My Book Boyfriend (#31): Shane Collins

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme, hosted by Missie at TheUnread Reader. What is My Book Boyfriend you might ask.  Well it is a weekly meme where we talk about a literary crush including stats, a picture of what you imagine he looks like and some quotes from him that make you swoon.  If you are interested in participating please check out the My BookBoyfriend Introduction Page over at Missie's blog The Unread Reader.


If you've been following us for a while, you'll know that I've started (almost finished) reading The Morganville Vampires Series; and I bet you've been wondering why it's taken me so long to use this guy. I don't even know myself. I think it's because I wanted to get as far into the series as I could so I had an amazing choice of quotes for him. So, I'm in love with him and his best friend but I'm only doing the one today. He would be...Mr. Shane Collins. 

Shane Collins


Description: Shane has light brown 'slacker' hair and brown eyes. He's pretty well toned and is reknowed for getting into fights. Before Claire, he was a little bit of a...um...man ho? He lives in the Glass House with his best friend Michael and Goth Eve and his (now) girlfriend Claire. 



"God, I needed you," he murmured. "I can't even tell you how many times I thought about this. The funny thing is, I don't need you any less now. I think I need you more." 

'He leaned back, eyes half shut, and he was smiling. Shane didn't smile all that much, and it always left her breathless and tingling. There was a secrecy about it like he only ever smiled at her, and it just felt... perfect."Claire, you're being careful right?" He smoothed hair back from her face. "Seriously. You'd tell me if you got into trouble?"

No trouble," She lied, thinking about Monica's not-so veiled threats, and that glimpse of Shane's dad seated across from Oliver in the coffee shop."No trouble at all"

Good" He kissed her again, then moved down her jawline to her neck , and, wow neck nibbles took her breath away. She closed her eyes and buried her fingers in his warm hair, trying to tell him through every touch how much she liked this, like him, loved...

Her eyes came open, fast.

She did not just think about that.

And then, maddeningly, he let go and leaned back, lips damp. He licked them, watching her, and then gave her that slow crazy, sexy smile again.

Go to bed" he said " Before I decide to come with."

"He broke the kiss and leaned against her, breathing hard. "Good morning to you, too. Man, I just can't stay mad when you do that."

Heh. Ain't he cute? Now you see why I love him! I even have a bracelet with his name on it. It took me a while to find the right Shane, I went back and forth between Chase Crawford and Matt Lanter, and I couldn't decide. It was really hard, but after lots of thinking and flipping back and forth I decided that Chase-Although also my Adrian Ivashkov- was more perfect for Shane...only because I ended up agreeing with Donna that Matt Lanter was too beefy for Shane...that's all. If that wasn't the case, I would have mushed them both up and created one big hunky Shane Collins. 

So, yeah, Shane Collins...*la swoon*. You're welcome. Took me long enough to use him. Maybe if you're all lucky I'll even give Michael Glass the spotlight for a bit...maybe.

Who's your book boyfriend? 

Thank you Missie for hosting a great meme!
