Nice reading challenge! I'm going to borrow this list since I've been hearing a lot more about virgin heroes lately.

Personal Reading ChallengeVirgin Heroes Are Hot Reading List
Time: unlimited
I've been interested in reading more romances which have virgin heroes because they are a rarity. I organized this list from the link I had found below based on personal preferences, familiarity or semi-familiarity with author, previous reads, but mostly I tried to choose books and authors that were new to me.
Most of the books I do not have so I will give myself a year to obtain them (as cheaply as I can) and read them.

Paranormal Romance
Accidentally in Love with...A God? by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff 1/4/14
Sun God Seeks…Surrogate? by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff 5/14/14
Coincidentally I was just reading an article/blog about virgin heroes yesterday. It wasn't the same one that you linked though. I wish I could find it but I don't remember whose blog I saw it on.
lol, Sans. So you mentioned when I posted it last year (I think?). I merely reposted it and updated the time limit since I won't be getting around to it for a couple more years. If you can remember the link, that'd be interesting to follow up on, Sahsana.
Thanks, Sashana!I may have to add a category for American Virgin Heroes. :)
