Follow Friday #50: Book Crush


Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow!
 

Question: Activity! Who is your to-die-for book crush? What do you think they look like? Add an image to make us all happy.
Answer: My to-die-for crush has been the same for two years now. I am in love with Curran Lennart from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. I love everything about him. He's not the most good looking or the most eloquent, but dear God, that Beast Lord has passion and charisma like no other. I got the description of Curran from the author's website:
 
Age: 31
Gender: male
Height: 5’11
Build: muscular, defined, gives off a sense of coiled strength about to explode
Hair: blond, typically cut short except during the flare when it grows into a mane within a few days
Eyes: grey, luminescent with gold when excited or angry. Curran’s gaze is extremely difficult to hold.
Skin: naturally pale, but he tends to bake himself in the sun every chance he gets
Distinguishing marks: broken nose that didn’t quite heal right, very unusual for shapeshifter
Beast Form: an enormous grey lion, striped with darker grey, like smoke blown against grey velvet.


CSI: Librarian posted this picture of Jessie Pavelka as the closest to a Curran look-a-like and I have to agree.

Please let me know if you followed me in your comment so I can follow you back. Happy Friday!

    OMG you made Curran so much hotter for me just now. I always had a weird impression of his physical appearance, and never really got far when I tried to imagine what he looked like, but I think.. now.. Herher. Thank you for that! ;D

      LOL. It has been hard for me to picture him too. Curran might not be as yummy but this guy gives a nice visual.

    Nice photo, but you can't have him because he's MINE (Curran I mean). It's that edge of insanity and danger that I adore about him.

      Oh yes, the danger and the edge of insanity is just as hot. But we now must fight over him because he is MINE. You pick the weapons.
