This week's question:
Heroes in historical romance like the extremes - the virgin hero or the rogue rake. Which of the two makes you shudder in pleasure?
Annie: I love when an author can do a virgin hero right. But I find myself falling over the rakes more often. I want to be the one who tames the rake!
Francesca: Although I have read some pretty good virgin heroes (like Courtney Milan's Mark Turner in Unclaimed) I seem to LOVE the rogue rakes. There's just something about taming the wild boy and when they fall and put all that focus and knowledge on the one girl *fans self* Perfect example: Adrian Alistair Rohan from Reckless by Anne Stuart. He can keep me happy forever. ;)
Suzanne: Oh that's a hard one (haha pun intended!) buuuut, I think I may have to go with rake, you don't want anyone fumbling around down there, although I do love a talented virgin who seems to have internal radar to a womans g-spot! Oh yes Fran! The Rohans, hand me Francis Rohan, the granddaddy of all rakes!
Angela: Hmmm. I had to ask Fran what a Rogue Rake is (I honestly did not know)...she says pretty much said a "Man Whore". Well, yeah! Any woman that can tame a Man Whore is worth a try. I mean, if he's experienced, we can have a life time of love and pleasure! No training needed.
Now it's your turn!
looks like we are all in agreement that the rogue rake is panty melting! Thank you ladies for hosting Dirty Little Secret!
ReplyDeleteOoo a bad-ass rogue wins hands down for me! :-D
ReplyDeleteFab question as usual :-)
TT
This was a great question. Thanks for the meme.
ReplyDeleteLoved the question, but I must admit that I went the opposite direction. LOL!
ReplyDeleteTotal agree! The rogue it is!
ReplyDeleteThis is hard because I've only read 2 male virgins. Courtney Milan's Mark Turner and Diana Gabaldon's Jamie Fraser.
ReplyDeleteI was utterly in love with Jamie and still am. I adored Mark Turner but those are the only 2 I've read. Any more suggestions?
I've read way more rakes. Most historical men in romance tend to be rake and I have loved a bunch. So I think I am going to side with the Rakes only because of the many I have read.
Got to go with the panty wetting Rogue rake..*le sigh* Oh how they know just what to do and say to turn us into compliant little puppets. *winks*
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, there's only one virgin hero book boyfriend I've ever fallen for, and that's Jamie from Outlander. Otherwise, I'm all for the rogue rake. xD
ReplyDeleteYep, the rogue. ;)

Everyone is choosing the rouge rake, and for good reason! I however had a different answer. Yes a rake has that bad boy attitude and experience, but I don't like knowing my man has been with everyone and their moms too.

Hands down rogue rake!!!! I have to admit though I've never read a historical with a virgin hero!
ReplyDeleteNo contest it's the rogue rake!!
ReplyDeleteDefinately no contest...virgins are fun but only an experienced man can make me.....shudder :)!!
ReplyDeleteI've only read about one virgin dude but he was a badass virgin :D
