Otherwise, they're too straight for me.

But as a writer, we use "shortcuts" to tell readers about a character, and the career choice of the hero is a good shortcut. For example, for me, chef means Leader and Sensuous. Whereas Cowboy means Loner and Tough. <BR/><BR/>One thing I find really interesting in contemporary romance novels is how many heros have just this short list of jobs that Cheri listed, Diana Holquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259451067929029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-346200650440973852008-07-28T10:25:00.000-07:002008-07-28T10:25:00.000-07:00In contemporary fiction, I like just about any car...In contemporary fiction, I like just about any career. I have enjoyed books that featured modern cowboys, shiekhs, CEO's, doctors, firefighters, police officers, detectives, chefs, military officers, bodyguards, bar owners, etc. I guess it's the guy himself that does it for me.
