Most editors insist that romance authors create heroines that readers will both like and feel they can relate to, though, alas.<br /><br />Would you consider Walter White a romantic anti-hero? I'm not a fan, but from what I've heard about BREAKING BAD, I'm not sure I'd consider the show genre-wise even close to romance...<br /><br />How far can an anti-hero or heroine go before you lose sympathy/interest?Jackie C.

Too bad there is a bunch of anti - heroes in romance but so few anti - heroines. It's always the good heroine who saves the antihero from his wicked self caused by some childhood trauma. Don't bad people ever fall in love? For once I would like to read about the female equivalent of someone like Walter White.kupohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444811560424719748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630346294397505634.post-68847572681557245942013-06-05T21:06:12.321-04:002013-06-05T21:06:12.321-04:00Jen:

They can definitely turn off readers, especially ones who don't have a good sense of women's roles in the period.

The heroine is pretty calculating and selfish because she's trying to land a rich husband. She's an orphan with no family and literally no money to her name. Her options are narrowing rapidly, and her best best is to get married ASAP in order to survive. I actually read a review that complained that the heroine was annoying because she should just settle for a poor husband, which I thought was a strange reason to dislike her. In general marriage was business, and for many women in the past it was their only way to "earn" any financial security. Wanting to make the best match possible doesn't seem like such an offense to me!Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630346294397505634.post-12213052920090270092013-06-02T11:52:28.876-04:002013-06-02T11:52:28.876-04:00Pat: Do you think Scarlett comes across as more sy...Pat: Do you think Scarlett comes across as more sympathetic in the film than in the book? Or vice versa? I have to admit I've only seen parts of the film, never the entire thing in one sitting. I think we'll have to schedule a neighborhood movie night this summer to rectify this glaring omission in my romance history!Jackie C.

She played one guy off another, wanted Ashley even tho he was engaged, married her sister's beau ( the guy with the business)On the other hand, she was strong enough to get them thru the Civil War and shoot the Union guy who came to the house. Sometimes "surviving" means doing nasty things. She really wasn't the shallow belle we see at the opening gathering. She was tough and didn't even know it.Her biggest mistake was not accepting Rhett's love until it was too late. In spite of all her flaws and being unsympathetic we still like her. BUT if it was written today, I can see the horrible reviews on Amazon.Patricia Grassohttp://www.patriciagrasso.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630346294397505634.post-11017444503802714162013-05-31T19:52:22.252-04:002013-05-31T19:52:22.252-04:00I'd like to second Willaful's choice of A ...I'd like to second Willaful's choice of A LADY AWAKENED.

My childhood history is similar to the heroines, so I identified very strongly with her.<br /><br />The heroine is <i>A Lady Awakened</i> by Cecelia Grant is very unsympathetic -- prim and prickly and refuses to enjoy sex. But that turns into a win, because she insists on being accepted on her own terms and that is awesome.willafulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201963128584310884noreply@blogger.com
