Top Ten Tuesday: Villains

 This week's topic is Villains. 

We did this one back in 2016. You can read my thought here


I love a good villain - especially one that makes you hate them so much.

I will say that Sarah J Maas writes excellent villains. They are so cruel - Maeve is horrific

But I also think there are men in romance novels who are jerks:
like Dr. Satan in

Or Cole in

Or men who want to mold women into their ideal partner like Allen from 

Then there's the villain to hero move, which is very hard to do. But Sarah MacLean did it with:

Thrillers:
Or the one in this book (no names because of spoilers)

Sports 
the boys in this one made my blood boil

What type of villain sticks with you long after you've finished reading?

I wonder why so many romance novels include male characters who are jerks?

I have Michigan vs the Boys on my TBR. As a girl who played a male dominated sport, I think I will be able to relate to what she goes through.

My memory is so bad that I always struggle with these kinds of prompts. You did great with it! I've read THE CRASH, but that's it from your list.

Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
