It's The Bad Guy. Meet Mr. Evil Dishrag.

I'm in the same place in both my wip. "Cold Vengeance" has reached the mid section where I need to introduce the villian, either through action (he does something evil) or through his POV. Jessica and Travis have just done the wild thing. We get a glimpse into Travis's trouble with strong feelings. Now, something has to happen. *Sigh* but Mr. Evil Ex won't cooperate. I think he's sulking because I've deleted a bulk of his scenes.
So, I switched over to "Rough Seas". Maybe Ethan and Charlene will be cooperative. Nope. They reach a point that I wanted to introduce Mr. Evil Dishrag, but M.E.D. is being shy. He's not a very strong character at this point.
I wonder what it is about this particular part that creates so much trouble for me?
I've been reading instead. "Bound By Love" by Loribelle Hunt is a novella. It's very, very hot. I fell in love with the characters and they did things that I'm thinking of sharing with my husband. The idea that a man would get a woman to commit to a whole weekend of fabulous sex......is so tempting.
I also got to read "Tourist Attraction". Dr. Brian. Yummmmmmmmy! The story keeps driving right up to the end. Even the ending still left me in doubt of the HEA. Shelli Stevens did a fabulous job AND she had some positions that aren't normally covered in romances (and really need to be.) I highly recommend Shelli's books. Her voice is funny and yet, evokes sympathy for her characters. I love her stuff.
I'm back to the drawing board with my villians.
Who is your all time favorite villian? And why? Maybe I'll blog about that tomorrow.
