Please recommend DHs who are not Caucasian. They can be black/African-American, Native American, Asian, etc.

Samurai Game--Sam is African American

That's a great attitude, Pamela. It's nice to see some diversity in romance, so that's why I do pay attention, although I just want a good hero.

Charles Cornick is the hero from the Alpha and Omega series by Patricia Briggs. He is a born werewolf, and the executioner for his father, who is the leader of all the North American werewolves. I recommend these books, highly!

No, it's modern. It's just more romance-focused than the Mercy Thompson series.

RC, Dream Man & Colorado ALL have secondary characters of color although they seem more like main characters because they carry over to each book and are always prominent in the stories.

Where There's Smoke (To Serve and Protect Series) by Anna Leigh Keaton

I believe he's African American. It's part of a series, but you don't have to read the series to enjoy the book. It can stand on it's own.


message 39: by Desiree M ~*~*~ (new)

Desiree M ~*~*~ LiveReadCollect (livereadcollect) | 109 comments Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Jim from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews is black.

He's not a main character (except in at least one short story) but he's in all the books.


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi one of the main characters in the Sister of the Moon series by Yasmine Galenorn is married to an elf who is black (as in ebony colored), a dragon and a japanese fox demon. The men are not the hero's but they do support the heroine.

message 46: by Laura (new)

Laura Hi. I just wanted to leave a comment about these books with heroes of colour. Has any one else noticed that on the covers of the vast majority of these books the hero is still white when the hero in the the book is of colour. It drives me nuts. The Darkest Secret is a good example. Amun has dark skin but the guy on the cover is white.


message 47: by namericanwordcat (new)

namericanwordcat | 242 comments Yeah I was noticing that as well.
