A fierce/over protected male who is tamed by the love of a strong/warrior woman. I also like when the characters have a uncommon/weird scene of humor.

Fierce, loyal, witty, cunning, passionate, maybe a little arrogant, powerful: physically and magically (if it applies to the story) patient, daring and a little mysterious at first.

I love alpha heroes who have a sense of humor(black, self-depreciating, doesn’t matter), charisma, and respects women.

It’s kinda cliche but I like heros who are in a sense “redeemed” by their partner. Like they’ve led a less than perfect life, but their partner accepts them and sees the good in them, which in turn inspires the hero to become that better person. Those less-than-perfect heros are more “real,” which I really like!

I like main characters who are introspective – not just telling the reader what is going on around them, but what they are thinking/feeling too. I like to feel like I know who they are when I am reading their story. I like to see their growth and transformation with their experiences. Kindness, empathy, bravery, wisdom, and strength are always traits I value.

Kind and courageous

Rebekah Cowan

Witty, smart, kind (not all the time but moments of it for sure), values the heroine for her brain as much as her beauty

Kim Marie

To me, overcoming their flaws/issues enough to truly be on that hero’s journey. I like them to be a bit messy and come out on top.

Molly Shahly

I like someone who is strong emotionally but not “tough” to the point they are just rude and disrespectful. Also sometimes characters who are tough just can’t even have a realistic and meaningful relationship with other. I love when they are just genuinely good people who inspire loyalty and love in other people and who make me want to be on their side.

I do like a “real” hero. Drives me nuts if it is too cheesy. It isn’t so much the character’s traits but more how the author describes them and how the author has them think. A great author can make you love the “bad guy” because of the talent in their writing and style. I do think it is really the author.

Honest and funny!!

Amanda Warner

I want the hero to be ultimately “good” but I don’t mind if he has to get his hands dirty for those he loves. Trustworthy and honesty go a long way too! Although, skating the truths edge (like the fey) is okay occasionally. I love humor in my hero. Even if its dry and dark. I want to know and feel how much they are attracted and “want” their chosen partner. I need to feel that electricity between them! The hero needs to be fierce and strong for those who rely upon him. Loyal, fair and true. Oh! And patience. Whether that patience is used for plotting the down fall of an enemy or for waiting out their headstrong lass! I like seeing them plan out the long game. Clever and wit is a must too. And, last but not least I tend to favor my hero men to have dark hair and blue eyes! LOL! Just a thing of mine =D

very tough kick but guy with a great sense of humor that makes me laugh and who is very smart and sly to keep enemies guessing.

Megan

  on October 19, 2017 :

He must cherish his heroine and protect her. He’s loving and devoted.

Lindsey

  on October 19, 2017 :

Loyal, romantic, funny, brave, and clever.

GB

  on October 19, 2017 :

Sense of humor, wit, strength of character, physically strong, intelligence, loyal, protective

Tammy Waggoner

  on October 19, 2017 :

My idea of the perfect novel hero would be a character who is strong, funny, loyal to family/friends, smart, and kind. I love reading stories where the character has a great bond with family/friends, where I can’t stop laughing, and where the hero grows as a character in strength, power (magic), and in general.

Rex Anne

  on October 19, 2017 :

I like the byplay between the hero and the heroine. The hero should be very masculine and have intelligence while maintaining his shell around him. The heroine breaks down his shield and they grow with each other are the best couples.

Kat T.

I like the alphahole hero who later on gets redeemed, and becomes a super nice guy after all. However, at the end of the day, the hero still has to retain some of that alphahole-ness, he just doesn’t use it on the heroine anymore. He uses his traits to fight for the heroine and protect her instead.

LeeAnn De La Cruz

  on October 19, 2017 :

I like very masculine and rugged hero characters. I like them to be jealous and mean but treat their love interest like a queen. I look for the character to have a broken past that makes it hard to be vulnerable so it will be satisfying to have them open up to their love interest in a way they’ve never opened up to anyone else. Those qualities make me fall for the hero too.
