Hello and welcome! I’m Richard Courtenay, Earl of Glasmere.My thanks to Ruth for telling my story in THE BRIDE TOURNAMENT and for hosting me today and to you for stopping by. Please comment on your favorite characteristic in a hero for a chance to win one of three copies of Ruth's first book, AT HIS COMMAND.
What is your strength?
I would have to say patience. The lovely Eleanor can be quite strong-willed and full of, shall we say, interesting ideas that she's convinced are for the best. Plus, as I'm sure you know, even in your time, politics can be trying.
What is your weakness?
Trust. After you’ve allowed yourself to open up and be
vulnerable to accept what you thought was love only to be cruelly betrayed…it’s very difficult let anyone else breach the armor you’ve created around your heart. Especially when said someone is doing her best to find you a better and more willing bride because she wishes to wed her betrothed, but you find yourself intrigued nonetheless.
What would you like to get on Valentine's Day?
Chaucer is believed to be the first to associate this day
with romantic love. In the 1460s, when I first met Lady Eleanor de la Tour and
was offered her hand in marriage, Valentine’s Day hadn’t yet come into vogue,
as they say. Now, I confess I would like to receive chocolate. I do enjoy a good piece of chocolate, preferably with hazelnuts. The way it melts on your tongue....
What would be your perfect date?
Unfortunately we One of our first "dates" was what you call a picnic. We had an interesting al fresco luncheon. She just looked so lovely sitting on a cloth on the grass arranging the foodstuffs I'd brought, and I was so pleased to be with her, I wanted that moment to last. So I'd say another picnic, on a perfect sunny day with a slight breeze. I'd select items to tempt her palate and please her.
What are you giving the heroine for Valentine's Day?
Eleanor loves chocolate even more than I. We share many things, but can be possessive when it comes to sweets. So I'll be giving her a large box of her favorites, just for her. Which means no fruit allowed except for raisins, and only milk chocolate.

I love strong muscular heroes who are brawny on the outside but soft and fragile and tender towards their loved ones on the inside

I fall in love with a hero when he is genuine, truthful and honest with his heroine and other characters in a story. Thanks for your participation in this terrific blog hop! jdh2690@gmail.com
My favorite trait is loyalty. Without loyalty none of the others matter.
I love my heroes to be tall, well-muscled Alpha males who are intelligent, loyal, honest, with a wicked sense of humor and dangerous to cross especially if you try harming his lady love, kids, family or close friends.

Strength, integrity, loyalty and soft underbelly for loved ones
Thank you for the great comments!
Loyalty is my favorite characteristic!
What I like most in my heros is loyalty, fairness, caring for their ladies, and has a sense of humor! I also love imperfect heros. A limp, battle scars, lost in love. Not everyone is perfect
