Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group discussion

Just a mid-point reminder for all participants.
Tier III must have 50 dangerous heroes from different cities and if you use American places (different states). IE, you can only use Texas once.

Please make it clear if you are finished with your challenge, so I can mark you in the stats section.

Thanks to everyone who is participating. If you are interested but haven't started, you can still start at any time and do any of the three tiers or all of them.

Oops, Sorry.
Made adjustments as best I could judge for tier III. I think I need a geography class.

No worries, Valerie. Thanks for checking your entries!

Congrats, Shellbelle. Are you just doing the one tier?

No I'm doing all three tiers, I just did an update on the one I completed! I still have 5 books left for tier 2, and I have to edit and add to tier 3 before I even know where I'm at with that one!lol

Keep in mind you can use the same country (non US) more than once, but since the United States is so large with 50 states, I thought it fair to only use a US state once.

I don't want you to feel like you're in school and have to do homework, but I found a site that will list all the cities in each US state, if you just want to check. You can always just ask if you want, and I think most books will let you know which state the book is set in.

http://academickids.com/encyclopedia/...

oooo thanks fro the info Lady Danielle :)..and fictional countries still count as well right?...and bad boys can also come from the m/m genre as well right, cuz they have so many :)

I was wondering, if a book is set in more than one country can it be included?

Lakeisha, you can use mythical places. I've done quite a few.

Lauren, you can only use one location per book, so pick the one that you can get the most mileage out of. No pun intended. :)

Not that I could tell, Katie. But I don't know what state Morganville is in. You might ask another fan of that series.

If it's in Texas, you can't use it since you already used Texas, Katie.

No problem. Thanks! :)

Thanks very much.

YW, Lauren!

Now I'm just playing on words...

I have two books with location taking place in Vegas. The thing is that one book has the action taking place in an alternate reality in Vegas (the buildings are different and the gambling stakes are too).

Could this be considered as two different locations? I just finished Hunt the Moon and cannot let pass the bad-ass senator Mircea or Pritkin unnoticed but Cassius was a feral good one too.

I have a book set in London that is alternate historical fantasy, and I just counted it once. I think to be fair, we should consider that one and the same.

Damn! Was worth a try anyway. It's a difficult challenge but I've got 5 months to find gems.

That's true. You can do it. It's not easy, but I've discovered that I have done pretty well overall.

7.Law Enforcement:Victor Bayne GhosTV by Jordan Castillo Price,22/04/2011 ★★★★★
8.Gunslinger/Outlaw:Courtland in If You Dare (MacCarrick Brothers, #1) by Kresley Cole, 26/01/2011 ★★★★ Some thoughts with spoilers (view spoiler)[Nice romance, good pacing, a bit low on details about the enemy and assassin's order: the Rechazados. I would have like to have more background on them. Will try for 2. This series is different from her Immortal After Dark series which I have a fondness for. (hide spoiler)]
9.Historical Warrior:Gabriel in Warrior(The Blades of the Rose #1) by Zoe Archer,16/04/2011★★★★★
10.Spy :????
11.White Collar Raider:Manny in Lover Unleashed(Black Dagger Brotherhood, #9)by JR Ward, 01/04/2011★★★★
12.Blue Collar:Matt in Faith & Fidelity by Tere Michaels,07/02/2011 ★★★
13.Dangerous Job-holder:Marcus in Enemy Lover (L.O.S.T., #1) by Karin Harlow, 01/02/2011 ★★★1/2 It does have the first book syndrome but still good. Some thoughs with mild spoilers. (view spoiler)[ It starts with nice and long introduction of the female character and her transformation to her new job at LOST. She’s a very strong recovering (not telling you from what) person with new purpose in life. I like that Marcus is introduced late in the book so that when he steps in and meet Jax, she’s the one doing the cat and mouse chase, a teasing mink while Marcus is doing his caveman MINE mentality. He’s the assassin, the one in control and she comes in and bam self control and common sense out the window. The real flaw is the single minded evil characters, sometimes to the point of being ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]
14.Paranormally Lethal/Immortal Warriors:Barrons in Shadowfever (Fever, #5) by Karen Moning (Barrons), 20/01/2011 ★★★★★. Oh, I loved it!

Tier I: Rank Your Bad Boys/Dangerous Heroes

8/10 completed

Dangerous Hero Scale

√ 10:Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine). Colin Gyth from Hotter After Midnight by Cynthia Eden == 01/20

9:Not the guy to mess with. He has few boundaries he won't cross.

8:He can be ruthless. Not above doing almost anything for self-promotion. Has and will betray those close to him if needed. He has a code, but it's his own code--not necessarily in line with established laws, rules, or mores.

√ 7:Most people would probably consider him insane or crazy, or just kinda whacked in the head. A scary guy. Bo "The Marauder" Novikov from Beast Behaving Badly by Shelly Laurenston == 01/15

√ 6:Ruthless to get the job done, or to get what he wants/needs/or to protect others. Roarke from Indulgence in Death (In Death, #31) by J.D. Robb == 01/31

√ 5:A hero who still has the aura of a bad boy, but is more laid back and open and not necessarily quite as ruthless. Any hero who has stalkerific tendencies is automatically a 5. He's not the type that is completely unpredictable. Tyler "Midnight" Call from Midnight Velvet by Jaci Burton == 01/28

√ 4:He has shown that those who mistake him for a ordinary, nice guy are wrong. He'll surprise you! Logan Hunt from Master of the Mountain by Cherise Sinclair == 01/11

√ 3:He will do 'bad' things for reasons he feels is necessary, and not feel too much regret about it. He has no problem claiming, kidnapping, or taking his heroine when the situation calls for it. Jack Donnelly from Tooth and Nailed by Hannah Murray == 01/02

√ 2:Slightly more volatile than a 1. Most of the time he is very well behaved, you just don't want to get him riled up! Jack Donohue from All Jacked Up by Lorelei James == 01/04

√ 1:mild-mannered most of the time, but when his fuse gets lit, watch out. He becomes the most dangerous man in the room. Calin MacLeod from Highland Dragon by Kimberly Killion == 01/09

8/10 completed

Dangerous Hero Scale

√ 10:Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine). Colin Gyth from Hotter After Midnight by Cynthia Eden == 01/20

9:Not the guy to mess with. He has few boundaries he won't cross.

8:He can be ruthless. Not above doing almost anything for self-promotion. Has and will betray those close to him if needed. He has a code, but it's his own code--not necessarily in line with established laws, rules, or mores.

√ 7:Most people would probably consider him insane or crazy, or just kinda whacked in the head. A scary guy. Bo "The Marauder" Novikov from Beast Behaving Badly by Shelly Laurenston == 01/15

√ 6:Ruthless to get the job done, or to get what he wants/needs/or to protect others. Roarke from Indulgence in Death (In Death, #31) by J.D. Robb == 01/31

√ 5:A hero who still has the aura of a bad boy, but is more laid back and open and not necessarily quite as ruthless. Any hero who has stalkerific tendencies is automatically a 5. He's not the type that is completely unpredictable. Tyler "Midnight" Call from Midnight Velvet by Jaci Burton == 01/28

√ 4:He has shown that those who mistake him for a ordinary, nice guy are wrong. He'll surprise you! Logan Hunt from Master of the Mountain by Cherise Sinclair == 01/11

√ 3:He will do 'bad' things for reasons he feels is necessary, and not feel too much regret about it. He has no problem claiming, kidnapping, or taking his heroine when the situation calls for it. Jack Donnelly from Tooth and Nailed by Hannah Murray == 01/02

√ 2:Slightly more volatile than a 1. Most of the time he is very well behaved, you just don't want to get him riled up! Jack Donohue from All Jacked Up by Lorelei James == 01/04

√ 1:mild-mannered most of the time, but when his fuse gets lit, watch out. He becomes the most dangerous man in the room. Calin MacLeod from Highland Dragon by Kimberly Killion == 01/09
