Books I want to Use in Challenge
Mod
I'm definitely in for this challenge. Although, I can't decide which category to put Bones under. LOL. At least I have a while to make my list:)
I'm going to try to do this one with no re-reads. I wonder if I can. lol
WLSM Hero Challenge ♂Time Frame ... 9.1st - 2.28th
Level ... Medium
Books Completed - 7/30
Bad Boy Hero ... The Bad Boy hero is in a league of his own. More heroes and readers/viewers have fallen for the Bad Boy than any other hero. He is the ultimate rebel: mysterious, seemingly indifferent, and hard to get. He starts behaving badly and unrepentant. His inner good is revealed however by the end of the novel due to actions of the heroine or circumstances that force the Bad Boy to become the knight in shining armor.
1. Strider:
2.
3.
Alpha Hero ... Oh the Alpha Hero… how we love to hate and adore him. The innate leader in any situation, all look up to him and want to be him. He is cool, confident, steady, strong, and sure. His ultimate role, I have noticed, is to take care of the heroine.
1. Cole:
2.
3.
Brooding Hero ... Our poor tortured lonely Brooding Hero, how we love to torment him! Aloof, angry, wounded, and ultimately one of the most vulnerable heroes out there, the Brooding Hero has captured the most hearts in very recent history with Angel and Edward Cullen. (The Brooding Hero is a perfect foil for the Paranormal Hero.)
1. Raphael: Raphael by D.B. Reynolds
2.
3.
Rogue Hero ... The Rogue, who by any other period outside of Regency, is a promiscuous cad in need of a physical. Utterly charming, completely dashing, and carelessly carefree about life and love, the Rogue is ready to live life to the fullest. Commitment is not a word in his vocabulary until the heroine sweeps into his sphere of influence.
1. Nicolai:
2.
3.
Nerd Hero ... Another name for the Nerd Hero is the Beta Hero. He is kind, sweet, and decent. He is the best friend or the slightly awkward gentleman. The Nerd Hero usually meets his full potential because of the heroine. He rises to the occasion… in many ways!
1.
2.
3.
Tycoon Hero ... This hero type literally litters Harlequin presents. He can be a millionaire, billionaire, prince, sheik, or wealthy boss. Ninety percent of the time the Tycoon starts out isolated and jaded in the novel only to wind up happy and easygoing by the end.
1. Master:
2.
3.
Protector Hero ... The Protector Hero comes in many disguises and professions, most are obvious, but some not so much. You can find him playing the role of a cop, firefighter, spy, detective, bodyguard, part of the military, etc. The plot behind many Protector Hero stories involves a mystery where he almost loses the heroine while trying to save her.
1. Finn in
2. Alfonso in
3.
Daredevil Hero ... Pirates and superheroes compose the majority of the Daredevil Heroes. They love action, they love fights, and they love thrills. Give them a damsel in distress and they are all over that like white on rice.
1.
2.
3.
Warrior Hero ... The Warrior Hero, funnily enough is a very reluctant hero. He thinks himself above it all. His mission in life is to fight and protect his home, his country, and his men. Then a woman is thrown into the mix all kinds of chaos and havoc ensure and he fights it every step of the way only to be conquered by the heroine.
1. Dom in
2.
3.
Paranormal Hero ... Oh yes, the Paranormal Hero, when a normal man just won’t cut it the Paranormal Hero steps in prepared to win hearts and steal our very souls. He oozes sex with his otherworldly good looks and quickens our imagination with images of the extraordinary. Call him a vampire, a wizard, a lycanthrope, or any other kind of superhuman being… it is all the same to him.

Im going to work out some more books before deciding for sure if I,m in, but its a great challenge.

I'm excited to read the Donovan brothers series too. It sounds good based on the exerpts i've read. lol
Mod
Have you read the novella in
it's a prequel sort of for Eric and Beth's book
. If it's anything like her tumble creek series, it will be good!
Oh, no I haven't read that. I'll see if I can find it. I wasn'treal fond of the Tumble Creek series but it may have been mood when I read them. lol I really like VD's writing style though, so it was probably more my mood than anything else.I have to figure out where to put Christina Dodd's series into my list though.

Difficult 5+ books for every type of hero.
1. *Bad Boy Hero: The Bad Boy hero is in a league of his own. More heroes and readers/viewers have fallen for the Bad Boy than any other hero. He is the ultimate rebel: mysterious, seemingly indifferent, and hard to get. He starts behaving badly and unrepentant. His inner good is revealed however by the end of the novel due to actions of the heroine or circumstances that force the Bad Boy to become the knight in shining armor.
2. *Alpha Hero: Oh the Alpha Hero… how we love to hate and adore him. The innate leader in any situation, all look up to him and want to be him. He is cool, confident, steady, strong, and sure. His ultimate role, I have noticed, is to take care of the heroine.
3. *Brooding Hero: Our poor tortured lonely Brooding Hero, how we love to torment him! Aloof, angry, wounded, and ultimately one of the most vulnerable heroes out there, the Brooding Hero has captured the most hearts in very recent history with Angel and Edward Cullen. (The Brooding Hero is a perfect foil for the Paranormal Hero.)
4. *Rogue Hero: The Rogue, who by any other period outside of Regency, is a promiscuous cad in need of a physical. Utterly charming, completely dashing, and carelessly carefree about life and love, the Rogue is ready to live life to the fullest. Commitment is not a word in his vocabulary until the heroine sweeps into his sphere of influence.
5. *Nerd Hero: Another name for the Nerd Hero is the Beta Hero. He is kind, sweet, and decent. He is the best friend or the slightly awkward gentleman. The Nerd Hero usually meets his full potential because of the heroine. He rises to the occasion… in many ways!
6. *Tycoon Hero: This hero type literally litters Harlequin presents. He can be a millionaire, billionaire, prince, sheik, or wealthy boss. Ninety percent of the time the Tycoon starts out isolated and jaded in the novel only to wind up happy and easygoing by the end.
7. *Protector Hero: The Protector Hero comes in many disguises and professions, most are obvious, but some not so much. You can find him playing the role of a cop, firefighter, spy, detective, bodyguard, part of the military, etc. The plot behind many Protector Hero stories involves a mystery where he almost loses the heroine while trying to save her.
8. *Daredevil Hero: Pirates and superheroes compose the majority of the Daredevil Heroes. They love action, they love fights, and they love thrills. Give them a damsel in distress and they are all over that like white on rice.
9. *Warrior Hero: The Warrior Hero, funnily enough is a very reluctant hero. He thinks himself above it all. His mission in life is to fight and protect his home, his country, and his men. Then a woman is thrown into the mix all kinds of chaos and havoc ensure and he fights it every step of the way only to be conquered by the heroine.
10. *Paranormal Hero: Oh yes, the Paranormal Hero, when a normal man just won’t cut it the Paranormal Hero steps in prepared to win hearts and steal our very souls. He oozes sex with his otherworldly good looks and quickens our imagination with images of the extraordinary. Call him a vampire, a wizard, a lycanthrope, or any other kind of superhuman being… it is all the same to him.
