My Book Boyfriend (#33): Travis Maddox


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. 

My book boyfriend today comes from a book that I recently read and fell in love with. I'm also sleeping with the hottie. His name is Travis Maddox from Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster.

Description: Travis is a bare knuckle fighter, he has a volatile temper, is jealous and possessive but also smart and cute, he has sex with a lot of woman but gets tamed (just about) by Abby. He'll sing The Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction' in the cafeteria so no-one stares at you. He smokes and drinks whiskey. He has tattoos and a motorbike as well. 






Quotes: “I know we're fucked up, alright? I'm impulsive, and hot tempered, and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you...but I fucking love you, Abby. I love you more than I loved anyone or anything ever. When you're around, I don't need booze, or money, or the fighting, or the one-night stands...”




“You can’t tell me what to do anymore, Travis! I don’t belong to you!”
In the second it took him to turn and face me, his expression had contorted into anger. He stomped toward me, planting his hands on the bed and leaning into my face.“WELL I BELONG TO YOU!” The veins in his neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. “I belong to you.”

"To douchebags!" he said, gesturing to Brad. "And to girls that break your heart," he bowed his head to me. His eyes lost focus. "And to the absolute fucking horror of losing your best friend because you were stupid enough to fall in love with her."



Well there's Travis Maddox. He's so hot. I'm sleeping with him now. That's Nicolas Lemons modelling for me. Ain't he gorgeous? Lol. Thanks to my friend Heather on Goodreads for the tip off! 

If you haven't read Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, then you really should. I hope Travis/Cam is enough to convince you. 

Thank you to Missie for hosting a great meme.

Who's your book boyfriend this week?

My Book Boyfriend (#32): Daniel from Telesa-The Covenant Keeper + Take Daniel home-International Giveaway!


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. 

So, I'm back. With a vengeance.  Heh. It's been a long time. Happy March everyone. I previously read a book for review named Telesa-The Covenant Keeper and fell in love with a beautiful Samoan. It made me want to visit Samoa just for him. His name is Daniel, and he's a sexy Samoan college rugby player.

Description: Daniel is 19. He's part Tongan, part Samoan. He's tall with dark hair, and has an intricate tattoo down his left bicep to his wrist. His shoulders are broad, and he has abs. He plays the guitar, sings and he's the star of the SamCo rugby team...*sigh*




Quotes:..."But when you're so close to me like this and you touch me like that, I keep thinking of things I shouldn't. That I promised myself I never would." "Things?" I whispered the question so softly that he had to lean closer to catch it. "Yeah things. Like...this." He leaned close, so close I hardly dared to breathe. I kept still, so still. His breath was hot against my skin as, hesitantly, his lips met my cheek, lingered and then danced to my mouth."


"He wore a brief piece of elei tied at the hips. His burnished chest was bare save for the single bone carving. His whole body gleamed with glistening coconut oil and his tattoos spoke their story clearly in the sunlight. He was the noble warrior of every myth and legend."


"Daniel turned and before I could move to join his grandmother in the workroom, he pulled me to him and moved us both out of sight. Into the jasmine-fragranced darkness. "What?" my query was still as he enveloped me in his arms, gently running his hand through my hair to tilt my head back so he could bring his lips to mine. He was shirtless and I could feel every inch of him through the thin fabric of the lavalava that separated us."


"I love you. And I can't be without you anymore. I want to be everything to you. But if you can't then I'll be what you want me to. Your friend. Your debate sparring partner." A crooked smile as he paused before proceeding. "Your designated driver. The guy who picks you up the next time you pass out in the hallways. Heck, I'll even settle for being the guy who gets his eyebrows flamed-just so I can give you my shirt when you burn your clothes off."



Right, ladies, that's Daniel. Pretty tasty huh? He's being modeled by New Zealand rugby star Ezra Taylor. Author, Lani Young made this choice, and he's pretty perfect for Daniel. He definitely brought Daniel to life for both of us.

Right, so onto the giveaway. Lani Young has kindly offered to giveaway 2 e-copies of Telesa to 2 International winners!! That's right, two of you lucky ladies could be in with a chance of taking Daniel home with you. Trust me, you want to. ;)

To be in with a chance of winning, just fill in the rafflecopter form below. There are a couple of mandatory fields, a tweet, and a Facebook like to be done. Nothing else. Giveaway is International and ends on March 30th. Winners will be announced via the Rafflecopter form and emailed about their win.

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?

My Book Boyfriend (#30): John Mitchell


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.


Right, this is a very different boy-man-I should say. He doesn't really belong in a book. More from a UK TV show. I did ask Missie if this was ok, and she said it was fine. My guy comes from the UK version of Being Human, he is a 100+ year old vampire name John Mitchell. Mitchell for short.

John Mitchell


Description: John Mitchell is an Irish vampire that was turned during the first world war by his Sire, Herrick. He was a pretty vicious killer after he was turned but has since sworn off blood. He has no mate; but is partial to the odd pretty girl, human or vampire. He lives with his best friend George, a werewolf and Annie, a ghost in a small house in Bristol, England. He works as a hospital porter to try and be 'normal'. 



George Sands: "Why now?"
John Mitchell: "I don't know. When in Rome, stop killing the other Romans?"

"George Sands: "So, a house or a flat?
John Mitchell: Whatever we can afford.
George Sands: And if we need to move on again?
John Mitchell: We move on.
George Sands: We share the cleaning.
John Mitchell: We can draw up a roster, I'll buy highlighter pens and everything.
George Sands: What about guests?
John Mitchell: We can't ask them to clean.
George Sands: No. What if one of us wants to have a guest?
John Mitchell: In your last house you clearly had a level of security that I'm not used to. You want a guest. You have a guest. Wait a second, are you talking about a lady shaped guest?"

"I'm not having you turn my nice house into the Playboy mansion."

John Mitchell: "You'd be better in a fight, you're stocky."
George Sands: I'm not stocky.
John Mitchell: Look at you, you're like... you know in a cartoon when a safe falls on someone...?"

"You could be my salvation." 





Well there you go. That's John Mitchell...Mitchell for short. If you like the idea of a vampire with an Irish accent living in Bristol, then you can catch him on the UK version of Being Human. The actor that portrays Mitchell is Aidan Turner-also Irish. If you like the look of Aidan, you can soon catch him in The Hobbit movie as Kili.

Thank you Missie for hosting a great meme!

I hope I've introduced somebody you all hope is worth getting to know.

My Book Boyfriend (#29): Caleb Becker

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.


Right so, I haven't done this boy coming up, because I couldn't find a good enough model for him. But I was randomly Google searching and came across a model that I think fits the bill. And ironically his name is actually Caleb. So here is My Book Boyfriend for this week...Caleb Becker from Simone Elkele's Leaving Paradise.

Caleb Becker


Description: Caleb is 17 years old, and he's only recently come out of Juvie for a hit and run whilst drunk driving. He has dark crew cut hair. He and Maggie are supposed to stay away from each other after the accident, but they end up working for the same old lady, and there they forge a new bond that turns to love.




"Maggie-" He takes my hand in his and places my palm against his cheek roughened with a day's worth of stubble. He turns his head and kisses the inner, sensitive part of my palm, his eyes holding my gaze. "I should have done this a year ago." My heart flips over as he leans in and touches his lips to mine.

"Are you following me?" She asks, but doesn't meet my gaze.
"Yeah" I say.
"Why?"
"Honestly?"
She looks at me, her eyebrows raised. I give her the only honest and true answer I have. "You're where I want to be."

“From the look of us, you'd never know we slept in the same bed last night and made out like the world was going to end if we stopped.”

“Why shouldn't I be introspective? We dont' make sense."
"Neither do Chocolate and Peanut Butter, but it somehow works." He says "Somehow the mixture of two things is genius.”





Well there you go. Caleb Becker of Leaving Paradise and Return to Paradise. The model today is Caleb Halstead, he's not perfect but he's pretty close. Closer than most of the men I came up with to begin with. 

If you haven't read these books then you really should!

Thank you to Missie for hosting this each week

My Book Boyfriend (#28): Christian Grey (Fifty Shades)


My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme, hosted by Missie at The Unread 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 Book Boyfriend Introduction Page over at Missie's blog The Unread Reader.

My Book Boyfriend today comes from E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey. It is in fact the completely rich...the completely troubled...the completely kinky...the completely hot...Christian Grey, CEO of Grey's Enterprises Holdings INC...

Christian Grey (Fifty Shades)
Description: 
He's a hot young billionaire CEO.
He's a complete alpha male control freak. *la swoon*
Ana changes him...in more ways than one.
Due to a traumatic childhood he is frightened of being touched on his chest. But that doesn’t stop Ana from trying.
He’s down right witty and a complete kinky horn dog...
 He says "Laters Baby" a lot which he picked up from his equally hot brother Elliot. But Christian says is better.
His eyes are grey and intense
He doesn’t like it when you bite your bottom lip...he finds it distracting.
He doesn't ‘make love’. He f**ks...hard *fans self*
He drives Ana's inner Goddess wild!


Quotes:

"But, here's the thing- one moment you say "don't defy me," the next you say you liked to be challenged. That's a very fine line to tread successfully.
He gazes at me for a moment, then frowns.
"I can see that. But you seem to be doing fine so far"
"But at what personal cost? I'm tied up in knots here."
"I like you tied up in knots" he smirks.
"That's not what I meant" I splash him in exasperation.
He gazes down at me, arching an eyebrow.
"Did you just splash me?"
"Yes." Holy shit... that look.
"Oh, Miss Steele." He grabs me and pulls me into his lap, sloshing water all over the floor. "I think we've done enough talking now."

"But I'm a selfish man. I've wanted you since you fell into my office. You are exquisite, honest, warm, strong, witty, beguilingly innocent; the list is endless. I am in awe of you. I want you, and the thought of anyone else having you is like a knife twisting in my dark soul."

"He looks up, gazing at me, his expression is disconcerted, alarmed even. Placing his hands on either side of my face, he holds my head in place.
"You. Are. Mine" he says, each word a staccato. "Do you understand?" He's so earnest, so impassioned- a zealot. 
The force of his plea is so unexpected and disarming. I wonder why he's feeling like this.
"Yes, yours," I whisper, derailed by his fervor.

"Laters, baby"

"Why don't you like to be touched?" "Because I'm fifty shades of f**ked up, Anastasia."


Ah Christian. I give you all permission to swoon. Go ahead, your inner Goddesses collapsed ages ago. Isn't he amazing? My model today is Andrew Stetson...*licks screen*. He's who I picture as my Fifty Shades of F**ked up. Andrew is perfect because Christian is perfect...well except for the controlling, kinky side of him. But still...ain't he marvelous?

Who's your Book Boyfriend this week?

Thank you to Missie for hosting such a great meme!

See you next week

Happy swooning.

My Book Boyfriend (#27): Noah Shaw


My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme, hosted by Missie at The Unread 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 Book Boyfriend Introduction Page over at Missie's blog The Unread Reader.

Happy New Year everyone!! Welcome back to Book Boyfriend. I hope you all had a nice Christmas, and your New Year so far has been a nice one.

Well lets get started! My Book Boyfriend today comes from The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. He is...Noah Shaw

Noah Shaw


Description: Noah has a British accent. He wears chucks with no laces, and excels at using sexual innuendos ALL the time. His chestnut hair is always in disarray (bed-hair) and his eyes are almost grey. He has a scruffy jaw due to his 5 O'Clock shadow. He's a mysterious boy, with lots of secrets.




Quotes: “You want me as much as I want you. And all I want is you."
My tongue warred with my mind. "Today," I whispered.
Noah stood slowly, his body skimming mine as he rose. "Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever.”

“Have you kissed many boys before?" he asked quietly.
His question brought my mind back into focus. I raised an eyebrow. "Boys? That's an assumption."
Noah laughed, the sound low and husky. "Girls, then?"
"No."
"Not many girls? Or not many boys?"
"Neither," I said. Let him make of that what he would.
"How many?"
"Why—"
"I am taking away that word. You are no longer allowed to use it. How many?"
My cheeks flushed, but my voice was steady as I answered. "One."
At this, Noah leaned in impossibly closer, the slender muscles in his forearm flexing as he bent his elbow to bring himself nearer to me, almost touching. I was heady with the proximity of him and grew legitimately concerned that my heart might explode. Maybe Noah wasn't asking. Maybe I didn't mind. I closed my eyes and felt Noah's five o' clock graze my jaw, and the faintest whisper of his lips at my ear.
"He was doing it wrong.” 


“Is there any point asking what you're going to make me do on Sunday?"
"Not really."
Okay. "Is there any point asking what you're going to do to me?"
He grinned wickedly. "Not really."
Fabulous. "Does it involve the use of a safe word?"
"That will depend entirely on you." Noah moved impossibly closer, just inches away. A few freckles disappeared into the scruff on his jaw. "I'll be gentle," Noah added. My breath caught in my throat as he looked at me from beneath those lashes, ruining me.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "You're evil."
In response, Noah smiled, and raised his finger to gently tap the tip of my nose. "And you're mine," he said, then walked away.” 


Well my Noah is portrayed by model Ryan Mertz. Ok so yeah, he's a little older than what Noah should be and he doesn't have the scruffy jaw, but he has a hell of a jaw! He's pretty much perfect for him. Happy Fricken New Year! 

What do you think to Noah? Have you read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer?

My Book Boyfriend (#26): Take them home for Christmas special + Giveaway: Featuring the Poughkeepsie brothers


My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme, hosted by Missie at The Unread 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 Book Boyfriend Introduction Page over at Missie's blog The Unread Reader.


Alright ladies (and gentlemen if there are any). I have a Christmas special for you today.  I'm going to triple team you all today (I mean that in the most non sexual way ever). I have three special boys-men-for you. They are foster brothers,  Beckett Taylor, Cole Bridge, and Blake Hartt. And these three foster brothers all come from Debra Anastasia's new novel Poughkeepsie. So here they are...:

Beckett Taylor
Description: Tall, muscular and tattooed. He's s a mobster. Even though he's a little bit evil he has a kind heart towards children and his foster brothers. He goes all out to try and protect his brothers and the people they love. Including murder. His personality is magnetic, and if he even looks at you, you blush. 
Quote: "Beckett wasn't ready to leave. Cole and Blake might never understand
how much he hungered for their monthly meetings. He loved feeling like
Poughkeepsie he had a family. He was so used to watching his back and striking first. The easy camaraderie they shared was a balm on his frazzled nerves. Their matching
tattoos were the only ones any of them had.

Beckett pulled himself up into the Hummer. He’d wait a little longer,
just in case. There were a lot of illegal, deadly things stored in Beckett’s car,
but the only thing he kept hidden was the cd he now pulled out from under
the driver’s seat. He slipped it in the player and turned on the power, letting
the classical music sweep over him like a cool breeze. It was the soundtrack
of his boys. The music that saved them. Blake’s music."




My model for Beckett today is Australian ex-rugby star turned model, Daniel Conn. I found that Beckett was a hard one to picture. When I think of mobsters in fiction I always seem to picture them Hispanic (no disrespect to any Hispanic followers). So I emailed Debra and told her, I was having trouble thinking of Beckett. She gave me a few suggestions, and most of them were pretty good. But they weren't dark enough for me to use as Beckett. So I went on a hunt and came across Daniel who is, lets face it, extremely sexy, and I decided that he would be my Beckett, because Beckett is extremely sexy and manly! So there you go, Daniel Conn is foster brother number one, Beckett Taylor.
