Diva007Day 27 of #RomanceAwarenessMonth and today's post is dedicated to @lenoreo as she mentioned #CinnamonRoll MMCs in a recent reply. My fave Cinnamon Roll Hero is probably Martin in Olivia Dade's "Teach Me": he's been hurt in a previous relationship; he's a doting dad; he is sweet and gentle with the FMC Rose, until he becomes a dirty talking sexy lover (after seeking her consent for talking dirty, of course).
Please share your cinnamon roll recs!

Lenoreo@Diva007 @romancelandia @romancebooks OMG, YES!!! You are speaking my language, and Martin is such a perfect Cinnamon Roll!!
While I'm still not sure what sets a cinnamon roll apart from a beta hero, they are always going to be #1 book boyfriend material for me.
Some faves:
Jamie from The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna was a great grumpy version.
Ren from Always Only You by Chloe Liese (as mentioned by @notTheAudience)
(1/2)
@Diva007 @romancelandia @romancebooks @notTheAudience
Zafir from Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert (also a bit grumpy).
Beau, Roscoe and Jethro from the Winston Brothers series by Penny Reid
Alec from Not Your Average Friend Zone by Cassie Mae
Ethan from The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan
S'bren from Penny's Protector by Ruby Dixon
Daniel from Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
And I'm sure I have a gagillion more, but I first read it in Meet Cute Club by Jack Harbon

Omg loooove Zafir. I wonder if Alex from Olivia Dade’s All the Feels would qualify?? He’s one of my favorites, but he’s kind of a secret cinnamon roll…

Viggo Bergman@Anthro_CLH @lenoreo @Diva007 @romancelandia @romancebooks Now this is the kind of question that helps me understand the classification. @OliviaWrites has a lot of cinnamon roll characters, but Alex has a snarky, slightly bitter sense of humor that doesn't quite fit. Is he on the border? His buddy Marcus is equally capable of being sweet, but built his withdrawn and chilly side for self-protection. (Loving this discussion.)
@notTheAudience I am LOVING this too!
