I haven't read a heroine in a book in a while that I wished ill on.<br />But a film I watched recently, the wife was so annoying and whiny and childish. And...well...when she got it by a car in the end, all I could think of was thanking the driver. See? I told you it was awful. Sigh. She was THAT annoying.C.

Also, the author has the nastiest most cruel heroes I have ever encountered. So bring the two together and you get a truly painful experience.Jen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-37412325286927520842011-04-06T16:09:02.671-04:002011-04-06T16:09:02.671-04:00I find as I get older I am very impatient with her...I find as I get older I am very impatient with heroines who are much younger than I am. I'm impatient with the "problems" so many of them have that aren't problems but just part of life.

Women. It's okay for your hero to start off a bit questionable---after all, it's a woman's job to fix him up, save him, isn't it? LOL <br /><br />But the heroine, while she can have quirks, insecurities, issues in general---she should never be TSTL.Tess MacKallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066240659271231596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-82100522806506104312011-04-06T12:57:29.697-04:002011-04-06T12:57:29.697-04:00The last I heard we are writing books for adults h...The last I heard we are writing books for adults here. So I find it strange when heroes and heroines don't exhibit grown up behavior. Yeah, I suppose we can all act childishly at times but to keep up in the vein in a book is just strange.Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-16496117515625446812011-04-06T11:18:49.061-04:002011-04-06T11:18:49.061-04:00Unfortunately, this happens to me with the majorit...Unfortunately, this happens to me with the majority of books I read.

It makes me want to lock them in a room together and not let them out until they tell each other WHY they're acting a certain way. (and yet, I keep reading to see what idiotic things they'll do until they finally DO talk to each other...so I guess it works...)Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.com
