#DailyDiva

Day 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!

@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…

@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 His buddy Marcus is equally capable of being sweet, but built his withdrawn and chilly side for self-protection.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 Personally, I think the #CinnamonRollHero should show the sweetness openly, not just to their chosen one/group.

I think we need a term for the crusty-exterior-gooey-center, but cinnamon roll isn't it, IMO

@herhandsmyhands @notTheAudience @Anthro_CLH @Diva007 @romancelandia @romancebooks @OliviaWrites Yes!! That's a great way to distinguish cinnamon roll! I think mine all still count, though Jamie and Zafir might be borderline.

@lenoreo @herhandsmyhands @notTheAudience @Anthro_CLH @Diva007 @romancelandia @romancebooks @OliviaWrites Mine has a colder/stiffer work persona but everybody, I mean EVERYBODY sees right through it.

As his partner puts it, "He has a way of making you want to take care of him, doesn't he?"

He's blisteringly competent one minute, then he can barely feed himself. There's a whole covert team at the office to keep him humming along efficiently.
