I\u2019m a habitual rule-follower; I\u2019m allergic to getting in trouble. If I were a romance novel heroine, I\u2019d be destined to end up with a bad boy.<\/p>\n<p>Bad boys make me nervous. They\u2019re unreliable\u2014if you can\u2019t trust them to follow society\u2019s rules, how can you trust them to follow the unspoken rules of a committed relationship?<\/p>\n<p>But in romance, I can suspend my own standards and believe that bad boys can be good boys when it comes to the woman they love. That said, I have very strict standards they have to stick to.<\/p>\n<p>1. No talking down to the heroine. Ever.<\/p>\n<p>Ever.<\/p>\n<p>This chaps my ass like a slap. My sympathy will never lie with a man who demeans a woman\u2014whether it\u2019s with words or a fist. He can misspeak, and get upset, and be occasionally rude, and say things he regrets. But no talking to the heroine like she\u2019s beneath him or an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>2. No cheating on the heroine. Or anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Zero tolerance. This is a crime against trust, and if a hero breaks a heroine\u2019s trust this way, then he\u2019s broken mine, too.<\/p>\n<p>3. No committing a felony\u2014unless there are mitigating circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theseasonforromance.com\/july2011_inside-brenda-novak.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6754\" title=\"inside\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/inside.jpg?resize=160%2C253\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"253\" \/><\/a>The exception probably wouldn\u2019t have been there until a few weeks ago, when I read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendanovak.com\/index.html\">Brenda Novak\u2019s<\/a> gut-twisting romantic suspense <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendanovak.com\/books_bulletproof_inside.html\">INSIDE<\/a><\/strong>. The hero, Virgil Skinner, spent years in prison for a crime he didn\u2019t commit. But while inside, he did commit crimes\u2014horrible crimes\u2014though I could understand why. And I wouldn\u2019t have believed his character if he\u2019d been able to survive prison without committing them.<\/p>\n<p>But I can\u2019t think of many other heroes who\u2019ve done something heinous and still gained my sympathy.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at my rules, I wonder if my definition of a bad boy is wrong.
