Cupid Cloud Hop: Book Boyfriend Spotlight-Anna and the French Kiss

Today I’m excited to host a Book Boyfriend Spotlight for WinterHaven's Cupid Cloud Hop. This week WinterHaven and a great group of Cupid Cloud Hop bloggers are posting their

Book Boyfriend and Sweetheart Couple Spotlights.

My Book Boyfriend Spotlight is dedicated to Etienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss .

I am in love with the humor he brings into this romantic story! This is one book I could read over and over again!

 "Etienne. My feet trip in three syllables. E-ti-enne, E-ti-enne; E-ti-enne. His name coats my tongue like melting chocolate. He is so beautiful, so perfect." - Anna

Since I can’t post a pictures of Etienne, please refer to this board on Pinterest that is captured by many fans perfectly.

 My Favorite Quotes...

“I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.”

“Most people in Atlanta don't have an accent. It's pretty urban. A lot of people speak gangsta, though," I add jokingly.

"Fo' shiz," he replies in his polite English accent.

I spurt orangey-red soup across the table. St. Clair gives a surprised ha-HA kind of laugh, and I'm laughing too, the painful kind like abdominal crunches. He hands me a napkin to wipe my chin. "Fo'. Shiz." He repeats it solemnly.

Cough cough. "Please don't ever stop saying that. It's too-" I gasp. "Much."

"You oughtn't to have said that. Now I shall have to save it for special occasions."

"My birthday is in February." Cough choke wheeze. "Please don't forget.” 

“We both got our Point Zero wishes - each other. He said he wished for me every time.” 

 “His eyes lock on mine."Anna,I promise that I will never leave you."

My heart pounds in response.And Étienne knows it,because he takes my hand and holds it against his chest,to show me how hard his heart is pounding,too.” 

“When I come back, the club is packed. There's hardly any standing room. Anna snagged a wooden bar stool, one of the few seats here. St. Clair stands close to her, facing her, and he smoothes the platinum stripe in her hair. She pulls him even closer by the top of his jeans, one finger tucked inside. It's an intimate gesture. I'm embarrassed to watch, but I can't look away.

He kisses her slowly and deeply. They don't care that anyone could watch. Or maybe they've forgotten they aren't alone. When they break apart, Anna says something that makes him fall into silly, boyish laughter. For some reason, that's the moment that makes me turn away. Something about their love is painful.” 

“I'm a little distracted by this English French American Boy Masterpiece.” 

"I'll only be a twenty-minute train ride from your school, and I'll make the commute to see you every night. I'd take a commute ten times that just to be with you every night."

"Will you please tell me you love me? I'm dying here."

My Thoughts:

So in love with this book. I want to read it again and again. Its a must read!!

Okay, this is a NO-BRAINER!!! READ THIS!! After reading this amazing book, I felt like a giddy school girl crazy in love... I have to say this is probobly one of my favorite books!! I love the humor that is wrapped up into this cute romantic story.

I totally lost myself in this book and I didn't want it to EVER end! I would totally give this book a way higher rating if it was available, no joke! The writting is smooth and easy to follow as well as the story itself. And the Characters, wow, love all of them (even the b*$%# Amanda) They were so well written it's like you actually know them. I loved everything about Etienne. He is flawed but when he loves, he loves with his whole heart. The chemistry between Anna and Etienne is magnetic and beautiful.

Who couldn't fall in love with a book so well written and staged in Paris, the most romantic city in the world...

Cupid Cloud Hop: Book Boyfriend Spotlight- Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

Today I’m excited to host a Book Boyfriend Spotlight for WinterHaven's Cupid Cloud Hop. This week WinterHaven and a great group of Cupid Cloud Hop bloggers are posting their 

Book Boyfriend and Sweetheart Couple Spotlights. 

My Book Boyfriend Spotlight is dedicated to Dean Holder from Hopeless by Colleen Hover.

I am in love with the way this man loves!!!

 "Everything about him, from his tousled dark hair, to his stark blue eyes, to that...dimple, to his thick arms that I just want to reach out and touch"

Since I can’t post a  pictures of Holder, please refer to this board on Pinterest that is captured by many fans perfectly. But my ideal  Holder would be the very gorgeous, Drew Van Acker:)

                                                                Dean Holder

                                                             Favorite Quotes      

~“You don't deserve words, Sky. You deserve actions.” 

~“I’ve been looking for you my whole damn life.” 

~"I swear I will spend every last breath thanking you for allowing yourself to love me.”

~“You just have to choose which wrong choice feels the least wrong.” 

~“The moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss. Because if you've never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you.” 

~“Fu*k all the firsts, Sky. The only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers.” 

~"I live you, Sky," he says against my lips. "I live you so much.” 

~“When I touch you, I’m touching you because I want to make you happy. When I kiss you, I’m kissing you because you have the most incredible mouth I’ve ever seen and you know I can’t not kiss it. And when I make love to you—I’m doing exactly that. I’m making love to you because I’m in love with you.” 

~“I fucking loved that girl, Sky. I need to believe that what she did was the only answer she had left, because if I don’t, then I’ll never forgive myself for not helping her find a different one.” 

~“Just because you blocked the memory of me out of your mind doesn't mean you blocked the memory of me out of your heart” 

~“Not everyone gets a happily every after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.” 

~“That's all I need," I say. "Well...I need the lamp. And the astray. And the remote control. And the paddleball game. And you, Dean Holder. But that's all I need” 

~"Will you promise me that when he makes you sad, you'll think of the sky?"
"The sky is always beautiful. Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy, it's still beautiful to look at."
"I promise," I whisper.
"Good." he says. He reaches his hand out and wraps his pinky around mine.

My Thoughts:
Gorgeous!
Once in awhile a book comes along that is so powerful and emotional every single cell in your body screams with tears and laughter and happiness. Hopeless was that book for me.
In all honesty I don't even know what to say about this book. It was one of the most riveting and heart breaking stories ever told. Sky is the kind of character that knows that she's not all there, but doesn't understand why, that is till she meets Dean Holder and all the pieces of her dreams and nightmares come tumbling down.
Colleen Hoover is such an amazing writer! She takes words and turns them into pure magic. I held on to ever sentence that was written and even re-read some scenes over and over again till those moment were memorized. And Sky and Holder own every single one of those moments. While this may have been one of the hardest stories to endure, due to it's very horrific issue, it's also by far one of the most beautiful love story that I've ever read. I'm absolutely in love with the way Holder loves. He's passionate and emotional and scared and fearless and everything you need a love interest to be. He melted my heart into putty.

I simply couldn't love a story more. It's beautiful and terrible and an absolute must read for every single soul!
