Song on my iPod: Pretty Brown Eyes by Mint Condition
My current hero is quite a handsome devil (as most romantic heroes are). He's physically beautiful with a face made for GQ magazine, and body made for all sorts of naughty stuff *swoon*.
Although the package is perfect, he has internal flaws (of course). But I'm having a bit of dilemma. I'm wondering if I need to make him MORE flawed, and add a bit of a physical imperfection, otherwise he may be too perfect for readers.
I'm not talking a lump on his back like Quasimodo, but maybe a scar on his chest from throwing knives around in the boardroom? Or from a romp in the hay that went horribly wrong when he landed on a pitchfork? Maybe a stiletto was embedded in his chest after he ditched a lover, and now there's a dent in his rippling pectorals?
The question I ask is this: do you mind a physically perfect hero, with loads of internal scars/imperfections? Or do prefer a physically imperfect hero with battle scars, a whopping great tattoo or a third nipple?! Lol.

Well, I love the sound of your hero just as he is *grin* So long as he is internally tortured, I am a happy girl. Evil, yes, but happy!!!

Lol, Christina. He can be evil, as long as he's hot, right?!
My hero isn't evil, but he has issues. My heroine is more than willing to kiss him (etc.) and make it all better :-)
Jenn, nice quote! Where do you get your quotes from?
We are all flawed individuals, some more so than others. It's how we deal with these flaws that makes us interesting :-)
LOL, well I wasn't clear there, I meant I was the evil one for loving tortured heroes - but thinking about it, I'm quite partial to evil heroes too!!!
Lol, Christina!
