It's great to know what other people look for in a character and I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments because they give me ideas for future stories.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050841921811007623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072320400496803114.post-87998785096859967792014-08-30T05:22:31.161-07:002014-08-30T05:22:31.161-07:00I enjoyed your post.

Good luck with "A Woman of Honour."

They have to be good people - but they don't have to be physically perfect. Laila, the heroine in my upcoming release, Of Love and Vengeance, has a birthmark that covers one side of her face. She has to cope not only with the way people react to seeing her, but how she views herself.<br /><br />I think readers relate more to characters who are not physically 'perfect'.

I’d rather consider the possibility that when they work together they can reach their goals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050841921811007623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072320400496803114.post-51463502606832604752014-08-29T07:56:57.693-07:002014-08-29T07:56:57.693-07:00I like a heroine who has a sense of humor and who ...I like a heroine who has a sense of humor and who is proud to be a woman, not act like a man. I feel women have their own superior strength in areas a man can't comprehend. It's difficult to explain - but I think a woman can be stronger than a man without using physical aggression like some think it should be. I sounds like your Isabel has the traits I like Marlow. I have two books ahead of yours but I plan on reading it soon.

They also have to be people I can admire and/or respect and someone I'd like in real life, despite their flaws. And I love medieval romances too so, this book is right up my ally!
