I misread the word August and saw Angus... and then thought about the name. I have read many Scottish romances and there is often an Uncle Angus, but never a main character Angus. Is it the same for the books you have read? |

Ya, I've seen a lot of secondary characters named Angus but can't think of a main character with that name. Of course, it isn't exactly what I'd name my fantasy Highlander, so I can see why that may be. |

I'm the same way. I see Angus, I think of steak... which, come to think of it, is probably why it's not more popular as a hero's name:P |

Be Still My Vampire Heart (Love at Stake, Bk 3) by Kerrelyn Sparks has a hero named Angus. he was a secondary character in the earlier books, but the lead in this one. i don't recall any others off the top of my head. |

"I see Angus, I think of steak" I'd say there's the MORE reason for a hero to be called Angus...Everytime the heroines sees him, she'll probably see beefsteak! LOL! Last Edited on: 8/15/08 4:27 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

I can't recall any Angus' being the main character, like you said, only secondary characters. But to me, I don't automatically think steak. I think of a big, brawny red headed Scotsman. ;-) Sherri |

Whenever I hear that name, it reminds me of an acquaintance with a dog named Angus. His brother continuously mis-pronounced the name as "Agnes," which just infuriated him since it was some expensive special breed from Scotland. Then the dog started answering to Agnes, which made it worse. |

I think 'A Rogue in a Kilt' was the book that had Angus as the main character..and he did have a lot of meat as I recall :-) http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9780821777671-A+Rogue+in+a+Kilt+Kilts+Bk+2 yep, Angus 'the blood' is his name. He was a side character in 'A Man in a Kilt'. all 3 of these were pretty cute stories. A Thief in a Kilt is the 3rd and he's not in that one; only mentioned.

I see Angus and I think of McGyver! Not a bad thought for a hero ;) |

Isn't there like, some Scottish man's name that's synonymous with sausage? Not that beef is way off or anything, but... |

It's not romance, but the lead guy in Daddy's Girl by Lisa Scottoline is an Angus. I spent the whole book thinking to myself, "Huh...Angus. You just don't see that every day." LOL! |

I saw a book in my TBR pile today where the hero's name is Virgil and now I can't find it! But Virgil? I realize that being a historical that could have been a common name back then (I forget when) but really. Can you imagine "Virgil! Oh God Virgil! Harder Virgil". (my deepest apologies to anyone w/a lover, father, child etc.., named Virgil) |
