very eager to please, and is more interested in our satisfaction than his own. Which brings me to my next necessary trait…
• An UNFORGETTABLE HERO must be selfless. He needs to be able to recognize that not everyone is as physically strong, emotionally stable, or as generally fortunate as he is. He must be willing to give of himself. To sacrifice his time, talent, and/or his own pursuit of happiness for the benefit of others.
• An UNFORGETTABLE HERO must be able to admit when he’s wrong. Traditionally, an Alpha Male believes what he does is always right, else he wouldn’t have made that choice to begin with. But given he is only human, he is also prone to mistakes like everyone else. He needs to be able to concede that sometimes he’s not above making a wrong decision. On the flip side, he must also be able to forgive those who’ve done wrong and help them on the path of righteousness.
• And most importantly, an UNFORGETTABLE HERO must love with all his heart. Now that doesn’t mean initially he can’t fight or resist love. Sometimes, that’s what makes the hero interesting. Perhaps he resists because he doesn’t feel his lifestyle can accommodate the presence of a female and her needs. Maybe he and the heroine come from different worlds and have nothing in common. Or simply put, maybe his heart has been broken so many times before, that the thought of falling in love again might damn near kill him. No matter what his excuse is for opposing intimacy and commitment, in the end he can’t help but love her with every breath he takes.

Author Bio:
I’m an author, a dreamer, a horse owner, and a medieval history buff. I’m a fun-loving, mildly eccentric, free-spirited kind of girl with a passion for books. From an early age, I’ve always had scenes playing out in my head. Whether it was a story with a moral or a tale with a twist, those ideas have never let me sleep until I wrote them out. And considering I have an eclectic ensemble of stories swarming in my brain at any given time, I write under a couple pen names to accommodate the various genre categories.
Renee Vincent (Historical & Contemporary Adult Romance) – From the daunting, charismatic Vikings, to the charming, brazen Alpha male heroes of modern day, you’ll be whisked away to a world filled with fast-paced adventure, unforgettable romance, and undying love.
Also writing as Gracie Lee Rose (Lighthearted, Fancy-free Women’s Fiction/Chick Lit) – For those who love to read fun, wholesome, and endearing romantic stories (with a smidgen of spunk) that your mother, sisters, friends, and daughters can enjoy.
