The Window Seat on a Rainy Day

I am most likely in the minority of romance readers, but I tend to shy away from stories with a truly tortured Hero. I usually prefer Heroes with smaller misfortunes or obstacles in their past that they must overcome to embrace love. But the men with REALLY awful backstories just break my heart! My compassion level goes off the chart and I find it difficult to believe that one woman has the power to save him from all the pain in his life. However, when a story finds a great balance of tragic backstory for him with a truly special kind of heroine it makes for quite the engrossing read. In her latest book Lord of Secrets, author Alyssa Everett created a believably good heroine in Rosalie Whitwell; one that I could see being a catalyst for change within the closed off and emotionally guarded Lord Deal.
