Here's my dilemma, in romantic fiction does the protagonist always have to be the female lead? I've been researching and I can't seem to find too many romatic books that have the man as the protaganist. I did find one, which I actually found to be an amazing read. It was Northern Lights by Nora Roberts. I actually thought this book more like her works as J.D. Robb, but felt it was very refreshing to read it. I have actually read it twice in the last three weeks because I really liked it.
Do I think I am talented enough to write with the man as the lead?
I'm not that "in touch" with my masculine side.
