Christopher, “Stern Brunch Daddy” is romance-reader shorthand for a very particular kind of character trope: commanding and a little intimidating, but deeply caring and attentive underneath it all. He’ll take you to brunch, keep your mimosa full, make sure you’re taken care of—and save a rather different kind of sternness for later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThink Mr. Darcy, if he had a brunch reservation; Adam Carlsen in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Love Hypothesis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e; or Charlie Lastra in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBook Lovers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: stern, competent, a little intimidating, and far more attentive than he’d ever admit.
