Denzel Washington in Déjà vu and Man On Fire also Johnny Depp makes a wonderful pirate. I adore him. In books, tough guy Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, the infamous Mr Darcy, Bones from Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series, from Nora Roberts' Mackade brothers and cousins and of course Linda Lael Miller's McKettricks...Yum! How I do love my cowboys! Thx!

I lo...Gosh I hope this works this is a second try.<br /><br />I loved Rhett Butler from Gone with The Wind.

Who doesn't want THAT? <br /> BUT in real life I am more drawn to a character like John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler. While I love to read about the men in Harlequins, the truth is that it is the smile, the lopsided grin and spark in the eye that gets me. The guy who makes me laugh has me every time.miriamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319153566114723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081572310414467076.post-57665510772131848182011-02-22T20:03:10.566-08:002011-02-22T20:03:10.566-08:00My favorite hero is Duncan MacLeod from the Highla...My favorite hero is Duncan MacLeod from the Highlander TV series.

I also like the hero to be rugged, and a take-charge decisive guy who knows what he wants and knows how to take care of and protect his woman; they're altruistic. They have to have a little bit of a sense of humor too. I also like Mr. Darcy, like Susan mentioned. Some of my other favorite characters include: "Derrick Morgan" on Criminal Minds, the new "Steve McGarrett" on Hawaii 5-0, Keanu Reeves in "The Lake House", Ralph Fiennes in "The English Patient" (lol, before he got burned of course). Oh, and one last fave is the character of "Nick Burnham" in Danielle Steel's "Crossings" (the ABC movie version f/ 1986 though played by Lee Horsley).Janelle LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766577000366215990noreply@blogger.com
