Danielle's Dangerous Hero Addict Suppport Group 2011 Mega-Challenge
Duration: January 1-December 31, 2011
Update: 4/16/11
Tier I: Rank Your Bad Boys/Dangerous Heroes
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).
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.
6:Ruthless to get the job done, or to get what he wants/needs/or to protect others.
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.
4:He has shown that those who mistake him for a ordinary, nice guy are wrong. He'll surprise you!
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.
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!
1:mild-mannered most of the time, but when his fuse gets lit, watch out. He becomes the most dangerous man in the room.

Rank the heroes from ten books with dangerous heroes that you read in 2011 from 1-10 according to their dangerous hero quotient.

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

Danielle's Dangerous Hero Addict Suppport Group 2011 Mega-Challenge
Duration: January 1-December 31, 2011
Update: 5/31/11
Tier I: Rank Your Bad Boys/Dangerous Heroes
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).
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.
6:Ruthless to get the job done, or to get what he wants/needs/or to protect others.
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.
4:He has shown that those who mistake him for a ordinary, nice guy are wrong. He'll surprise you!
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.
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!
1:mild-mannered most of the time, but when his fuse gets lit, watch out. He becomes the most dangerous man in the room.

Rank the heroes from ten books with dangerous heroes that you read in 2011 from 1-10 according to their dangerous hero quotient.

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)]
