I like it better when the heroine is defined first and then the story is dependant on that fact. I'm not sure that makes sense but I don't know how else to say it.<br />jepebATverizonDOTnetJen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-21114697466143685922011-09-07T11:39:26.802-04:002011-09-07T11:39:26.802-04:00Hey Ashley!

I want them to be confident, secure in who they are, but underneath still needing the approval of the man they love. I like when they are more knowledgeable than their families realize. When they come alive under the right man's gaze.<br />Right now I don't have a favorite heroine but in the past it's always been Skye O'Malley. She is a force to be dealt with.<br /><br />macladie25 at yahoo dot comkissablysweet1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17041462067813981907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-28979999379994368462011-09-05T09:45:40.722-04:002011-09-05T09:45:40.722-04:00I love a heroine to be a competent and know her ow...I love a heroine to be a competent and know her own mind, to be able to handle any man, I love that she has had a life before the book, but that she never really started living until the book started, I would hate to miss out too much on her life, I love what I love and that's that lol x xParanormal Pleasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098096972861923196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-79603043403438616562011-09-05T01:23:36.047-04:002011-09-05T01:23:36.047-04:00I'm not fussed about the heroine's backgro...I'm not fussed about the heroine's background but more on her character. I like intelligent heroines as a rule (bluestockings win hands down) but not if they are blindly stubborn or plain unreasonable. I've also read & enjoyed lots of books where the heroine is quiet and gentle & also hated other books where the heroine was smart but so obnoxious that I was totally put off.<br /><br />thumbelinda03@yahoo.comLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796250279878652019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-7486591555601283842011-09-04T17:46:08.110-04:002011-09-04T17:46:08.110-04:00I like the heroine as outgoing and independent.

OH Ashley, THE DAY is fast approaching and am <b>beyond</b> excited about ROMANCING THE COUNTESS. <br /><br />There's quite a bit of heroines to choose from so I'll go with this because it depends on my mood. My perfect brand of heroine: <i>She is the woman who challenges the hero from the first day they meet until their issues are worked out. She is the sister of a friend, the daughter of an enemy, the ward of the hero, the sister-in-law of a brother, the governess, the spinster, the widow or the mistress of another man and she is COMPLETELY off limits.</i> Okay, I may have cheated because Katharine Ashe asked this ages ago on Ashley's blog and I happened to save it<br /><br />Favorite heroine: At this moment, Sophia from Shana's LORD AND LADY SPY. She's kicking ass and taking names. The gorgeous spy husband doesn't hurt either. :)<br /><br />______<br />Kati R @<a href="http://romancingrakes.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Romancing Rakes</a><br />romancingrakesatgmaildotcomKatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066191610907515893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-54919483591919398912011-09-04T03:23:04.014-04:002011-09-04T03:23:04.014-04:00I enjoy reading all types of heroines because no m...I enjoy reading all types of heroines because no matter what type they are, it's interesting to see where the author and story takes them!

Her earrings even match!!<br /><br />Thank you for this great opportunity.<br /><br />dpd333 At aol dot comDiane D - Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257503725180545601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-61777228714784021882011-09-03T18:37:49.063-04:002011-09-03T18:37:49.063-04:00Oh!

I also like my heroins to have spunk/fire a little sassy and snarkly. I tend to stay away from the innocent heroines. I've read plenty of romance books where the author has an innocent heroine but makes her out to be too naive (where it is not believeable).<br /><br />kamwh1207(at)att(dot)netTiDubbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002399088425857735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-23886808107089760062011-09-03T16:43:51.145-04:002011-09-03T16:43:51.145-04:00Hi Ashley,

In historical romances you usually come across shy and innocent heroines or debutantes but coming across sexy, sassy, self-aware and sexually aware heroines is always a treat.
