We've all asked ourselves the question at some point, right? How did we end up with this abusive alpha trope in romance, and how do we fix it? Patricia D. Eddy, Jonathan C. Bruce, and I tackle the question, and let me tell you, there's not much we leave unmentioned. From the basics of the "007" alpha trope of yesterday to the present "dark-and-twisty" romantic male characters, we dive in. If you're a romance writer or simply a lover of the genre, you shouldn't miss this episode.

Note: this is a long episode. So hang onto this one for a long drive...or workout. ;)
