THAT is one of my big annoyances. That's been the downfall of many a book in my opinion~ btw, where that picture was taken...i wanna be there.<BR/><BR/>PBW... oh wow... I'm gonna grin here for a moment... my fave author came to our blog... <BR/><BR/>but seriously, can having sex save a city? <BR/><BR/>Lisa , you know there's been several books I just stopped reading because of that.Shiloh Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785046046157000126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1144382436141710012006-04-07T00:00:00.000-04:002006-04-07T00:00:00.000-04:00I can't deal with certain heroines who throughout ...I can't deal with certain heroines who throughout the novel resist sex as if it automatically induced leprosy, and go through endless denial and guilt sessions before finally agreeing to do the nasty with the hero -- of course not because he wants to or she wants to -- but because it is the <I>only</I> way to keep: 1) the city from being leveled, 2) the very gates of hell closed, or 3) the Otherwise Omnipotent Magical Being from slaughtering innocent millions. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but I think that's taking the Good Girls Don't Do It thing just a wee bit too far. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1144375282469343772006-04-06T22:01:00.000-04:002006-04-06T22:01:00.000-04:00I don't like the heroines who will "cut off their ...I don't like the heroines who will "cut off their nose to spite their face". To me, that's really tiresome and annoying. Or the too independent ones. This isn't in regards to a character but to a real person I know who accused a man, who held the door open for her, of sexual discrimination or harassment or something like that because by him being what I consider courteous, she thought he was being insulting - like she couldn't open her own door. Pul-leeze.<BR/><BR/>And I don't think this is strictly related to the heroine or more to the storyline, but I absolutely hate it when the heroine is determined to marry someone she just does not love. I don't care if it's to save the family, or because he's an appropriate choice, or because she thinks no one else will marry her, but I cannot stand it.Stacy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1144364683757949802006-04-06T19:04:00.000-04:002006-04-06T19:04:00.000-04:00I don't like heroines who argue too much or argue ...I don't like heroines who argue too much or argue about every little thing, don't learn from their mistakes and keeps landing in dangerous situations that could be avoided or has just plain faulty reasoning that I can't follow.jennyowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416053623023490504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1144345357039139042006-04-06T13:42:00.000-04:002006-04-06T13:42:00.000-04:00Great subject!

I love writing and reading about the kickass heroine but she has to be a little vulnerable as well. <BR/><BR/>What I don't like in a heroine? <BR/><BR/>The overly dramatic. Remeber the scene from Gone With The Wind where Scarlet shook the carrot---or was it a radish?---and said, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again." I thought that was a little over the top. Maybe because I've seen the movie a zillion times. LOL <BR/><BR/>I would've grabbed a gun, said screw this and went out and shot a rabbit for supper. But that's just me and I've never much cared for veggies.Karen Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421204613111681897noreply@blogger.com
