Hartley asked Penelope Douglas:

Hey Pen!!! Do you prefer writing where the heroine is a virgin or if she has experience? Is that something you decided before hand for the plot or is it not something you know until you are in that character's head?

Penelope Douglas Honestly, it really doesn't matter to me either way. For Ryen, K.C., and Easton, it was natural that they'd had at least some experience ,and I liked that about them.

But for Tate, Fallon, Rika, and Banks, it was just as natural that they had little to no experience, but for different reasons. Tate and Banks hadn't much opportunity to date, while Fallon and Rika closed themselves off more due to anger or longing for someone they couldn't have. I usually know before I start the book if the H and h will be experienced in that area or not.

Even Misha from Punk 57 wasn't my typical hero. He didn't sleep around, and I liked writing a male like that. I'll have my first virgin hero soon, too. I'm definitely getting more comfortable not being so tropey anymore. Lol ;)

Thanks for the question!
