My Book Boyfriend: Manuel Manello

My Book Boyfriend is an weekly meme hosted by Missie at The Unread  Reader

My Book Boyfriend for this week is Dr Manuel Manello also known as Manny from J.R Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood Series Lover Unleashed.

Dr. Manuel "Manny" Manello is Chief of Surgery at St. Francis and was Jane Whitcomb's old boss and arguably her closest friend until her ‘death’. In Lover Unleashed after suffering a paralyzing injury while sparring with Wrath, Payne’s life (as well as her mobility) is in jeopardy. When Doc Jane realizes the damage is too great for her to repair, she goes looking for Manny, as he is a world renowned orthopedic Surgeon.

“What?”

“A kiss.” He held up his hands. “Doesn’t have to be all hot and heavy. Just … a kiss.”

When she didn’t reply, he wanted to kick his own ass. And thought seriously of turning himself

in to that brother of hers for the beating he deserved.

“Show me how?” she whispered.

It finally happened, he thought as he burrowed under his shirt and took hold of his heavy cross. All his life he’d wondered why he’d never fallen in love, and now he knew: He’d been waiting for this moment, this woman, this time. The female is mine, he thought.

I went on a Manny hunt but sadly the picks readers recommended just didn't fit for me but when I saw Missie's MBB post for Manny played by Jo Weil. I said, YESS THAT'S THE ONE!!

My Book Boyfriend: John Matthew

 

MBB is an weekly meme hosted every Wednesday by Missie at The Unread Reader.  

Hello my pretties.. Today I will like to introduce you to John Matthew from J.R. Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood. My new book boyfriend :)

by Anyae

John Matthew/Tehrror is the reincarnation of Darius. Born mute, John uses American Sign Language and whistling to communicate with others. Before learning that he was a pre-trans vampire, he lived alone in the human world. At one point, he was cornered in the hallway to his apartment and raped by an unknown human. In despair John turned to the suicide prevention network in Caldwell and met Mary Luce. He followed her home so that he could meet her; during this meeting, Mary's neighbor, Bella, visited and sensed John was a vampire like her. As the introductions ensued, Bella noticed a bracelet John wore which carried his name in the Old Language. The name of a Brother, Tehrror. Bella contacts the brotherhood and John learns what he is and that he will soon go through his transition to become an adult male vampire. He was also invited to live amongst his kind, at which time he lived with Tohrment and his expectant mate Wellisandra. Now that he has gone through his transition Wrath has made him join the war due to his unexplained proficiency with weapons and knowledge of Lessers. His story is told in Lover Mine. He is best friends with Qhuinn and Blaylock, and now is Xhex's mated Hellren. He shares a kinship with Zsadist because of the traumatic similarities in their pasts.

John leaned in and pressed his lips to hers; then he stretched out beside her. His body was exhausted but, his heart was alive with a joy so pure it was like the sunlight he didn't get to see anymore: He was a mute-ass motherfucker with a nasty past and a night job that involved fighting evil and slaughtering the undead. And in spite of all that...he'd gotten the girl.

~Lover Mine

John lifted his head and looked down at her. His eyes were worried and he was careful as he brushed at her hair. She smiled.

"Nah, I'm fine. I'm more than fine."
A sly grin bloomed as he mouthed, ain't that the truth.
"Hold up there, big man. You think you can make me blush like I'm some girl ? Pulling that sweet talk?"
As he nodded, she rolled her eyes.
"I'll have you know I'm not the kind of female who goes all dizzy, popping a stiletto off the floor just because some guy kisses her deep."
John was all male as he cocked a brow. And damn it if she didn't feel a tingle in her cheeks.
" Listen, John Matthew." She took his chin in her hand. "You're not turning me into one of these females who goes gaga over her lover. Not happening. I'm not hard-wired for that."
Her voice was stern and she meant every word, except the instant he rolled his hips and that huge arousal pushed into her, she purred.
She purred.
The sound was utterly foreign and she'd have sucked it back down her throat if she could have. Instead, she just left out another of those decidedly non-tough-guy moans. John bowed his head to her breast and started suckling on her as he somehow manage to keep thrusting in slow, even penetrations. Swept away, her hands found his hair again, spearing through the thick softness.
" Oh, John..."
And then he stopped dead, lifted his lips from her nipple, and smiled so wide it was a wonder he didn't bust off his front teeth. His expression was one of total and complete gotcha.
" You are a bastard, " she said on a laugh.
He nodded. And pressed into her with his full lenght again. It was perfect that he was giving her shit and showing her a little of who was boss. Just perfect. Somehow it made her respect him even more, but then, she'd always loved strength in all its forms. Even the teasing kind.
"I'm not surrendering , you know."
He pursed his lips and shook his head, all oh, no, of course not. And then he started to pull out of her. As she growled low in her throat, she sank her nails into his ass.
"Where do you think you're going ?”

~Lover Mine

John Matthew is played by Channing Tatum... I had no idea he had such a great ass before I watched The Vow.

I wanted to introduce Tohrment to everyone this week, but just didn't feel right breaking the circle. Will go as the books.

My Book Boyfriend: Rehvenge aka The Reverend

 

MBB is an weekly meme hosted every Wednesday by Missie at The Unread Reader  

Today my book boyfriend is Rehvenge from J.R. Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood.

by Anyae & AnneAtkinson

Rehvenge, Son of Rempoon. Rehvenge is half symphath, and owner of a local club called ZeroSum. He is also a member of the vampire aristocracy and the "Princeps Leahdyre" of its council. He hides the fact that he is half "symphath" even from his own sister, Bella. His story is told in Lover Avenged. He is also known as The Reverend. The Reverend is also known for his barb, if you know what I mean. And his famous Mohawk.

“Rehvenge?”

“Yes.”

“Take my vein.”

She could tell she’d shocked the shit out of him by the way his breath caught. “Excuse…Whwhat?”

She had to smile, thinking that he wasn’t the kind of male who stuttered much. “Take my vein.

Let me give you something.”

Through his parted lips she saw his fangs elongate, not so much inching as punching out of his skull.

“I’m not sure…whether that would be…” As his breath grew ragged, his voice got even deeper.

She put her hand to her neck and massaged her jugular slowly. “I think it’s a great idea.” As his eyes glowed purple, she eased onto her back and cocked her head to the side, exposing her throat.
“Ehlena…”

What this scene follows was just BAM. Blows your mind.

“Looks like I’m spending my future with you,” she said against his mouth.

He shuddered, as if he were letting his last doubts go. “I don’t deserve you.”

“Yes, you do.”

“I’m going to take care of you.”

“I know.”

“And like I said, I’m not going back to what I did before here in town.”

“Good.” He paused, as if he wanted to reassure her even more and was searching for words.

“Stop talking and kiss me again. My heart’s made up and so is my mind, and there’s nothing more you need to tell me. I know who you are. You’re my hellren.”

And there is a happy ending. That's why I partly love reading about the brotherhood.

Rehvenge is played by Marco da Silva. Google him, I promise it's not easy finding one picture of him with his pants on. Not that I am complaining ;)

You MUST watch this video. It's just... UNF

I started bringing all the Black Dagger Brotherhood as my boyfriends  because the last book Lover Reborn is coming out this month on 27th. So far I have introduced everyone to Wrath the blind king , Rhage , Zsadist , Butch O'Neal , Vishous & Phury. Now that I have revealed my seventh boyfriend from the brotherhood, I have only five more left to introduce! Hope everyone enjoys all these man candy that's called the Black Dagger Brotherhood :)

My Book Boyfriend: Phury

This week I am going to introduce everyone to another one of my BDB boyfriend. And he is my favorite, yes he is THE one. Phury from Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward.

by Anyae

Phury, son of Aghony, is Zsadist's twin brother and a celibate who cannot truly live because of everything his biological brother has lost. Phury is incredibly loyal to his brother, even shooting off his own leg to save his twin. His noble nature went so far as to help release Vishous from being "Primale" to the Chosen. He eventually falls in love with the Chosen, Cormia, his first mate. His story is told in Lover Enshrined.

“Your scent is so strong,” she said in a deep voice.

“Yes.” He put the chalk down and inhaled, smelling jasmine. “So is yours.”

“You want to kiss me, don’t you.”

He nodded. “Yeah. I do.”

“You untucked your shirt. Why?”

“I’m hard. I got hard the moment you came into the office.”

Cormia emerged from the Primale temple, her lovely face stunned as she looked around. When she saw him, her hands clamped to her mouth and her eyes started to blink fast.

With a cry, she gathered her gorgeous pale lavender robe and ran toward him, tears streaming down her cheeks.

He caught her as she leaped up to him and held her warm body to his.

“I love you,” she choked out. “I love you, I love you . . . I love you.”

In that moment, with the world that was his in transformation, and his shellan safely in his arms, he felt something he never would have imagined.

He finally felt like the hero he had always wanted to be.

Phury was played by Travis Fimmel. I am now a bit tempted to read Lover Enshrined again.

My Book Boyfriend: Vishous

MBB is an weekly meme hosted evey Wednesday by Missie at The Unread Reader 

This week I will continue my BDB book boyfriend with Vishous from Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. 

THIS POST CONTAINS MALE ON MALE LOVING... Soooo yeah

by Anyae and geeport

Vishous is the most intelligent and the one who is specially gifted. His curse is his ability to prognosticate: he sees the future, though not the 'when' of events so he is tortured by his inability to save those he loves from danger. Tattooed on his face, his genitals, - which are scarred since his father tried to castrate him - and his entire hand, he has the ability of psychometry. All of this was inherited from his mother The Scribe Virgin. He falls in love with a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb. His story is told in Lover Unbound. Although I still feel like he was meant to be with Butch.

My Book Boyfriend: Butch O'Neal

My book boyfriend of BDB boys continues. Today my book boyfriend is Butch O'Neal from Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.

by Anyae

Butch/Dhestroyer is the only male human to be allowed within the Brotherhood, and is descended from Wrath. This connection to him allows him to be "turned" and he is initiated in the BDB. He has been through all the book of the brother hood. He lives at the "Pit", a two bedroom gate-house connected to the mansion where the King and other Brothers reside, with Vishous and he is a friend to all the warriors. An ex-homicide detective, he was lovingly given the nickname "Cop" by the vampires. He is the object of an ancient Lesser Prophecy, and has the ability to sense them wherever they are and can absorb them into himself. His story and his love for the vampire Marissa is told in Lover Revealed.

~Wiki

He took her mouth again, and now he kissed her with an ownership he had no right to, one hand shooting down to the small of her back, pressing her into his arousal. He felt this urgent need to stake a claim on her so that anything male would know whose woman she was. Which was nuts. Abruptly she jerked back. As she sniffed the air, she seemed confused. "Do human males bond?"

"Ah... we get emotional, sure."

"No... bond." She buried her face in his neck, inhaled, then started to rub her nose against his skin.

He gripped her hips, wondering just how far things were going to go. He wasn't sure he had the strength for sex, even though he was totally erect. And he didn't want to presume anything. But Jesus God in heaven he wanted it from her.

"I love the way you smell, Butch."

"It's probably the soap I just used." As her fangs dragged up his neck, he groaned, "Oh, shit... don't... stop..."

"Marissa..." It was all he could say.

As his voice seemed to have dried up, he kissed her, and while they embraced, a great cheer rose up into the vast foyer.

"I'm so sorry I was weak," she whispered in his ear. "Beth and Mary and Bella came to see me. I'm never going to be at peace with the danger you face as a member of the Brotherhood. I'm going to worry every night. But they trust their males to be careful, and I... I believe you love me. I believe you wouldn't leave me if you could help it. I... I believe you will be careful with yourself and that you will stop if the evil threatens to overwhelm you. If they can handle the fear of loss, so can I." He squeezed her even tighter. "I'll be careful, I swear. I swear."

They stayed on the floor, locked together, for a while. Then Butch lifted his head and looked at Wrath, who had taken Beth into his arms.

"So, brother," Butch said. "You got a knife and some salt? Time to finish a certain mating, you feel me?"

"We've got you covered, my man."

My Book Boyfriend: Zsadist

MBB is an weekly meme hosted evey Wednesday by Missie at The Unread Reader

Zsadist.... If you have read even ONE book from the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward you know who I am talking about. So today my boyfriend will be Zsadist (and hopefully Wrath and Rhage will have no problem sharing my bed)

WARNING EXPLICIT PICTURES AHEAD.

My Book Boyfriend: Rhage

Today on my book boyfriend I have another brother I would like all of you to meet. If you read the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward than Rhage is no stranger to you. YES! I shall ravish Rhage in this post ;)

by Anyae and geeport

Rhage aka Hollywood, is a sex legend in the vampire world. He is very pretty but don't be deluded by the outer shell. He has a dark side. A very very dark side of him and when his dark side takes over as the beast everyone, including his brothers stay out of his way. He is the only vampire in the brotherhood to take a human as his shellan.... I think. Also he has a fetish for tootsie pop.

Mary stared up into Rhage's electric blue eyes. She could swear they were blazing in the darkness, that teal light was actually coming out of them. She'd sensed a similar thing back in the parking lot.

The hair on the nape of her neck stood up.

"Don't worry about the glow," he said softly, as if he'd read her mind.

"It's nothing."

"I don't understand you," she whispered.

"Don't try to."

He closed the distance between them, dipping low. His lips were soft as suede against hers, lingering, clinging. His tongue came out and stroked over her mouth.

"Open for me, Mary. Let me in."

~Lover Eernal

He took her hand and put it around one of his.

"Then show me, Mary," he said into her ear. "Show me where you want me to go. Lead me. Go on. Do it."

Unable to stop herself, she took his palm and put it on her neck. In a slow sweep, she brought it back to her breast. He purred his approval and kissed the side of her jaw.

"Yeah, there. We know you want me to go there. Where else?"

Mindless, out of control, she drew his hand down to her stomach. Then over to her hip.

"Good. That's good." When she hesitated, he whispered, "Don't stop, Mary. Keep going. Show me where you want me to go."

Never ending sexual frustration.

The thing about Rhage is that he can talk dirty and yet make it sound sensual and romantic at the same time. It's absurd! 

Again like Wrath I had hard time picking someone to play the part of Rhage. Jason Lewis seems to be a very popular choice for Rhage's character.You know when you go into google you find all sort of stuff! I found that Jason looks pretty awesome when he is kissing a boy.

My Book Boyfriend: Wrath The Blind King

MBB is an weekly meme hosted evey Wednesday by Missie at The Unread Reader

This week I will start with BDB boyfriends. This week my book boyfriend is Wrath, also known as The Blind King from Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.

by Anyae and geeport

Wrath, son of Wrath, is the King of the vampires and is the last pure blood vampire in existence. He is the leader who was not willing to ascend the throne. Wrath is blind and relies on a dog called George who sleeps with him and his wife, Beth.

First appears in Dark Lover

What got me reading the BDB series was Wrath. The way he was described in the books. And I think also because it was one of my first adult romance novel that had a plot! *shifty eyes*

Wrath was dumbfounded.

And he wasn't a vampire who got struck stupid very often.

Holy shit.

This half-human was the hottest thing he'd ever gotten anywhere near. And he'd cozied up to a lightning strike once or twice before.

It was the red smoke. That had to be it. And the stuff must be getting to him, too, because he was more than ready to take her.

He eyed the cigarillo.

Well, that's some damn good rationalizing, he thought. Too bad the shit was a relaxant, not an aphrodisiac.

She groaned again, her body undulating in a sexy wave, her legs opening wide. The scent of her arousal hit him hard as a body shot. God, he would have been sent to his knees if he hadn't already been sitting down.

"Touch me," she moaned.

*fan self* I have been searching for the perfect Wrath for a looooong time, but sadly no one has come close. The long hair, the body, the eyes. Well after some searching and lot of discussion with my friend Calanthaa, I decided to stick to Renne Castrucci.

My Book Boyfriend: Giovanni Vecchio

Today I will be introducing another book boyfriend of mine. Giovanni Vecchio from Elemental Mysteries series by Elizabeth Hunter.

Name: Giovanni Vecchio
Age: Over 500 years Ialian
Was turned into a Vampire around late 14oo's
Has the power to manipulate fire
Appears in Elemental Mysteries series

Giovanni's Italian accent is enough to make you go weak in the knees. He can manipulate fire, has complicated relationship with his son and he is completely smitten with Beatrice De Novo.

She stood in front of him, her eyes bold as she met his hungry stare, and all Giovanni would have had to do was take one step and he could have wrapped his body around hers, laid his mouth on her soft neck, and swallowed the thick blood that called to him. He swallowed slowly, and ignored the burn in his throat and the smell of honeysuckle and lemon that filled the air.

“I’m not going to deny that I’m attracted to you, Beatrice. Denying that would be foolish and insulting to us both.”

“But you’re not going to kiss me again, are you?”

“No.”

“Did you want to bite me?”

He searched her eyes, trying to determine what answer she wanted, but though he had observed humanity for five hundred years, her enigmatic eyes were still a mystery to him.

“Yes.”

~A Hidden Fire

Giovanni was quite hard to pick but I think Gilles Marini will make a totally awesome 500 year old Italian vampire with blue fires comeiong out of his hands.

My Book Boyfriend : Julian of Macedon

Today I would like you all to meet another book boyfriend of mine. Julian of Macedon from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series Fantasy Lover.

Julian is a Greek love slave, summoned to you know... become love slaves of women 

Name: Julian Of Macedon 

Greek love slave summoned to be love slave and show off his talent?!?

Still learning how to drive and master parallel parking.

"Because I have no boobs. My ears stand out, and I have freckles all over me."
"Boobs?"
"Breasts."
"You have very nice breasts."
"Thanks. What about you?"
"I have no breasts. (Julian)"

“You okay?"
"Oh, yeah. I’m just fine considering the fact I’ve walked through burning fires that hurt less than my groin does right now."
"I said I was sorry. Okay, can you reach the pedals?"
"I’d like to reach your pedals…"
"Julian! Would you concentrate?"
"All right. I’m concentrating."
"I don’t mean on my breasts." He dropped his hungry gaze to her lap. "Or there, either.”

Le sigh. This days Julian has recently retired from his post as a Greek love slave *but he becomes one in special occasions, which involves Grace Alexander* and now he is a Greek history professor teaching in a college ....and I really can't recall the college name. 

Julian of Macedon is played by Ben Hill. Thank you Missie for the introducing me to him through Archimedes Fox  ;)

My Book Boyfriend: Ian McFarland

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme hosted by Missie from The Unread Reader.

This week I am going to introduce another boyfriend to everyone. Ian McFarland from All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins.

Ian is a vet who just moved in Georgebury, Vermont, he is absolutely socially retarded (as Callie puts it) he is not a people's person, he does not do the 'wooing' a woman intentionally. To Callie he first reminds her of a Russian assassin who can kill a fly with his pinkie. As soon as I read that my mind just went straight to

However Ian is a complete softy and a romantic hidden behind all that layers. And Jason here just doesn't seem like the softy or romantic one more like crazy hot rough sex against the wall serious kindda guy. And also Ian has short cropped blond hair another reason Jason gets ruled out of the competition to fill Mr. McFarland's shoes. 

Now let me introduce you to Ian properly.

Name: Ian McFarland
Age: 30 something
Occupation: Hot Vet in Georgebury, Vermont
Height: Over six feet and then some
Eyes: Blue *le sigh*
Hair: Blond

He does, says stuff that makes me swoon sigh and get all dreamy eyes.

He wore jeans...I'd yet to see him in something other than a suit, and I was having a hard time taking my eyes off those jeans, which fit very nicely. His polo shirt was a faded red, and somehow he managed to look quite...dangerous in a most pleasing and (let's be honest) horny way. Like at any minute he'd get the call from a mysterious government agency and trot off to kill someone, the way Clive Owen did in The Bourne Identity. I'll bet Ian had some cool scar somewhere...yes, actually, there it was, up near his eye. Knife fight, I'd bet hard cash.

I'd also bet he knew how to kiss. Guys who looked like that could kiss, ladies. Or so my romance novels told me. Hard kissing. Kisses that started hard, anyway, then went soft and long and the woman would be pulled against his unyielding chest, his arms like bands of steel, me all soft and melting, him hard and hot...

Oh...God. He was in a tux. I'd sort of forgotten to think about that. He looked like an assassin about to infiltrate a state dinner...tall, blond, dangerous, and heavens, it was aturn-on! Those eyes of his were staring back at me, and you know what, it had been a long time since I'd had sex, and could we please just do it right here in this hallway? Holy. Guaca. Moley.

His eyes drifted down, slowly, assessingly, then back up, pausing at the girls for a gratifying heartbeat or three, then continuing up to my face. "Let's go," he said, then cleared his throat.

I snapped out of my haze of lust. "'Let's go,' Ian? Can't you do better than that? Here, I'll give you an example." I smiled and let my eyes drift over him once more. Frrrroooww! "Ian, you look...amazing. Wow. Okay, now it's your turn."

He almost smiled. "You look pretty. Let's go."

I sighed. "You're a work in progress, Ian McFarland."

Dr McFarland definitely is the kindda man you take home to meet the parents and have a happily ever after with. And I am so totally in love with HIM! *more sighs*

Ian McFarland was played by Paul Walker and Jason Statham
