Frankly, I'm partial to when a hero washes a heroines hair as an unspoking TLC sort of thing. I'm such a sucker for that! <br /><br />I love the example you give from your book.

One of my favorite movies (Rob Roy) has two heart-tugging scenes that are so tender and poignant I measure all other romances to them: The scene where he comes home after a long trip and wakes his wife up and she says "I dreamed I was ravished by a selkie" and the scene on top of the ridge by the standing stones where they make love again. It's just so beautiful: two people in love after many years of marriage, still madly in love. *happysigh*<br /><br />You're totally right, I read books for the hero. The heroine I would prefer to identify with, but I don't care all to much about her. My favorite heroes are those that remind me of my husband--which is why all my DIK hero draft picks are the sweetheart, charming guys.Ciarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976497239726167676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-41435531760480553312009-06-01T09:54:06.666-07:002009-06-01T09:54:06.666-07:00Ooh, that's it!

Thanks for the link, Carrie. :)<br /><br />Tracy, Ha! My word verification was redrea. Isn't that similar to your online name? :)<br /><br />Yes, the love story in The Village is very quiet and understated. So well put! And I do think that's why it's so powerful.

Very quiet and understated but so powerful.<br /><br />Both the scene in Colt's Choice and Scions: Resurrection are favs of mine.<br /><br />I just read an ARC of Bound By Your Touch by Meredith Duran and loved it. There are a couple of scenes in there (I won't print them and ruin in for you all) that had my heart beating faster just for the words.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-76601770385249689692009-06-01T08:14:41.498-07:002009-06-01T08:14:41.498-07:00Ooh!

I literally was saying to someone last night that I owned the movie, and not because I thought of it as a "horror" movie but as a tremendous love story. The scene on the porch is one of the most romantic in recent memory.

When Roarke asks Eve to move in and she's about to walk out the door. She finally turns around to him and says she'll stay. The tension leaves his body and he begins to relax. The way that scene is written, hardly any dialogue but you know he is happy beyond measure.Marisa O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024947742780527546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-57189489003223121372009-05-31T23:27:52.630-07:002009-05-31T23:27:52.630-07:00Hiya! Welcome to DIK!
I LOVE that scene in the V...Hiya! Welcome to DIK!<br /><br />I LOVE that scene in the Village. So many people diss that movie, but I love the relationship between those two. That scene was just so...powerful!<br /><br />One of my all-time favorite scenes is from one of my all-time favorite romances; Years by LaVyrle Spencer. Up to this point, the hero Theodore, has been fighting his attraction to the heroine Linnea. She's leaving to go home for Christmas and Theodore and his brother John take her to the train station. He yells at her he loves her when she gets on the train. It's just so...powerful and sweet and so him! :)<br /><br />I also love the scene when he asks her to marry him. I can't recommend that book enough.<br /><br />My other favorite is from To Tempt a Wolf by Kate Steele. Jace (the hero) has had enough. He wants the heroine so bad he can hardly stand it and one night decides to take matters into his own hands...literally. When she happens along? Whoo-boy! :)Bridget Lockehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215550820824744529noreply@blogger.com
