I recently read two books that featured heroes who start off as stuffy and might even come across as judgmental:
Her Best Worst Mistake
by Sarah Mayberry (contemporary), and
What a Gentleman Wants by Caroline Linden (historical).
Both are great books, so do check them out! Here's a link to the
Dear Author review for the Sarah Mayberry book, which is where I first read about
Her Best Worst Mistake.
Getting back to the heroes - as the stories continued, I, along with the heroine, began to see the person behind the stuffy mask, and each hero turned out to be really heroic - a truly good guy, someone the heroine can rely on through anything and everything.
This is a trope I really love in romances. Do you? Are there any books you'd recommend that feature this kind of a hero?

There's quite a few books in the historical gender that i've read, that feature these type of hero. By Laura Lee Guhrke :
By Julia Quinn, my favorite Bridgerton :
By Julie Anne Long:
One of my favorite all time books, by Loretta Chase:
Fantasy and fairy tales retellings: the story of a prince who was so serious and stubborn, that gets transformed into a dunkey
Contemporaries:
These are "some" of my favourites. :)
