I might be swayed to the light yet! ;-)Michelle Rowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03691058663799662706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-14129573599202021102008-08-22T14:20:00.000-04:002008-08-22T14:20:00.000-04:00It's the fantasy of what I call "the redeemable bad boy." As your previous poster said the bad boy that can be tamed by the right girl is a fun fantasy.<BR/><BR/>Sigh. I miss writing bad boys. I've been writing about good ones for too long now!<BR/><BR/>A.J.

I love me some bad boys in my books because they do and say all the things the author tells them to do, which funnily enough is just what I'd want them to do too, but in RL, it totally doesn't work that way and can be a total trainwreck. <BR/><BR/>But the fantasy of a bad boy is irresistible, and powerful. It gives the reader a thrill to think a woman can tame that bad boy enough to totally fall in love with her and commit to her, heart and soul. A beautiful dream. RL is definitely not that predictable, but we can dream, can't we? Just as long as we wake up before it's too late! *g*Stacy~http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.com
