(A/N - Here's a survey, also titled Tough Guy in Baby Love - Heroine Romance)
Tough Guy In Baby Love, "Tough Guy In Baby Love" is a term I created in the key words enlistment and it's Google-able, though the idea was already a thing out in the fiction world - like the more daring of the Rogan fandoms, for example.
It's a romance genera, these kinds of stories are specifically, the fantasized-masculine-hunk-in-baby-love heroine romance -
Girl-character is very young and is childlike, much unlike the "fantasized masculine hunk" or "tough guy" in love with her, and from among their differences, he bears some heightened grim masculine maturity over her and she's a baby for him.
However, she lives with Internal Strength of a maternal heroine (e.g., The Warrior and the Woman, Baneful Love, etc.) and with a meek, outgoing, wise endurance for riding particularly challenging trials, but she's a baby for such Strength of Character. She's an enemy magnet, unpopular, and target of prejudice just for being a blessed, virtuous, charismatic, self reliant misfit.
In specifically what I of myself favor for a writing of Tough Guy In Baby Love - Heroine Romance, even our heroine becomes a damsel in distress with her fate dependent on the fantasial-glorified Tough Guy who's in love with and Needs Her With Him.
He's either her hero or her sympathetic villain - and who, for his romanticized very special soft spot for her, lets her into his #soul to change his life.
Among the #events of my preferred story, at least her bridenapping is included but not by her hero of course if that's what our guy's theme is.
