However physically attractive a hero is, or isn't, the eyes are the most important part of that exterior as they reveal the interior.Alison Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638794898163576730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804217041330670087.post-29303296959249943022013-08-29T01:38:48.309-07:002013-08-29T01:38:48.309-07:00(Sorry for the deleted comment, but I spotted a ty...(Sorry for the deleted comment, but I spotted a typing mistake!)<br />You are right, every story needs a different hero, with different motivations. Photos are a great way to start. I don't usually base my hero on just one man, but I pick a few favourites and I 'mix things up' a bit!

But each story seem to generate its own hero and I can't predict what he's going to look like or how he'll act. Usually starts with a picture, some model or something on Facebook but yes, the eyes of that person seem to draw me in and story starts to unravel.

He has to be good looking but not necessarily handsome, a flaw can be very attractive (Robert Hossein) passionate of course but have eyes for just one woman, although that might not be obvious at first.margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804217041330670087.post-90118061839809064012013-08-28T07:01:21.684-07:002013-08-28T07:01:21.684-07:00Thank you for your comment, Beth.

Giving him brothers is a great idea! It was hard to pick my heroes, but Alain Delon, Jacques Dutronc and Robert Hossein are definitely a few of my favourites actors and singers.Marie Lavalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040316890635374526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804217041330670087.post-69227088500759758622013-08-28T06:47:25.023-07:002013-08-28T06:47:25.023-07:00For me a hero is a man who rises above his fears o...For me a hero is a man who rises above his fears or limitations in some way to achieve a good outcome to a struggle. But in a romance, of course he must be physically appealing. I agree about the eyes being an essential part of his charm. The hero of my latest story has such beautiful eyes that the heroine forgets who and where she is the first few times she meets him.... [pulsing heart and muscles turned to water] A dash of exoticism helps too. And I created him from a photo I just happened to see on the internet. He's so marvellous he now has two brothers, so he can linger in further adventures.<br />I like your selection of heroes, Marie - and suggest pistols at dawn over Alain Delon as he was.

I like my hero to be complicated, smart, and totally dedicated to his woman.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know (in case you missed it) that you were a winner of one of my books on Helena's blog.
