Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe is the perfect hero for any of my Regency stories. Many of my heroes are ex-soldiers but not usually fair. I even watch Sean's horror/grisly films I am so besotted. My latest Regency A Christmas at Hartford Hall is out now with Aurora/Musa.

Yes, he's gorgeous, isn't he? He's always been a favourite.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely men are being paraded on this site that it has become the highlight of the day.
It certainly has! Sean is just delicious, and also deliciously down to earth, so you all feel you'll get a chance with him. He's the template for the oldest brother, Jack Henderson, in my Derbyshire Hunks trilogy.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually go for blonds either but we're getting some good ones here ... enough to make me change my mind perhaps. I keep trying to write a few blond ones into books just so I don't seem prejudices. Isn't it fascinating what turns us on? How different we all are! Good job eh? Chrissie
ReplyDeleteI think he would have made an excellent Jack Reacher in the Lee Child books -but Tom Cruise is to take the part. Jack Reacher is 6'5"!! Rest my case.
ReplyDeleteOh don't get me started on Tom Cruise as Reacher, Fenella. There were rumours that the divine Hugh Jackman would play the role. That would make sense. But Tom Cruise...
ReplyDeleteRe blonde heroes, when I attended a Kate Walker workshop (well worth attending if you can ever get to them) she told us that the reason most M&B heroes are dark haired is that in South America they don't go for blonde men.
It's odd but most of my crushes are dark haired, apart from Sean and Rupert Penry-Jones, yet I'm married to a fair-haired man. Or he was. He's more salt and pepper now.
Rupert Penry-Jones is another 'hero' of mine. I'll have to think of a dark haired hero for my next post.
