We’re back this week with Harlequin Presents author Caitlin Crews and her Ultimate Crush, Tair from Jane Porter’s The Sheikh’s Disobedient Bride. Read why he is her Ultimate #HarlequinHero!
I don’t remember my first Harlequin Presents—but I do know it was by Jane Porter. I read a great swathe of her books in a big, glorious glut, and was transformed forever by the experience—and I know that somewhere in there, I read The Sheikh’s Disobedient Bride. And…wow!
Tair is just the hottest thing who ever lived. He’s tortured and controlled and lord of all he surveys. He’s an unyielding force against which the heroine batters herself again and again and again. And yet I had no doubt he cared for her, that he loved her, that despite how much he seemed to be made of stone, inside was a heart that beat only for her.
This book was how I learned that a) you can really, truly fall in love with a “terrible” hero and b) the harder the hero, the more satisfying when they fall—just as hard as they are.
Thanks Caitlin! Do you have an Ultimate Crush on a #HarlequinHero? Comment below to tell us who yours is!

I spent the entire shutdown working. Had no time to wind down. I didn’t see my son much when school shutdown. My one co worker was told to stay home for 3 weeks so I picked up her hours. This year has been really crappy.
Ugh, Janell. Here’s hoping the rest of your summer is better.
Thanks for the info, Carol! Everyone is different in how they deal with the shutdown! I stay at home all the time since I don’t work so I haven’t been too effected but my shopping and errands sure have been effected!
Valri, I’ve been doing most of my shopping online. My local Target is still low on some items – mostly cleaning supplies. Grocery store is pretty much back to normal. Most of the dining in our town is outdoor. I can’t imagine have school-age kids!
Wow–getting your creative process on track must have been daunting–especially with “extra-large dog” glad to have you home. You don’t like coffee–I love coffee and have enjoyed my fortifying 2 cups in the morning even more than usual! How as COVID affected your story lines and characterizations? Best Wishes for all releases!
Interesting question, Virginia. You’ll have to tell me if the tone of my “COVID” books changed any! LOL
Life has changed so much! My dad passed Feb 2. The assisted living facility my folks were at went into hardcore lockdown the beginning of March. Mom couldn’t leave her apartment for 4 months! She was on the third floor, Will be 89 in two months & doesn’t use the phone. My husband and I remodeled the lower level completely and moved her in with us July 1. What a life change and difficult transition for the 3 of us! But we’re working thru it!
