Rita's blog inspired me to blog about my Bad Boys. For those of you who have read Gabriel's Horn and Gabriel's Gun you know what I mean by bad. The kind of man who takes prisoners and keeps them right where he wants them. lol
Ahhhh...it's not that bad. I do have works coming soon that are more traditional romance and can't wait for all of you to read them. Yes, I admit I love happily ever after. All the lose ends tied up in a neat little bow.
But, even in those happily ever after stories my boys start out bad. There is not a nice guy in the bunch until I tame him. Notice I said "I". Well hell yeah. I bet most authors envision themselves as the hero or heroine. How else can we get into their skins and give you their thoughts?
And I must admit that those bad boys are a carry over from my personal life too. I've always been attracted to a bit of danger. Aren't we all? I don't like playing it safe with men. Give me those men who have the devil dancing in their eyes!
And I bet a whole lot of you married that Bad Boy too!
Another thing I'll admit to is that I don't necessarily need a man to be all that buffed and beautiful. I'm a sucker for a man who makes me laugh every time. So if the devil dances in his eyes and he makes me laugh. Jeez Looeeeeze. DIP ME IN CHOCOLATE AND ROLL ME IN NUTS!
Personality over biceps any day. How about you?

I have to admit that I like bad boys--in books. In books I want to tame them! :)
In real life they kinda get on my nerves, actually!
And amen to "personality over biceps."
who doesn't like bad boys....there is something about them that appeals to all the ladies....
I guess each person has their own vision of what a bad boy is....
Great blog Tess...
HeHe...glad I inspired you, Tess! Oh I love the bad boys but they must come with a sense of humor and fun or I'm DONE with em. Like I said, a cocky grin and some wicked-sexy moves gets me going. In real life, my hero doesn't have to be a drop dead sexy hunk. Mine has prematurely silver hair and it's beautiful.
Personality or biceps??? Can't I have both??? Hell yeah, I can. Been married to him for almost 15 years.
Although, in all honesty, he's not that "bad." I always loved a bad boy when I was running wild, but I settled down with a brawny, funny, nice guy. :)
I do love to read about those bad ones, though. Keep writing 'em Tess, and I'll keep reading them!

I like em bad too! My hubby probably would have been considered a bad boy in his younger days. He grew out of it. But personality over buffness any day. One reason I married him is the fact that we laugh all the time. He's so funny and he's bald on top. Who cares about the other?
Oh now, I so agree bad boys just make you want to cream;)
I want the total package personality and bicepts.
Great blog Tess.
I'm with you, I love bad boys in a story. They bring a little danger and excitement,keeping the reader coming back for more.

Give me a bad boy anytime. Hellfire in his eyes and smile. Oh yeah.
Mines grown out of it some what. That's what having kids does for you. :) Great Blog Tess
