Okay, I confess I'm a wee bit peeved at my own "man" right now. Maybe it's why I love to escape into fiction or other reading! And I adore Evan!Sara Reyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244994893334843484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-32636757461010199092007-10-17T22:31:00.000-04:002007-10-17T22:31:00.000-04:00Shari,<BR/> I love ALL your books! Evan and Callaway are the true Romeo and Juliet of the 21st century. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to read your next novel...

I too enjoy reading books that have dream men in them. But there are so many male characters out there that seem to welcome a strong lady at first, but then they lose patience rather quickly. Or they themselves are so flawed or egotistical that they fear the woman's strength. Either way the feamle character spends way too much time trying to get them past those feelings. <BR/>I'd love to see more male characters that embrace the female strength--from beginning to end. And becmig is right--the Evan/Callaway duo is a good matchup. She's getting stronger every day, and he's loving it!Robertahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08613682615409319283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-72586921535162564682007-10-16T16:37:00.000-04:002007-10-16T16:37:00.000-04:00Hey becmig, <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you liked the relationship in "Loaded'"and the others. I try to keep all my characters with strengths and faults, like we are. And aren't you so right! Thank God for the fact that our real mean forgive us when we might be a little, uh, over the top. I think my perfect fictional man is not only flawed, but very patient with the leading lady. I know we all probably need more of that, patience both to give and to recieve.Sharihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17122079824103729053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-61156477161272992952007-10-16T15:45:00.000-04:002007-10-16T15:45:00.000-04:00Hello-<BR/><BR/>I used to think that there needed to be more books with men that had different personalities. Not just "real men". But then I read a couple of books that the main love interest as more metro, emotional characters. I must confess that I spent my time while reading these books mentally rewriting the men as "real men". They DO make for a better dream man. In real life my husband allows me to get away with a little too much to be a "real man" possibly(I often revert to the I'm not stupid- you are! phase!). I think that that's why I love Evan from the Callaway series- she is pretty whiny at times- like me, and he doesn't really complain!becmighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05176056231701046141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-32870802765302165332007-10-16T13:18:00.000-04:002007-10-16T13:18:00.000-04:00Hellooo out there, I'm just trying out this blog thing with my ice age dial up.
