Winterhaven Books has organized a Cupid Cloud Hop for the month of February 2013!!!
This week we’re asked to spotlight a book that includes our favorite book boyfriend or sweetheart couple!
Book boyfriends are hard… I have a lot of them these days it seems! Â But one that I revisit often is Jase from My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. Â I picked this book up on a whim because I fell in love with the cover … I didn’t have any idea it would become one of my favorites of 2012!!
Here, let me share a few of my favorite Jase moments with you…
His hands are rough and capable. So much about Jase Garrett seems like a man, not a boy.
“Jase?”
“Mmm-hmm?” He lifts up on one elbow, his face barely visible in the twilight.
“You have to kiss me,” I find myself saying.
“Yeah.” He leans closer. “I do.”
He pulls on my lower lip gently with his teeth, then fits his mouth to mine. Â First so careful, and then so deep and deliberate, that I can’t think of anything at all but his smooth back under my hands.Â
He looks up at my face, his eyes drowsy and dazzled. “I know. I know. I want to. But not like this. Not with no time. Not with nothing -” He swallows. “Not like this. Â But Jesus, Samantha. Look at you.”
And the way he does look at me makes me feel absolutely beautiful.
“I can’t look away,” he whispers huskily. Â “But I have to go.” Taking a deep breath, he buttons my nightgown back up, then presses a kiss to my throat.
He walks slowly over, his eyes locked on mine, then puts his hands around my waist.
“Um. So…are we going to study?” My tone’s deliberately casual.
Jase slides his thumbs behind my ears, rubbing the hollow at their base.  He’s only inches from my face, still looking into my eyes. “You bet. I’m studying you.”Â
These are just regular days … Can you imagine what spending Valentine’s Day with him would be like???
This boy gave me all the swoons throughout this book and that’s why I have to list him as my favorite book boyfriend. Â If you haven’t checked out My Life Next Door, I strongly recommend doing so now… (psssstttttt watch the blog for a giveaway VERY SOON!)Â
