Books Featuring a Cinnamon Roll Hero

For a long time, romance heroes tended to be strong, arrogant, super smart and often assholes. But in real life, it's great to have a partner who is kind, thoughtful and vulnerable. I prefer heroes who have some niceness to them, with varying levels of sweetness. The ones who are willing to admit they'll do anything for their partner? They're the cinnamon rolls.
