Hero Character Reading Challenge A-Z 2017

[Harlequin Books]

This is a year long challenge for 2017. You can use either the male lead character's first or last name for each letter of the alphabet. For letters X and Z, as long as the letter is in the character's name somewhere, it can be used. We discovered U is very difficult last year so if you haven't found your U male character by November, you can * the letter and use any male name with the letter U in the last name only. At least 50% of your male characters should come from a Harlequin book.

I'm not actually worried about the rest, just the U. It giving me nightmares since I failed to find it in a previous challenge.
Keeping my fingers crossed ;)

Uh-oh, I think I may be in trouble for this one. Should have updated earlier and I would have known to search for more heroes with the end of the alphabet. Now I'm sorry I didn't include titles such as Doctor, Viscount, Senator, etc. as part of the hero's name.

It's almost impossible to find a hero with a name that start with U! I see that I would have to continue my search for the future. Looking forward for the next challenge.
And Happy new year everyone.
