I usually end up rooting for them to get their HEA, but sometimes they are just too tortured to take the HEA and want to remain tortured. That makes we want to scream and throw something. I can't wait to read more about Garik's journey.

I know I've read a few books where, when it comes time for the hero to reveal his anguish, he had an embarrassing hangnail in the third grade. Or something.

I find what makes me believe in their eventual redemption is if they had a good relationship somewhere in their childhood or early years.
