Bad boys part two
July 30, 2007
Bad boys taught me about sex – of course. Who else?
They taught me some real useful stuff too. How to drive. How to hotwire a car, pick a lock, siphon gas, play poker, hunt, fish, maintain a car, clean, and cook. Some of these basic survival skills I don’t use much any more. Some I’ve refined–mainly the cooking and cleaning.
What is it that makes bad boys sooo irresistible? They’re smart, strong, the very best of men but wild and uncivilized. They appeal to the healer/nurturer side of good women. It’s not sensible, it’s not safe, it’s not even sane. But there it is–the lure of being the one woman who could heal his wounds and tame him.
The appeal of the bad boy is exactly the same as the appeal of the wild stallion (usually black) that only the little girl has a magical connection with and can ride.
I have a soft spot for bad boys, no doubt about it. I even married one. What makes a bad boy marriage material? An honorable core. Deep down underneath all that smoldering attitude is a nice guy. Early on when I was just learning about men and life I wasn’t any good at seeing past the exterior, which made trying to tame bad boys a dangerous game.
It was sheer luck, finding a bad boy who was at heart a wonderful man.
A lonely woman finds passion with a dominant much younger lover, forcing a choice between love and loyalty 
The Enyo Chronicles includes both Dalia's Choice and Joon's Tempation. 
Three different stories, three dangerous men, and three women who deserve them 
One dangerous warrior woman plus two rogue demon males equals a love to threaten an empire. 
Getting paid to watch Eduardo is Desiree’s dream assignment, but when he reaches out to her, crossing the line, everything changes.
Deep in her secret heart, she lusts for a sexy pirate who’d be her master and commander in the bedroom. But, this man may be too dangerous
One woman, two men, three wounded hearts--though already mated their love is still forbidden.
A reluctant reporter and a lone wolf undercover cop work to catch an extortionist, finding love requires the most dangerous risk of all. 
Street-smart cop plays princess to catch deadly terrorists. Now,the only man she trusts is the one she can't resist.
Along with the arrival of Sam’s nemesis comes Karina, the one woman who can heal his wounded soul. What he doesn’t know may kill him. Because, the love of his life is his worst nightmare--his enemy’s daughter.

I have such a hard time reconciling “Dangerously Sexy” who ran around chasing after bad boys with the sweet woman in the picture wearing a pretty hat and braid. LOL! I absolutely love that.
My appeal when it comes to bad boys is the idea that they’ve become bad because they are somehow wounded. It’s the eternal female nurturer, wanting to heal everything broken. He’s turned his back on society because at some point society turned it’s back on him. Yup, that’s incredibly sexy.

Lori that’s my fancy gardening hat, and you’re right my preferred reality is a long ways from the stories I write or read for that matter. LOL
Fortunately for me I settled down to live a sensible life eventually. BTW I agree about the appeal of bad boys–they cry out for the love of a good woman. ;)
