Buffie, I have to second everything Stacey said about your post. I haven’t read this book yet, but I really, really want to now.

Mariana — thanks for stopping by and commenting. I think the majority of romance readers love tortured heroes. I hope that you will pick up BORN IN SIN and enjoy it as much I have.

Gannon — you really need to get this book!!

Great blog, Buffie! Of course, I love a tortured hero. Seeing him healed by the love of the heroine and get his HEA….*sigh* Love, love, love it!

I’ve never read Born In Sin, but I will definitely add it to my list.

Hi. This is my first time writing in here, I usually just read what the others say, hihi. But about the “too tortured hero”: I don’t think there is such thing, I think that some authors use these heroes past to justify their bad choices in the book way too much. But some of them, the heores, can have an awful life and still embrace love, like Archeron. *I luuuve him*
Want to read “Born in Sin” now… Will buy it. Thanx.

Andrea — you really need to break down and get this book. I think you would really enjoy Sin & Callie’s story. It is fantastic!

PJ — yes, Sherrilyn does write some fantabulous tortured heroes, but I still think Sin is her best.

Great blog, Buffie! It’s been years since I last read Sin’s story. I’m thinking it’s time to re-visit him again. MacGregor/Kenyon does a terrific job with tortured heroes, especially those who were held captive in Outremer.

Marisa, my heart just broke for Christian in Flowers from the Storm.

Howard “Six-Pack” Paxton from Jo Davis’s Trial by Fire is a contemporary tortured hero who captured my heart…and every other body part too.

All right, Buffie … I may have to FINALLY give in and get this book! Since we love the same types of books, I’ll probably love it. Great blog!! Oh, I love me some tortured heroes. It gives them so much to overcome with the heroine’s love.

KB – I love, love, love Jack Seward. He’s one of my desert island heroes. He’s just so delicious. All Through The Night features one of my all time favorite scenes. Which of course, features Jack…tied to a chair. SMOKIN’ HAWT!

Orannia — This is my favorite Kinley book too! She just does a fantastic job with him and Callie! Yes, you really need to dig that book out and put it on the VERY top of your TBR.

Kati — I wish you much success in digging around those books to find this one. Sin is definitely worth a second, third, fifteenth read

Marisa — Yes, I understand what you mean about not being able to take one more thing by a tortured hero. But Kinley (Sherrilyn) does such a wonderful job of showcasing Sin’s torturous background without stepping over that very thin line of making him “too” tortured. You know, where you just dwell on the hero’s tortured past and not look forward to his HEA.

Katiebabs — Count me in for the tortured heroes too!
