I think these characters can be difficult to portray just right, without making them appear too negative. We'll keep trying, though, and hopefully create some that work well!

I grew up reading Betty Neels' stories, which often featured a more beautiful, spoiled woman who the heroine thought was competition (even if she wasn't), and a few that had a guy going after the heroine for less than honorable reasons. I recently saw a movie called Dorfman in Love that featured a Mr. Wrong. There are other, more Mz.ZeyZeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103043264622719573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-19905090905754953792014-03-19T09:30:24.618-07:002014-03-19T09:30:24.618-07:00Linda, I've seen The Wish List and really like...Linda, I've seen The Wish List and really liked it (maybe because I work part time as a barista, and I loved Fred's different drinks!)

Any character in a book should be created well, and when they make the hero or heroine think twice, give them fits, or otherwise upset the status quo, they're valuable.

I like troublesome exes, or even some women who have designs or the hero. They do still exist for real, so I think they can keep a story on edge.rozdennyfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506701706951201107noreply@blogger.com
