Hilariously OTT male leads.
I'm laughing so hard right now, but from a place of love of course. So I'm reading a typical Mills & Boon romance titled The Virgin's Sicilian Protector, and in the first few pages we meet our male lead. Ho boy, this dude is a busy boy! He is:
An ex SAS soldier who had to pack it in because he was shot in the head (I mean he lived, obviously).
The owner of an international chain of Italian delis called 'Toni's' (his name isn't Toni).
A property mogul pushing multi billion dollar deals.
A private detective on the hunt for the killer of his best friend's sister's murderer.
A bodyguard to the rich and famous.
Super wealthy in his own right.
As the list of his accomplishments, professions and wealth on and on I was falling out of my seat with laughter. Can't a dude just have one thing going on in his life any more? No! He's got to be doing everything it seems, and all at once.
So please! I want to hear about the most over the top male leads you've encountered in the wonderful world of romance.
