Here’s a roundup of swoony heroes from my 2018 reads! In no particular order:
The Sheehan Brothers – Stephanie Dees
The Sheehan brothers slid in in the last week 2018 and right into my heart. There is something about a man and his interactions with kids that make me swoon every time and Joe and Ash are great dads – even before they’re dads.
Jonathon Beckett – A Peculiar Courtship – Laura Beers
I love Jonathon while also wanting to inform him about women’s independence, but his boyish ways contrasting with his protectiveness win me over.
Barclay Pearce – An Hour Unspent – Roseanna White
Barclay. Swoon. I love him.
Noble Rynallt – The Lacemaker – Laura Frantz
Noble lives up to his namesake in this revolutionary tale.
Trace Riley – The Accidental Guardian – Mary Connealy
I relate to Trace’s desire to want to be alone, but I help but love him for the way he took on his three girls.
Graham, Lord Wharton – A Defense of Honor – Kristi Ann Hunter
I have to respect, admire, and swoon over Graham’s steadfastness. No floor is too hard, no sticky fingers too daunting. He pushes Kit to be a better version of herself while also giving her room to grow.
Cole “Tox” Russell – Warrior’s Seal – Ronie Kendig
Tox is your classic wounded hero. What I like about this series is that we get to see Tox develop beyond the initial romantic relationship onto a husband and father.
Adam Carrington – Freedom’s Kiss – Sarah Monzon
You can’t help but love a Carrington man. Plus, they’re hot.
Rudy Moser – Love in Three Quarter Time – Rachel McMillan
I love Rudy because he is such a different hero for a romance. This story is told from Evelyn’s perspective, but I would really love to hear it from Rudy’s!
Henry Wright – When You Look at Me – Pepper Basham
Because Henry is Mr. Wright after all (hardy, har, har). I also love Henry because he’s different than your typical hero. And his patience, oh my goodness, he’s so patient and gentle. Swoon.
I hope you found a few to add to your TBR pile for 2019! Who are your book boyfriends for 2018?

I wasn’t way into contemporaries then and I had never read a book set in Colorado before, but you know what, I loved it. I don’t remember too much about specific story points since it’s been so long, but I remember really enjoying a story that just plodded along in a satisfactory way, just like life. It wasn’t super exciting, it wasn’t sugary sweet, it wasn’t manufactured drama. It was like real relationships, which may have their exciting points, but are mostly made up of everyday boring stuff. Mindy wrote the everyday stuff in a way that makes you want to keep reading and reading and is, in my opinion, relatable because it’s normal.
