I’m not gonna lie — I have a hard time pinpointing this trope. To me the majority hero’s are cinnamon rolls.
What sets a “cinnamon roll hero” apart from a non cinnamon roll hero? And you can’t say Alpha Holes.. we know alpha holes aren’t cinnamon rolls. But if they’re not an alpha-hole.. does that make them a cinnamon roll?
When thinking about a cinnamon roll hero and the main men in the books above, they seem to be over the top, head over heels, would walk to the ends of the earth for their person and aren’t afraid to show it. I honestly love that vulnerability in a hero and it always makes me feel their love that much more.
Tell me what you think a cinnamon roll hero is — if I’m hitting the nail on the head or way off base! LOL!
