Foreign accents are so sexy... whatever they're saying
This one REALLY annoys me. I've seen several examples of this: the hero is charming the heroine by speaking in French or Spanish or whatever, and even though that idiot woman doesn't understand a word, she think it's SO SEXY to hear him. Seriously... he could be saying you're fat, ugly, an easy conquest and smile as he speaks it! If you don't speak the language you're just looking like an idiot. There's also the case where the hero comes from 15th century Scotland (for example) an behaves like a Neanderthal, but it's OKAY because his accent is SEXY. -__-
Clothes, sports cars and a penthouse make the man...
Where are the average joes? It's either a castle in the 16th century or a penthouse in the 21st century. I particularly hate it when 99% of romance heroes drive sports cars (or something expensive). So cliche! The cherry on top is when the author actually bores us describing the brands of his clothes OR THE PRICE OF THEM! Dear author, I don't care about the price of anything the hero owns. It won't impress me!
