Why do we like Sexy Heroes? Guest Blog with Carrie Ann Ryan

Why do we like Sexy Heroes?

Why do we? I mean, not all men are sexy in real life. Let's be honest. But in our books all of them are sexy. Few in our books may not look it, but their inner selves make them sexy anyway. Why do we like them?
Oh yea, because its fantasy. It's make believe. We need it to be different from our real life. I love reading about sexy heroes. The way they prowl or swagger. The way they hold the heroine close or grin at something funny.

I love cracking open a book and finding a new way for the man to be sexy. The way the hair falls in front of his eyes or brushes his shoulder. The way his eyes darken with arousal or the way his fingers gently brush her skin.

Oh – and don't forget his body. Because honestly *sigh* who can? 

A sexy hero makes a reader want to read more.

But remember – a sexy boring hero doesn't make you want to read anything. Their brain and mannerisms resulting in actions that make you guess and love him all the more.

That's why we love sexy heroes. They make you want more and get you reading.
