Don't get me wrong, I usually root for the good guys but there's just something so twisted about Loki that draws me to him. He makes me want to smack him but kiss him at the same time ;)Hai-Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975587445766255671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-37296832248000292532012-08-07T10:11:54.711-04:002012-08-07T10:11:54.711-04:00Honestly, most of the time I'm a Beta Hero or ...Honestly, most of the time I'm a Beta Hero or secondary character fan.

My favorites are Jeaniene Frost's Vlad and Faith Hunter's Leo Pellissier (who's not really a hero, but definitely does anything he wants to and is very hard to read, but has come through for Jane Yellowrock time after time).Barbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-8687106312475735892012-08-01T23:33:09.708-04:002012-08-01T23:33:09.708-04:00Awesome series.

Right now I can't think of a favorite character. I do like Jacob from the Vampire Queen series by Joey W. Hill. He's an alpha male who has to submit to his vampire, Lady Lyssa. He doesn't always do as she says, he does what he wants, but it's for her protection. He also comes back with some smart remarks that I really liked.<br />luvfuzzzeeefaces at yahoo dot comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000791391430701035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-33832374903300788902012-08-01T21:01:21.448-04:002012-08-01T21:01:21.448-04:00I love heroes who are snarky and sexy...Wraith fro...I love heroes who are snarky and sexy...Wraith from Larissa Ione, Vlad from Jeanienne Frost, Bo from Shelly Laurenston...can't wait to read Damien from YOU!books4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713122819316018526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-9895825220510416542012-08-01T20:47:24.847-04:002012-08-01T20:47:24.847-04:00Yeah, love them.
