There is simply nothing sexier and more compelling to me than a steadfast hero.
 
Steadfast love that really sees you and holds on is the best kind of love. This love values the beloved and shows it in every action. 
 
Stead·fast adjective resolutely firm and unwavering.

    Yum. These heroes are all in. 
     
    I have been having a great deal of trouble with the Man Ho  "Hero" (objectifier of women) lately so I thought I would change my focus to what I love in my romantic hero (and real men) instea of ranting about what I hate. 
     
    Here is my list of some my favorite Steadfast Heroes.  I haven't ranked them in any order but several of these love stories are five star reads for me. 
     
    1. The Mane Squeeze (Pride, #4)  when Lock decides to court Gwen O'Neill, there is nothing better than a curious bear shifter.
    2. The Chocolate Rose (Amour et Chocolat, #3; La Vie en Roses, #1)  All of Florand's heroes are steadfast (which explain my fangirl issues around her books) but Gabriel is so all in he does the most amazing things. 
    3. Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling, #12)  Move Heaven and Earth? Okay.
    4. Law Man (Dream Man, #3) Mitch pursues his very shy neighbor. 
    5. To Do List (Bettencourt Brothers, #1) Friends to Lovers Christmas fun.
    6. Tiger Magic (Shifters Unbound, #5)  My favorite of the series.
    7. Romancing Olive A new great historical romance writer I found this year.
     
    I would love to hear about your favorite Steadfast Heroes. I tried to avoid fated mated unless they were unusually steadfast.
