I never thought much about POV (point-of-view) and the enormous difference it could make in a book until I began writing in earnest in 2007. It was only when I was going back and revising Sinful Surrender<\/strong><\/span> that I finally ‘got it’–POV can make or break a book.<\/p>\n

As a reader, I loved it when Harlequin<\/strong><\/span> started including the male POV back in the… early 80s I wanna say. It could have been a little sooner, I’m not exactly sure. Before that, everything was in the heroine’s POV. I could never go back to that. Not ever. To me, I’d rather have the book slanted slightly more to the hero’s POV than the heroine’s. I’m not exactly sure why. I think it’s because I am a woman. I know how women think, so when I’m reading romances, I more interested in the male perspective. Yes, I do realize I’m usually getting a female’s perspective of a man’s way of thinking but I’ll take it. For me, a great romance novel is about me falling for the hero. If I fall for him, it will make sense to me why the heroine does.<\/p>\n

\"\"One of my favourite heroes, Sebastian St. Vincent<\/strong> from Lisa Kleypas’s<\/span> <\/em>Devil in Winter<\/strong><\/span>, always had wonderful things going on in his POV:<\/p>\n

“I…I’m sorry, but I would pr-prefer not to have intimate relations with you again.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Stunned and offended, Sebastian set down his comb and turned to face her. Women never refused him. And the fact that Evie could do so after the pleasures of this morning was difficult to comprehend.<\/em><\/p>\n

“You told me that you didn’t like to bed a woman more than once,” Evie reminded him half apologetically. “You said it would be a crashing bore.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Do I look bored to you?” he demanded, the towel doing little to conceal the outline of a roaring erection.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"Marcus<\/strong>, the Earl of Westcliff <\/strong>from Lisa Kleypas’s<\/em><\/span> <\/span>It Happened One Autumn<\/strong><\/span>, <\/strong>is another favourite hero of mine. In this excerpt he’s hiding with the heroine, Lillian Bowman<\/strong> so she won’t be discovered out of her chambers by her father. He doesn’t like Lillian but his thoughts and action prove otherwise.<\/p>\n

Holding her, breathing against her temple, Marcus became aware of an elusive scent, a faint flowery overture that he had vaguely registered at the rounders field. Hunting for it, he found a stronger concentration of the fragrance on her throat, where it was blood-heated and intoxicating. His mouth watered. Suddenly he wanted to touch his tongue to her tender white skin, wanted to rip her dress down the front and drag his mouth from her throat down to her toes. <\/em><\/p>\n

His arm tightened around Lillian’s narrow frame, and his free hand compulsively sought her hips, exerting gentle but steady pressure to bring her closer to him. Oh yes. She was the perfect height, so tall that minimal adjustment was needed to match their bodies in just the right way. Agitation filled him, igniting sensual fire in the pulsing pathways of his veins. It would be so easy to take her like this, just pull her dress up and kick her legs apart. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"And I certainly can’t forget Camden Saybrook<\/strong>, the Marquess of Tremaine from Sherry Thomas’s <\/em>Private Arrangements<\/strong>.<\/span> What Camden said and sometimes even how he acted were truly at odds with what he was thinking. Being in his POV was pivotal to understanding him and his feelings for his estranged wife, Gigi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He checked his watch again. Fourteen hours and fifty-five minutes before he could have her again. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are a slew more heroes whose POVs, to me, made the book. Made them heroes to truly be adored. The best are the cold, stoic kind. The heroine might see a flicker of something in his eyes but I need to get inside his head and read this thoughts.<\/p>\n

What about you? Whose POV do you most connect with, the hero or the heroine?<\/strong><\/p>\n
