My qualifications for heroes to be added to my list are:
- They show unforgettable traits such as bravery, love, selflessness, devotion to the heroine
- Some of them are just truly good, wonderful men
- They have had a journey that affected me deeply, such as going from a troubled past to become an honorable person
- They are flawed, scarred, but also able to show love and do have a sense of what is the right thing to do
- They show passionate, intense love and emotions towards the heroine that is distinguished from their interactions with other women
- There is something so sexy and so seductive about them that I would probably throw myself at them if they were real men :)
- They are strong and formidable in a fight.
- They may be a bad boy, rake, or rogue, but there is a core of goodness that makes them irresistible to me
- I could not get them off my mind long after I finished reading the book
- I want to reread their books just to experience more of them
- They have some ability that they are exemplary at
