They should make the occasional mistake, but not be to stupid to live. They can be plain or beautiful, but if they're beautiful, they ought to know it. Books with amethyst-eyed (or other jewel-toned) heroines oblivious to their own beauty make me wretch.bettiehttp://bettiesharpe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028237754277930313.post-85062981894250570142010-09-30T14:19:19.906-04:002010-09-30T14:19:19.906-04:00Also, I like heroines who, to quote Susan Isaacs, ...<i>Also, I like heroines who, to quote Susan Isaacs, are passionate about something other than passion.</i><br /><br />YES.

I have a problem relating to happy, successful and very nice characters.<br /><br />Also, I like heroines who, to quote Susan Isaacs, are passionate about something other than passion. Not fanatics; I just like them to have a sense of self and values they don't haggle with Felicia Lindhttp://www.felicialind.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028237754277930313.post-32101487286719636992010-09-30T12:41:30.787-04:002010-09-30T12:41:30.787-04:00I like sassy,spitfire,but not overly confident, so...I like sassy,spitfire,but not overly confident, so she doesn't rule everyone around her typeswoopem2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028237754277930313.post-54699501391556727272010-09-30T12:16:42.299-04:002010-09-30T12:16:42.299-04:00I like Bad Girls.

And I do...I prefer strong women but not man-haters. And I don't want to read about women who are "rescued" by a man. She should have enough strength and motivation to rescue herself, even without the relationship. <br /><br />Other than that, I'm not picky about looks or background.Carolyn Rosewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381979293473387988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028237754277930313.post-43376743022379525902010-09-30T11:41:56.907-04:002010-09-30T11:41:56.907-04:00"Eau d'automotive"!"Eau d'automotive"!Victoria Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259793807283856761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028237754277930313.post-71337497663234052662010-09-30T11:35:50.867-04:002010-09-30T11:35:50.867-04:00I like all kinds of heroines.

She can be innocent, experienced, shy, outgoing, gorgeous, or average.<br /><br />However, there are a couple of types that I DON'T care for: I don't like the "victim" heroine who has a history letting of people (men) take advantage of her and then she meets Mr. Right who's a really nice guy and rescues her from a cycle of bad relationships.<brCara Bristolhttp://carabristol.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
