Here's the thing about Travis I think when the author wrote him she didn't directly think about it but it's there. His characteristics are very shifter like. Those who are fans of werewolves or shifter books can appreciate a human character that has the same characteristics. You got Travis who has been abused almost his whole life so he acts like most men who do He's angry and he only knows how to express himself in one way till he meets Abby.
Unlike Real which was OMG over the top crazy I think there too the author thought of the incredible hulk in the back of her mind when she wrote Remy although she refers to him as a lion all the time. So once again an author temps to write a human hero with shifter characteristics.
So we got this new genre of human hero with shifter characteristics. Sometimes it works as in BD and sometimes it's just too over the top like in Real. I still can't believe that people who were against BD due to the Travis angry nature condone Remy in Real. It boggles my mind on this.
I think the standard for me for such a hero will always be Callan from Lora Leigh's Breed series and before that Marvel's own Wolverine. (not the water down jackman version)
