I don’t do men who come in to the scene and bully or take advantage of women. He storms in to Maddie’s isolated castle and blackmails her, telling her that if she does not marry him and give him her castle and the land surrounding it, he is going to take her fake romance to the media and have her publicly ridiculed. He’s big and cocky and doesn’t really do romance. Logan… He started as as being the epitome of my least favorite highlander. That’s something I could totally see myself doing.
