While I'm reading stories with beta males I'm always silently trying to advise the heroine the care of beta rouges who need their care and guidance!<br /><br />Once you break through that thick wall of resistance Beta males become loving and thoughtful husbands and the journey is worth the reward at the end! Trust me on this because I've been married to my Beta male for 42 years!Jeanne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111451097520221555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-18081362679432457042012-08-17T09:30:44.649-04:002012-08-17T09:30:44.649-04:00Donna MacMeans writes beta heroes really well.
