HR-Not your average hero (51 books)

Listopia > HR-Not your average hero

This list is for extraordinary heroes, uncommon historical romance heroes. Heroes who aren’t handsome, alpha, tall, bronze, tan, golden, masculine, rake, rogue, scars, dark, brooding, etc. also not ‘the beast’ kind of heroes. This is for totally different kind of heroes, mostly because of their appearance but can be because of their mannerism or uniqueness. The key is when you read about him, you’d think ‘wow, never thought this kind of guy can be a hero’ e.g. Avery from Someone to love who is short, slim and loves fashion.
