Grumpy Heroes Anyone?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I love grumpy heroes. Especially when they are a bit reclusive and don't tend to open up to anyone, and before you know it, the heroine sneaks into his heart. Which grumpy heroes would you recommend? I will add my list when I get a chance.

[Kelly]

Lord Dain, Lord of Scoundrels is the first to pop into my mind. I love a grumpy hero as well. Looking forward to seeing what people come up with.

[Terri]

Rydan in Storm by JEan Johnson

[Janie]

Lothaire in Lothaire by Kresly Cole. The BEST grump.

[Dina]

I'd say the Neighbor from Hell series by R.L. Mathewson might make the list lol love those!! And they always make me laugh.. actually even the Pyte/Sentinel series also would make this list :)

R.L. Mathewson

I totally agree.. best grump and absolutely adorable ;)

[Kryptonite]

Fearghus from Dragon Actually
Maybe Jack Pallas from Something About You

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Ya'll listed some great ones!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Danger Zone]

Oh yeah, Jack! Love him!

[Awilk -never sleeps-]

I agree with Terri. I loved Rydan.

[Jill]

I love a good grump. I would have said Barron's, but sure if he is a grump or just a jerk, :-) still love him.
I will kept my eyes on this thread because I am always looking for a good grumpy hero.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Danger Zone]

Joe in At Peace
Ciaran Timberlane in My Forever Love
Alastair in To Beguile a Beast
Dageus MacKeltar in The Dark Highlander

[Pallavi]

I dunno if he fits the category but Diaz from Cry No More was one of the most intriguing heroes I've happened upon. Grumpy wouldn't be the word for him. I think "dangerous, silent, lethal" describe him best.
PS- Yeah! I keep adding lethal at every chance I get! LOL.

[Jessica]

@ Pamela - Oh I love Dageus. I have been listening to the audio books of this series and it is wonderful. I agree he is rather grumpy so is his brother for that matter. Must run in the family.

[Lauren]

Some great choices here. Love Daegus (my favorite MacKeltar) and Jack Pallas.
Another grumpy hero is Jake Dolan in

[Leann]

Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire in Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt Maiden Lane series

[Goge (BARRONS) le Moning Maniac,]

My phaj ej (hero)!! Barrons! Barrons! Jericho Z Barrons. Grumpy moody calculative annoying bite-worthy wonderful lovable possessive sweltering Barrons *swoons*

[Kryptonite]

Almost all of Katie MacAlister's heros are grumpy

How funny! I thought of Jake in the shower last night.

I think of Barrons as a grumpy hero as well.

Azazel from Demon
Madoc from Living Nightmare

Oooo...I loved that book. Zarek was so strong yet heart breaking.

[Janie]

Oh, yeah Jessica, he was heartbreaking. Killed me while reading it.

[Jessica]

I thought of another one. Ren from . He was super grumpy and refused to open up for quite a bit of the book. But once he did you just loved him.

[Janie]

Loved Horse from

[Alisa]

My favorite grump is Dragos from

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Yeah, Dragos was deliciously grumpy. Just like an ancient dragon would be!

[Awilk -never sleeps-]

[Goge (BARRONS) le Moning Maniac,]

had a pretty grumpy hero. Christopher.

[McGee Magoo]

I remember Richard from Jill Barnett's Dreaming as quite a grump. But, to be honest, I'd be grumpy if I had to deal with Letty.

[namericanwordcat]

Love Joe, he's one of my favorites as well!

[Dana]

Just finished
and it was great! Bastian can be a very dangerous grumpy asshole, but he does have a wonderful heart under all that!

[Cherrie]

Tessa Dare's Stud Club series features two great grumpy heroes:

Spencer Dumarque, Duke of Morland (One Dance with a Duke).
Rhys St. Maur, Lord Ashworth (Twice Tempted by a Rogue)

Rhys is especially fantastic. Love me some grumpy heroes :)

I think my type may be "grumpy, dark caveman with a tortured past". Yummy.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Need to get started on Tessa Dare's books!
